The only thing I promise is that I will take a look.

In June 2007 the Li-2 HA-LIX visited the DakotaFlyin at the Aviodrome in Lelystad. It was the first and the last time I ever saw a flying Lisonov Li-2. Sunflower was one of the main sponsors to get this aircraft back in flying condition. It now wears a historic Malev livery. As you can see the livery differs slightly from the one on the decals

Good evening Huub,

thank you for your answer.
Happy that the plane found your interest.
I have found a lot about the history of this particular plane.
So I have done my one repaint in the historic Malev colors (as good as I can).
The panel is finished I had to make some compromisses with the posibilities of flightsim and my knowledge.
But 2D panel and VC do match to gether. On one side I tried to keep as much from the original panel, on the other side to make it a bit less heavy I did delete the Astro and drift nav systems as not of use within our days.
I hope to make it possible to finish the pack as a stand alone aircraft to be released for eastern.
I made a control flight from Munich Riem to Budapest just using my old german rolling map (Cant use anymore the gps on my flightsime - oneor to minutes later crash to black screen and frozen fs) all went well. A bit work to controll the engines not overheat when climbing to 5000 meters. to cross the alps.. But for me more interesting than to Fly an airbus or boing from a point where I have nothing to do to another point where I have not more to do LOL

Best regards

Good evening friends,
sad news. My Li-2 HA- LIX makes trouble.
She works fine on my pc, but when I wanted to try her on the stick from Erik. When his FS starts before I can choose a plane FS stops with the fault message that viuslfx.dll is the cause..
The original LI-2 does not cause any problems. So I implemented just the new paint, the new panel and the new sounds -plash the same problem
there are more than 200 gauges (a lot are used several times, that's the reason about so many) and to find out which gauge causes the problem - - - - PFFFFFF
So I wonder if I should release her as a "testplane" to see if other user have the same problem or not. or forget it simply?

Best regards
Michael
 
Painting is the simple part.

Work in progress. The model has a weird issue. From a distance the alphas won't work....... So the aircraft is only reflective when you are close...

Cheers,
Huub
 
Its a bit weird, but the real HA-LIX doesn't have the typical "cowling" plates in front of the engines. So I had to work around this problem. I think I managed to create a rather convincing illusion of an engine. But in the final package I will include both the texture for a blue plate with a red inner plate and the texture which masks the plate with the illusion of an engine.....
