February 25Feb 25 The video narration should get an award for being the right balance of to the point, engaging and funny. As for the aircraft itself, well...I'd wait for the updated M version. And for a virtual crew to assist me. Edited February 25Feb 25 by Bjoern 7950X3D + 7900 XT + 64 GB + Linux | 4800H + RTX2060 + 32 GB + Linux My add-ons from my FS9/FSX days

Was unaware that this oldie had been upgraded for XP12 - nicely done - that said I am with Bjoern - need a virtual pilot to assist - complicated little bugger is it not!
February 26Feb 26 Having flow Tu154 from PT for FS9 I didn't really know much about the system, just do the steps... IMO virtual FE doesn't really that needed, like most 3 crew aircraft 727/742, FE just set and forget before flight, as long as nothing went wrong, it's even better than 727/747 as fuel management are also mostly automatic anyway. As for pilot's work, the AP is good enough and even came with AT and GPS, what else you'll need anyway...

It IS a highly complex machine and I dive into its systems primarily because I want to see what it was like operating it. I am really not very good it, but admire the people who flew them. Just because I fly GA and am familiar with Boeing systems, doesn't mean I have any idea what I am doing in a Tu-154. 🙂
