Thanks for the synopsis and fantastic document, Michael!

Michael,Thanks! Just what I was looking for =)Jaco du PreezProject [email protected][a href=http://www.projectopensky.com" target="_blank]Project Opensky Homepage[/a]

I get an error when I try to open the Eng version of the document. It states that the Acrobat viewer can not decrypt the document. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?Joe

Joe,I just checked it again, working fine here. Are you using the latest Acrobat Reader Version 6.0 ?Michael

Michael.Tk U for the suggestion..that was the problem. I was using a v4.0 Reader. I downloaded a v6.0 & the problem disappeared. Again..tksJoe

Michael:I'm new to this forum. Could you tell me if this Tu154B2 model is for FS9 as well as FS2002? I started to install but it routed it toward FS2002 and not reading Russian I was afraid to re-route it to my FS9 folders for auto installation.Thanks,DD

Hi DD,Welcome to the forum =)I'm not Michael but I am able to answer your question.The Tu-154B-2 works in FSaCoFJust point it to the FS9 folder as you mentioned. Also be sure to grab the two update files to make the panel/plane fully FS9 compatible.They are:pt_tu154_update_v9.3.exeAvailable here:http://tu154.avsim.ru/model/pt_tu154_update_v9.3.exeandpt_tu154_update_v9.3.1.exeAvailable here:http://tu154.avsim.ru/model/pt_tu154_update_v9.3.1.exeBest regards,Jaco du PreezProject Openskyhttp://www.projectopensky.comhttp://www.projectopensky.com/banners/Jake_banner_avsim.gif

This is a great model! Thanks for heads up. I had almost spent $35 for the IGFLY Tu154. I will definitely hold off for now.Has anybody seen a Siberian Air Livery for this model? I didn't see one at the livery link. Would love to have one as I had the chance to ride one a couple years ago.Thanks for a great new forum!DD

The link for the manual is dead

Well there's a surprise after nearly ten years!

Thank you for the fast answer

The manual has already been included with the FS2004 and FSX versions of the Tu-154B-2 for years now. It is usually located in a folder called "Project Tupolev" in your main FS folder (FSX in my case).
