Yakovlev Yak-9D Unit: 163 IAP, 336 IAD Baltic front 1944 Pilot: Anatoly Sergeevich Morozov The Yakovlev Yak-9 was a development of the robust and successful Yak-7B fighter, which was based in turn on the tandem-seat advanced trainer known as the Yak-7UTI. It was the first Yak fighter to have lighter metal structure that allowed for an increased fuel load and armament over previous models built only of wood. It was highly maneuverable at high speeds at low and medium altitudes and was also easy to control, qualities that allowed it to be the most produced Soviet fighter of World War II. The Yak-9 series was produced in different variants including the long-range Yak-9D and the Yak-9DD with additional wing fuel tanks to escort bombers over Eastern Europe; the Yak-9T with a 37 mm cannon; the "large-caliber" Yak-9K with a 45 mm cannon, which was used for antitank operations; the fighter-bomber Yak-9B with an internal bomb bay behind cockpit capable of carrying up 880 lb of bombs; and the Yak-9U with a more powerful engine and improved aerodynamics. The Yak-9 remained in production from 1942 to 1948, with 16,769 built, of which 14,579 were built during the war. The Yak-9D had the fuel capacity increased from 120 to 170 US gallons, giving a maximum range of 870 miles, but its combat usefulness at full range was limited by a lack of radio navigation equipment. Most were used as short-range fighters with fuel carried only in the inner wing tanks. Armament was one 20 mm ShVAK cannon with 120 rounds and one 12.7 mm UBS machine gun with 240 rounds The powerplant was a Klimov VK-105 V-12 liquid-cooled piston engine, providing 1,210 hp. Maximum speed was 385 mph at 19,400 feet. The Yak-9D was produced between March 1943 and June 1946, with a production total of 3,058 aircraft.

Yakovlev Yak-7b Unit: 29 GvIAP Leningrad front, 1943 Pilot: Major A.V.Chirkov eventual 29 victories The Yakovlev Yak-7 was developed from the earlier Yak-1 fighter. It was initially intended as a two seat type conversion trainer. As it incorporated a number of design improvements over the Yak- 1 it was soon realized that it would make a better fighter than the Yak-1. The rear seat was removed and the rear canopy was faired over. The Yak-7 proved to be a capable aircraft. The Yak-7a was put into production with more improvements: Two ShKAS on the cowling had been replaced by two 12.7 mm (0.50 in) UBS machine guns with 400 rounds (260 for the left and 160 for the right). It was powered by an M-105PA engine with an axial ShVAK cannon with 120 rounds. Oil and glycol radiators were refined, the tail wheel was made retractable; joints and skin were more carefully made; panels on engine cowling fitted better; the propeller reduction gear worked better; an electro-pneumatic reloading system was installed; canopy frame was reinforced. It entered service in My 1942. The Klimov M-105PA was found to be slightly under-powered. In the Yak-7B, it was replaced with the M-105PF engine having an additional 130hp, making it faster and more maneuverable. Generally liked by its pilots, it was then on a par perfomance wise with the Bf109G-2 and Focke Wolf Fw190A at altitudes below 15,000 feet. The definitive single-seat variant was the Yak-7B, which was produced in large numbers - approximately 5,000. A note on the strange green camouflage color: The giant manufacturing complex, Zavod 156 Novosibirsk, producing the Yak Fighters had been manufacturing farm equipment prior to mobilization. All the manfactured farm machinery was painted with this "tractor" green. Due to the confusion and chaos caused by the German invasion, the paint meant for tractors was the only green color available in 1941/1943. And so it was used on the Yak-1 and Yak-7 fighters. Apparently bomb rack and rocket racks were not interchangeable in the field. Universal armament was: 1 x 20 mm ShVAK cannon, nose-mounted 2 x UBS 12.7mm machine guns, nose-mounted Credits Captain Kurt: Aircraft model, VC, paint textures, aircraft flight files, and .dp 2D Panel: Morton with permission to modify Kelticheart: Prop blurred texture Gauges: Most are by Morton for the Br Yak-9U Bombs, rockets, and racks are from Ivan Hsu's I-16 series

FSX/FS2004 Pilotable racing schooner Atlantic. This huge three masted schooner with a total length of sixty nine meters was launched in New York in 1903. The vessel carried 1.720 square meter of sails and additionally it was equipped with a powerful but very heavy steam engine with 400 HP, which allowed seventeen knots. In 1905 "Atlantic" won a transatlantic race in only twelve days. It took hundred years to beat this record for single hull sailing ships. The new record was made by the high tech light weight racing yacht Mari-Cha IV. During WWI "Atlantic" served as supply vessel for submarines and during WWII as training vessel for the US coast guard. The original "Atlantic" was scrapped in 1982 whilst the new replic was launched in 2008. My model is very detailed and offers some special animations. The angle on the Z-axis can be increased in three steps by using Flaps and four configurations of sails can be set. In FSX twenty camera views provide decks- and mast views. Additionally there is an AI-version included. FSDS-model, animations and cameras by Erwin Welker.

This is my second update for FSX of the FSD T-38 TALON. I just gave it a better 2D panel background. I took the picture from an L29 aircraft panel and cleaned all the clutter off it. Then I had to reposition the gauges on it. I was able to put almost all the gauges on this panel as were on the other update I just uploaded. I am leaving the 16x9 panel there and only the first aircraft has the new panel. If you want to use it for all the paints, remove anything that is after the panel= for that paint. The reason I am uploading this is because of how much easier I found to land the aircraft with this 2D panel.

MSN 742 was built in 2006 and flight tested as F-WWYF. Delivered to Turkish Airlines in May 2006 as TC-JNC, she wore the standard colour scheme for the fleet. Renamed Kishimoto, she was repainted in this retro scheme in October 2015, and she continues to wear this scheme to this day. Painted on to Tom Ruth's superb A330-200 model, this repaint shows TC-JNC as seen in early 2025.

This is an update For FSX of the FSD T-38 TALON. I have changed and/or added some gauges to the 2D panel; given it an air file, not a partial one; added afterburner effects; removed one of the smoke effects so there is only the one centre one; corrected the position of the contact points; and updated the flight dynamics.

This is an update for FSX of the F-16C by Kirk Olesson. It includes all 6 paints of the Thunderbirds. I found textures for T-bird #5 that had the left side 5 correct and used it along with the other 5 textures. I changed the afterburner effects; gave it a different panel; and updated the flight dynamics. Warning: if you already have a Thunderbird paint in your airplanes folder you may have to choose between this update and what you already have.
