Nice one Roger. How many times that must have happened in real life during the Cold War

Did here a story of a pair of Lightnings sitting on a Bear, one calls the other and says "Gonna need fuel soon" and a thick Russian accent breaks through on the frequency and gives them the Lat/Long of the Victor

Hi Chaps,

I remember a photo taken of the rear gunner in one of these Bear's holding up a copy of the Playboy magazine at the window during the cold war.

Russia had some great aircraft but this Tu-95 was my favorite.

Cheers,

Roger.

Hi thomasburnside,

I have not been asked before of my opinion of a sim aircraft so i can only say

i find no problems and IMHO a great model seeing it was released back in 2005.

Just a reminder that its for FS9,

Cheers,

Roger.

There used to be 2 different packs Tom if I remember right. Pack 1 contained the single seaters and pack 2, the twins. Not bad models when they came out and still do the job now

Thanks guys I think Virtavia might be releasing it as freeware I cant find it at the moment.

Try this Tom.. http://www.virtavia.com/Freeware/index.php . Not sure what's on there but it's now the only active link I can find.

EDIT: The Lightning on there is the FS02 model. I wouldn't bother with that if I were you.

Funnily enough, I was looking for their F-4 yesterday, and that's all I could find. Bit more digging, I found all the F-4 packs available for download at Simviation.

Found textures for the Lightning there too but not the model.
