Two Russian Things

Thought that some here may not know about these. Both have been out for a while, but just in case....


1. SKJ Russian AI Traffic. These two files (parts 1 and 2) are aged a bit (mid-2000's) but if you like seeing Russian aircraft fly your skies, this is a good package. Currently in the real world most Russian airlines have switched to Western types exclusively, but this package shows these airlines in the mid-2000's, meaning that your skies will be full of Tu-134s, Il-86s, Tu-154s, Yaks, and the like. As some of these airlines flew outside of Russia too, you can have a chance of seeing the occasional Soviet-era jet in Western Europe (occasionally will see a Siberia Airlines Tu-154 in Frankfurt for example.)

Upon unzipping the files, they should be pretty self explanatory. (Designed for FS2004 but work fine in FSX).

Note: I opted against installing the sound files. Their touchdown sound is basically an explosion, and results in AI being heard landing from many miles away.

2. St. Petersburg Pulkovo Airport and surroundings. Originally designed for FS2004, the authors included FSX conversion files in the download so the scenery works perfectly in FSX!

Update:

The main files/folders to put in your addon scenery folder are located in the first zip download link...in the FS9 subfolder. (ULLL and ULLL.LC)
Then, copy the files from the update zip into the ULLL folder.
Finally, copy the files from the FSX folder in the original zip into the ULLL folder, and activate your scenery within FSX.

Voila, if installed correctly, you should have a brand new Pulkovo St.Petersburg Airport in FSX!
If using the above AI traffic, this airport will also be really full with Russian AI traffic!

This airport is only 60-odd nautical miles away from Helsinki, and also is a convenient access point for the Baltic states.


Just thought that some may appreciate one or both of these FS items. :)
