triplethr3at Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Agree 100% with wrench great mods . Just make all the new Russian jets look that much better You know what they say. An aircraft is nothing withought a good pilot
JAT81500 Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Outstanding work !!! But what would be the part 2 ?
X RAY Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Outstanding work !!! But what would be the part 2 ? New suits and oxy mask Km-34 series II and Km-36,latest russian flight gear is much closer to western standard,Km-36 on first look seems an MBU-20,and for example the new G-suit trousers-not the high altitude vkk compensation suits-are wore over the flight suit and not under like previous setup,they have another flight helmet too Zsh-90 or zsh-9 that is similar to the latest gueneau helmet-rafale or latest M2000 pilots-
Madprof Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Thanks Trooper I think I speak for most of us when I say that these are superb,I love Red 3211 this whole kit was also worn by the Vietnamese Peoples Air Force during the Vietnam conflict so I have allready changed all of my enemy pilots over to this one.Mmm part2,I know what is missing a really good Mig 17/Mig 17F Vietnamse pilot in their leather flying helmets I think most people who want to replicate this style of pilot have been using an old WWII pilot skin but it could do with a renew,especially in the hi-res as you have given us.In fact your Red 3211 skin with those leather jackets would be perfect apart from the ZS3 helmets. Anyway only a thought,again this is fantastic stuff,allready looking forward to the part 2.Thanks again very much,brilliant.
The Trooper Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 X RAY, the Soviets have been producing PPK suits (G-suit trousers, much like the western ones) since the late 60's, but I have no idea why they preffered the high altitude VKK suits. The PPK suits were more common (and liked) in the rest of the Eastern bloc. Part 2 - modern Russian pilots - 90's until today, including Su-33 pilots in orange water resistant VMSK suits. No ZSh-9/90 helmets though. Part 3 - some early Soviet pilots wearing leather helmets. I'll probably use the stock pilot model, because the WWII pilot isn't very skin friendly. VPAF pilots pack - Vietnam war era and modern VPAF pilots. I have to guess the colour of the flightsuits used during the Vietnam war, due to a lack of colour reference photos.

Once again great work guys. I spent an hour last night switching the pilots in all my russian aircraft. Look forward to doign it again when the new pilot packs come out. Do you guys think you would do a modern western pilot pack in teh future (british/french etc...)?
The Trooper Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 Do you guys think you would do a modern western pilot pack in teh future (british/french etc...)? Sure, if there is enough interest.
