The supposedly newly released TU-144 Package - by michael roberts uploaded on Jan7 2012 - "supposedly" re-worked from FS 2004 for "FSX" the Aircraft does NOT Fly in FSX GOLD Acceleration edition as he claims - either the Air File is way off or the Flight Dynamics in the Aircrafts CFG file are all wrong or from another plane and NOT made for this particular aircraft !! Test Flight from edwards airforce base in calif. I was only able to get about 100ft off the ground at Super High speed - also many of the guages don't show up and - some of the TU-144's have sound and others do "NOT" !!! This is not quite up to standards for FSX by any means !!! this message posted 1/10/2012 !! Jetranger Angry

Please do NOT link images, it slows the forums down for other users.

Although I understand frustration, you might want to be a little less temperamental. All free-ware has been brought to us via the sacrifices of modders free time. So keep in mind that there is NOTHING forcing them to keep making mods for the community other than for the sake of sharing their hobby. The modders could just leave and force us to buy payware mods.

I posted a reply on the designer feedback:

"What?

Works fine with me. Just installed the plane, selected it and started the flight and it just took off with no special actions other than putting the flaps down. Sounds, lights, flight dynamics it all seems legit...
No gauges though... But that seems to be an internal problem. The guy that posted the update did not make the original aircraft..."

Up is the way to go.

You should try Tu-144 V3.0.Google translated
It has a vc, It has complex systems. It works in fsx acceleration, It is designed to be the most realistic "charger" for fsx as realistic & gauges show up. Just click on the first blue link(full model) and then the second one(fuel pump fix). Only downside is that you should scan your computer for viruses after downloading. I didn't get any but some others do. Just to be the safe side as others claim to have gotten a few. Sad

And also Jetranger, You really need to stop being so rude. I understand you are frustrated but please be calmer. You need to ENCOURAGE designers to be better, not force them into doing it. That way you make more people want to become designers because they know that they will be treated well. Also make current designers motivated to do better and better Wink

.
So next time please bring it out polite and nicely and therefore everyone is grateful to help you.
You see there is this instinct in Man which is if you are treated with aggression you fight back with well... aggression. It must have been an evolutionary trait from back when we were still primitives and we had to fight and if we backe... Better stop there.

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Just type at Simviation TU-144 for a new version I found.

You will have to edit some gauges in the panel.cfg there are some mistakes in it. You will get an error message about a gauge, but it's just a text error in the panel.

You should also take some weight off since it seems too heavy to take off. I changed all fuel to 70% and I took off.
You can also take cargo off. That will work too. You should also trim up for lift. Everything helps.

I forgot one more thing, there are switches in the VC to turn on some gauges. Four switches top left.
