New FSX-Native Complex Aircraft: Antonov An-24RV

[SeanTK]

New high fidelity release. Still a work-in-progress / beta but probably more fully featured than some other final releases already.


Antonov An-24RV







This is a work-in-progress conversion of Felis' formerly payware-now-freeware An-24 for X-Plane, with his permission.
For a flight manual, I am using the one included with Felis' XP model since it really is the same plane: http://felis-planes.com/an24rv/downloads/

That's the Avsimrus link as it's a more familiar website, but there is a slightly newer/fixed build already out there via their forums.....

It needs the freeware KLN90! http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/the-kln90b-for-fsx-prepar3d-in-beta.432845/

Third-party liveries for the X-Plane version also work great for this one. All you have to do is flip the texture sheet vertically (upside down) and save as DDS DXT5, then do the usual folder creation and aliasing in the aircraft.cfg. Check Food Lovers Specials and Game Specials. Here's a link to an Interflug livery that looks fantastic in my FSX right now: http://avsimrus.com/f/x-plane-liveri...lis-34698.html

I also attached English-cockpit textures to this post! They are converted from Felis' model, ready for FSX! Put them into whatever livery folder you choose and overwrite the old ones.

Third throttle arm is for the APU engine. Yeah, it's weird. This aspect isn't functional in FSX as far as I can tell.

EDIT: Also see the bottom of my original post for English cockpit textures.

Glad to see you again! Sean.

Thanks for the additional Info!

Thanks Sean! I've downloaded the relevant files and will install shortly.

Thank you very much for the new links to the update.
I did read that the third throttle is for a jet booster?

Not so crazy. The RU-19A300 turbojet installed in right nacelle of the RV variant not only serves as an APU, but also adds 800 kgf of thrust on takeoff. Hence the fully-fledged controls.
