Classic British Flight Sim

Just out, over at Avsim, an Ilyushin IL-28 "Beagle"!!!! :yipeee:

Thanks Andy, always had a soft spot, ever since the Airfix kit came out! I think it was the gun turret that did it!

Thanks for the heads-up! Definitely a very overlooked plane in FS.

Maybe it is just me, but I noticed that my download didn't have any gauges or sounds. It seems that you need both of these from the SCS Tu-124.

Hi Mark,

The gauges are from the TU-124, but are not included, so you have to download that as well. It says so in the read-me and the PDF files. He also says that the sounds are not included, but you will have them anyway.... you do have Dave's Hunters, don't you?

Thanks Myles.

I guess this is a prime case of RTFM for me! :redface:

I aliased the sound to the Tu-124 (which I already had installed...maybe not entirely realistic, but I love those startup sounds), and already copied the gauges to my main FS gauge directory. All is well.

you do have Dave's Hunters, don't you?

Dave's Hunters, eh? Never heard of 'em. Are they any good?

It looks nice but unfortunately the nosewheel doesn't turn - or is it just me a la RTFM?.

Best wishes

nosewheel doesn't turn - or is it just me a la

I am guessing, as I gave up downloading this one, but Soviet aircraft normally just have a castering nose wheel. Without differential brakes, this may not animate. Also the nose (tail in DF) wheel lock may be on.....or it could be a fault in the model :roll:

Another new model of the Il-28 from the same author just popped up on Avsim. This time it's a T model...and with a pretty impressive VC, too (at least judging by the screenshots....d/l now...)

EDIT: Just played around with it a bit. I love the VC. The modeler states in the manual that it's a generic VC, and not a facsimile of a real 'Beagle' cockpit. Regardless, it looks nice and functions well....and everything is clickable.

Agreed, quite a nice VC - it must be hard emulating that panel in 3D so well. With some nicer exterior textures this could be a real winner.
