I spotted this on flightsim.com and gave it a go. Excellent modeling in the VC, by the way. Readme credits the model and textures to SWingman, 2D-gauges to Wishmaster with special thanks to Kirill Knovalov and Don Bodenstedt. The basic cockpit labeling is in Russian however replacement textures are available that change the labels to English. Well worth a look.
 
Didn't Obio do some of his fixin' for the FS9 version some time back or am I hallucinating again? :isadizzy:

Really ? That's good news. I will definitely give it a go then.
Thanks a lot for the info, Roger and Falcon :ernae:

I would really love to see the Yak-18T converted to native FSX too... It seems to be one of the most interesting models for FS9, but the engine gauges seem not to work properly in FSX, preventing a manual start from Cold and Dark...
 
Yet another superb production by Alex Pisarenko (SWingman), and as has been noted, like his FSX Ryan STA, the aircraft is built for/native to FSX. Can't wait to put some time on the aircraft when I get the first opportunity.

Yep, his VC work is first rate and the only thing I may upgrade is the exterior to a Hi-Res texture set. A very enjoyable trainer to sit in and fly, nice that it's a retractable and I'm assuming that the engine sounds are representative of the actual airplane.:salute:

Yep, not the normal type for me, but I really appreciate a well modeled VC and this one fit the bill. While it's slow for my taste, it is a joy to fly. Brian, do you fly "for" SWA or just fly "on" SWA, lol. I know a pilot who did fly for SW at one time, also named Brian.
 
Fantastic news!

Nice model, but seriously lacking rudder authority :isadizzy:

Yeah, tried to take off with cross wind and i met the trees in one side of the runway "very close".
But, i must say, excelent work by the developer, again! Thanks for that! :ernae:

I was doing a little background research on the Yak 18 "Max", and read that it did have poor rudder authority. Swingmans FS9 version has handling characteristics supported by someone who flew a Yak 18. I am sure this one is as authentic as possible too. The sound is good too. The engine sound was said to be reminiscent of a washing machine. This one sure does sound like it at low RPM (Chuga chuga).
