Can anyone tell if the SD Yak-40 for FS9 will work or be made to work in FSX. I love this plane and it seems to have a great VC cockpit with it.

I'm going to say no on this one. Suprunov Design's website is gone, and the Yak 40 is no longer for sale on simMarket.

The designer perished in a glider accident over a year ago.

yes I heard that, now its for a free download on avsimru site. I heard that site was making it so that it would work in FSX but I was hoping maybe this one might work as it is.

That's a real shame. I'd love a good Yak for FSX.

Really? Where did you get that info from? At the time of Igor's death it was reported that his body had been found in a district of Moscow and that the cause of death was uncertain. Apparently there was no sign of violence. Very sad.

 

I'm not attacking you, just asking if you know something that I don't. So please don't take this post he wrong way. It's bad enough losing Igor without fighting over the cause of his death. I hope you understand.

Web news. I'm sorry if I have given wrong information, I follow english speaking, czech and finnish aviation/sim forums, the glider accident must have popped out in some of those forums. I did not know about the other, apparently more reliable information.

Nothing to apologise for. It's just as likely that my info is wrong. Guess we'll never really know for sure.

You may try stock version from http://yak40.except.pw/files/y40x_alpha2_full.zip, documentation http://yak40.except.pw/files/Flight Manual.pdf Also you may try version based on my version yak40 for FSX from community http://yak40.except.pw/files/MFSX-Yak-40_3-2.rar (not tested by me) And sorry if my english bad. This is not my native language. New version for FSX will be soon.

What a great loss. I had some talk with him a time back. Very nice guy!

Didn´t know that he was gone. Sorry for the offtopic!

Thanks for sharing those, I've been looking for a Yak 40 for FSX for ages, great to see someone finally managed to convert the one available for FS9 at Avsimrus for FSX...

 

I saw earlier when looking for the Yak-40 that the designer of original Yak-40 was found dead, it's really sad... :(

He was a very talented designer...

 

Glad this is available for FSX, even if it's a portover. I used to really enjoy this one in FS9

Thanks, this was one of my favorite airplanes for FS9.

 

Keep up the good work.

Yes. It's realy sad. We together made this plane. I'm as programmer, he as 3D modeller. I talk with his wife. We decided release this craft as freeware. I'm planing support this project and make it flyable in FSX and Prepar3D

Great news indeed. it was perhaps the best addon I remember from FS9 times. Also I bought mine from Simmarket from a sale "buy now, get FSX version free". So this is going to happen after all.
