The Turbolet project

Ksgy's first Turbolet release appeared in 2011 with a 2D panel. The 3D cockpit was released on 27 April 2016 after several years of development. The project page now separates passenger and cargo downloads by X-Plane generation and credits independent AviTab and VR integrations.

Let L-410 UVP-E ↗Research-based aircraft background

Let L-410 UVP-E

The L-410 UVP-E is documented in the operating manual linked by ksgy's Turbolet project. The simulator download page provides distinct passenger and cargo archives for X-Plane 12, with older X-Plane 11 packages retained separately.

The project began with a simpler 2D cockpit and later acquired a 3D flight deck. Its author also links optional AviTab and VR work by other contributors and identifies the x-flight.su update as separate from the original aircraft.

Lockheed C-130 Hercules ↗Research-based aircraft background

Lockheed C-130 Hercules

Lockheed designed the Hercules for troops, freight and medical evacuation, with a high wing, four turboprops, a large cargo compartment and rear loading ramp. The airframe also supported tanker, weather, scientific and other specialist missions.

The family spans several engine and cockpit generations. Classic Hercules and C-130J aircraft use different propulsion and crew arrangements, with further changes for specialist equipment.
