OK, like I promised, here is the comarison of both models made in ACM: model "by Sapogi" and model by Kirill Konovalov Of course all the liveries made for Kirill's model do fit to "Sapogi's" one. It looks like he was not able to get VC out of the original model, so he tries to build own one. In case of deeper investigation I would be able to offer the original model to admins for comparison, but only under Kirill's agreement. Otherwise I can provide you with test livery of Kirill's original model, it will fit to Sapogi's model perfectly.

Momtchil, at the moment I was aware of one really good project of Tu-204, started by Project Tupolev, all other "tries" are unknown for me, so this is the reason why I was wondered about your words. Nevermind. I contacted Kirill, let see if he want and will say something. Like I said, the model was never released officially, so Sapogi could get the model in an illegal way only, and to prove this I'll compare both models in ACM.

That's exactly what I talked about. I'm not sure what do you mean? There were many attempts (projects) to create Tu-204, the longest one is our, but inside our team there has been never conflicts, Sapogi is not member of our team, NeshRik too. So what you are talking about?

No, you didn't. Sure, NeshRik has reused some foreign work, but he always mentioned, which parts are not his own work. Opposite to you. What about model? You got somehow the model by Kirill Konovalov (which was never released), decompiled it, touched some minor pieces and now it's your's?! I know Kirill, and I told to him regarding your model, he never gave you a permission to reuse or to rework his model. And regarding competition - LOL. momtchil, you will never get confirmation from NeshRik, because like I said, for NeshRik it's doesn't matter, who uses his work. The only important thing is - he is the author, not Sapogi. Regarding model I can arrange the email of Kirill for you (but I think you can find it at your own) so you can contact him.

shc_04, can you post here you sound.cfg? I ask you for this because I'll never download this Tu-204 package, but I have contact to panel developer AND to XSS gauge developer, so they can have a look on your problem. Or send it to me as PM.

Like most other people too. No, some other guy just developes these Tu-204 gauges Sapogi used in "his" model. Just look on avsim.su, there is a special topic regarding this project too. This VC does almost nothing to do with real aircraft. Wrong forms and dimensions. The author was already notfied about that. I think after 9 years life time of FS9 even freeware models must reach some level. But of course, I can be wrong here. As for previous poster I can only repeat my words to you. I understand, there is no Tu-204 model which can satisfy even a beginner and this "model" looks like the best what we have. Sorry, but this not the case. I wouldn't never say an evil word about this model if I didn't knew where it came from originaly and the author wouldn't release all the parts as his work only. He is neither alowed to put screenshots of foreign panel here, nor distribute it with his model. It's his luck, that the author of panel is relaxed regarding distribution.

It was not the project of Kirill Konovalov only, he was only the modeler, and there are more people behind it. And yes, you are right, it's not nice to say crap to flightsim models, unless the modeler didn't use work of other people and releases it as its own. Regarding your problem: you miss the "Sound Server Gauge", you can find it here www.avsim.su/f/fs2002-pribori-8/xml-sound-server-1-2-0-pribor-dlya-kastomnoy-ozvuchki-vnturikabinnikh-zvukov-fs2004-30004.html Sorry, the gauge seems to be present, there are some configuration issue. Can you post the sound.cfg here, mentione in the error message?

Guys, sorry to perhaps borrow you with this, but this model is crap. First this is not original work of Sapogi, he didn't created this model from scratch; second he is not the author of the panel and gauges (but in fact, he mentioned it here once); third there is an another project ongoing (but first for FS9) with more precise simulation of original aircraft and based on visual model by Kirill Konovalov (just look on some topics on russian avsim). In fact this project runs too long (at the moment for about 3,5 years), but we are all bound to or job and home, so I hope it excuses us a little bit Screenshots will follow, just track the topic on avsim.su
