    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Hey, Carl - is this your new Annushka?

Just announced - a new AN-2 Annushka upcoming from Aerosoft.

Carl - is this the ride you've been waiting for?

Details and screenshots in this thread.
 
Wow, what a surprise. Its a model of Octopus-G (Wilga was published by Aerosoft and it was done by Octopus-G)!

Even more surprising is that Mathijis just posted (here, in another thread) that the AN-2 is NOT the mystery aircraft now in late beta, that they've been teasing. Am seriously wondering what that'll be.

How's Octopus-G on flight dynamics? I seem to remember hearing good things about the Wilga. Alexander's FDE for the Sibwings Annushka is going to be hard to beat. But I'm willing to take the risk to cure my Annushka withdrawal...
 
WOW! This is good news indeed- THANKS ALAN, I will be watching this CLOSELY!!

I didn’t fall in love with her for her looks, so I can’t wait to hear about her flight characteristics.... the SibWings An-2 has set the bar high indeed.... Hopefully the designers have flown her as a base line...

If we are very lucky they will hire Alex or Bernt for the FDE... then we’ll be LAUGHING!!

Surely our Carl would not be so turncoat as to fall for the attentions of an impostor Annushka?

Will he have to do the ORBX World odyssey all over again?

What will he murmur in her ear when he is flying her in low vis, as darkness falls and they both strain their eyes for that elusive strip to land on - the same as he said to his dear Sibwings variant?


How fickle love can be. :encouragement:

Let us know Carl. :adoration:
 
Good news! Always thought that Octopus will never release this plane. Will have a closer look. The cockpit looks pretty cool.
 
I know that an AN-2 cockpit is an AN-2 cockpit but the cockpit above and the SibWings version look so dang familiar that I thought it was a straight copy.
 
Ganter-

All I can say about my affair with the Annuschkas, is that I have been very busy, behind the scenes.... I'm not the kind, who kisses and tells :)

Best- C
 
That's odd. Wonder if it's a forum glitch or some other sort of glitch. Glad you grabbed the screenshot - otherwise I'd wonder if we'd hallucinated an Annushka...

Seriously hope that this doesn't mean there's some issue with the project.

Am I alone in noticing Carl has now started referring to his Annushka(s) in the plural!

Carl, you old two-timer! :biggrin-new:

I'd like to know how you found the update as I went to their FB page (I don't use FB) and managed to see the AN2 there and a few comments, some mentioned lack of support.
At any rate, Where can I find this update and what is the version number? Thanks :teapot:

I used their update and it did not work for me. I installed to P3D V3.4. The AN2 works fine in P3D V3.4 - now this updater says it cannot find the installation of the AN-2.
 
I just tried running the AN-2 updater, but it said nothing to update.

The updater is in your FSX root folder: FSX\Sibwings\AN2\updates\updater

Was there another place you were looking Cees, or maybe did my updater not work?

Thanks - Rob

I think the updater is programmed to find FSX - I had to install the AN-2 to a dummy folder and then copy/paste to the main P3D folder and the effects etc, over to the appropriate P3D folders.
