AN2 Is Here

The cockpit looks absolutely fantastic ! :jump:

The download is a crime at the moment ( this piccie is up for about 10 minutes now,life..). But who wouldn't want a VC looking like that (Ok, some FMC boys probabely). And for only 9 euri's !

Good Luck! ;)
 
Hmmm, i was just about to trumpet forth the amazing and total superbness of the AN-2 model but now i'm not so sure anymore. I might hold off for a minute now...

Remember Oleg Antonov was Ukranian, not Russian, dvj.. (i certainly do understand your feelings, dvj..)

Btw, for anybody still recovering from the Clipper debacle, this Work Of Art will make you forget about that unfortunate interludium instantly. The difference between night and day has not been portrayed more clear in MSFS than the comparison between these two latest aircraft model additions. Where one costs 30 Euro and the other 9 and subsequently one goes to the bottom of the scale and the other to the very top.

EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about it!! The Very Best, All Singing and Dancing, All Bells and Whistles, Fully Fledched Aircaft Model has just arrived in MSFS !! ( along with the PMDG DC-6, same standard, same unmeasurable quality !)

Just saying, can't help it. :applause::applause::applause:

Start her up and you'll know ! :encouragement:
 
After a couple of quick flights, my impression is that it's well worth the $10.

The exterior and interior models are top-notch, the cockpit textures are well done, and almost all of the cockpit controls are interactive, although not all of them are connected to something due to MSFS limitations. I'm not a huge fan of the choice of exterior textures (they're well done, just a bit bland), but I'm sure that's and artistic/legal choice, and there's likely to be a bunch of 3rd party repaints.

My only gripe so far is that there doesn't seem to be enough drag (especially from the flaps) in the flight model, so getting the airplane to slow down and descend is substantially more difficult than it should be for something with the approximate drag level of a medium sized house.

The crash was because the Antonov would not slow down even though I pulled power a good 2 miles out. Ran off the end of the runway. So something not right with the flight modeling. Oh well. The beautiful young couple got an unepxected addition to their selfie. There were no casualities. Pilot and Co pilot can be seen frolicking on the beach below. Don't get me started on Pilots.
 
The price of the An-2 is abstractly low :biggrin-new:. For me it was about 10$. I had -33%, maybe it was an mistake? I havent idea. An-2 was on the sale from the beginning.

Oh....thought your screenie had something not to be misunderstood to say... Apparently i did just that.. Sorry... :)

Btw, my few landings turned out about the smoothest so far.. (just bought 1935 Redwing Lyon Bron too, grass strip. Extraordinairy beautiful. As we say here in Holland "my corn is blooming" ;-)

IMHO understatement of the week. Sorry.. :)

Please don't forget the soundsuit, one of the best here in MSFS, if not THE best.
 
Honestly something good after the Clipper, now the sound is very good, although I miss a little documentation, if it is in the sim I did not find it,
 
By the way, the engine start in P3Dv4 I personally think that at the sound level it was better, what do you think?
 
I was about to grab the AN-2 then I noticed that the price has jumped to $19 CDN, that makes it €13 or $14 USD.

Still not outrageous I guess.
 
The lack of flap drag is kind of odd, since the exact same thing is present with the Caribou, so I don't know if it's the same FM developer, or if there's something inherently weird in the SDK that leads to developers not adding enough flap to STOL airplanes.
 
Too many under-used aircraft in the hangar at the moment, so it's going on the list for later in the year. Looks very nice, though.
