I must say that the combination of the top-notch modelling and the excellent Georgian scenery make for a great flying experience.
Here’s a little movie as a taster:
There aren’t too many objects simply because my system wouldn’t handle them. I’ve also hidden some of the opposition this time. And for those of you who haven’t tried the Su-25T yet: as soon as you jump into the cockpit do SHIFT_L to power-up.

Precise navigation is vital in this mission, so copy and paste the flight plan into Word (or similar).
Russian and German texts to follow shortly.
Enjoy the ride.
Operation Dragon takes place during a fictional conflict in which you fly a Georgian Air Force Su-25T against NATO adversaries.
Summer 1996. It is five years since the Soviet Union abandoned Rostov and Krasnodar regions to the Bataysk National Independence Liberation Movement.
NATO forces have just taken over from Russian troops in the western half of Krasnodar province.
NATO units are enforcing an illegal embargo against our glorious Republic of Georgia and its aircraft have violated sovereign Georgian airspace on several occasions. The situation in the country is desperate; our Air Force’s only serviceable aircraft are two Su-25Ts and a Mi-8 helicopter. Supplies of aviation fuel are running very low.
10:00 Hrs. You and your wingman are on the apron at Gudauta Air Base ready to depart on a Ground Attack mission when Intelligence reports that a NATO E-3A AWACS aircraft has diverted to Maykop Air Base with a technical problem. Now is our chance to strike back at the western imperialist pigs. President Perdue has ordered the Air Force to destroy the E-3A before it is able to depart from Maykop.
Maykop Air Base is over 250 Km away and you have only 2000 Kg of fuel on board. There is no more fuel available. Regiment HQ have produced a route which has just been loaded into your Nav/Attack computer. If you make the assigned steerpoints at the exact time you will avoid the NATO AH-64D helicopters patrolling the border south-east of Krasnaja Poljana (43 41 00N 40 13 00E) and have sufficient fuel to land on the highway (SP10) north of Psebaj where you will be picked up by Special Forces at 10:45 Hrs.
It is your duty to attack the AWACS aircraft and defend the honour of the Georgian nation.
Your call-sign: Dragon 11
Weather is fine, sky clear 20 C
Home Plate: Gudauta Air Base (SP0)
Emergency landing field: Highway north of Psebaj (SP10).
Is there a time frame to finish this model?
I have checked some pics and I can do it fairly quickly, from scratch ofcourse.
But due to time squeeze Someone else has to do the gears ,animation, and texturing.
Please let me know if thats ok.
Guys I don't know if this helps...but here are some pictures of the models made for Indian Air Force Mig - 21 Type M.
