Soviet AI

[Deleted]

Where can I get flyable versions of the Soviet airliners in the Calclassic AI traffic set?

Best place to start is probably www.avsimrus.com/ .

Most aircraft of the era are available.

Thanks a lot, John!

There is a very excellent Tu-114 out there by Dimitri Samborski. It has the original 1959 texture for it. It comes complete with panel and sound, and I can't recommend it strong enough.

I must also reccomend the WSK-PZL Mielec (Antonov) AN-2T by Tim "Piglett" Conrad. There are other authors of them out there, but I fly this particular one, and it's good. Also, you can transfer the AI textures from the AI AN-2 I painted and put them in this folder and fly with them.

There are a couple versions of an IL-14 on AVSIM but in my personal opinion, both need decent panels and flight dynamics. So far, nobody has done any work to either of those. Ray Lopez made one, but I think the proportions are not right. W. Beckert has designed one, it looks good, but flies like a brick. Vladimir Zhyhulskiy has another one but I am not familiar with it.

As for the IL-18, there is a very excellent one here at il18.fluo.net/

My repaints for our AI fit it and you can fly it with those. I have also the Hang Khong Viet Nam textures for the latter 1960s People's Republic of Vietnam airliner. If you want those, email me and I will send them to you. The panel is in Cyrillic and all the gauges are metric. There is no instructions in English.

I really wish some kind soul would work on flight dynamics and a panel for an IL-14. It will a good thing to have for the new upcoming scenery (an entire country!).

You can also find Tu-104 and a Tu 124 at www.avsim.ru
