Aero L-39 Albatros

**Lotus** · September 15th, 2009, 12:46

Thanks man! Yeah, it's a bit surprising in a way considering that the L-39 is woefully underpowered, unforgiving in load factor, a royal pain in the arse to taxi, with an excruciatingly slow engine spool, weak avionics, no autopilot, and likes to punish or outright kill you for the slightest screwup.

I guess the fun is in the challenge, hehe.

Cheers,

-Mike

My thanks to both BananaBob and Yago9.

Before ordering 57 x L-39E directly to Aero Vodochody, Egypt Air Force received 10 x L-39ZA for its Flying Training Brigade as a gift of Libyan's Ruler Muhamar Khadhafi from the Libyan Air Force impressive L-39 inventory of 181 x Airframes ( ! )

With the arrival of the L-39E fleet at 88 Squadron, the current fate of these 10 x L-39ZA is unknown but they probably are still airworthy.

My thanks to Yago9.

Among all Air Forces on the planet equipped with the L-39 Albatross, Ghana Air Force is probably the one having the smallest fleet :
2 x L-39, coded G901 and G902.

Hello Gajit,

I hope you don't mind me asking, but is it possible to give us an update on the Cuban L-39 you previewed earlier? Thanks for any news:ernae:.

8 Albatros repaints in Czech Republic - colour schemes which were used from 2004 onwards:http://www.flightsim.cz/fsitem.php?a...606&lan=&menu=

**skulleader** · September 22nd, 2009, 11:58

Hello,

I've a little question for Zsolt, I can't download your wonderful skin.
Please can you give us one link ?

Best regards, Olivier.

**JensOle** · September 24th, 2009, 12:55

Nice HUNAF repaints! A 3 ship visit of L-39's have been flying here at Pápa all week.

Hi Guy,
Very close in getting this aircraft and have one small question about the VC. I have been looking at the various vid's and screen shots on the Albatros and just one thing that catch's my eye is the Control stick and the grey section at the top, to me it looks like it's not been textured and left blank as the hat switch and the small what ever it is on the right is also the same grey.
Question: is this correct or has it been re-done? Timm

**rohan** · September 27th, 2009, 21:14

Has anyone downloaded the Czech CLV pack for which there is a link in post 1087, and which is now also available at www.flightsim.com (along with an update) ? If so, could you please tell me whether the 8 repaints are different colour schemes or simply 8 different serial numbers on the same basic grey scheme,
thanks in advance,
Ro

I have no idea if it is a mistake (I doubt it), but do not let it put you off this aircraft. The flying experience is head and shoulders above any other jet package in FSX. It is outstanding!

Judging from the "thumbnails" included in each texture folder the paints are all he same, only the aircraft numbers are different.

**Nick C** · September 28th, 2009, 09:19

Mike, can you send me an email please, I lost yours when my HD died and I need to speak with you ASAP. Cheers.

It's not untextured, but it is plain grey. I imagine this is deliberate. Speaking for myself I mainly switch of the stick, but when I don't, I certainly don't worry about that colour. There are far too many other things going on to distract me

**tpet** · September 28th, 2009, 09:41

In the Lotus Sim Forums Mike gave an "update on the update" and this can be found under: Improved/Added: #2

Don't work too hard on this, Timm. One of the items slated for the update is "Control stick hat switches geometry smoothed out and stick detail increased slightly." For the rest, see Mike's "Update on the update," dated 9 September: http://www.lotussim.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=261.

If it helps with the decision making process for anybody who is yet to purchase the Albatros (is there anybody left?), we've just uploaded a review of the package:
