FS2004 Aeroflot Tupolev Tu-204-120

This freeware release is a modern rendition of a Russian medium-haul jet airliner. It features a visually detailed exterior and an authentic paint scheme depicting Aeroflot’s latest branding. Sim pilots will find it suitable for realistic route simulations within many flight levels, and the inclusion of Rolls-Royce RB211 engines adds a unique element.

Aircraft Highlights

This Tu-204-120 variant uses Rolls-Royce RB211 powerplants. The engines [turbofan assemblies generating high bypass thrust] provide modern performance and efficient fuel capabilities. Designers crafted the fuselage in Gmax for precise modeling. It shows proper dimensions and animations, which simulate everything from landing gear movement to control surface deflection.

The new livery replicates Aeroflot’s updated logo and color scheme. Textures remain in 32-bit resolution for sharper shading and clarity. Flight simmers will notice accurate reflections on the fuselage, as well as distinct metallic finishes on the engine cowlings.

Technical Notes

The Tupolev Tu-204 project offers a glass cockpit in real-world counterparts. This add-on’s visual model supports detailed window configurations and streamlined nose contours. The Gmax approach ensures a smooth airframe, focusing on polygon optimization and correct geometry.

Developers incorporated flight dynamics suited for a medium-range profile. Nearly all primary control surfaces respond smoothly, and the weight balance reflects published data from Tu-204 aircraft references. This approach helps virtual pilots plan routes and fuel loads more accurately.

Creators and Textures

This package owes its design to the dedicated work of Robert Versluys, who produced the main Gmax model and base textures. His efforts capture unique features of the -120 model, making it an excellent choice for enthusiasts. The repainter integrated Aeroflot’s livery into the 32-bit texturing system, which underlines the airline’s contemporary identity.
