Cannot agree more with Matt has said, she is indeed a wonderful aircraft
.
I have only found one small 'error' (at this price, it is something we can all live with
) Shift+E+2 causes the ramp to remove itself:isadizzy: and wedge itself under the aircraft! I was looking to see if there may have been another door animation that would make the ramp lower to the para drop position (which I do not think there is) when it happened. She handles like a lighter C-130 and will be much in use on my PC from now on!

I think Shift+E+1 lowers the ramp normally, Shift+E+2 stows it under the fuselage and Shift+E+3 opens the crew door. You can't use 1 & 2 together or it goes mad.

Direct from the readme....
The rear ramp operates in two modes:
SHF e operates the ramp as normal,i.e, it hinges up/down
SHF e 2 stows the ramp under the aft fuselage.
Just use one or the other, otherwise it will look goofy, and I don't want a bunch of e-mails saying "it's broken!"
SHF e 3 opens the forward crew door, on the right side, just aft of the cockpit.

Might just be me but is anyone having snags getting the undercarriage back down? It only seems to lower within certain limits but I generally seem to be exceeding them.
At one point I'd circled Dhaka International about four times trying to get them to lower (using g and the VC lever) so decided to dump fuel and go for a gear up landing. After dumping too much fuel I end up doing a dead stick gear up approach! Swapping to the external view in the last few seconds to check my height I see the gear finally starting to deploy, just managed to extend the flare enough for them to lock down before hit the deck!!
Great fun but I'd like to at least try a conventional approach!

Ahh, in answer to my earlier question 100kts is the magic number for lowering the gear, obviously my approaches were a bit sporty...

it's a soviet ship and well, you know about the problems they sometimes have with technology
