DCS: L-39 Albatros

[+MigBuster]

Two seat Jet trainer aircraft L-39C is intended for basic and advanced pilot training in visual and instrument flight rules weather conditions, day and night and also for combat use against air and ground targets.
Its development started in the middle 60s of the last century by the Czech “Aero Vodochody”. In the 70s the aircraft has entered service and is still in the operational use in over 30 countries worldwide.

The DCS L-39C is the most accurate computer simulation of this aircraft among flight simulators available for PC.
The aircraft systems, engine and weapons have been simulated in full. The professional flight model has been developed. All the real procedures are possible in two interactive cockpits. Highly detailed and accurate model of the aircraft will make you feel the unforgettable sense of flying the famous “flying school desk”, which opened the way to the sky to thousands of air forces pilots worldwide.

Key Features of the DCS: L-39 Albatros:

• Professional Flight Model that accurately mimics the performance and flight characteristics of this legendary trainer
• Highly detailed, six-degrees-of-freedom (6 DOF) cockpit
• Interact with cockpit controls with your mouse
• Fully modelled weapon system
• Accurate L-39C model with correct country markings
• Detailed modelling of the L-39 instruments, weapons, engine, radios, fuel, electrical and hydraulic systems
• Fly from either the front seat or back seat
• Planned cooperative multiplayer in the same aircraft (not available at release)
• Two versions of aircraft: L-39C that will be available in the initial beta and L-39ZA that will be later

The DCS L-39 (like the DCS P-51D) presents me with a unique opportunity. The Kissimmee airport near my workplace operates T-6 Texan, P-51Ds, and L-39s for the purpose of allowing people to fly them and even get rated to fly those aircraft solo. It would be nice to save money over a few years (perhaps soaking up some overtime for my own personal gift fund), then use the money to fly the P-51 and L-39. It would be interesting to compare the responses of the real aircraft to control inputs, then come home and try duplicating the results. I would need to wear a go pro type setup so that I could record instrument indications. It would be a fun experiment for me (though a costly one). I could better use the money on other things that I would use far longer. I also might be better served to save up for a one-time flight in the Collings Foundation's F-4 Phantom, but again the cost-effectiveness is extremely prohibitive... much better ways to spend the money for long-term benefits rather than a few minutes I would never forget.

I am thinking about this as well. Remember the Capt Sim one back in 2002-2003 time frame for FS?

I remember announcements for Capt Sim products, most famously the MiG-21UM, but I have never bought any MSFS products other than FSX and FSX Gold. In that time frame, only two sims had my attention: SFP1/WoX and Aces High.
