Wow! Is this model FSX compatible? Does it have a VC?

Anyway, nominated.

Thanks for the nomination "Frequent Flyer".

The model is made for FS2004 only by a group called "Project Tupolev". It has a fully detailed exterior model, 2d panel, and full virtual cockpit.
Keep in mind that this plane is a full systems simulation, and that it it is even used at in the main Tupolev OKB headquarters building as a procedural trainer. Remember this is freeware too!

The PT website is here:

The Tu-154M is their latest offering, and is being continually updated. They also have a Tu-154B2 available, which is not quite as complex as the newer one, but still is takes some getting used to!
They also host on the main site a basic IL-62. On their forums, they host SCS's Tu-134 model, and support for Samdim's Tupolev jets.

Both 154 models come with a very thorough, easy to read, and understandable English language manual to help you get up and running with the model. I don't speak a word of Russian, but I was able to become very proficient with this aircraft. All it takes is an open mind!

Regarding FSX usage, there is an unofficial FSX compatible exterior model out there, but I'll let the actual team speak for themselves:

Thanks for the interest,
