BTW, this is not my paint. Just a port into the float model.

You need to adjust the entry of the aircraft.cfg and the texture.cfg inside the texture-folder which you add to the new variant.
As a sample - if you add one of YoYo's great repaints - SP-AOO to the 12seat-variant you need to change the parameters below
[fltsim.XX]
title=Antonov AN2 SP-AOO
sim=Antonov_AN2_AMM <----- the new .air
model=12seats <----- the new model
than go to the SP-ASR-texture and copy the texture.cfg to the SP-AOO-texure, overwrite the old one or delete it before.
that's all

Gave what you recommended a try and it worked perfectly.
We'll be moving some textures from the Sib-Wings An-2 folder to the 12-passenger folder shortly.
Does this work for the more specialized textures, such as those with floats or skis - or do we have to copy them from one of the originals in the "floats" or "skis" folders, place it into the new texture - then change the .cfg as you showed me before?

Ah, ok. That explains it. I never switched on the intercom circuit breaker during my tests. Glad it worked out for you.

Unfortunately it isn't so easy as the transfer to the wheeled models because the swimmer-textures are splitted to at least 3 different texture-files, as far as i notice. Did not try the ski-model until now, so i could not say something about it.

Those repaints are updated for new model, soon on ATS website: http://atsimulations.com/ .
The newest is SP-KAA (done in april 2019).

Fireball6 - I just saw that paint kit come out w/the skis and the floats in it.
There are a lot of parts distributed through the three new texture files. If you want to equip one of these aircraft with, for example, floats, is it necessary to first load all three textures files into the chosen aircraft texture file, then change the paint kit textures to the right format using an appropriate tool? That is, do all three reworked texture files need to be in each conversion I do? The appropriate model file in the pertinent aircraft should be able to sort things out from those three files, is that correct?
I have a question re: changing the color of the floats or skis to match the aircraft that can be dealt with later.

It is a bit tricky to do that this way - there are some differences in the textures - as a sample, the belly-shadows from the float model are not the same as the one from the wheeled models. That means, you need to adjust them manually unless Andrey will update the paintkit again with a new .psd-file for texture 3. The Floats are simple - as there is a .psd-file for it, so it is easy to create a color of your choice for them. The same happens to texture 5, if you want to use an existing paint, you have to create a new texture 5 which matches the colors of the existing paint and then you can copy and paste the parts that are different.
I try it yesterday and find it very time-consuming - especialy the adjustment of the belly in texture 3 is "special" for an exsisting paint.
Today i start my own complete new texture-set for the float model - much easier to do ....

Hello- again I ask for a sticky... not sure why the delay, but I am hoping one of our Administrators will finally take action.
Thanks!

Well it turns out I did and I'm pleased. I like the flight model and the ski and float versions are a great addition. Well worth the discounted price if you are a Sib Wings AN2 user...
