I think one of the reasons your channel is so successful is just the genuine passion you have for aviation, from a viewers perspective it’s instantly noticeable that you genuinely love putting on streams for your followers. Everytime you grease a landing you are genuinely exited by it and it’s just so so refreshing! Keep up the fantastic work you are a treasure to the not only the flight sim community, also the aviation community 👍🏻
Here's a bit of FYI for anyone wondering about the proper use of autothrottle in this aircraft: 1. Use of AT is PROHIBITED during cruise, climb or descent. 2. You can use the AT during automated approach once you slow down to 400 km/h but should always disconnect it before flying manually. In general, Tupolev's autothrottle was notoriously bad at doing it's job and was mostly not used by pilots (Felis did a good job of simulating that so you are pretty much always better off controlling the thrust manually). There was a famous disaster in 1981 caused by the 154's AT messing up the thrust setting during approach and essentially turning a passenger airliner into a dive bomber (the AT wasn't the ONLY reason the plane crashed, but a major contributing factor nonetheless). The captain couldn't react in time and 99 lives were lost. To not leave on a sad note I'm going to add that any simmer familiar with this aircraft knows how hard it is to pull off a landing like flightdeck2sim did here. Well done! :)
Hi WackyFlights! Felis informed me about A/T usage many moons ago, as mentioned in the stream I was using it "illiagally" to increase my capacity, it's especially hard to read the speed on that gauge in a desktop sim so having speed managed on approach makes it much easier! All the best! FD2S
In UK, you fly Alpaca. In Soviet Russia, Alpaca fly you! On a bit more serious note, the realism could be turned up a notch by making the livery say Алпакафлот (simply the transliteration into the Cyrillic alphabet of "Alpacaflot"). Алпакафлот ... масло каждый день! (Alpacaflot ... butter every day!)
Vraiment une super chaîne (je m'adresse aux francophones : suivez cette chaîne, l'anglais de ce cher pilote n'est pas dur à comprendre et c'est très intéressant). I love your channel Captain. Nice flight with the Tupolev!
Couldn’t really follow the stream because I had no wifi, but I’m happy to see you “fixed” nightbot for the giveaway. I had a feeling I unintentionally found a way to cheat ;)
Did you see him show off the bank rate with full aileron on short final? I think it's fair to give him a pass for not staying bang on centerline when the plane banks like a cruise ship, lol, especially with that touchdown FPM. I think it was a great landing
@@cx-wskitch4552 Actually I meant to say that it was a great landing and that he really had to work for it. Keeping in mind that he's not that familiar with this aircraft.
I used to watch a girl on twitch always flying FSX and then X -Plane TU-154. She was from Belarus or Ukraine. That 5-6 years ago. She was good at all the systems but her landings were always exciting to witness.
I think I may have flown on this jet before. In the mid-90s I flew Aeroflot from San Francisco to Alaska and then to Khaborovsk. The plane felt very old, so it may not have been this model. In my memory, it had a wooden door, but I don't think that can be true. The seats were definitely odd as if you leaned back too hard you ended up in the lap of the person behind you. We came in rather close to the mountains in Anchorage, sort of weaving our way through with quite dramatic turns, but it was the smoothest landing I've ever known! I could barely tell we'd touched down. Edit: I'm more sure this was the model, because I remember how weird it seemed for all the engines to be on the tail! It looks like my younger self may have misinterpreted the wall designs as plywood...www.skybird-ev.de/tour/north%20korea/tu154/tu154k.jpg

Альпака. With a ь (for pronunciation nuance reasons)
You'll have to urge your operator to get a fleet of TU-154's now after that absolute buttering.

Merci beaucoup pour vos paroles!

When you’re just so good at landing even when you think you’ll have a hard landing you just butter anyways
I can count a few streams where we definitely didn’t butter, remember it’s not the be all and end all!

@flightdeck2sim, nice landing. By looking at the replay it seems like you were struggling to keep the plane center-line during the final.
Did you see him show off the bank rate with full aileron on short final? I think it's fair to give him a pass for not staying bang on centerline when the plane banks like a cruise ship, lol, especially with that touchdown FPM. I think it was a great landing

That landing and reaction was indeed wholesome😄😄 I Now have an interest in Soviet era airliners...amazing!!👍👍
We need this plane in msfs 2020
There's a chance that it could be ported to MFS2020 from MSFX by Project Tupolev.
@@dimvajra5880 I'd hope so at the very least.
It would be even better if a whole new study level tu154 could be made to the standard of msfs.

my friend, do you remember the channel???
saluts!!!

Amazing vid
After that landing, I think you'll have to remove the "Are you a real pilot?" emoji... Cheers as always for the entertainment!
3 ошибки увидел)посадка фееричная)
Love the Vids... but it's TUP PO LEV.... not TU PE LOV. Sorry, had to vent! :-)
Is that Tu 154 or Tu 154m ?

klass danke
who else is from the stream
These things are absolute trash.
