Classic British Flight Sim

Aerosoft just released their new Antonov AN2. The question is, is there enough in this to warrant an upgrade from my ageing Sibwings bird????

So far only a P3D version available at $35.99 / Euro 30.20

And only P3D v4 at that. They say a 32-bit version is forthcoming. Not sure if I'll ever buy it, but one thing's for certain - you can't go far wrong with an Aerosoft model.

Not one for me I'm afraid. I had the Sibwings model but only flew it a handful of times. One of the few addons I regret buying.

Dave, was there anything in particular about the Sibwings one that you didn't like, or was it just a general thing ? I have considered getting it in the past.

Just personal taste Paul. It's an excellent model, just too slow and complicated for me.

Yes, a bit slow getting from A to B, isn't it. In fact, in a stiff headwind you probably go from A back to Z. The fun starts with the STOL landings into small strips, but it takes so bloody long getting there. I saw one flying at Duxford a few years back and even in the light breeze, it was almost a static exhibit.

It's a solid add-on - I really like it. The work involved in getting it airborne isn't for everyone but the short field performance is amazing, apart from where I landed without the air resevoir having enough brake pressure and ran through a fence at the end of the runway....
Not for your casual Ctrl-E pilots, but it does have that option. Suggest starting with the Polish version - at least the switches are written in English!! Its actually an improvement on the Sibwings and comes with customer support too!!!

The FS-X version is available now but I'm still not sure if I'm going to retire my Sibwings version in favour of this....

Used to have an An-2 in FS2004; now deleted, and I can't recall who made it.
All I have now is Gary Jones' sound file in my "Power" folder.
