Flown by many Russian airlines and also CSA Airlines in the past, this 3-holer boasts poor fuel efficiency, a russian cockpit, and 777-type main landing gear. This rating comes with the 727 rating as a secondary rating.
There is a very challenging model on rikoooo.com for free. We hope you enjoy this new addition to the fleet! Long live the Mighty 3-holers!

Nice! That’s definitely interesting with the 777 style landing gear.

Now I have something appropriate to finish the Comarde Club with.

Be aware, this is a tricky aircraft for freeware. I've been messing with this one http://www.protu-154.org/index_e.html and have only found 1 video on you tube to explain how to start the engines (hint....it's lengthy). Since I can't read or understand Russian, this is a head scratcher for sure. FS2004 and FSX only though, not P3d v4. Pack more fuel than you think you'll need, as you'll drain the tanks on this sucker! Now if I can figure out how the A/P work. Anyone know how to convert meters to feet? Yes, the altimeter is in meters.

Hi,
1m = 3.281ft
Also, does this come with DVA life insurance?
DDP.

You may use any aircraft to fly any flight in our schedule provided that it is capable of making the journey with sufficient fuel reserves. The departing and arriving airport runways must exceed aircraft minimums.

Well I mean sure, it's just nice to be able to select from perhaps the vintage routes it would have been on.

здравсевуйте друг! In "Find a Flight" we have a nice selection of Modern Aeroflot and Historical Aeroflot flights. I flew a lot of these flights while doing the Comrade Club accomplishment. I don't think any are specifically assigned the TU-154 because this plane was not in the fleet when those schedules were added to our database, but there are certainly plenty of authentic Aeroflot flights on the schedule to fly it on!
