^This is a video of V1 M-53, with primitive flame, textures and landing gear^

The highly acclaimed SST is back with another update! (and now compatible with XPX!)

This plane was a Vladimir Mayasischev design (1950s) and only existed on pen and paper. Unfortunatley, it never made it further along the line, due resources not being strong enough.This is definitely the best plane I've done; and I've put alot more work into it than all of my other planes.

This awesome plane includes....

• High Res textures - Improved
  
• LIT textures
  
• Almost fully customised cockpit
  
• Hi Res outer cockpit window - no pixel visible even at a low texture render in X-plane!
  
• Custom sounds
  
• Five liveries (Modern and old Aeroflot, White, Silver, and 'Experimental')
  

And in the cockpit, there is a constantly updating log showing leading edge temp, clock, and fuel.

IN THE LATEST UPDATE:

The 'Custom flame' is now reverted to norm due to realism, the landing gear problem encountered earlier is now fixed (with three gear dollys and set up based on a later interpretation of the design)... And a whole lotta new! (see the screenshot for more)

A huge thanks to bargbill, for his fabulous job at making the bird land slower than concorde! He is a great freind and a useful companion when I'm stuck with things, we should all give him a great pat on the back!

Also I should thank FTLDave for giving me the drawings in the first place, and introducing me to this beautiful bird.

And to alshe, the master of planemaker, for his sounds.

(note that the engine souds are different though)
