Project Tupolev Tu-154B2 for FSX version 1.3 released!!

[ce_zeta]

Lower overhead not so crowded, which is the lonely right switch on the lower head part you are talking about?... The ventilators switch? The window heat switches and pitot heat switches remained at their locations, nothing changed. Under them, there is NDB/VOR select switches, and then the lonely ventilator switch. (Ventilator unfortunately not modeled). The difference is that the heating system is now upgraded and can support individual functions.

My mistake, I did not realize these switches weren't included in previous versions... I'm too used to flying in the VC where they used to be some kind of dummies. Now, pitot heat operation is very important, switch on all of them but not until 3 minutes prior to take off, to prevent them from overheating. Turning them on before pushback is extremely not recommended. Window heat, turn on whenever you like... If you forget to turn on pitot, your airspeed indicator will freeze and indicate a speed of zero, if this happens while the plane is on autopilot and you're not paying good attention this would quickly end up in a serious air crash incident due to the followed behavior by the AP.

Tested and working fine on FSX Steam Edition. If anyone is having problems, try going to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\FSX\SDK\Core Utilities Kit\SimConnect SDK\LegacyInterfaces

And install ALL 3 SimConnect interfaces. Solved most of my issues.

Thank you Vlad.

Well Kirill Said that the M model will not be developed at this moment. The external model is only a gift.
Only 2 developers are working on this project.

Fascinating aircraft simulation, I think immersion is up just because its a little known one over here in the West.

Certainly is, and it's nice to see a renowned, highly accomplished payware developer recognize this freeware contribution. I think what makes this addon even more impressive is that the team consists of only two people! A complex, Soviet jetliner (system simulation) created by two people...wow!

Hello guys, i download and installed this great plane to study it, but i´m facing this problem:

For me, the first suspicious thing is that i´m trying to use it with FSX Steam Edition. Does anybody knows about incompatibility with this version? I already installed the old FSX sinconnect version.
I had the previous version of the plane 1.2 and it worked ok in FSX MS (The old one)

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks

 

[ce_zeta]

Looks like a bad installation.

Try to reinstall. If it's not solved, download again the exe.

 

[flaviossa]

Did a new download and the SRC is the same as the installer i tried before. Did a complete clean of the files (Comparing with a instalation i did in a temp folder), installed again with no errors. Started FSX SE with hope in my face, give the permissions to all the gauges, clicked "fly" and....... the same.

Here are the gauges that asked for permission and i gave:

Any other suggestion will be great. Thanks!

 

[Stefano Zibell]

See my post on the first page, you actually need to install all 3 (three) versions of simconnect provided. Also, you need FSUIPC version 4.938a or superior. Link here.

Good luck.

Edit: Actually, you may try UNinstalling the simconnect version that comes with FSX:SE in such a way that the ONLY simconnect versions installed on your PC are the legacy ones.

 

[ce_zeta]

Also, remember that this complex simulation requires a gauge initialization in 2D.
In settings, set Defaulft cokpit view to "2D instrument panel".

 

[flaviossa]

Hello! First i thanks a lot to ce_zeta and Stefano Zibell. Their suggestions hit the spot! Precisely what is concern in sinconnect packages. Installed them and it did the trick.
What a great comunity we have here. Thanks!

Second, the TCAS gauge insists in not turn on. In the "90 modern wide panel". I think it´s "disabled" yet, correct?

I remember the TCAS was a problematic gauge in the previous versions too. Any detail to make it works?

 

[vl82m]

TCAS left and right power switches and processor switches in overhead on?

 

[ce_zeta]

Great Flavio!

Well,developers said in avsim.su that they are working in a patch to correct some bugs (CTD and copilot airspeed indicator for example).

 

[vl82m]

It's the MSVCR90.DLL crash that they have found the cause, and will fix it. This crash happens mostly with Russian operating systems but I believe maybe some of our western friends also suffer from it. I have bug and will wait for patch.

Every update of this aircraft seems to be buggy but is thankfully fixed in the coming weeks... And it's free! Much better "customer service" than many of the payware developers who release broken products later to not give a damn about the customers.

Hi Folks!

Project Tupolev strikes again!!!

Release Note from Kirill:

Enjoy!!

Thank you so much for this! I always love high-quality freeware made with passion and this fits the bill.

Mainly, I want to thank Project Tupolev for putting the source code to the KLN90B in the public domain!

I did a compilation last night with no problems. I intend, as time allows, to make some fixes and improvements to it. I'll be glad to share them. Just no promises on when as I'm deep into another development project right now. But I love the KLN90B, and I'm sure I'll find time to tinker some with this one.

Thanks again!
Dutch

What kind of improvements? Many people tried, it's hard somehow but not impossible. However the developer Kirill isn't particularly interested in the KLN90 or any GPS himself so I guess it's up to the community to work on that device. Navigation with I-21 INS or the Soviet NVU system is generally more stable and less prone to CTDs currently.

Great news Dutch!
I hope that you can fix the PT KLN90B. I love too the KLN.

Vlad, Kirill and Grei have enough workload and the KLN isn't critical for the Tushka.
The PT KLN is very interesting for the entire community.
