*****XPlanenation review of Ramzzess' IL-96***** X-Plane Version: 9 Cost: $19.96 Buy: http://store01.prost...e/Detail?no=225 One of the least reviewed aircraft in X-Plane, is in my opinion the Il-96 by Ramzzess. Available for X-Plane 9 this whale of an aircraft is a great aircraft and a total beast to fly. This review has been on xplanenation.com for some time and I believe it is time to publish this review to everyone. The Il-96-400 is a modern variant of the IL-96 aircraft with Russian engines and avionics. Although a modern aircraft, it has had trouble with orders with only 29 96s so far built. However, in X-Plane we can have as many as we want! This aircraft is available at http://store01.prost...e/Detail?no=225, and at only $19.95 USD is a great price! So lets go explore the IL-96! The cockpit is very well done. The Il-96 has 6 Main Screens as seen to the side. Each screen is meticulously done and is very clear at “high” settings. Starting the aircraft from a “dark position” is readily available for even someone with limited skills in X-Plane procedrues. The cockpit has extensive use of “manipulators", which allow for doors and windows to open as well as adjusting the landing lights brightness. Here are a few examples of what manipulators can do with a 3-D cockpit. Sun screen, instrument brightness, and flight attendant seats in the cabin. The 3-D cockpit is well modelled done and it must be noted that the aircraft has no 2-D cockpit, which can be a turn off for some buyers. However most well crafted payware planes come with a 3-D cockpit these days, thus without they cannot expect to get the same amount of purchases. The Cabin is also very well crafted. All three cabins are well modeled and for obvious reasons, I find first class to be the best to relax over a 6-9 hour flight! I always find it interesting to view the interiors of late era Soviet designed aircraft with beams throughout the cabin and IFE! The one drawback I find with the interior is the map, based upon the Airline Manager Facebook Simulation. It is quite blurry but it does seem to be a good idea to have a companies' map shown. The Il-96 also features a cargo variant. Featuring a main cargo door it is quite low on cargo and is interesting to navigate through the nooks and crannies. The last thing I will talk about is the sound. There are realistic X-passenger sounds (It is quite fun to smash the Il into the runway) however as I run it on a mac the engine sounds do not stop when accessing menus like weather, weight etc. I believe this is a mac only issue however. And my gosh the engines screech! Don't say I didn't worn you about the PS-90s.... So is it worth the 19.95 price tag? If you are a Russian aviation aficionado than of course! If you like any of Ramzzess work then yes! The one drawback is that it does not work with X-Plane 10 yet. I have updated the airfoils but the plugin prevents the PFDs from being clear. So if you fly X-Plane 9 this commercial beast is for you! -Orcair Xplanenation.com Owner More photos available at the review on www.xplanenation.com: http://www.xplanenat...-il-96-400.html
