The Yak 52 has a 400hp, 9 Cylinder Radial Engine bringing the aircraft to a cruise of around 100 knots and a recommended climb rate of 800fpm.
Currently modelled in the sim:
Retractable Gear
Flaps (0, 20, 40)

All cockpit gauges function
Radio and Transponder (VATSIM ready)
Avionics and Battery Master switch

IMPORTANT NOTE: This has recently been updated from an alpha state and there may still be some bugs
List of known issues to be fixed:

Unable to hide control stick (use other quickview to see transponder while flying)
VR Mode cockpit position not always set correctly
If there are any further issues please let me know and I will sort them out as soon as I can
Installation:
Simply place the folder "yakolev-aircraft-yak-52" into your community folder
Make sure there is not a second folder with the same name inside the first one. Your file Structure should be as follows:
Community > yakolev-aircraft-yak-52 > SimObjects
Future update plans:
Improved textures
Bug fixes
Improved sounds
Eventually there will be a payware version of this aircraft with true to life sounds, real-world procedures and improved model quality, but there will always be a freeware version here.

Fixed flickering comms panel
Special thanks to Jonx Simulations for the great SDK tutorial series
I love this plane, and i cannot wait for it to be updated. I always browse the liveries hoping to see some being made for it.

Thanks! I've been working on a flight model and systems update recently as well as an entirely new model that might eventually become a payware version, while an updated version of this remains free.
Unfortunately I don't have a paintkit out for this model so you probably won't see a livery for it unless someone is particularly crazy and dedicated but I might be able to get one out in the future.

That's very strange behavior. I did extensive testing of the flight model before uploading and I had at least 5 people test it before the initial alpha release too. If you wouldn't mind I'd like to try and figure out what's happening with your install and fix it if it is an issue on the aircraft side. First thing I would check would be the trim wheel on the left of the cockpit to make sure you didn't accidentally scroll while over it and cause a very nose up trim.

Nice! Had been following the development for a while now. Too bad people can't understand this is alpha and isn't a ready product. Keep up your work and don't give up!

I understand vanfipe, this is Alpha. This is not a development site though, there are plenty of others for that. this used to be solely about released finished content and more and more people are rushing to get an "alpha" out and then never update it, it will be to the detriment of the the quality of the site because people have to through 10 things to get one worth keeping ( thats not a comment on this item, i have not down loaded it, its a generic comment on the use of the site gradually degrading ). People are pleased with their work and want to share, i get that, but it be better in the long run to release when something is ready.
