Very nice prop texture, Caz.

It complements this beauty very nicely...

Anybody know if the textures for the previous Colt would fit this baby or is it a new paint scheme altogether ?

OK ! I've found the answer to the first question and it is "NO" it doesn't fit ... Now, for the second part of my search...

Is there a paintkit in the house... :kilroy:

Cheers,

Fleurdelys
 
I finally got around to doing some proper flights with both the wheeled & ski versions. Fantastic flying bird.

Thanks Cazzie for the prop mods!

Grab the AN-2 by Xomer at Avsim RU (Talk about a nice VC). The sound file is awesome. You get all of the funky AN-2 startup sounds. If you've heard one start up, you know what I mean.
 
Nice shots Flyboy....:medals:

I really like this latest AN-2, it's easy on frames, looks great and flies like the real 'bucket' that it is...lol:applause::applause:
Thanks Vladimir Zhyhulskiy and Roman E. Krauss fo this superb model, and thanks Cazzie, for the new prop. :icon29:

This soundfile on Flightsim is also very good:

Last september I was passenger on a AN-2 in Lufthansa colours. Would be fun to be able to use the same plane in FS. If someone is looking for inspiration for a repaint, the paintscheme looks like this: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Deut...1599257/&sid=954c3c8ba98be5fe68e578f8a2cac738

I wish Vladimir had modified the animations of this bird.
Currently, the external power unit appears depending on the level of the mixture. If it's at 0%, they appear, if it's at 100% they dissapear. Unfortunately, even when the mixture is a 90%, those objects are already there !
It makes it hard to fly at high altitude. As soon as you start lowering your mixture, your external view is screwed :bump:
Nothing critical of course, since the stuff is not visible from the VC. It's just that you have to put the mixture back to 100% everytime you want to make a screenshot :)
