Hi Huub,
as you also seem to be interested by this plane I join something for you.
I f you will pick up the challenge LOL I can modify the original cockpits
into the version as used on this specific plane

Best regards

Michael

The only thing I promise is that I will take a look.

In June 2007 the Li-2 HA-LIX visited the DakotaFlyin at the Aviodrome in Lelystad. It was the first and the last time I ever saw a flying Lisonov Li-2. Sunflower was one of the main sponsors to get this aircraft back in flying condition. It now wears a historic Malev livery. As you can see the livery differs slightly from the one on the decals



And a picture from the cockpit, with the Boeing 747, which is on static display at the Aviodrome, in the backgroud.

Good evening Huub,

thank you for your answer.
Happy that the plane found your interest.
I have found a lot about the history of this particular plane.
So I have done my one repaint in the historic Malev colors (as good as I can).
The panel is finished I had to make some compromisses with the posibilities of flightsim and my knowledge.
But 2D panel and VC do match to gether. On one side I tried to keep as much from the original panel, on the other side to make it a bit less heavy I did delete the Astro and drift nav systems as not of use within our days.
I hope to make it possible to finish the pack as a stand alone aircraft to be released for eastern.
I made a control flight from Munich Riem to Budapest just using my old german rolling map (Cant use anymore the gps on my flightsime - oneor to minutes later crash to black screen and frozen fs) all went well. A bit work to controll the engines not overheat when climbing to 5000 meters. to cross the alps.. But for me more interesting than to Fly an airbus or boing from a point where I have nothing to do to another point where I have not more to do LOL

Best regards

Michael
