Xian H-6

[peperez]

Yehp! The wings has smaller induced drag than Tu-16s one and the engines are slightly more powerfull. You can check the FS98 engine and the wing entries. I tried to put the differences between the Soviet and Chinese planes at the airfiles. All four have small differences between them.

You could help me making a new H-6K (http://www.sinodefence.com/airforce/groundattack/h6.asp). I already have the correct airfile for it using modern Russian turbofans.

Hey, Pepe.  You and Nole have done a great job on the Tu-4, Tu-16 and H-6 series and standoff missiles.  [smiley=engel017.gif]

I'd be happy to do an H-6K variant, if I had access to a decent source file.  Modifying an existing source file for the new solid nose and larger turbofan engines in itself wouldn't be a problem, but starting a project of that magnitude from scratch is beyond me right now because of the (literally) hundreds of hours required for such a job.

I know you have excelent relations with Virtavia people, why not asking them? The H-6M has no turret and also deserves a new model...

Cheers

The folks at Virtavia don't have any idea who I am.

With Nole's help I just uploaded a new version, the H-6H cruise missile bomber...

Cheers

The kind folks at Virtavia* (Previously AlphaSim**) have given us permission to use their wonderful Tu-16 source file to produce more accurate versions of the various H-6 models.  [smiley=dankk2.gif]  [smiley=tekst-toppie.gif]

The Virtavia folks have been generous with their source file  [smiley=dankk2.gif], which is Gmax, and Milton Shupe has been generous with his time helping out  [smiley=engel017.gif]...because I'm helpless in Gmax...just an FSDS man.   So far we've got a couple of very nice H-6 variants for FS2004 and FS2002, but we're struggling to get the models into CFS2.    But perhaps we will find a way.  8-)

Who started this anyhow?     Was it that troublemaker. Pepe?

Looks like we're about to get a very nice, very accurate upgrade to the H model:

so what is the history of the bird? I mean the real one.

[Tango_Romeo]

The H-6 (Hongzha-6 or Hong-6) is the Chinese copy of the Russian Tupolev Tu-16 (NATO codename: Badger) medium-range bomber. For more than three decades, the bomber has remained the backbone of the PLA

[Tango_Romeo]

The two 1998 prototypes had their onboard missile fire-control systems installed and tested in November 1999 and the initial flight testing was completed in April 2000. Two missile firing tests were carried out in November 2002, with both missiles hitting their targets.

The H-6H carries two KD-63 (KongDi-63) air-launched land-attack cruise missiles (LACM) under its wings. The missile appears to be developed from the YJ-6 air-launched anti-ship missile, but with an X-shape tail. Its turbojet may be based on that of the HY-4 land-based anti-ship cruise missile. The KD-63 reportedly uses inertial/GPS mid-course with a TV terminal guidance seeker, carrying a 500kg warhead to a 150~200km range at a speed of Mach 0.9.

The H-6H has all of the 23mm cannon turrets removed. The bomber features an enlarged under-chin radome similar to that of the H-6D to accommodate the fire-control radar. It also has a distinctive black-colour radome located under the rear fuselage, possibly for command link between the missile and the bomber.

very kool. ty for the info. i like the history behind the plane asmuch or more than the planes them selves. CFS2 and the other flightsims are like having a giant model plane collection that you can fly and admire. hence why most of us like it so much.
