6th of 10 phase release of the Planespotting Challenge!, just four more planes to go and the challenge will officially close!

Pretty tamed aircraft this Il-96M is, and not much new innovation for this aircraft apart from the funky tree flap system from the A340-600 South African Airways, it was tough to come up with a formula to only have the piston actuate once the flap is relatively flat, but I did it and it works like magic.

The engines are magnificent and are actually from 757-300 RB211 Icelandair, but since icelandair doesn't operate Boeing 757s with PW2000s, I had to switch them out with RB211s. Quite glad I could recycle the engines for this project instead of being lost forever in the subassembly files. Of course they are retrofitted and altered to fit in the wings and look more contemporary.

Regardless, I might make one of its other versions with the Aviadvigatel PS-90A engines given with enough demand.

This project was rushed in its finalisation phase to have it ready in time so I apologise if it is a bit rough in the edges, flight performance and animation should be good though. And still excellent in low physics setting.
