Hhoooo boy. I am excited to get a nice upgrade on my Yak-1. 

When can we expect it at the soonest?

That's exciting news Jason! Thanks for the heads up!

 

The Yak series is a fav of mine and I'm pretty excited to have three of them in my hangar in relatively short order. Can't wait!

Until a couple days ago, it had actually been months since I last flew the Yak-1 s.69.

 

Now I've been taken her for a swing again, and boy that plane is so good, especially when you've been struggling to get the most out of the MiG.

 

There is no way the Yak-1b isn't becoming my new favourite ride.

Interesting, somehow I though it was already in beta for a few weeks.

 

Great news, it sounds like we could be flying it pretty soon!

 I love the current Yak so I can't wait to take the 1b bubble Yak for a ride.

Finally, a Yak that isn't shaped like a 50's caravan.  Can't wait to fly in style!

So maybe this week? :D

If it only just entered beta, I'd say middle of next week.

Jason,

 

it's in my pocket since day 1, together with BaK and the Ju-52.

 

Actually, 1st time since I use flight simulators, and excluding a professional platform I cooperate with ( ELITE Flight Simulation Solutions ) il-2 is ** the ONLY ** flight simulator on my system.

 

Why?

 

1) No other flight simulator - and I really mean NO OTHER - does flight dynamics and overall physics modeling like I find them implemented in il2-BoX!

2) No combat simulator I have played with gives me the sam immersion;

3) No Dev Team / Platform gives me the pace of updates and content, and listens to their user community like 1C / 777 ( excluding Hardy Heinlin in Aerowinx PSX, but that's a Boeing 747 professional sim ... )

 

Il-2 BoX is the closest to "being there" os any flight simulator I have used - since I use flight simulators, for more than 25 yrs.... )

any clue about the "Loadout" for the Yak-1B ?

People continue to mention the Yak 7... I know it was originally a two seat trainer, but when it was utilised as a fighter, I have it in my head that it was the better aircraft.

I don't have my books to hand as I'm all packed up ready to move house, any views?

I have not thought about that... Less ground attack armament, maybe different ammo belts?

Somewhere on the Russian forum I think Han said it would have four "modifications".

Anyone seen a forum post talking about the in-game modifications for this plane? I'm curious if the armored block of glass is removeable?

I don't think that will be one but, like the La5, the front glass pane may be interchangeable.

My guess would be:

 

2xFAB50

 

2xFAB100

 

Removable armoured windscreen

 

Reduced ammo capacity (as was standard on early Yak-1bs)

I kind of would prefer a clearer view, free from the armored glass, but hey, whatever, I love this plane and the view is significantly improved even with it.

I told my friend who isn't on the forums all that much that landing lights are optional and he said: "Will they have landing heavies?".  :rolleyes:

''Landing light' is a load out?
