Flying Supersonic. Tu-144 'Charger' v3.5

Does anyone know how to disable the joystick hat switch in the Shift+5 utility? It is conflicting with EZdok.

I don't know...But if you disable the joy's hat...maybe the problem with the view appear again. You can delete all your config in the utility and setup again without config the hat.

Agreed. I suspect you may have view problems if you remove the hat switch capability (if you even can). I don't use the "EZdok" program you mentioned, but considering how user unfriendly this addon is to begin with, I'm not confident that it will work properly with it.
 
Hi!

I have start up the "Charger", as posted here; but when I go to move on land, the plane doesn't turn into taxiways. :frown-new:

The joystick is set, following the steps described here.

Yes.

It's strange, the Z axis in my joystick, is the RZ axis in the Charger... Any issue with this? :icon_question:

I assume you have troubles with steering? On my configuration from Russian manual, I made it to work both rudder and elerons work together same axis.

Check your joystick setup. I had the same issue and I found that I couldnt move in ground because my previous setup was deleted.

This aircraft is amazing but, like the real Tu-144 have a lots of bugs (or marvellous features :biggrin-new: ).
 
I've noticed when loading it that you have to do the following:

1. The aircraft MUST be loaded in 2D panel mode before switching to VC mode. This is the same situation with the PT Tu-154B-2. There is a setting to check within FSX itself (Display - Aircraft).
2. Upon loading, you should see the main 2D panel. I recommend moving your view with your hatswitch or doing some other minor joystick function in order to get the addon to recognize the joystick profile for that session, prior to switching views.

I have the aircraft working wonderfully with my X-52 and Saitek rudder pedals, and have been thinking about transitioning to my Saitek Pro Flight (Yoke/Throttle) systems as well (though you cannot map each engine individually as far as I can tell).
 
Even knowing Russian won't save your headaches. The navigation is not clear and many features are not explained. Perhaps I'm spoiled by Project Tupolev quality but I don't really feel secure in a plane that I don't understand fully. Unfortunately same headache was for Aeroflot and it's pilots in real life due it has similar issues. Very buggy and might do the unexpected any second which means the flight is a constant horror. The Tu-144 is not something I'm proud of having once had. And on top of that refused to take out of service before loss of life started to happen.

English documentation is clearly not enough and has tons of errors, but still very appreciated by the people who made it and I'm not critizizing them as they have done very good work. Just I do not expect any english speakers to have correctly flown this aircraft on a long haul?

What about Tu-134, anyone mastered that? It's a plane I'm considering doing an "angle of attack" style video documentation on it's system and operation, navigation and of course the real aircraft. Also considering recompiling a full manual for it. Wish I could say the same for Tu-144 but if not even it's real world pilot understood it fully, neither will I. Aim of this? To boost popularity of the SCS Tu-134 in the english community for hopefully bigger support of it's developement. I talked with people on making a similar package for the Tu-154 (obviously also for free) but I do not think it's needed as it seems most people who fly the Project Tupolev Tu-154 fully understand their aircraft with help of the manuals.

Where can I download the Tu134 (and what FSX fixes are necessary?)

Ah here: http://scs.avsim.su/tu134.html

Thanks!

That airplane is for FS9. Adapted version (non original) for FSX is here: https://yadi.sk/d/oqPwe4_1bW9Xu

It does have bugs as the SCS wasn't developed for it, particularly with autopilot. I recommend flying this aircraft in FS9 as it'll have the full benefits there.

P.S, regarding video tutorials (I copied over my text from another forum):

Video tutorials package for Tu-154B-2 and the newer Tu-154M is confirmed, will cover both groundwork and flightwork. Complete tutorial of NVU system undecided. I talked over with a friend but it's an extensive project and will cover the Tu154 completely, hence if anyone wants to help or be a part of the team it would be very welcome.

The tutorials will most likely be done on a combination of different simulators and hopefully project will start already next week (I want to keep my mind busy from things other than girls and vodka

). If anyone wants to help, (even if you don't know anything about Russian aviation or Russian language), please contact me or respond to this quote.

Perhaps to make it more interesting for the average enthusiast, the location for training flights could be an airline in Russia, or Belarus... Maybe even completely different country? Also planning opening virtual flight school. I have plenty of time...



Yes, small change of plans :)
 
Thanks vl82m for the videos. I understand perfectly your speech. :encouragement:

I want to fly the Tu-134A3 but the lack of documentation in english, spanish, french....is an Iron curtain.

I hope video tutorials for Tu-134A3 will realise too, and very likely will be in detail after the completion of the Tu154B2/M project. I never knew a full description of the simple APU took 10 minutes so things such as navigation and electrics, autopilot will be a headache...

The information for Tu-134A is almost nothing (even Russians have some problems) although I have a few manuals in english if you're interested:

Thanks everyone who offered setup advice and translated the manuals! This is one of my favorite aircraft, and I'm looking forward to trying it out soon! :D
