Before you go on ahead and read the description, first I would like to thank Qingyuzhou for being kind and granting me permission to use his reverse thrusters for this aircraft. Go check him out! He has tons and tons of outstanding aircraft replicas!

After months of waiting, I finally present...

General Information

The Tupolev Tu-154 (NATO reporting name: "Careless") is a three-engine medium-range narrow-body airliner designed in the mid-1960s and manufactured by Tupolev. A workhorse of Soviet and (subsequently) Russian airlines for several decades, it carried half of all passengers flown by Aeroflot and its subsidiaries (137.5 million/year or 243.8 billion passenger km in 1990), remaining the standard domestic-route airliner of Russia and former Soviet states until the mid-2000s. It was exported to 17 non-Russian airlines and used as a head-of-state transport by the air forces of several countries.

Complete List of Controls

Ag1=Rotating Beacon Light
Ag2=Navigation Lights
Ag3=Strobe Lights
Ag4=Landing Lights
Ag4 + Brake= Reverse Thrusters
Ag6=Fuel Dump (Dumps about 40% of your fuel)
Ag8=Enhanced Flight Physics (DO NOT TURN OFF)

Set flaps (VTOL slider) to 1 notch down and set throttle within 80%-90% and rotate at around 160kts IAS with trim applied. Once at a reasonable speed, retract flaps and trim.

Set throttle at 60% with full flaps and full trim. The landing physics of this aircraft are very on point and makes it way easier for the butteriest landings.

Creator Notes

I have announced that this plane would be the next build that I would be taking about 3 months ago. I have then started, working hours a day for this masterpiece. The model is 90% accurate to the real thing but its physics were completely broken. It took time, effort, trial, and error, until one day it all stopped. I stopped playing this game because of things that were going on in my life and around the world. COVID-19 is the main reason why this build was heavily delayed. I was stuck in the house with no phone to work on this build. Months lasted until the quarantine was at last lifted. I could finally finish the Tupolev.

And here it is, done and ready to fly. I hope that you enjoy flying this aircraft and I also hope that everyone is ok in the current worldwide situation. Again, hope you all enjoy this creation. I will post some more in the near future no worries.
