..one way to make it known, is make a wee bit of noise around its
hydrogen sibling: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-155 ;o)

..and the interior too?  Way different for the 155 and 156.
On the FDM side, the hydrogen and proposed methane fuels are 
liquid at these cryogenic pressures and temperatures, and 
the 155 carried common hydrocarbon jet fuel as back-up.

Excellent news indeed! I read the good news in the forum last night; had some 
sweet dreams :-)
I'm reviewing it for inclusion in fgdata, as we speak.

Cheers,
Gijs

 This is terrific news. Big thanks for the hard work, and especially for going 
for GPL in the end! This will easily be one of the showcase planes of FG.

[Flightgear-devel] Tupolev 154 goes GPL

2013-07-08 Thread Yurik V. Nikiforoff

Hello All Flightgear developers!

It has been almost 5 years since Tu-154B first appeared in FlightGear. Now, 
after years of development and bug-fixing, release 3.0 is available - and it is 
GPL compliant and Rembrandt ready!

Unfortunately, many FlightGear pilots do not even know this airplane exists. 
The reason is, the Tu-154B is a converted version of Project Tupolev's Tu-154 
originally created for MSFS. It was not GPL compliant, and, thus, not 
available on the FlightGear page for download. Till now.

We have now been allowed by Project Tupolev to distribute Tu-154B under 
GNU/GPL. In addition, the model has undergone major overhaul regarding the 
Rembrandt project. It now provides a full specter of real lighting, for both 
exterior model and the cockpit.

You can download Tu-154b ver.3.0 from here: 

http://yurik.flightgear.ru/tu154b-release/tu154b-3.0_jul2013.tar.gz

You can see some screenshots here:
