Why I'm addicted to the Russian classics :)

OK, I think you've gathered by now that as well as all the British classics, I also have a very soft spot for some classics produced by our Russian fellow simmers.
Can't really put my finger on why, but sheer immersion has something to do with it.
This video might help to answer the question.
Those engine sounds put a shiver up my spine!

I agree John, it's just the language barrier that bothers me, and it seems a complex aircraft. But the sounds are stunning.

That's a very impressive video, John. I'd love to get into that Russian stuff (not in real life, you understand
). Perhaps the next time I retire, I'll have some spare time!
Thanks for telling us about the video, it's quite remarkable and certainly proves your point about how good those Russian models are.

Cheers John
Nothing wrong in appreciating a bit of soviet heavy metal
Hmm...
half time
jumpers for outer markers
glass noses
oddly folding main undercarriage
isn't it...
They certainly brought some variety to UK airports of the 70's and 80's.

Great video! :-)
I downloaded that plane some months ago, but I've never got round to using it :redface:
