Tupolev 154 for msfs!

[buspelle 152]

I know, due to the situation in Europe maybe the question is bad/wrong, but I realy miss one of my favorits in flight simming (from the FSX/P3D days). The Tupolev 154! Does anyone know if there is some Tupelov 154/134 on the way? Or is all Russian airliners "not welcome" in the sim after the invasion of Ukraine?

Hope its ok that I ask

Best regards

A TU-134 is still in active development:

Flightsim.to and addon vendors like Contrail, Simmarket, etc are 'full' of Russian airfields and content.  Hopefully, I think most of us can separate our hobby out from politics.   (I say 'full' in inverted commas because there's historically never been that much content for Russia).

Just the one TU154 in development, as quoted above.  I agree the one in FSX was great!

Only one thing, the Tu154 as quoted above is a Tu 134.
Much the same name but not the requested aircraft model.

Project Tupolev was most likely the best freeware aircraft
model ever made for FSX and possibly the best altogether.

YMMV, of course.

The "situation in Europe" is as far away from the subject of an aircraft
model request as it is possible to get and if decisions on what which aircraft
should be made for a civilian flight simulator were based on politics, there
would be none at all. 

Thank goodness that is not the case.

Waiting for both of them ( TU134 and the TU154 ) aswell, there are a lot of good memories from the old FSX days..

cheers 😉

The author of the SimUniqueLab version (the payware P3D 64-bit  successor to the PT model, equally in-depth and beautiful too) previously was going to look into developing for MSFS but it would take quite a while. Not sure if/how the war and certainly reduced income would impact that: https://simuniqlab.com/

There's likely commentary on the Avsimrus forums but may want to email the person too.

In FS9, one of my favourite freeware models was a demilitarized version of the Tu16 'Badger', used for high-speed mail services across the USSR. I'd love to see that in MSFS. Also, a decent IL-76 'Candid' is way overdue.

Just Flight...I hope you're reading all this...

This is not the place for debate/discussion of politics, especially w/r/t ongoing wars, joking or otherwise.

I wonder if people of Iraqi descent were ever offended by others flying Boeing aircraft in flightsims.....

Just FYI. Soviet Union was not only russia and people who lived there were not only russian. There were many nationalities that are now  different countries. For example  Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakhstan used to be part of former Soviet Union, but now they are not.  So whatever USSR made was a multinational effort which often included different factories and institutions  located in different former republics (which nowdays are countries).

  I understand during cold war era Soviets were often referred as russia,n but that is just another hasty generalization. For example: creator of famous T-34 tank Mickhail Koshin and father of Soviet space program Sergei Korolev were both Ukrainians. So whatever was made in former Soviet Union belong to all people who used lived there.

You gotta ask them instead of wondering. I wouldn't blame them if some of them were

I have the say that the "!" in the title made me think a TU-154 was available...

[Vitold69 47]

Did my last flight as a passenger on 154 in the beginning of 2000's hopefully.

Is this from the same developer who flew off the handle when you asked for "mouse-over tool tips in English"?😃

Absolutely love the Tu 154 as well but it's future in MSFS looks grim. There's a redditor by the nickname Ablomis is building a Tu 154m for MSFS. He showcased the model, virtual cockpit and semifunctional engineer panel but the last update on his Reddit was 5 months ago.

SimUniqueLab stated that he would look into converting his Tu 154b2 from P3d to MSFS but no news about this for many months now..

The closest to release seems to be Kai31's tu 134a3 but it has been showcased on his youtube and on msfs forum for a year now and still no release date or nothing.

My ony hope to have a soviet aircraft in the hands is a Collab between Asobo and Antonov for a An22 maybe? As a famous flyer it would be awesome...

But no Tupolevs in sight sadly.
