AvHistory 1% Aircraft General Statement and Installation Instructions
It is the intention of the AvHistory 1% project to over time build the most accurate aircraft that the CFS3 software can support. The development of a 1% aircraft requires specific and in many cases dramatic changes to the aircraft delivered with the MS game as well as the addition of aircraft built from the ground up by third parties which were never included in the original MS game. We believe that because the AvHistory 1% aircraft are materially different they should not be mixed with "box stock" aircraft in online combat.
All the planes 1% listed for download are qualified for use in our AvHistory William Tell Meet Air Combat Ladder. For information and to get the sign up sheet for the ladder please go to the LINKS section at http://www.avhistory.org
No AvHistory 1% aircraft maybe provided for download from any site without express written consent of AvHistory. No skins for AvHistory aircraft, other then those based on stock MS CFS3 visuals, maybe offered for download with our written permission.

Yak9-K85 - Krupnokaliberny
CFS3 - V2.85.06
This aircrafts visual was built by Ed "GROUNDHOG" Wilson. Gregory "SARGE" Pierson using version V2.85.06 of the AvHistory 1% Assembly Line process developed the flight model. Please take some time to view Ed's readme with has some additional infomation on this plane.
Ed painted the plane in the livery of Guard Captain Vyetrov Ivan Ivannovitch, he was commander of 1. AE, 66. GIAP, 4. GIAD in May 1944, when the unit was in Anichovo airfield near the Balt front. He flew 117 missions, participated in 32 air battles and achieved 12 kills.
Among the family of the Yakovlev fighters, the Yak-9K models stand alone. Designed quite literally as 'flying artillery'. The NS-37 cannon mounted by the -9T in fact fired the very same 37mm shell as the wheel-and-carriage mounted infantry anti-tank gun of the same caliber used by the Red Army until 1943.
This fearsome weapon could penetrate a 30mm plate of face hardened steel mounted at 45 deg. from 500 meters; it could penetrate 45mm of armor at a 90 deg. angle. Fired from above--as aircraft were of course want to do--no vehicle in the German inventory was safe from such attack.
Later, quantities of the Yak-9K were produced, this carrying the even bigger 45mm NS-45 cannon. The larger gun was requested by units at the front, noting the heavier armor protection of tanks like the Tiger II.
A total of 53 machines were manufactured which were tested in field for two months in the autumn 1944 and winter 1945. 51 air combats resulted in 12 enemy fighters downed at loss of one Yak-9K. But unreliable cannon prevented its mass production.
