Russian Aircraft Gauges

SOH-CM-2023
I'm looking for Russian aircraft gauges that work with FSX. There are some very nice panels for the IL-62 & IL-76 developed for FS2004
that don't seem to work in FSX. The gauges are just missing on the panel. The primary gauge developed back in 2007 contains almost all instruments and really is excellent but is a no show in FSX. I've checked a number of US and Russian sites but don't see where these panels were ever updated for FSX using the original gauges. If there is anyone out there who has gone down this path already and knows of resources or a solution it would be much appreciated. (I have the TU-154 so I know of the instruments of that aircraft.)
thanks..
 
I'm going to assume you looked at the following page:

Other than that, you may find some help in the "domestic aviation" section of the Avsim.su forums here (linked to Google Translate version)

Overall, there are currently few Russian aircraft for FSX that are truly FSX-native. On that note though, in addition to the Tu-154B-2 (which I assume you are using Project Tupolev's latest version which I believe is on 1.2.1) I would also recommend checking out Kirill's IL-86 (linked below) which comes with a 2D panel for gauges that maybe could be salvaged/swapped.

In addition to that, the FSX-native Tu-144 version 3.5 has gauges that may be able to be salvaged as well:

In terms of an Il-62 and IL-76:
There are currently no IL-76s in progress for FSX that I know of.
Project Tupolev does have an IL-62 in progress, but they are stuck right now because they cannot find a volunteer to do textures for the VC, so I would not expect anything soon from them that's FSX compatible unless someone is willing to assist.

Thanks Sean for the information and links.
Its nice to hear that the "154" team has their distant sights on an IL-76. Its my rooting around for "76" useable gauges that
has had me looking thru all sorts of Russian aircraft, Il-18, Il-62, Il-86, 144's, 124s and 225s. There is something about the analog gauges and theire systems that has me hooked.
