Further development of the Tupolev-134-LK for FlightGear

FlightGear (http://www.flightgear.org) is an open source flight simulator that is even used in flight schools to train basic maneuvers, radio communication and navigation tasks. It is free available for windows, mac and linux.

In this article I want to introduce my further development of the Tupolev-134-LK (Tu-134LK).

New Features

My latest commit was made in 605 changed files with 347,933 additions and 2,476 deletions: https://github.com/HerbyW/Tu-134LK/commit/af68ac35030ba6e95d6925b4003028152e5502ee

I have added now the full instrumentation with lots of working instruments, you see the yellow markers, they are clickable features. Here is the new and the old front panel:

The new and old overhead panel:

And the new and old navigator and engineer panel:

The 3D-model work was done in Blender, instrument functions are set in xml-files and some nasal scripting in nas-files. During some test flights the autopilot got a new logic for glideslope approach. Slats are added in the yasim FDM and all values of the fuselage elements have been checked and adjusted.
An other big step was the manual start up which is now possible with ignition, generator and starter switches, in the original version the engines were running at start up.

Roadmap

Next will be the MP sound and an automatic flight control system to perform parabolic flights for purposes of creating short-time weightless and low gravity environment.
