Textures:
DDS textures are used, using DXT1(no alpha) compression
where possible, otherwise DXT3. No Mipmaps are included, this
proved to yield best results in terms of sharp and crisp textures.
Original 32 bit BMP textures may be downloaded from
http://samdimdesign.free.fr/ and other sites, look for tu114ins.zip and
install_tu126.zip
Glass cockpit:
In addition to Tupolev Tu-114 1959 Khruschev a
Glass Cockpit variant is provided. It is fiction of how
Tu-114 might look like upgraded with western avionics.
Glass cockpit is convenient when flight crew of 5
is not available to you.
The glass cockpit pfd, mfd and autopilot
gauges are aliased to stock b737_800. Further, two new
custom gauges are included: Vertical/lateral nav display
and Fuel economy display.
Vertical/lateral navigation display elements:
Turn 360: Time to will fly 360 degree turn, in minutes
Turn Rad: Turn radius, in nm
FPA: Flight path angle, in degrees
Alt hold: Distance remaining to reach current AP Altitude hold, in nm
Fuel economy display elements:
FOB: Total Fuel On Board, in gallons
FF : Total Fuel Flow (burn), in gallons per hour
Endur: Endurance time, in hours or minutes
Endur: Endurance range, or how far you can fly with remaining fuel, in nm
Effi: Fuel efficiency coefficient, in nm per gallon. The higher the better.
Tu-114 can be flown at 0.10 - 0.14 nm/G giving 6000+ nm range.
