This add-on provides a detailed repaint of the Ilyushin Il-76TD in Gazprom Avia colors, accurately reflecting registration RA-76446. It is designed exclusively for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 and requires the freeware base package created by Varnavskiy Sergey and Shetsev Sergey. These textures, developed by Mike Pearson, deliver both visual detail and efficient performance in a “light” configuration that supports AI traffic while remaining fully flyable.
Aircraft Background and Unique Attributes
The Ilyushin Il-76 (often referred to by its NATO codename “Candid”) emerged in the early 1970s as a robust, four-engine turbofan transport capable of accommodating both cargo and personnel. It is a staple of large-scale airlift operations not only in Russia but worldwide. Gazprom Avia, associated with the infrastructure and transport sector, operates a fleet configuration that often includes specialized liveries representing corporate identity. This repaint incorporates the recognizable Gazprom Avia scheme, underscoring the aircraft’s utility in diverse logistical environments.
Performance-Friendly Repaint
This release includes only the repaint files. The developers have focused on delivering 32-bit reflective textures while maintaining a resource-efficient model framework. By limiting certain animations, the add-on stays AI friendly and optimally manages frame rates, especially in high-traffic simulated airports. However, the flight model is still refined enough for pilots interested in hands-on simulation of the Il-76’s distinctive characteristics.
Technical Details and Features
- Repaint Type: 32-bit reflective scheme for authentic metallic sheen.
- Registration: RA-76446, depicting a real-world Gazprom Avia asset.
- AI Compatibility: Minimized animations enhance usage in high-density AI operations.
- Flyability: Model retains functional flight controls and handling properties.

Creators and Installation Notes
The outstanding base model comes from developers Varnavskiy Sergey and Shetsev Sergey, while Mike Pearson prepared the detailed textures for this specific Gazprom Avia livery. Since this package only includes the repaint, simmers must first install the freeware Il-76 base model, which is available in the Fly Away Simulation library. After that, users can add these textures following the conventional aircraft folder structure within the simulator.
This mod is a repaint for a freeware model and does not include the base model. You will need to download the freeware base model from the Fly Away Simulation mod library.
