Soviet aircraft in the sim?

List updated with the Mig15, it is very good but I think it is now abandoned.

Bear Studios MiG 15 is sold in SimMarket and JustFlight. Is basically the like P3D one.

There was a freeware MiG 15 “Aerosoar MiG 15” but has dissappeared. But there is another one in Simmarket, “MSSCENERY MiG 15”, I have read somewhere that is the same but turned to payware.

Yes, I was referring to the Bear Studios M15, the others are pretty much garbage level I won’t add any Mscenery add-ons to the list.

I think most of us is waiting for civilian airliner to be added to your list at some point :wink:

this is the saddest thing to happen

It looked sooo amazing! I wonder whats up with him.

The last video he posted was a year ago (I think) and the aircraft seemed to have been well advanced in development.
I guess we need to consider whether he may have lived (may live) in Ukraine. a lot of developers used to employ people from Ukraine and a lot of them are now delayed in development from what I read (majestic as well?).
If my assumption is true, than we may never see Tu-134 in our sims

The latest news I have is as follows:

  • MiG-15UTI still in dev (but near completion) from Bear Studios
  • Mi-17V-5 “Hip” Version 2+ likely this week by Cera Simulations
  • MiG-25 Foxbat in development coming “soon” by GKS/Aviasim

No further updates.

I may have some news. Cockspur seems to be working on Antonov An-26. According to their recent communication, they put all projects on hold till end of year, no explanation given. I’m waiting for clarification if their roadmap has changed (they were supposed to do Hawker 800 than An-26, but than some time ago they dropped Hawker, so maybe they will resume An-26 in Jan 2025?

They don’t seem to like questions on their discord, and just say that they prefer to work without any inquiries whatsoever. I believe everything was placed on hold pending what MSFS2024 looks like. Honestly with how archaic the An-26 is in terms of odd systems logic, I wouldn’t even be surprised if they cancel it, but I guess we’ll see sometime next year. I haven’t been too impressed with their follow-up to issues with their existing products, so it’s not a hard loss for me.

Some user I can no longer locate on these forums claimed to be nearly done with a Tu-95, but it may have been a troll, as they had nothing to show for it. Other than that, the only Soviet-era stuff I know of for certain in dev is the Axios Mil Mi-2. At least the new GKS MiG-25 is great in the meantime.

I approached them via facebook. It took them two weeks to answer, but they did and I was glad to get the answer.
Yes, you’re right, an-26 is very archaic but even simplified version would make me happy. Maybe not asobo level of simplicity, but, you know, just simpler than, say, Fenix a320 or PMDG products :slight_smile: That level of “simple” should make it easier for Cockspur to actually manufacture the aircraft and would allow us, people with not even a vague idea how soviet aircraft work, to enjoy occasional stroll :slight_smile:

So that’s my recent exchange with them. Judge it yourself, but now I know what people mean when they say, that Cockspurs replies are somewhat unfriendly and/or unhelpful

They answered clearly enough, all projects are on HOLD that means no progress untill they know what 2024 holds instore.
Id be pretty spikey too if i was asked the same question repeatedly in a short space of time.
As for them OWING you updates, they dont owe anyone any info until they decide to release it.
All your doing is asking " are we there yet, are we there yet, are we there yet, are we there yet?"
