I will post some screenshots in a bit. This thing needs a bunch of work. But it’s also SUPER challenging to figure out. Everything is in Russian (which is my native language that I speak fluently), but it’s horrible if everything you know about aircraft is in English and the acronyms for everything don’t make any sense. It may as well be in Hindi. The only thing I have managed to power up so far is a fan that blows on your face. Gonna watch some YouTube to figure this out. It doesn’t really come with any manuals. $42 is quite a bit for the package as it stands right now.
Hahaha! I will give this a shot! If you are a masochist and own P3D, I HIGHLY recommend Captain Sim’s Lockheed Martin L-1011 TriStar… THAT one has an ancient IRS navigation system where your waypoints are programmed by entering geographical coordinates of them.
I STILL don’t know what navigation system TU-134 uses. That autopilot looks wicked difficult too. Reminds me of the old Sperry Gyropilots on stuff like the Lockheed Constellation and Boeing 314 Clipper (both of which I own on P3D)…
I am just SO out of my league on anything that doesn’t have an FMC/MCDU system to program. Those things are daunting to me! To think of the pain all these pilots went through just to get from one place to another… Man…
I have a feeling the TU-134 uses VOR to VOR navigation. Like I said, I haven’t really looked much into what it takes to fly this thing. I DID get it in the air by using Ctrl-E to start the engines…
This everything is in Russian thing somehow reminds me of some Hollywood movies where a mysterious crew get into a Russian sub or airplane and instantly handles it perfectly to escape, on that degree of complexity I bet it will only be a quicker way to die
If you are interested and you can understand the Russian language, we can contact you personally and I will help you in everything related to the Tu-134. I always personally help users, and not only Russian speakers, I even had to communicate with users in Chinese using the Googl translator …
There is documentation in English in the VKontakte group Tupolev Tu-134. | VK
оr Redirecting...
OR Prepar3D [ P3D ] | Tu 134 | Tutorial | on English | Flight with RSBN | virtual CREW and navigator - YouTube
Or use an online translator, which is okay, because many people have their own language and many have to translate from English.
Thank you for your interest in my work, models and reviews.
Thank you! I will contact you if I have any questions after watching the tutorials! Nice to see you on here! And yes, I do speak fluent Russian (lived my first 15 years in Leningrad/St. Petersburg)!
Write to me in any case, I am always glad to talk with those interested in my work and Tu-134, as well as I can tell a lot and share experience and knowledge that are not in the videos and manuals.
I don’t speak or read a lick of Russian so this is probably not the aircraft for me, but it looks beautiful for a complex aircraft that’s a little different! Have fun with it!!
Alexei, one thing - every tutorial I watched uses the 2D panel to turn on the Akkumulator 1 and 2. I can’t find those switches in the virtual cockpit - I spent 30 mins looking for them everywhere. Where are they located???
