Tupolev Tu-104D-3Nk8 (Tu-154 unbuilt early prototype)

Auto Credit Based on vonhubert's Tupolev Tu-104d-3 0.28

Just understood that i have a finished but not uploaded plane. Built together with @asteroidbook345.

That is a project Tu-154 grew from. At first it was planned just like a development of Tu-134 from Tu-124 - lengthen the Tu-104 fuselage, modify the wing (this time they added spoilers) and move engines to the back, swapping 2 turbojets for 3 turbofans with thrust reversers. Initial project was later totally remade with new wider fuselage, new triple slotted flaps, slats, spoilerons and a primitive electronic stability system to became a Tu-154 as we know it.
Here is an original's blueprint:

This is a complete update of my previous planes controls, as i made a new system of controlling the spoilers. Now they have two predefined positions as inflight airbrakes (at AG3 with stabilizer control tuned to compensate pitch up more or less automatically) and ground spoilers (mated with thrust reversers at AG1)

Controls
G - Landing gear;
AG1 + THRUST - Thrust reversers + Ground spoilers. Activate than INCREASE thrust, like on real aircraft). After slowing down to 20 mph put throttle to 0 than deativate AG1. Spoilers simultaneously deploy full and underfuselage airbrake is retracted (if it is deployed by AG3 before).
AG2 + VTOL slider - Flaps; (0% = Flaps retracted, 50% DOWN = takeoff position 100% DOWN = landing position)
AG3 - inflight airbrakes - activates spoilers on wings on half elevation + under fuselage spoiler. If AG1 activated after AG-3 - it retracts airbrake below fuselage and deploys all wing spoilers full.
AG4 - Aileron trim (VTOL Up- roll left, Down - right). If AG 7 is active (directional autopilot) - it also activates a gyro roll controll with VTOL for gentle turns
AG6 - Landing. Lights;
AG7 - Ascend autopilot (Activate and set trim for ascend/descend. Can turn gently, than stabilizes
AG8 - Ground steering (sensitivity adjustment, when AG8 deactivated - steers to the limit, when activated - steers 5 degrees) Positions - AG8 - ON on Take off/Landing/In flight, AG8 OFF for the ground movements

Approach at 55-60% thrust, adjust trim when necessary. Near the runway drop to 35-40%. After touch down - activate AG1 and INCRESE THRUST to 100% until 20-30 MPH, than apply brakes.

Take off trim - about 50% UP (at the slider)

mods are not necessary, you will just lack some eyecandys

    @killyridols Hi! Surprisingly, i'm just currently remaking it from the ground up.
    But it's really hard to make it work fine without a simplewings mod.
    It basically flies like shit in that case, totally arcade like
    And also the issue is that i've made completely new wings for it and for the last at least two months i cand get it (and an older remake of a normal 2engine tu-104a) to fly straight, it rolls a lot.

    There is a good plane without mods i've made relatively recently, i think you may like it as well, give a try.
    CV-990 no mods with autopilot and autoland
