The problem with Russian aircraft is that to be authentic, they would have to use cyrillic characters on the panels. I doubt that most users would have the patience to learn this and also what kind of market quantity could they sell. :( :( Ron

there is a very nice model of MI-8 on the market with real cockpit, but they just change the cyrilic to english and it very nice to fly.

As far as I know there are in real life, russian planes with that modification, operating, precisely for market reasons and to standard operations in the occident..

It's just a matter of changing russian to english, meters to feet, km to knots and a few more, not that difficult I believe.
