Those are the legs of the planes mechanic lying below the pilots seat, checking details during workshop flight AND dying with the pilot if he made an error. Rough manners, those Soviets. Nice detail, never realized they simulated it

While its sad but its true that some/many people on here will not know what the Flintstones are.

When modders in IL 2 46 played around with pilot models we had this in several planes. I loved the HS 129 and a pilot mod did this on this specific plane, I had to delete the mod for being able to enjoy the plane
