The Flying Vodka: Aeroflot 1704 from Moscow/Sheremetyevo to Vladivostok

[Sturmovik]

Welcome Comrades to my most recent flight thread. I flew on Aeroflot’s B77W between Moscow/Sheremetyevo and Vladivostok as AFL1704.

Departure took me from Moscow (did I say I flew out of Moscow?) all the way to Russia’s Far East. I didn’t see much because I spent the flight on cockpit view.

One thing I didn’t like, and which I knew would happen once I got closer to my destination, is that the AP did a steep 3000ft/m descent on the last two waypoints of my flight, DAGES and DINOR. To counter this, I made a 360° turn to give the AP time to level off and reduce speed, which had gone from 230kts to 280kts. In the end I managed to land safely at Vladivostok.

At our gate in Moscow:

Absolutely beautiful photos and route Russian Transcontinental flights are always a lot of fun to fly in IF!

I bet they’ll look even better when the new graphics drop!

Hopefully we can get a classic Russian airliner in the sim such as the TU-154 and/or the IL-18.

That would be difficult, those aren’t flying anymore and are in museums, and the pilots may have already died. Only option would be to check on other flight sims add ons and maybe copy their flight performances.

Both the TU-154 and IL-18 are still in operation (I’ve seen an actual TU-154 in operation. IL-18’s are out there still but a lot more rare). Would be tough to find pilots and data…but not impossible
