Yak-18 BETA.....you need to see it to believe it!

The engine will not stay running with throttle pulled all the way back. To fix this, copy this line and paste it in place in the aircraft.cfg file's GeneralEngineDate section:
min_throttle_limit = 0.100000

I'd rather keep this feature:
The A2A Jug's Double Wasp doesn't like too low RPMs either (below 1000 IIRC, otherwise the spark plugs will foul), and it isn't hard to imagine that a small 5 cylinder radial like this also needs some drive to keep running...

The cowl really looks ridiculous, but hey:
Who says that all Russian aircraft are pretty ones? :icon_lol:

I get the occasional blurry picture - there are some blogs/forums on the subject, but I think it can depend upon your graphics card & driver too.

Ian, I had also probs first time with the textures. Simply rework them with "DXT BMP". Open and save them as DXT3 again (My solution)

What about this one?

Still going strong today!
Note the obviously simplified LSK insignia (without hammer and compass, maybe to avoid any unappropriate GDR nostalgia?).

Those nasty blurries may vanish by eliminating MipMaps via DXTBMP (just uncheck and save again).

Cheers,
Markus.
 
The Tu-95 and the Tu-142 were both "Powerfully Graceful" aside the fact that they still retained the "sinister" Cold War look of Russian Aircraft. The Tu-144 (posted by Hurricane91) was used by Nikkita Kruschiev while he was Premier of Russia. He had one especially set aside for traveling from place to place.

In very early years of LSK, it was only the diamond. National insignia of the hammer and compass was added to it later. At least, this is what I have read. :)

It's a great looking model, very detailed. Simple to fly and it's a lot of fun. It's a welcomed addition to my USSR collection.

Also to prior discussion, the Tu-114 is to me one of the most beautiful airliners ever made. I think it's in the same level as Constellation and other classic airliners. In late 60's it operated joint Japan Air Lines and Aeroflot for Moscow-Tokyo route, so for this it's well remembered here, the impressive airliner from Russia.

Youre right Lazerbeak. As far as I know the LSK had a few versions of insignias. Must be four or five ?
 
It seems that yak is bit too slow it should cruise at 205 km/h and at maximum power it should go around 250, while i go about 170 km/h. Could some smart person help me?

The above specs are true for the Yak-18A and later, which were up engined to 9-cylinder radials M-14 variants. This is the original Yak-18, powered by a 160hp 5-cylinder M-11 radial. This first Yak-18 was a fair bit slower than the later models. Swingman based his flight dynamics to match the performance of the original 18. He was received positive feed back from a fella who flew the original Yak-18 back in the late 40s and early 50s who said that the sim Yak-18 was very close to the performance of the real Yak-18.
