Absolutely. Russian simmers also seem to have the knack of making their scenery look very believeable and realistic. Must be the textures the use.

Mostly off http://www.avsim.ru

But this is a good place to start.

Still amazes me how they can manage to get all that detail with very little impact on frame rates!

That's Russia for you. On the outside they seem poor and the underdogs, but internally they have great technology and ideas. They always reminded me of the kids in school who got picked on, but their potential was great. Thanks for the links.

Adobe/Tantris does a great job with the Russians. I can also confirm minimal frame-rate impact with this AI package.

Well that wass well needed! Russia is one of those places in FS that i want to fly into (evn if the ATC contorllers are not correct etc etc) but the AI traffic types and lack of Scenery put me off.

Those russians look superb!

They really do look like the models you would download and fly.

That's just default FS9.1 Andy and it compares pretty well with Google Earth in my opinon and I'm content with it:-

In case you were interested in some Russian "small field" scenery.

I had the Tantris -package installed for a brief period of time, but ditched it, as it delivered several military traffic in EKCH....I must admit, that I never in real life have seen any F16's at the Domestic gates.....

So if you want to fill the sky with traffic I think it is indeed good, but if you are looking for more or less realistic traffic it doesn't suffy...

The quality of PAI's flight schedules are much more accurate for my likes, but then again, I could be wrong in parts of the world I don't frequently visit.

Just my opinion..

I may be wrong, which is very possibly the case, but isn't it down to the afcad to decide which aircraft go where? You see I am not 100% sure how the whole AI thing works. It's just been there, so I have taken it for granted. Feel free to correct or educate!
