• 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.

Antonov An-72



Coanta-effect cargo plane. The only production jet using this effect to increase the wings' bearing.
The model is fully animated, including complex flaps deployment, spoilers, slats, gears, thrust reversers and the entry door with deploying ladder. It innovates introducing the Antonov's patented cargo door that can either pivot (making a ramp) or slide beneath the fuselage. In this model, the door pivots when the aircraft is on ground and slides when it's airborne.
This model with several repaints is also included into UNNT scenery package.

Antonov An-148



The latest Antonov's aircraft is now brought to flightsim ! This regional twinjet made her maiden flight in 2005 and was quickly acquired by several companies; Kras Air was the first to command 15 aircraft.
Antonov An-148 can carry 70 to 100 passengers up to 3600-5000 km (and even 8700 km in some versions) at 750-850km/h "in a comfort of a longhaul jet" (stays the official communiqué). It's brand new and a bit futuristic - in this aspect it stands apart from our main modelling stream - the Soviet Classic Series.
The model and the panel are quite simple, yet fairly detailed and extremely framerate friendly. There are some funny custom animations though, like sunshields descending on the sunny side of the plane, doors that half-close when the aircraft moves, context-dependent spoilers etc - in addition to the classical animations set concerning the control surfaces, landing gears and flaps.
The panel is based on the default MSFS logics but the multi-functional displays have been deeply reworked and enriched with some useful information (radio altitude, ground speed). Some gauges are completely new, like the universal radio set. Unlike in our latest packages, you don't have to learn cyrillic alphabet to understand the panel. All the measures are however expressed in metric system (km/h, km, m/s)
