Announcing DCS: Yak-52
We are pleased to announce a new DCS World aircraft that is currently well into development: the Yakovlev Yak-52. This is an outgrowth of a professional, training project that we are also bringing to you.
The Yakovlev Yak-52 is a tandem seat, radial engine, trainer aircraft that served as the primary aircraft trainer for the Soviet Union and many other nations. Introduced in 1976, the Yak-52 has been a popular choice among air forces given its rugged construction, ease of handling, tricycle landing gear, and simple maintenance. These same characteristic have made it a popular civilian aerobatics aircraft in its later years.
Powered by a single Vedeneyev M-14P, nine-cylinder radial piston engine with 360 horse power, the aircraft is very response given an empty weight of just 998 kg and large controls surfaces. Capable of pulling over 7 G and pushing up to negative 5 G, it

I'm really looking forward to seeing how they model that round motor. Not only the sound of it but also the starting procedure. It is a typical Russian design with pneumatic brakes and the usual most non ergonomic cockpit design possible given the technology available at the time!  :tongue3:


Any pilot that tells you he's never been lost is either lying or he's never been anywhere.

In typical form, Crash gives his honest (and frightening) opinion of the bird!

IRL pilot takes the '52 out for a spin, gives what appears to be a really honest review:  https://youtu.be/acr_PQGdO2k

Kinda nice since most planes we have available are not something that Joe Average would ever take up in the air
