Yak-52

This is an alpha module. This module is still being developed and is missing central features and equipment options. While it is playable, it may have major bugs, and procedures may have inconsistent or unexpected results. The intrepid and very interested may want to buy it; others should probably wait for a more stable or complete release.

The Як-52 is a 1970:s Soviet trainer aircraft for volunteer “sport pilots” that could serve as a reserve for civilian and military air services. It also took on, and remains in, the role of an easy-to-fly agile aerobatics aircraft. In the context of DCS World, it serves almost as an even earlier step than the L-39 in the progression of learning how to fly, and shares many of the Albatros' features.

From a more technical standpoint, the Yak-52 is Eagle Dynamics' testbed for simulating radial-engine prop planes, which would provide them with a broader foundation to build future aircraft. Since they do a fair amount of commission work, this would allow them to attract new clients, and getting a DCS module out of it is just a bonus.
