Pavel Karasek's LET C-11 (Yakovlev Yak-11).

Beautiful work, as always! Glad to see it's getting a lot of paints. I think I'll add to my Soviet collection with SteveB's paints. :applause:

Only one small suggestion, on 1960 Soviet livery, DOSAAF should be with two "A"

This looks like a really beautiful brute.

The real aircraft sounds awesome. What are you fellas doing for sound on this bird?
 
I have just uploaded the first four schemes, I have three more 99% done just an odd tweek here and there, and they will uploaded later tonight.

Have you listened to the sounds that came with it? I don't know if they're accurate but I don't really care cause they sound great.

Nigel, interestingly enough, the sounds that come with the download are for a Centarus engine, might even be the ones you did ... Mike ;)
 
Sounds.

If you've ever seen & heard one of these rorty buggers (to my ears) they sound like they've got a P&W R-1830 up the nose. I guess if you make a seven cylinder big enough, it sounds like a fourteen cylinder. Two of these Yaks flying at you wingtip to wingtip would sound very much like a later model DC-3/C-47.
 
Thanks Steve for the repaints, they look great! The repaints will add a lot more variety to choose from.
I like this little plane, been flying it around a bit.
Nigel, the sounds that came with it are from a Sea Fury's Centaurus.Somebody mentioned that it had a turbocharger whine in it as well. Don't know if that would be the right kind of sound for it. I'm using it until somebody comes up with a more appropriate soundset for it, haven't been able to find one for it yet.
There's vids of yak-11s on Youtube to listen to for comparision to this soundset, and if it doesn't sound similiar then perhaps it deserves a better soundset for it that would sound more like a yak-11.

There's one flying over here that has an actual R1830 in the nose. It's also been converted to a single-seater and called a 'Yak-3U' which it obviously isn't..

It's an interesting...muscular...looking aircraft. Very nice.

I've seen some repaints up already, @ Simviation, FSX/Vintage catagory. (They're good for FS9 too.)

The first page you're directed to in this link shows a B-24J that was Greece's first post-war airliner. It has the proper paint scheme applied to the aircraft, however, it uses the Alphasim B-24J as a model and it was not possible to remove the turrets/gunners. If it could be done this would be a real one-of-a-kind model for this bird as I've never heard of a B-24 airliner save for the C-87/C-109 variants, which were properly transports, not airliners. The file has documentation proving the aircraft did exist - in fact still does, as a relic or, more likely, derelict in Alaska. I'll bet it was a fantastic ride by that picture window in the waist.
