Yeaphhh, I felt in love with a Tu154 from Balkan that I downloaded from flightsim.com   What a nice
aircraft, 1st of all I like to say that I'm crazy about Russian planes so I downloaded let's say the whole
serie of Tu's 154 and 134 and they are realy amazing! All the details they have are incredible and the
Panels and sound hmmmmmmmm I love them! !!

My 1st flight was from Moskow to Kiev and Sochi on a nice sunny day. After looking around in the cockpit
(everything is written in Russian) and trying to understand all the instruments because altimeter is not in
feet but in meters!!! and the same for the speed gauge who is in km/h and not in Kts!!! Anyway, after starting the
engines and getting my taxi clearence I taxied to the active runway and when pushing the trottles to takeoff thrust
I realized that the engine and cockpit sounds where the best that I ever heard in Fs2002!!! After takeoff when
retracting the gears you can hear the pilot saying something in Russian that the gear is retracted and secured
(my guess) Looking from outside and seeing the smokie engines of this wonderful bird during takeoff is one
off the most exiting moments that I ever experienced in FS and let beat my heart 10x harder   The climb of
the Tu until cruising altitude was ok and the aircraft is very stable. Trying to land this bird at Kiev was even easier
than expected!

To resume the whole story, it was a very exiting flight with an exellent and very fine detailed ac! If you want
to experience it go to Flightsim.com and search for the Balkan Airlines Tu 154 B2 and download the whole
package (panel and sound files included) and you will not be disappointed!

Did you have any experience with one of this russian ac's? Are there any other admirers here?

I would also say thank you to the developers for their good job!
