FS2004 Nicaragua Air Force An2T

This freeware repaint immerses you in the unique livery of the Nicaraguan Air Force on Tim Conrad’s Antonov An-2T. It is intended for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 enthusiasts seeking an authentic regional military texture from Central America. Steve Baldwin created this texture set and has thoughtfully adapted every detail to represent the appearance used by the Fuerza Aérea Nicaragüense, reflecting the real-world usage of the An-2T.

Special Aesthetic Details

The Antonio An-2, often called the “Annushka,” is one of the most recognizable single-engine biplanes designed in the late 1940s. Even though its configuration might seem dated, its ability to operate from unpaved fields, carry cargo, drop paratroops, and perform agricultural tasks showcases its remarkable versatility. This repaint by Steve Baldwin accentuates those robust features by replicating the markings seen on Nicaragua’s Air Force operations, a detail that offers both a historical and operational touch to your flights.

Installation Instructions

• Decompress the “texture.nic” folder, then place it inside the main “An2T” folder within your aircraft directory.
• Open your An-2T aircraft.cfg file and insert the configuration text below, ensuring you increment fltsim.XX to the next number in sequence.

description = First appearing in 1947, the AN-2's was first dismissed as obsolete, due to it's biplane layout and homely looks. But the "Annushka" would prove the naysayers wrong.... and how! The biplane layout proved itself, and there wasn't much the AN-2 couldn't do, whether as a passenger, cargo, parachuting, crop spraying, or spec ops plane. Over 20,000 were produced, mostly in Poland. Not bad for an "obsolete" design.

Base Model Requirement

This repaint package does not include the original aircraft model. To take advantage of this livery, download and install Tim Conrad’s Antonov An-2T base model separately. You can locate the necessary files in the Fly Away Simulation library under the name ANT2PPP.ZIP.
