AN-2 Queries

Poking around in My Library I found the MS/ATS AN-2 from FS2020 labelled as Disabled. So I Enabled it and loaded it up in FS2024.
At the moment I can't get any brakes to work, [hand or park], & I can't get it above 50 kts so she just gets off the tarmac & then slowly eases back down.
I can remember in FS2020 it used to do a 3 wheel departure around 45 kts & was enjoyable to fly.
Anyone got it going in FS2024 & had any of the brake or airspeed issues?

I've had that exact issue with the power on every flight I've tried her on so far. Just enough power to get off the runway, but then shortly after it drops off.

I had the same issues with the Blackbird Corsair but have been completely working over the flight dynamics and have a good flyer now. A number of important things have changed from sim to sim. Probably not a simple fix. Be aware that there are a lot of easter eggs in the default bindings, some of which could be causing issues. I had one that every time I extended the gear the engines would stop.

If you can get into debug in Dev mode you can evaluate both drag and HP/thrust values and see if the issue is there.
 
Its odd. The throttle advances fully & the RPM looks ok, but not enough power. I wonder if prop control is reversed?.
Have you got a Park brake or any form of braking?

I wondered the same thing about "reversed". I'll double check the brakes next time

Prop control did not appear to be reversed. I will try the FS2020 AN-2 & in particular look at the RPM & Manifold Pressure gauge movement range, comparing to FS2024. I noticed in FS2024 that the RPM seemed to move most off the throttle rather than the Prop lever, but I need to take a closer look.
I think the FS2024 AN-2 is a drag through from FS2020, by MS/ATS, & not a 'repurposed/updated for FS2024" aircraft

The AN-2 in FS2020 flies at up to 100 kts & went well.
The FS2024 version is still stuck around 55 kts with speed dropping away, so I have parked it until a fix turns up.
