By the way to all
the link John posted is in russian and after doing a search
.....(of course you know that by now)
on google I couldn't find a "translate page" link
after looking about a bit I found this translator.
If you come across a site and have a problem translating,.... try this
http://www.online-translator.com/srvurl.asp?lang=en
just paste the url of the site and find the translation
your looking for from the list
Hope it helps

Thanks Eddie. I have half a mind to try and paint up this model as the Balkan Holidays one. Perhaps if you book yourself a holiday in Plovdiv or Bourgas, you might get to fly on the real thing, given you arein the right part of the country?

was wondering about in what year do you remember
your first FS experience.
Hello Joe.
Thanks very much for the translation site. Works very well on a couple I tried.
Not really sure, but it must have been the hearly '80s
I remember a very basic IBM PC (no hard disk and 4 colours on the monitor).
Program was on one large floppy and was copy protected!
I was hooked, and I have been simming uninterrupted ever since. (Sad?)
Still have it! Manual cover looks like this.
The actual graphics were much worse than the cover.

Funny you should mention going on holiday. We are off to Crete tommorrow. Hoo-ray! :dance:
Would love to fly on the 154 to Bulgaria. Sadly they are becoming rarer at EGCC now. Instead Balkan use their A320's. :sad:
