March 9, 201313 yr http://files.protu-154.net/ Russian panel so i was unable to fly it, but i managed to get 1 engine going. But if you can read russian ull have a blast with that one. Real nice VC too, and engineers panel also with a great deal of detail in the systems...from cold and dark to shutdown just llike the real thing PMDG style. Free ware Regards Luke M
March 10, 201313 yr Agreed, the TU154 is probably the best you can get, and IIRC it has an English manual. The gauges are in Russian, though, and use the metric system, so it may be a rather strange experience at first, but I think when you get the thing runnnig, you'll really enjoy it. You might also want to check out Simviation, they got a few quite nice Russkies, and if you like the really heavy ones, you could take Thomas Ruths AN124 and AN225. The only problems I got with those is that it feels like flying some GA plane, not like a heavy freighter, and that you have a strange combination of Cyrillic and Latin letters on the AP panel, so I (I actually learned Russian) sometimes catch myself thinking "What the f*** does that mean now?" If you like choppers, Virtavia have some Russian fighters and choppers, but I don't have any, except for their Black Shark, which is nice, but its FDE seem a bit strange to me. Also, don't forget that both Aerosoft and Sibwings got an AN2 "Colt" in the works(The SibWings bird looks a lot nicer IHMO, though.) and if memory serves, JustFlight have some Russian fighter under development.
