Hey, no one is talking about this!!! 😉 So just a heads up! It's on their website for $20 US. Here is a thread where we talk about it in the MSFS forum. I really think you guys should take a look, it's a pretty awesome release - I was really pleasantly surprised after not really being a big fan of their Aerolite 103.

New Release: Yakovlev Yak-18T by Nemeth Designs - Third Party Addon Discussion / Aircraft - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

i am waiting for some reviews.

I might get it wish it did have a GPS/autopilot.  I've read that some people are glad it doesn't have a GPS.

yep, i am SO GLAD it doesnt have one 🙂

Eh... I like GPS as much as the next guy, but something about an old Russian aircraft flying with Garmins seems VERY wrong to me. Maybe it's because I am Russian and grew up in the old Soviet Union in the 80s... Even the airliners then didn't have GPS. Those really came with the new Tupolev tubes, but the old 134, 154, 144?? No. Not in a million years. And it somehow would feel wicked strange to have one modeled with Garmins.

Different. Value. Worth. Having.

Or with more than five words...

But that's only if you want something different. Keep in mind that I am a bit biased too; the 18T has always been one of my favourite aeroplanes and I'm a big fan of Russkie aeroplanes anyway. Of those, the Yak 18T is special in being a good-looking aeroplane with similarly pleasant handling characteristics. It can also take a lot of Gs, which makes it fun to throw around; essentially it's a bit like a passenger cabin version of all those dinky little Yak 55s and 52s etc, even having the same engine, although not of course the same power to weight ratio, so you're not going to be winning the world aerobatic championships with one.

The real things are built like tanks, which inspires confidence, and the M14P engine found on most of them is pretty much bulletproof. It's still in production as well, albeit in a modernised form with some redesigned tailfeathers to make it look a bit more contemporary, and they're pretty cheap in real life too; you can get a fully-refurbished one for about 80K.

But if you are considering getting it, keep in mind it is not a rocket-ship, it's a solid touring aeroplane/trainer with a decent passenger capacity and the novelty of being aerobatically capable.

Yep, once you have a GPS and AP there is really nothing to do except switch tanks occasionally for a few hours till you land at the other end.

I do like that little aerolite thing they made now they fixed it a bit and got rid of the imaginary RG that made it sink into the ground (it still has some minor glitches but all cosmetic now) be interested to see what people think of this one.

That sounds quite similar to the P.149 (apart from the affordable IRL bit) ?

Yup, that's about the size of it.

Do seem in the same class, both Aerobatic rated single engine trainers  - Yak is slightly heavier, has more seats, 100 or so more HP and just on 700 Built instead of 300 odd for the P149. Neither are likely to be common in the US.

Looks great... wish somebody would produce a Yak-52 though....something that is fairly common in our local skies.  Maybe another project for Nemeth?

Eagerly awaiting your review @Chock. 🙂

*Edit: no worries, bought it anyway. 😂
