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

[BigBird]

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.

suprunov design?

Details Marty, details ..... PLEASE

[Splitpin]

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.

•It is first in the world regional jet.
•It is the only trijet in the world with middle engine reverse. This design feature offers unique piloting technique of landing on short runways.
•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.
•Thanks to its “Russian metalâ€￾ style of airframe and gear it has no problems with any class of airport.

I did not buy this one , could not understand the Russian Gauge , I am still waiting for the Suprunov VC for the Vampire but this model did get raving reports

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

I will be very interested , have many incoming - B-52 but moment would use my bigger CS727 to fill the gap .

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?
