FS2004 Abas Air Antonov An-2 OK-JIH

This high-precision repaint brings the Abas Air OK-JIH markings to the well-known Antonov An-2 biplane for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. It preserves the essence of a classic single-engine utility aircraft while enhancing your AI traffic experience in a seamless manner. This release includes textures only and requires the corresponding base model from Fly Away Simulation’s library to function correctly.

Refined Visuals for the Legendary An-2

The Antonov An-2, first flown in the late 1940s, is recognized worldwide for its sturdy airframe, large wingspan, and notable short takeoff and landing (STOL) performance. This repaint, created by Miloslav Wolf, captures the distinct Abas Air OK-JIH scheme, which features unique detailing on a classic radial-engine biplane. These textures maintain crisp resolution while faithfully recreating characteristic fuselage markings, tail insignias, and subtle weathering effects.

Technical Repaint Details

This freeware add-on livery targets the RWAI An-2 model, authored by Rysiek Winawer. The paint kit was meticulously developed by Nikolai Samsonov to ensure accurate color placement and sharp decals. Consistent texture alignment has been prioritized, guaranteeing that AI aircraft fleets match real-world liveries as closely as possible.

Applying the Livery

1. Place the included texture.OK-JIH folder inside your “RWAI An-2” directory (or equivalent). Since this is a repaint only, remember to download and install the base RWAIAN2.ZIP package beforehand from Fly Away Simulation’s extensive library.
2. Open your aircraft.cfg file within the An-2’s folder. Insert the provided [fltsim.xx] block of text, ensuring that you adjust the “xx” to the next available numeral. Accurate numbering is crucial for avoiding conflicts with other installed variants.

Defining Characteristics of the Real An-2

In actual service, the An-2 stands out for its generous wing area and robust Shvetsov radial powerplant. Many operators praise its reliability in remote or unimproved airfields, thanks to its low stall speed and substantial lifting capability. This texture captures the authenticity of that rugged aesthetic, making it an ideal choice for simmers who appreciate historically significant and flexible designs in their virtual hangar.
