New Release: Yakovlev Yak-18T by Nemeth Designs (v1.03 Aug 27)

I was thinking of getting this but after seeing the problems it has with downloads and knowing that the Aeorlite situation could happen again with this I think am gonna stay far away from this for now.

Ok, but why You turn magnetos to 0 at the end? Propeller is spinning…

Yeah, I am not sure why you switch the magnetos off. That will kill the engine again.

Here is the video of someone’s correct startup in real plane:

my sim startup is all the same

This might be some conflict. L-19 has nearly the same course system as I see, does it work?

Edit.
Stop, You’ve made the video with Piaggio p.149, have You? But now its problem with L-19… something misunderstood )
Upper question is for Piaggio p.149 course system and question is found - it doesn’t

I just did a test for curiosity’s sake trying to take off in Yak-18 (version 1.0) from KEYW which is currently in Tropical Storm Elsa. I have 49 knot winds and yeah… on takeoff it noses over. :wink: No issues starting from cold and dark though… Process: every switch on, pneumatic on, prop 100%, cowl flaps full, prime both, switch magnetos from 2 back to off then back to 2, press start.

49 knots is a twice of crosswind operation for this aircraft :upside_down_face:

Yeah, I didn’t expect anything good to come of it… I barely got the Grumman Widgeon off the ground… and let’s just say… the runway wasn’t what I used to take off.

I have a feeling that we all have slightly different versions. Because Nemeth is anything but organized. I have yet to hear anything back about not being able to download the new one.

Thing is… this is the only aircraft I can think of that has such DRASTICALLY different results… I saw your video! When you started cold and dark, you literally had to turn on the left 5 switches and the rest were off! When I start mine, ALL the switches on the left are on, except the 2 on the very left… Most switches on the right side are on too! Magnetos are on! This HAS to be a different version, I can’t think of any other reason for the different behaviour.

You could compare file sizes to find out if it’s different versions.

Not really - How do you get the size from the Marketplace version?

Well ok, you can’t.

You can. All marketplace add-ons are in the “official” folder at the same folder level as the “community” folder.

After reading all the comments, I decided to stay away from this plane… at least until it is fixed… if it ever gets fixed. Thank you everyone for your input. It was very useful.

Right, but the ideal way to compare would be the archived file like a zip or rar

not sure if it helps but my simmarket version is now 101 and I had no email saying so?

At least you can download it. I bought directly from their circus of a website and every download aborts itself at various points about half-way. I tried about 15 times. No response from Nemeth so far. I wrote on the store message form and via e-mail. Can’t do anything right. I am debating filing a dispute with PayPal and just re-buying from SimMarket. I don’t care if Nemeth website bans me, I would never buy anything there ever again.

I have the same problem. I am usually at 50 - 60 fps. In some situations this plane will drop the fps to 10 or less. Only happens with the yak and makes it unusable.
