Technical Highlights of the Airlines 400 Tu-154M
- 32-Bit Texture Resolution: The finish has been crafted in 32-bit format to preserve subtle shading and accurate color gradients.
- Dedicated Tri-Jet Layout: The real-world Tu-154 relies on three rear-mounted turbofan engines, enabling reliable operations on shorter runways.
- Authentic Airlines 400 Livery: The exterior design includes correct markings, vibrant logos, and visual fidelity aligned with actual operators.
