Are the specifications for the aircraft in G6, Expansion Packs or Mega-Packs available anywhere prior to buying and loading the model and/or editor? Here's the dilemma:
I've got well over 3000 hours on the sticks flying the G3.5 Yak54. My trainer on day #1 at the field was a Carbon Z Yak, and week #2 brought a GreatPlanes Performance Series 25% Yak54 powered by an XYZ 53cc twin.
I just noticed the Yak in G3.5 is quite a bit larger than the GP model IRL. There isn't an engine to drop in to simulate the 53twin (there's not even a DA-50) in G3.5, let alone a model Yak that will fly with a similar engine. So, obviously 3.5 is discontinued and unsupported. I get that it's time to upgrade to G6, but I'm hesitant to buy anything unless there's a model close to what I'm looking for available.
There's the problem. All of the aircraft lists - G6, Mega-Pack, Expansion Packs - all have various Yaks listed, but none seem to be specific IRL models that I can look up specs to see if weight, wingspan, engine, etc. are even close to be worth an edit.
Is there a list of aircraft specs for the new generation of software and add-ons, or do we not know the size of a Yak54 or "Russian Thunder" until it's loaded on-screen?
