Russian flightsim update... June 2006

[Ivan]

OK at last a new one

Airliners
[*]Project Tupolev: Their soon-to-be-released Tu-154M is reportedly being tested by experts from Tupolev OKB.
[*]Samdim Tu-124: Painting in progress, when that is done it will be released.
[*]Tu-104 project (tu104.avsim.ru): Revised FS2004 FDE available here.

GA stuff
[*]New An-2: New model still under development
[*]Old An-2 (Fsussr one): re-released with a new panel and FDE. Pity they removed the VC again but that was buggy to start with
[*]Yak-18T: Revised FDE at avsim.com... will tell more after I test-flyed it.
[*]Yak-12: Consider the latest avsim.ru version as final. Won't get a pilot figure as the author is busy on another project.
[*]Yak-52: Development screenshots here. Picture in the last post is a Yak-15 jet fighter, no idea about the progress of that one
[*]Su-26: development screenshots here
[*]Li-2: slight update for the panel...

Misc
[*]Aero L-39: screenshots here. Status: VC building in progress

Helicopters
[*]Mi-8: Screenshots here. Will get a full-systems sim... Pax, military and assault model in development.
[*]Mi-6, Mi-10: Status unknown...
[*]Kamov Ka-25: looks nearly finished, screenshots here
[*]Kamov Ka-27: screenshots here. Will be payware
[*]The other Kamov helicopter shown in previous posts died in a harddisk crash...

All of them nice, all of them unusable unless you know Russian or the plane we're speaking about is a GA one, like the an2 (simpler to fly if compared to a liner).

I said it already, I repeat it now. Damn shame.

Ivan can you give a link to a Lisunov LI-2 (The Russian DC3)? I searched AvSim.ru but don't understand anything of it. Can't find it anywhere. Many thanks.

Whenever I visit Avsim.ru I go there by entering the url here (http://babelfish.altavista.com/) - some of the translations are a little odd, but it's worth it to get hold of some of the real gems that the Russian guys are making.  Some of their scenery packages are absolutely mindblowing!!  :o

Lots of potential with the Yak 15 - my favourite of the early Soviet jets...
