What if Russian developped L-29-600 upgrade program, featuring a zero timed airframe, up to date GLONASS navigation & avionics, COIN/CAS capability, here shown as a demonstrator with VVS markings.

I have been working on further refinements on the L-29,

-Refined flight dynamics, now behaves closer of reality and can be flown by the numbers
-All new 32 bit paintkit/layering, so it is a bit less blurry and more accurate than my previous version.
-3D cockpit layout, with accurate gauges

I'm planning one or two livery as this is going to focus on VC and dynamics.

Progressing on the livery. I worked on 2048x2048 with mip active, so it might work & display much better in FSX.

Thank you !

the first livery being completed, represents an airframe belonging to ukrainian Korotich Aeroclub ca 2010.
I'm moving on airfile & custom sound closer to real L-29.
This jet sounds loud at high rpm and whistles at idle, according to videos available.
It is also seriously underpowered, this will feel on take off performances and will cruise at approx 250-270 kts around 90/95% of N1.
It has a lot of inertia and will quickly speed up in a dive, with acceleration decreasing around 400 kts as it is straight winged with a thick airfoil.

I really like the design of the OK-02 scheme. It goes very well with the lines of the plane. I like your depiction of the faded fluorescent paint on the T-Bird as well.

Thanks Josh,
I did the OK-02 scheme a while ago, so I may update it to the new paintkit standard.
If you're willing to fly this livery while waiting mine, Kendy Schwartz did it in a really nice way, available here : http://www.flightsimulator.cz/addon/l29-delfin-ok-02-repaint-fs2004-fsx/

Really nice! Beautiful livery, but also the L-29 remains a time-less model.

I'm a big fan of this classic jet, the design was the first czechoslovakia original jet design and it did really well.
Piglet's model start showing it's age, especially the VC, but now can be flown by the numbers with almost exact fuel burn (accurate from 0 to 15 000ft)
Cross country must be planned carefully and it reflects well the 50 min training flight at low altitude profile with 20min final reserve. Monitor your fuel gauge and keep in mind 300 liters final reserve will give you 20-25 minutes before it run dry.
I also reworked the sound file which now is close to the real thing, apart fs9 limitations. Will be released within days.

It is also very suitable for formation flying training & practice.

Here is a shot I did using fsrecorder.
2 L-29 ship, still have to practice to get the "perfect heart"
Entry speed, 320kts minimum, line astern, below that you can't properly "refine" the top of the heart cause you get too early in a nose high low energy state.

Thanks l'iguane,

and to confirm the old liveries are fully compatible:

Talking about old liveries, perhaps you could redo the Sky Knights livery. The livery by Tim "Piglet" Conrad is nice, but could benefit from your new paintkit as well.

It's on the plan !
After the SkyKnights disbanded, the airframes went to AviKoc (Cosmonaut training I guess) based at Kubinka but kept their original paintscheme with company logo overpainted.
I'll probably cover the two period !
