This freeware release offers a Poland Air Force paint scheme created for the SCDS Yak-40 version 1.3, specifically the “SALON” VIP configuration. It brings a distinctive and authentic look to your installation while maintaining all the essential technical refinements. It demands the base SCDS Yak-40 package (scdsyk40.zip) to function. Once installed, it provides a polished visual experience that complements the aircraft’s unique tri-engine design. Developed by SCDS, with the livery itself authored by Maxim Mysin, this package remains incompatible with Yak-40K v1.2RC. Use the included self-installer to integrate it seamlessly into FS2004. Below, you will find details on setup and additional notes for a smoother configuration.
Overview of the Yak-40 Airframe
The Yak-40 is a short-range, three-engined jet produced by the Yakovlev design bureau. Its compact profile and robust performance have made it a popular option for VIP transport and executive travel. In Polish Air Force service, it caters to official transportation needs, integrating comfortable fixtures for designated personnel. This particular release focuses on reproducing the distinct Poland Air Force markings and interior layout details featured in the VIP “SALON” variant.

Key Technical Highlights
- Authentic visual textures replicating the Polish Air Force’s exterior scheme.
- Compatible exclusively with the SCDS Yak-40 v1.3 release (main aircraft package required).
- Offset rivet and panel line detailing by Zbynek Pavlon, ensuring precise structural representation.
- Refined VIP “SALON” cabin environment consistent with official transport standards.
Installation Procedure
- Launch the provided .exe file.
- Point the installer to your FS2004 root directory as prompted.
- Access the newly added Poland AF variant from the aircraft selection menu in FS2004.
Should any patches for SCDS Yak-40 v1.3 overwrite file entries, rerun the installer to restore this livery. Once reinstalled, it will appear again without issues.
Additional Remarks
All credit goes to SCDS for the original Yak-40 base offering and to Maxim Mysin for assembling this Poland Air Force texture. Thanks also to Zbynek Pavlon for the detailed rivet enhancements. This repaint aims to deliver a faithful replication of the genuine scheme, bringing refined visuals to virtual skies without compromising performance or compatibility.
