FS2004 Romanian Air Force An2T 03

This freeware package delivers a unique Romanian Air Force color pattern for Tim Conrad’s Antonov An-2T, meticulously crafted by Steve Baldwin. It seamlessly integrates into Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 and showcases tail number “03” as flown by Romania’s military aviation branch. The iconic biplane arrangement of the An-2T remains distinctly visible, blending form and function for short-field operations. This specialized texture set is only compatible with the base freeware model (AN2TPPP.ZIP), which is available in the Fly Away Simulation library.

Antonov An-2T Remarkable Traits

The Antonov An-2T, introduced in the late 1940s, redefined multi-purpose utility within Eastern European aviation. Despite initial skepticism toward its double-wing layout, the “Annushka” demonstrated impressive adaptability in cargo transport, passenger service, agricultural runs, and airborne troop deployment. Powered by a single radial engine and renowned for its robust airframe, the An-2T excelled on short or unpaved runways. Although it appears retro in design, its enduring production numbers attest to its reliability.

Texture Integration and Setup

1. Extract texture.rom03 into the An2T directory located in your simulator’s Aircraft folder.

description = Originating in 1947, the AN-2 was initially dismissed due to its traditional biplane structure. Over time, it excelled in numerous roles – from cargo drops to agricultural duties. Production exceeded 20,000 units in various countries. This version features Romanian Air Force markings.

Additional Information

These textures are developed by Steve Baldwin, who based his work on the model by Tim Conrad. Please remember that only the external liveries are included, so obtaining the main freeware An-2T model package (AN2TPPP.ZIP) first is required. Once installed, you’ll experience Romania’s military styling on this rugged and versatile classic airplane often used for specialized missions worldwide.
