I’m a big fan of the Tushkas so I also hope this project is not dead.
I wish the geopolitical situation was different, I understand things are difficult.
If the situation you describe is correct than I wouldn’t be surprised. This is is not the first time the word piracy and stolen assets is brought to discussion in the eastern world development circles, what I don’t really understand is how this can affect Aleksei.
Aleksei, if you are reading this just forget the issue, a Tu134 for MSFS will give you thousands of customers and you will make a lot of money regardless of the free XP version. There are approximately 3 to 10 guys that will fly the XP version compared to thousands that will get it for MSFS. You will not lose a single cent from this.

I also hope this project isn’t dead, I would pay good money to have a Tu-134 in the sim. Been checking this thread weekly for an update, sadly it’s been silent for months now.

Frankly, I look at this as our only opportunity to fly a plane like this. Think of all the obvious, popular planes we don’t have. And yet there has been substantial progress made on a Soviet airliner?! It feels too good to be true.
I understand many people might not be as excited about Soviet planes as I am. I was reading some posts the other day by people wondering what the 777 was really going to add to the existing 737 experience. I’ll probably be buying the 777 anyway, but it’s a fair point. You’re going to get a lot of interested customers who appreciate how high-fidelity and complex your aircraft will be while also giving them a completely different, challenging experience.

I have a bad feeling about this.
Tu-134 for X-Plane (vk.com)
Post with a candle and a picture of Tu-134. The words read:
“Aleksei Klutchko - he really wanted to help, he really wanted to make things better. God doesn’t abandon his own.”
I have been trying to figure out what any of this means, but so far, the two common friends on social media that he’s been in contact with haven’t responded.

I’ve been reading the whole article and I’m really looking forward to flying it. I hope everything goes well so I can fly this beast and test its power. You have to give it your all, Kai! Greetings from Chile 
We believe based on prior posts elsewhere that sadly this developer is deceased as of last year. I would not expect any further developments.

That’s very very very sad and tragic.

Deceased? I hadn’t seen anything about that
