more russian brilliance.

your clocks may be 12hours ahead, but i've had this two days:



you need to read and print the manual - but i can get this thing started in about 5mins so not too intensive!

amazing model, flies really nicely, great animations, sounds....

Wow, looks like they have some nice stuff coming out of that website, does it come with panel/vc?

I never cease to be surprised by the FS world.
What a find! Thanks for the pointer Hinch.
I can't wait for the TU 134.
The Russian FS scene is very active - they have a superb AI selection available too.

awesome panel - trust me you don't need a VC.

clever things like pressing the w key to minimise will take you to the navigators post!

i think pretty much evey switch is active. there are also callouts for engine online, v1, too slow, gear down etc.

if you ever used the frankly epic project tupolev (that comes with a stunning vc - soon with smooth gauges) or SCDSYak-40 (PMDG sort of - all systems £20) or the il-18 (nice panel) or the an-24 (still awesome) you'll love this - it's pretty simple to operate for a quick flight.

I highly recommend Samdim, his TU-114 in my opinion set a whole new level for freeware aircraft design. They are always well documented too which is important given how different the avionics often are from "western" aircraft.
