Russian flightsim update...

[Ivan]

Was about time...

OK, same as always, use babelfish for translation and avsim.ru needs priming in cyryllic before pictures show in the translated version

Aircraft
Various FSUSSR Projects
[*]Il-103: possible VC shot here. At least it doesn't look like the Mi-1 that the thread is about (and not like belonging to the other vintage thing on there either)
[*]Mi-1: some shots in this thread
[*]Other vintage stuff (seems to be 1920s-1930s): see Mi-1 thread

Yak-18
Will get a FDE update to cure the overheating. Timeframe unknown

Mi-14
Not much on this one yet. Seems to be on hold

Samdim Tu-124
Not much news on this one. Another full-cockpit one so it will take some time to complete. Pictures here.

An-28
Screenshots and download here. Avsim.ru thread lost the pictures so i won't list it here

Project Tupolev Tu-154B and M
Not too much happening here... But there is a new version of the 'Groza' radar that can display coastlines and such.

SCS / Project Tupolev Tu-134
Will get a new model sometime in the future. Focus is now on panel and FDE

Mi-6 and Mi-10
here. Be sure to view all pages as haflway the project changes to a Mi-10 (non K and looks like it will be one with 'dustbin')Might be a polygon hog (look at the rotor centers on page 3)... and status of Mi-6 unknown apart from the first gmax screenshot.

That ANT-2 looks soooo cool.

[beaky]

Huh... I saw "Ant-2" and was expecting to see the famous big biplane... that thing looks like an overgrown Aeronca C3... very interesting.

ANT-2 is from an age before the OKB names. And the problem is that Tupolev started from 1 again when they got the 'Tu' OKB designation.

The other name (and official project name) for the An-2 is SKh-1, which translates to 'Collective Farmer'
