Classic British Flight Sim

I have always wanted to fly this beast, but for some reason, there only seemed to be mostly traffic models available.

Some attempts were made to put flyable models, panels and gauges together but the Russian developers did not make it easy to sort out the various bits and pieces and put them together.

Found this one on Avsim RUs. The readme file contans a link to the panel.

No VC, but I'm not a big VC fan anyway.

Experience with the other major Russian FS aircraft (Tu-154, Tu-134, etc.) certainly helps.

No English documentation so far.

Manged to get most of the functions to work but still playing with it. Handles like it should (big and heavy) and excellent Soloviev engine sounds are included in the panel download.

You can get a few FIAT 500s in there John

Looks the part but I have trouble enough when things are in English

Thanks for the HU

Definitely, Garry. It would probably be dwarfed by one of the tyres.!

It looks like it's prepared to protect it's cargo too with those twin machine guns in the tail!

Radar-directed twin 23 mm cannon I believe.

The turret was manned though.

There are 7 related files I am slowly getting translated one of which seems to be a visual model update, another a paintkit, it's a struggle all this cryllic nonsense. lol

edit 4 of them seem to be additional textures.

Not somethin' you want to be rushin' into

Iv tryed downloading it and it wont work. So I tryed signing up and its not letting me.

No need to sign up for anything, to d/l there is a button on the green strip (bottom right) click that and it takes you tyo a new page and then the choice is to d/l via HTTP or Torrent. Choose HTTP which is the regular way.

That's at least twice you've made me chuckle today Garry.
