If you have FSX with SP2 and acceleration, don't think that the Yak at http://www.simviation.com/fsxvintage19.htm might be for you unless you don't mind your props looking like this.

It might work ok in FSX without SP2 and acceleration but this is what it looks like with it.

Here is a shot from FS9. Looks good here.

Maybe it should be moved from the FSX download section to the FS9 section..

Its obviously that this one hasnt been updated for SP2, but that is no reason to remove it from FSX! there are a lot of people that dont fly under SP 2. MS was smarth enough to change how some display properties work, so that is why a lot of planes are bugged. Shots look nice!

A good modeling effort on the rest of the plane, but beyond the texture issue of the prop, the entire disc seems too large for the plane anyway!
It might just be the angle of the shots that is making it look huge though....

How about a note in the description saying if a model is SP2 ready or not. That would be considerate.

I had the same issue with the Yak-11 "Czech Mate" racer. But the aircraft looks great otherwise. I'll keep it and just live with the prop issue.
 

My specs... A hard drive, motherboard, graphics card, some memory, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor - in other words, nothing special.
