Hi Canuck:
As most gauges and handles showing tooltips in English it is not a big problem, but the cited download does not contain the English manual, if you need it let me know it.
Kind regards
Walter

Walter, do you know of any way to magically learn Russian. I've struggled over the years with these aircraft and always end up giving up. LOL

walterleoI’ve seen that you can get wingviews for the PT Tu154m, but when I move around the vc there are no wing views. How do I get them, or which model version has them?

Hi Alex: As the Tu-154M was bigger and heavier one could not fly her like a B-727-100 even with the more powerful engines of the M. I have to search my copy of the Tu-154M handbook of Syrian Airlines (in English). I will send you a copy. Will come back to that, if I have found it. Cubana operated the 154M to some hot and high airports like MMMX. I have checked once the departure from MMMX on a hot day, according the handbook it was possible but not with a full load. The simulation flew out gracefully doing it according to the book. Here the speeds of the less powerful B2: and here the calculation for a flight MMMX to MMUN: For the Tu-154M see that p.240 ff: dokumen.tips/documents/tu-154m111.html?page=240Not quite STOL airplanes. Kind regards Walter

I believe it was "a hell of lot fsster" too (although what impact that had on its fuel economy I don't know given speed generally always comes "at an operational cost disadvantage") .... being capable of speeds paralleling, or exceeding, that of the CV990-A when pushed. I don't think anyone around this forum knows more about the TU-154 family that Walter. It is/was his pet FS love As Walter knows (and I can talk about this now knowing it's simply "NOT" going to happen) .... when PROJECT TUPOLEV "began to fold-up" we contacted them with a view to offering the TU-154 "a permanent home here at HJG". Most of their English speaking representatives were quite keen on the idea too (though language did become an issue) .... it seemed. However .... we soon discovered "a technical difficulty" (can't recall precisely what it was .... strange for me .... but Walter will know) that wasn't so easy to overcome and therefore rendered our hosting this project "no all that easy", so sadly, we had to just "let it slip". All this was around few years ago. Mark C AKL/NZ

Hi friends:
Regarding the speed of the Tu-154s:
In airline practice in Russia the M was flown M 0.80 to M 0.82 depending the financial status of her operators and jet fuel was cheap there. Soviet airliners were intentionally overbuilt hence heavier than their Western siblings. This was done for various reasons: Operational environment, different servicing practices, different production quality standards, cheap fuel, dual use for civil and military flying, air-transport organisation and lack of profit incentives there. The airlines of the USSR were operated for transporting people and goods at low prices and connecting an enormous country but NOT to satisfy some investors.
Kind regards
Walter
