• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

A gorgeous update to the old Alphasim Tu-16 is now available at Avsim.su.
Brand new beautiful textures and new 2d and VC panel that is a big leap forward from the original it came with! Flys great too!

Thanks for the heads-up on this, much appreciated. Fantastic update the Alphasim model. Just wish they'd included an English version of the panel ;-)

Love all the repaints in this version! Also the inclusion of Kelt and Kingfish missiles on the wings of some. (I am curious about the Aeroflot liveried one. I do wish I could alias the VC from this into the Tu-104 that's out there!) The surface detail of the natural metal "77" is much improved and the VC is also better than before! I did have to tweak the [smoke effects] and [default view] though and have added a GPS unit. (Easier to travel between airshows that way!) I will have to work on the spoilers as opening the bomb bay doors pulls you right into the dirt!

Great find HorusJ. The Bear and and this Badger are the typical symbols of the Cold war for me.

Thanks,

I have to add that I'm using it in FSX and except for having to tweak the default view to avoid the black bar at the bottom it works just peachy.
