FS2004 UT Air Tupolev Tu-154

This creatively enhanced livery add-on showcases UT Air’s color scheme applied to the Tupolev Tu-154M, providing a crisp, high-resolution texture set in 32-bit format suitable for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 (FS2004). It retains all the signature details of the original Russian tri-jet design while seamlessly integrating with your virtual hangar. Created by Victor Schacht, with the repaint meticulously executed by Michael Pearson, it captures every subtle contour of this historically significant airliner. Although it is a freeware release, the core model is not included and must be obtained separately from the Fly Away Simulation mod library under the filename AI154PAK.ZIP.

Livery Complexion and Aircraft Background

The updated external textures highlight UT Air’s distinct branding on the robust Tu-154M platform, a notable Soviet-era aircraft recognized for its characteristic trijet configuration. Designers at the Tupolev bureau originally crafted this model for medium-haul service, and it saw extensive operation across Eastern Europe and beyond. With these repainted fuselage and tail-fin surfaces, simmers can observe authentic shading transitions, crisp lines, and intricate identification markings that reflect the real-world UT Air appearance.
