Thanks Andy, always had a soft spot, ever since the Airfix kit came out! I think it was the gun turret that did it! :dunno:

Thanks for the heads-up! Definitely a very overlooked plane in FS.

Maybe it is just me, but I noticed that my download didn't have any gauges or sounds. It seems that you need both of these from the SCS Tu-124.

Hi Mark,

The gauges are from the TU-124, but are not included, so you have to download that as well. It says so in the read-me and the PDF files. He also says that the sounds are not included, but you will have them anyway.... you do have Dave's Hunters, don't you? :thumbsup:

Thanks Myles.

I guess this is a prime case of RTFM for me! :redface:

I aliased the sound to the Tu-124 (which I already had installed...maybe not entirely realistic, but I love those startup sounds), and already copied the gauges to my main FS gauge directory. All is well.

Dave's Hunters, eh? Never heard of 'em. Are they any good? :lol: :lol:

It looks nice but unfortunately the nosewheel doesn't turn - or is it just me a la RTFM?.

Best wishes

I am guessing, as I gave up downloading this one, but Soviet aircraft normally just have a castering nose wheel. Without differential brakes, this may not animate. Also the nose (tail in DF) wheel lock may be on.....or it could be a fault in the model :roll: :lol:

Another new model of the Il-28 from the same author just popped up on Avsim. This time it's a T model...and with a pretty impressive VC, too (at least judging by the screenshots....d/l now...)

ilyushin_il-28t.zip

EDIT: Just played around with it a bit. I love the VC. The modeler states in the manual that it's a generic VC, and not a facsimile of a real 'Beagle' cockpit. Regardless, it looks nice and functions well....and everything is clickable.

Agreed, quite a nice VC - it must be hard emulating that panel in 3D so well. With some nicer exterior textures this could be a real winner.
