Amazing detail on the cockpit. Is this a Yak-40? I wonder what the FSX version looks like!

Nice!

Is that a Thomas Ruth model? I downloaded his FSX An124 and An225 models last night. The details in that cockpit of yours looks fairly similar.

Sorry boys i had to shoot away......yes, its a Yak 40 from Suprunov. I had it for a while now....all their stuff is good value and very detailed.

Yak-40 was the revolutionary aircraft of its time and still remains unique in the world in many aspects.

â€¢It is first in the world regional jet.
â€¢It is the only trijet in the world with middle engine reverse. This design feature offers unique piloting technique of landing on short runways.
â€¢It has freedom to be boarded and started just everywhere having build-in retractable stairs and auxiliary power unit. It can be used on dirty airfields equipped with nothing of ground services.
â€¢Thanks to its â€œRussian metalâ€ style of airframe and gear it has no problems with any class of airport.

Ian, there is a thing that comes with it to covert the gauges to english......lots of repaints as well.

I've never bought this one, nervous of the Russian flightdeck.
(Gave up on the Tu-154)
But if there's a bit of English available there, might give it a go yet.
Thanks for the screens Marty, it does look rather good.

You do get used to them, a real case of read the manual... And, if you're so inclined - Harvey Norman sell a "Lets Learn Russian" DVD

Once you get the hang of everything being metric and using percentages as performance values, everything else falls into place

Nice screenshots. A/c looks nice although from what I can gather the a/c type has crashed a few times?
