Konstantin Kukushkin Konstantin is a student at the Munich University of Technology in Garching, Germany where he's studying Computer Science. Over the past five years, he's taken his hobby quite seriously and is now considered by many to be one of the leading experts about the inner workings of Flight Simulator and Combat Flight Simulator. This in depth knowledge enables him to discover the "secrets" of the visual aircraft model (*.mdl) and piece together some very clever code to animate the various aircraft parts. Konstantin is a prodigious maker of flight sim tools and utilities including DynKit, AirPhoto and several other "internal" flight sim programs for Abacus. He's also the author of the well-read FSFacts and has also found the time to write several several articles for Full Throttle Magazine. When he's not at his computer, you might find him at the local beer hall in Garching. We met him there in late April to enjoy a wonderful German dinner, have a few dark beers and snap his photo.
