One of the easiest ways to help is to improve the scenery in your local area by placing buildings/structures using the UFO and submitting them to the [http://scenemodels.flightgear.org/contribute.php FlightGear Scenery Object Database]. It's easy, and best of all requires little time to have a real impact. Instructions on how to do this can be found in the wiki, [http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/Placing_3D_Objects_with_the_UFO here]. | One of the easiest ways to help is to improve the scenery in your local area by placing buildings/structures using the UFO and submitting them to the [http://scenemodels.flightgear.org/contribute.php FlightGear Scenery Object Database].

Those who have enjoyed the highly realistic Antonov AN-2, which Yurik V. Nikiforoff (aka Yurik_nsk) ported from MSFS will be very interested in the latest aircraft to come from the Russian FG community. In this case it is an updated Tupolev Tu-154-B2, a mid ranged 3 engined civil jet, and looks like another highly realistic simulation - don't expect to start it without reading the manual. You can read the full announcement and download the aircraft from [http://yurik.flightgear.ru/tu154b-release/announce.html here]. | |||
This is a conversion from [http://www.protu-154.com/index_e.html Project Tupolev], and is freeware under the Project Tupolev license. Note that is not a GPL aircraft, and is only loosely related to the tu154 present in FG CVS. | |||
The aircraft should work on FG 1.9.1 and CVS. At time of writing, I was unable to test the aircraft on CVS due to an error in the FDM. However, I'm confident that this will be resolved, and the aircraft will live up to the very high expectations we now have of Yurik and the rest of the team. | |||
