Now that I'm starting to get into Russian planes, and the recent download of Project Tupolev's TU-154 (thanks, SimV, for saving me a lot of trouble with your version), I now need to... well... I need to learn to fly all over again.

Any pointers (specifically, panel pointers) will be accepted.

You know, that's not at all a bad idea. But first thing's first though. What good is a plane if you can't get it off the ground, let alone *cough*start the engines*cough* Embarrassed

So, let's see... TU-114, 124, 144, and 154 should do it for Russian passenger travel for now, and those will go nicely with my Antonovs (124 and 225). Afterward, I can go hunting for Ilyushins.

Isn't there a manual with the kite? I seem to recall that most of the Russian planes available come with a small English language PDF file full of instructions Wink

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

The plane WILL NOT WORK in FSX until they update the gauges

For the help instructions
1: Will try to find that topic again...
2: PRINT the manual
3: Visit http://www.protu-154.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=2

For starting
First thing you need to find is the clickspot for the FE panel, lower left on there are the fuel valves and the APU, start that one first (due to panel bugs)
Middle is engine parameters... loads of red lights untill you get them running. Every EGT gauge has a separate power switch
Big one on Right is the fuel switcher. you should have at least the 4 caged ones in up and the set above them before you attempt any starting

 
Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones),  Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

I've got a decent know-how with the panel now, but what I really need is the manual, and I have no idea where to find it other then the official site, where they copy they have refuses to work on my computer.

If anyone knows where I can get a copy of the manual, it would be much appreciated.

UPDATE: OK, I think I just about have it. Now I just need to wait for the PT-154 58 mb file to download. People have been saying that it installs a manual with it. Hopefully the TU-154B and TU-154M have the same panel.

If you have the 9.6.x from www.protu-154.com you have it installed already... just try shift-1 to shift-9. The radar screen that pops up is the Groza but it only works with 3D clouds activated (it reads the cloud polygons)

http://www.sovclassim.org/tu134.html

Be warned... it in Cyrillic

You need to click the image that is to the right of the 'SCS Ty-134A v.0.9.5' text (with the soviet flag). That will download the installer.
The one from the link above is NOT fsx compatible.

Manual errata and flying hints can be found here.

http://www.protu-154.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6294 <-- that points to a FSX Beta version of the plane that isnt working

Is it me or is the site more boring than what it was my first visit or is there another thingy out there like project tupolev. I do recall one that had tonnes of russian planes but the cockpits where basically the normal fs ones with a diffrent background colouring I was so disappointed. But they did do everything in english and Russian I think. Can someone tell me if the 154 has a personalised cokcpit ive always been a fan of russian lpanes they have that soviet chracter that makes them seem invincible and tough. You have 35mins 10 secs form me posting this thats how long that download is gonna take me also does it have auto installer. Cheesy

PS there forum english bit has the manuals in ther ein english. In notpad so none of that really annoying adobe.

Do you mean the now-dead Flightsim Kranoyarsk?

They have been largely replaced by www.avsim.ru (get cyrillic phrasebook ready) and a few type-specialized sites (Project Tupolev, SCS)

AFAIK SCS has an autoinstaller but no good english manual... shift 1 is the starter panel and shift-2 does the fuel
