Well, I have been following this thread but I am not really sure how to proceed.

I have downloaded two files, namely Il-62M.rar which contains the model (mdl) file and Texture.vim.rar.

Could someone please let me know what else I need to do to have a working VC.

Thank you,

PTDirk · Ïðàâàê

High, the same question again ... I'm not realy shure what to do to gain the VC.

Any progress on this one? Óëûáêà

Kirill · ÊÂÑ

The old DUST's work on visual was stopped. But!

I have a sources of tis model, and use them in new one!
The project will have smooth 3d gauges and HD textures.

Gauges are ported to fsx now, programmers now work on exporting variables and other additional stuff.
New Aircaft will be FSX-only.

Kirill,

Glad to hear that the Il-62M continues to develop.
As a very long-time user of the Tu-154 series, this will be a new and interesting learning curve/experience!

Understanding that we all must be patient while the team works on this addon, do you have any preview/development screenshots to show?

Additionally, would you expect this FSX Il-62 to be on track for release within the next year or so?
(I understand that you may not be willing to give a more precise release date other than "less than, or greater than, a year away".)

Thanks.

Kirill · ÊÂÑ

I think less then a year. Õèòðûé

No screens, but exterior model is ready, VC too. the process of animation and painting of VC continues. No exterior textures at this time.

Gauges are ready except L-variables for VC

Thanks for the information, Kirill.

The news is greatly appreciated. I'm sure we're all very excited to get our hands on what's sure to be yet another excellent quality addon. It's also great to see high quality development of, from a Western perspective, the more "unique" aircraft/airliners in our world...instead of everyone producing 737s over and over! Óëûáêà

As an American with a strong interest in Russian/Ukrainian/"Eastern" aviation, it's nice to see a group willing to make these important aircraft.

One final question if I may:

The Tu-154 series of addons has historically been equivalent (or above!) in quality systems simulation with such top developers as PMDG and Aerosoft.
However, the 154 series has also always been freeware, which I find to be absolutely amazing given the quality and work involved.
(There are many, many payware aircraft of much lesser quality out there!)

Does Project Tupolev plan to continue with the freeware trend with the upcoming Il-62M (and future projects), or could it be payware?

Again, I find it tremendous that we've seen these highly-detailed, unique aircraft for free, and I'm sure that enthusiasts such as myself would not mind compensating the team for their hard work!

Kirill · ÊÂÑ

62 will be freeware, of course. all project based on S.Gritsevsky's gauges was, is and will be freeware. This was a position of S.Gritsevsky.

I can't say for the whole Project Tupolev... I'm not a "big boss" here. Óëûáêà

But I (myself) didn't plan to go "payware" in close future.

Hi Kirill,

Not to be pushy, but I'm just curious if there's anything new to share as a progress report, since it's been quiet for over a month. Óëûáêà

As always, we're looking forward to the FSX Il-62 and hoping that development is going well.

Best of luck in continued development,

Sean
