niebieski Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I bet most of you never had a chance to try it... Back in FS2004 i used to fly this thing to death. I remember learning cyrillic and basic russian to get acquainted with this plane (btw. helped me tremendously to read street names in Greece later that year ). I have so many fond memories flying it that i could possibly write a novel about it. Recently, guys behind it released FSX version... First officer shouts БЕЗОПÐСÐÐЯ (or V2) as we rotate on Canberra's runway 17 Passengers are truely impressed by ORBX vistas. Someone was heard saying "They did great job for sure!" Although weather today is not that good for sightseeing... At least surrounding hills and endless fields can be easily seen. Tupolev however is not forgiving at all! Poor approach planning puts us in a situation far from comfortable... Luckily, we have managed to put it down on centerline and stop safely before the end one more time. And even that is not the easiest thing to do in Tupolev! I highly encourage anyone willing to spend weeks (yes!) learning new plane with completely different flying philosophy than that of western jets, to try it out: Download Project Tupolev 154-B2 Project Tupolev Support Forum Thanks for viewing!

Jean-Paul Mes Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I wish I had the time for that one. Probably one of the greatest freeware offerings available but also a full-time job to learn how to fly it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
