FSX/Acceleration Nuclear Icebreaker LENIN

FSX/Acceleration Nuclear Icebreaker LENIN. This vessel from the Soviets entered service in 1959 and was the first nuclear icebreaker worlwide and also the first civilian nuclear vessel. The ship was powerfull, relativly fast and as comfortable as a cruiseship. The icebreaker opened the routes for cargo ships in the Arctic sea above the northern coast of Russia. In 1965 happened a coolant accident and in 1967 leaks were found in the reactor and so the three old 90 MW reactors were disposed into the sea. In 1970 LENINs lost reactors were replaced with two 170 MW reactors, propelling four steam turbine generators on three propeller shafts. The pilotable FS-model comes with a complete 28 m broad virtual nav bridge, as realisticly as possible. Twenty seven cameras allows you to explore the decks and the virtual nav bridge and let you enjoy plenty of animations: Ice breaking, walking polar bears, a crane which sets a snow truck down to the icefield and a Kamov Ka-18 helicopter doing take offs and landings. Saved flights for the Arctic during day in summer or during night at fall are included. Probably the models will sail also in FS2004 and P3dV2 but this is not tested.
