The Antonov An-2 (also known as Anushka or Colt) is a very strange aircraft. Designed as an agricultural and utility aircraft, it ended up doing almost anything an aircraft could do, from crop dusting, to parachute dropping. It can land on short, unpaved runways, will survive the harshest winter and the most gruelling summer and endure the heaviest abuse. No wonder that it was build up to 2001 event though it looks very much like the 1950s aircraft it is.
And those looks are spectacular. It’s a massive, single engine bi-plane. As you walk closer it seems to get bigger and bigger until you are under the cockpit and look up to the massive radial engine. Take care here, oils leaking out is standard.
To make it work off-airport the An-2 needs to be simple and easy to maintain. So, there are no complex system – but there are a lot of simple systems. The cockpit is a sea of switches making learning to fly an An-2 not an easy task.
This version for P3D 4 depicts that complexity in great detail. You will have to click a lot of switches and wiggle a lot of controls to get the engine to run smoothly. With an impeccable flight model you will be soon cruising the skies at a leisurely pace while dropping oil and making an incredible racket. It is a lovely aircraft!

This is an Amazing and funky airplane. Beautifully designed on all fronts! A real rivet counters dream.
This huge slow single engine biplane not only looks great and has incredible detailing but is also fantastically simulated in its flight behaviors. It feels as unique as it looks. Not at all like anything else.
The manual is a must read even though it’s barely intelligible. It’s done as a hand written manual with countless diagrams and outlines, all difficult to read. I managed to push through and learn to fly this plane after a few terribly unsuccessful first tries before learning the in and outs. Now I can fly this plane just fine and so glad to do so.
No cabin views but plenty of cockpit views. The audio is seemingly understated, but upping my volume helps.
Quick tip. Get familiar with the oil and engine flap controls, as well as the corresponding gauges relating to their temps. Carb temp is crucial too. Thankfully Carb Heat can be adjusted very precisely unlike most planes with just on/off switching.
Such fun.
FSX Steam Win 10 Intel i7 3.2ghz 16GB ram Intel 630UHD integrated gpu. 128mb dedicated vram, the rest is shared and not a problem one bit. Great frame rates even in dense scenery areas and add on airports etc.
This model seems rather complicated, but actually very interesting for using, studying of the An-2 as such. There are many advanteges of this product:
-Pretty good dynamics
-Awsome visual model
-High-Resolution textures
-Simple and practical menu
-Friendly FPS
-Custom gauges and detailed process of start up an engine.
Best Regards, for the developers! I want to wish them success and patience in their project
