This freeware add-on introduces a Tupolev Tu-204PS90 in Arkhangelsk Airlines colors, crafted with 32-bit textures for FS2004. It delivers an AI-friendly model that is also fully flyable. The base aircraft and original textures come courtesy of AI Aardvark (AI204RR.ZIP), with repaint work by Mike Pearson. Arkhangelsk Airlines, based in the north of Russia, once operated such TU-204s on regional and medium-haul routes, making this rendition a fitting representation of their fleet.
Overview
This Tu-204PS90 offers advanced accuracy for both AI operations and direct piloting. Its design captures the signature lines of the Tupolev fuselage. The textures are brought to life in crisp detail. Pilots seeking to enrich traffic patterns will enjoy its AI functionality. At the same time, users who wish to personally handle it in FS2004 can do so comfortably. This versatility ensures that it suits multiple styles of simulation.
Key Features
- Accurate Arkhangelsk Airlines livery, rendered with 32-bit resolution.
- Dual-purpose use: helpful for AI traffic and suitable for manual flight.
- Configured to match Tupolev Tu-204PS90 specifications (medium-range capacity).

- Repaint contributions by Mike Pearson for extra authenticity.
Technical Notes
The Tu-204 platform (often recognized for its PS90 engine series) provides strong performance in medium-haul segments. It matches Western counterparts in design principles. This release preserves engine placements, tail geometry, and aerodynamic profiling to achieve realistic handling. Indexed mapping allows for the high-definition paint job to remain sharp at diverse viewing angles.
