Sibwings An-2 SP-A00 requested... and more!

SOH-CM-2023
For those who remember, I am quite smitten with Sibwings An-2, which I believe might well be Alex Metzger's finest work to date. I have been searching for the Lux Memories Repaint for SP-A00 aircraft. Would a kind soul please point me in the right direction? If there isn't one.... Gordon, Yankees, Hani, Zolto et al.... any takers, pretty please?

BTW I have written an open letter to the Developers, begging them to re-visit this amazing creation and fix the few little niggles that remain. She is the most incredibly beautiful ugly aircraft I have ever flown in a sim... and scratches the GA low and slow itch to perfection.

If anyone is interested in adding to the plea.... http://forum.sibwings.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=1340 .

AM- if you read this- YOU HAVE DONE LOTS OF AMAZING WORK- but the Anushkka is just superb!

Ta!

I also love this big, ugly and slow aircraft.

My problem is that I cannot get it to work with FSX:Steam.
 
Yes, it is BECAUSE it is such an amazing aircraft simulation, and that the site is still up, and ALEX METZGER is still very much around... and it is TOO GOOD TO ABANDON, that I wrote the open letter to the Sibwing developers.
Please consider adding your support to the cause AT THE SIBWINGS SITE.

Meanwhile, if any of our talented artists would be agreeable to paint SP-A00 I would be grateful.

If you don't have it, I highly recommend the Sibwings Cessna Bird dog also.
They promised about 3 years ago that they would add a tundra model to this plane, as has been mentioned, the forums at Sibwings is dead.
It would be nice if they would drop a note at the forums and let their customers know what is going on.
 
Thanks Ferry.... I can see that, however, cannot write to them there, as I don't FB.... I was hoping that their website would be the proper place to try and contact them. I did send an email in addition to the "open letter."
Perhaps if several of us enthusiasts chime in together we will elicit a response...?

Ta!

Sorry, who is "they"? Is Sibwings becoming Octopus Simulations? The cockpit photo looks ok, but AM's flight dynamics are simply superb in the Sibwings model.

Do any of out talented painters have time to paint- http://www.an2.lu/index.php/en/ please?

Ta!

'They' are Russian community.

Nopes. Sibwings as a development company is dead At this moment. OctopusG is another flighsim development group. Octopus made the Wilga X for example, as you can see in his website.

Alexandr Petrochenko and Nick Sharmanzhinov (gauge coders, Alex was the lead coder) are missing.
 
A bad animation inicialization. Wipers moving, the altitude selector do not work (left rotary switch) and more that I dont remember ATM.

you made something special when u installed it?
 
Just checked and there is some odd behavior with some of the VC switches, but nothing that really distracts from flying the An-2 so far. But of course I like to fly low and navigate by the scenery in NL2000.

For me, the sound of the wipers running all the time is a No Go. :(

I use the An-2 in P3D v3.5 without this problem.... are you sure you're not hearing the fuel pump?


Ron A- hope you're feeling better? Any chance of you getting out your brushes for the old gal?

Reading your comments, last night I load the Annuskha again in order to investigate in deep. There are two annoying sounds, the radio-altimeter sound (sound like a clock alarm) and the wiper (sound like any car wiper) . I made some test....Radio altimeter, animations like windows and cockpit door doesnt work. In a few minutes, I was able to turn radioaltimeter off. Some switches (like wipers and radioaltimeter doesnt move but works). Surprisingly after some time...the animations works (which the exception of the radioalt rotary switch) . I was able to close the windows. WTF¿? I made screenshots cause I dont believe it!
