    Default My Latest Favorite...Definately For Prop-Lovers!

    [center]
    Hi guys! :-wave

    I hope you've all been doing well, been busy here as usual. I have found a little time to play around with my new favorite toy though!

    This is the Ilyushin IL-18D made by Zbynek Pavlon and Dmitry Shevtsov. The IL-18 must be an incredibly hard plane to model correctly, and my admiration goes out to all who have tried. This one, I have to say, is superb. You can get it here:

    http://il.fluo.net

    It comes with sound and panel with VC too. It has automatic call outs for V speeds, etc. There was only one problem with it for me...All the instruments and documentation are in Russian, so how to fly this thing? I went shopping for a new panel to see if there were any Western panels that worked, but not much luck yet. However, until I find one that works AND kinda matches the plane, I found that the default 747 panel works perfectly well! Now at least I can fly it, and it looks just great. I'm still trying to figure out some operational speeds, and I'm getting close to getting those just right. All in all, a Classic Russian beauty!

    I hope you enjoy these shots of two of the paint schemes that come with the model!

    Take Care! :-wave

    Thanks Guys! :D Yes she is a beauty!

    Leo-- You are absolutely correct...it DOES kinda remind me of the YS in that is has an unique nose and sexy nacelles!

    Dwayne--This is the plane you used for that post? Does the 2002 cockit work well? Is it in English? And yes, I remember the post! I had to look the quote up again and here it is:

    "The IL-18 is like a beautiful woman from Siberia, sleek fuselage, elegantly powerful, incredibly good looking, but smokes too much!"

    ( From the book "Russian Propliners and Jetliners" by Colin Ballantine, as described to the author by an Aeroflot pilot.)

    I'm going to have some fun with this one!

    Thanks Again all!

    Chuck
