New Yak-15 by Rob Koval

[alain0568]

Hello everyone,

-Again, Rob Koval offers us a new machine for FSX, a Yak 15!
Once again a very beautiful achievement, which we found on simviation! (Yakovlev-Yak-15.zip)


Thanks Rob!
-Rob, could you consider creating a Petliakov Pe-2, it is missing in FSX!
Kind regards

Alain

Very nice modelling of an unusual early jet aircraft, great work by Rob!

Yes very impressive, thank you Rob! It's really great to discover highly interesting aircrafts still developped brand new for FSX, so rare these days... The story of this Soviet propeller plane fitted with a German jet engine is fascinating...

Polish AF repaint (botched job, sorry) by me... with clearer gun sight in VC (personnal preference).

This was my inspiration for the Polish AF Yak-15 repaint... It's actually a Yakovlev Yak-23 (or Jakowlew Jak-23). The Polish Aviation Museum in Krakow has restored one it seems... Similar to the Yak-15 but with a RR Derwent British jet engine, and a nose wheel (clever, no more burning tail wheel!). Too bad my repainting skills are so lousy...

There is a rather native FSX Yak-23 over at Simviation, Itosan's nice FS9 model dragged kicking & screaming into FSX by Michael Pook. It also has some cracking skins prepared by the incomparable L'Iguane which, I think, includes that Polish scheme.

The man added quite a few other planes, amongst which, an F-80! https://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=rob+koval
