Antonov An-2
(Russian nickname: kukuruznik; NATO code name: Colt) is an extremely durable, light, single-engine biplane which first flew in 1947. It is used as a light transport capable of carrying 14 passengers, and for parachute drops and agricultural work. Its extraordinary slow-flight capabilities make it supremely suited for short, unimproved fields, and some specialized variants have also been built for cold weather and other extreme environments.

George Diemer's flying boats are all great. Just search for "diemer sikorsky" to find them on Flightsim.com

My favorite is the Inter-Island Airways Sikorsky S-38. It fits right in to Bill Lyon's Golden Hawaii. The file name for this variant is s38molo4.zip
 
I have been flying the AN 225 by Tom Ruth (look for Tom Ruth at Flightsim.com or maybe here, not sure) after seeing it in the movie 2012. This is the big six engine jet with twin fins. It is a great model with working flaps, spoilers, spoilerons (guess thats what you call those upward deflecting flaps that pop up with aileron control to help turn the plane,,the P 61 Blackwidow used them also) and other toys such as lots of opening hatches and nose. Almost forgot,,the wings flex and move.

If you download it also get the very nice panel at the same place.

The one in the movie was called an AN 500 for some reason,,maybe a make believe new model that had a rear drop down loader. Funny though that the airport was being demolished and the biggest plane on the tarmac didnt have a scratch :)


This is a bare metal paint job for it I am working on.

I just found another nice model myself!

FS2002/FS2004 Varig Lockheed L-188 Electra II, registration PP-VJU. The Lockheed L188 Electra II certainly stands in the running as the crowning achievement of the age of the propeller-driven airliner. It was fast, powerful, quiet, comfortable. It seemed to be a natural feature of the sky. By J.R. Lucariny.

[SIZE=-1]I do have a couple of issues with her though. I'm thinking about swapping out the panel for the one in the FS-KBT Orion until I find something better, and I'm also going to copy that plane's engine parameters. This civie version is modeled as a pure jet. While that works well for the Tu-114, I'm not as thrilled with it on this one. But other than that, the model is quite nice and she behaves well in the sky and on the ground.

Hi Tom! Check out this brand new panel by Fraser McKay. It is designed for J.R.Lucariny's L-188 model. Beutiful work, but **** is needed!!

I have an issue with the Tupolev 154. It results in a CTD trying to load the VC version and the fix is not available any more....

Thanks - I'll give it a shot. I tried changing it over to a t-prop, but the prop animation is somehow keyed to only work as a jet. I could start the engines up and go flying, but it looks a little strange with static props!

Sir,

Obtain version 2.02, and all CTD issues should vanish.
http://fs-proteam.com/products.html?op=one&id=16&pw_patt=catalog

I fly this aircraft all the time, and have not encountered those CTD issues.
If for some reason they still persist, the English-language support forum is very active and will respond quickly to any inquiries.

Good luck. It's a very challenging aircraft to master, but it is worth it!

Hello Sean,

I have version 2.02! The fix is mentioned in the forum but the link is dead.

I'm afraid that the only thing I can suggest then is to post a query in their support forum to see if they'll assist you with the issue.
It's an addicting aircraft once you get used to operating it, and I wish you the best of luck in getting it to work on your system. I'm sure it's pretty frustrating at this point.
