Found this thing lurking around a Russian naval base on the Caspian Sea. The "Ekranoplan". I think it's a neat design. Does anybody know if one exists for FS9 ??

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

i think that russia had some interesting technological approaches to some problems. the caspian sea monster being one of those. if they ever had a mind to use them, while they were current, they would have been extremely effective.

Yah- LUN class Ekranoplan. The AI FSX model is avalable as a piloted conversion at simviation. The Alpha LUN is nice, though its the SSM armed(SILEX? SUNBURN?) version, with a few repaints at AVSIM ( Hi-Vis JMSDF!). The A-90 Eaglet by Alpha(Free!) is very nice, swing nose and ramp. Just the thing for a Spetznatz raid. I miss not having one in FSXIf you play one of the FSX's missions (called Tokyo executive or something) you get to chase one of those things in sea
Or if you want to own the real thing....

I always wonder when I go to look for this site if they are still going to be in business. It does say "1999-2009 ...10th Anniversary!", so I guess they are doing something these days.

We still really need the "KM" Ekranoplan. That was the biggest and most awesome.
