This Tu-114 features
-QANTAS Livery 1955
-WingFLex!
-Functional Instruments
-Basic Cockpit layout
-Pushback
-Contrarotating propellers (Loud too)
Note
The takeoff speed is about 277km/h, and cruises at around 770km/h at altitude of 10km, stalls at around ~190km/h [citation needed]. This plane can run on any physics settings as I have fixed the issue prevalent on the Tu-104 Project; Special Bogies, and what I mean by that, well in Tu-104, it uses pistons and causes shaky shaky movements on low physics, by removing the pistons, the bogies shake much less often if not never.
This is another experiment of mine if the community would tolerate or even acknowledge of replicas receiving liveries that is not even historical for that specific plane, like Air Koryo on an A380, or QANTAS on a Tu-114, I already know the answer but I want to see with my own eyes how far this project could fly. I doubt it would ever be as popular as the SARO Princess [still shocked from the popularity it gained] so my expectation is really low, like basement low, and when by December this somehow gets 15 upvotes, It'd be a miracle.
Anyways for you purists out there, there will be a Tu-114 Aeroflot published soon.

It’s so weird to see a Soviet airliner in a Australian airline livery
Put the aeroflot livery
This is the only detailed and beautiful plane that I found here on the simple plane website congratulations the plane is very cool it is very good for landing it helped me a lot to make good landings.
Cool
@jelybaca where did you find the blueprint that you used on this plane??
the best replica of my favourite airplane!
@jelybaca you mentioned earlier about qingyuzhou and bogdanx. But here are two reasons why I agree with only really using your planes for accurate simulations:
1. The planes you create
2. The lowish part counts
Explanation:
1. Yes, both of who you mentioned are awesome builders who can create incredible builds. But what they don't make (as far as I know) are these older aircraft which, in my case at least, I have never seen in real life. These models are accurate enough for me to base my opinion of these aircraft off of these.
2. I am a mobileish user. I use a chromebook. Therefore, I can't actually download Qingyuzhou's aircraft without my game exploding. Not only can I download these, but I can run them fairly smoothly on decent graphic settings.
Also, each and every one of your builds is done to outstanding quality. I also enjoy using your map mods you created. Love the build.
Cool!!!!!
@Dimkal Ah yes, and balloon the part count exponentially so mobile users cant enjoy it.
Look Dimkal, those are great insights, and did those things before; the wing triangulation, funky trees, and realistic performance but one way or another, ruined the project or lagged it severely.
The wing assembly method I use is good enough, its smooth and uses one to four parts per bend section whilst before (Triangle method) uses at least eleven parts per bend section. Check my Boeing 747-146, it consumes too many parts. But I do agree on your second point; I should double check all the moving surfaces before uploading because in fact, the rudder should move but got connected on the decals.
A fix should come soon for that error in a week or so, and I am glad you think I worked hard on it.
@jelybaca Looks good and I upvoted it because of all the hard work and the time you invested in it. But, for a user of your level and judging by your experience I think you should consider upgrading your building technique and being more specific:
1. Try the triangle method for realistic wings with sharp trailing edges
2. Make ALL control surfaces movable
3. Use more Funky Trees codes for smoother operation
4. Spend more time in making the build fly more realistically
I know all these are time-consuming jobs but I want to see more of you and I believe that you can build awesome stuff if you decide to upgrade your style.
Thanky
Your like the Russian plane expert lol @jelybaca
This map is cool, I’m gonna make a vedio with it.
Wouahhhhh , great build for a great plane .
@ACEPILOT109 I don't know, you're the designer, you know the intricacies of the interior of the aircraft but if I may, maybe a shoulder straight wing should suffice, since it t will be carrying heavy loads.
what type of wings should i use on my AAC? its soviet, see in my forum
@Vidal99977 that is quite the compliment considering users like qingyuzhou and bogdanx exists, thank you.
@THEAIRCRAFTCRAFTER not sure how my replica of the current largest plane [747-146]flew over you, but thank you.
@jelybaca look like this is the largest passenger plane you ever made
Fun fact: This plane was the biggest plane in the time of it's creation
@jelybaca that makes more sense. I find that I always make a small adjustment and then go on to either working on another plane or something else. Then I end up changing that thing for something else and so on hahaha
This is why I use only your planes for my little flight simulation on SP. They are such good quality as always.
That is a nice plane to fly.
@Mustang51 Well the livery took half a day, the plane itself was built on the span of one week, though didnt spent much time a day
@Tang0five Ah, glad you ask. So what I do is instead of building a new cockpit, new fuselage, new interior, new engine, etc for a new project. All components from Altimeters, to fuselage sections, to interior components, are saved as in the Sub-Assemblies and with ease of manipulation in mind. The dashboard from the Caravelle has served the builds I have created many times, and the entire nose section is spliced from the Tu-104 project, and the wing assembly from the previous Tu-95MS project.
@jelybaca my god only half a day? Bruh I take weeks to make anything half decent
Builds. (In so short a space of time) @jelybaca
