I found this georgous Tupolev Tu-154b on Avsim the other day and decided to fly it from Hewanorra, St Lucia to London Heathrow, England. Heres the story.

...
Starting the engines.

...
Feel the power! Nice big, noisy and dirty thats how I like my airliners Grin .

...
I don't like the look of those clouds out there  Shocked

...
As I suspected it was a good idea to climb above them.

...
Isn't she a beaut? 8)

...
On approach. This bird is serious flying material and handles like an English kerniggit, (to quote Monty Python,) at slow speeds. You can bet I was sweating at this point lol.

...
As you can see though we made it back with all passengers intact. Phew Wink

Its a big download but has great flight dynamics, a wonderful DVC and ace sounds. I believe that it was worth every second it took to download.

Comments please.

Is that a virtual cockpit only or is the passenger cabin there too?

I like that aircraft also.  I found it pretty cool that when I moved the throttles forward the fans speed increased along with the power going to the engines.

Great shots.

Yeah loads of little details that are just great on the aircraft. Its a pain in the absolute arse to fly at low speeds though but I like a challenge  Grin

Unforunately the VC only goes in the cabing but if you look in the windows in spot view and you can see all the seats and the aisles.

Thanks for the comments Wink
