 Yes, but parametrized help, for several screen sizes, take too many times for 
 tune text position, cause I can't reload nasal script on runtime...

Doesn't need to be parameterized (in a 2D-panel). Just store the
position as normalized coords (0/0 in the lower left, and 1/1 in
the upper right corner), then use /sim/startup/x-size and y-size
to calculate the actual coordinates. Of course, a 3D or at least
2.5D panel would be preferable.

 I think, if users will complain about size, we can put extended livreas to 
 another archive. We even can put sounds separatly too, and use default cessna 
 sounds (one string in -set.xml file). 

Including the sound is worthwhile. But I don't think that the
gyro spin-up sound needs to be 16bit/Stereo (having 4.5MB alone!),
when not even the panel is stereo (3D).  :-}

According to my memory people didn't fall in love with the proposed

Hi Yurik,

Seen that in real life already, with a huge silencer attached to the
exhaust  :-)
The model acutally works for me, not only with Flightgear/PLIB but
with the current OSG-based binary as well. There are still some
transparency issues with OSG, but that's a different story 
The explanation of the startup procedure (and the procedre itself) is
extremely well done !!

One thing I'd like to have fixed before adding the aircraft to CVS is
the VRP, the Visual Reference Point. This is the point that FDM and 3D
model have to agree upon to be their common point of origin for all
geometry related operations.
With your AN-2, the FDM places the VRP close to (or maybe at, I don't
know exactly) the center of lift whereas the 3D model has its VRP at
the nose. The result is that, when you apply big movements to the
elevator in flight, the aircraft rotates around its nose like a wagging
dog tail.

In order to fix this you have to apply an offset to the VRP that moves
the center of lift of the FDM to the same location in the 3D model.
Unfortunately I currently can't help you here because I'm trying to fix
the same issue with an aircraft that's already in CVS - and I yet
didn't succeed to do so  :-/

There's a trick to visualize the mentioned effect. Toggle an external
view, look at the aircraft from the side and activate the HUD. The
center of the HUD will point you to the FDM's center of lift. You'll
see, it's pointing to the nose of the 3D model.

Cheers,
Martin.

I think the 3D-Model and the FDM fit together, the model rotates around 
the c.g. (in air). The cause for the rotating around the nose is only 
the reference point, where the camera points to.I don't no if this point 
is defined in the xml file or in the .ac file, but it is not a mismatch 
between 3D Model and FDM.

Hmmm... VRP stay at 0,0,0 - you may see it at an2.xml. 3D model shifted (by 
6.2 m by X ) to this point in an2-model.xml. Imho, both points is right, 
cause:

If there is mismatch between ref points, rotation of model will wrong, you are 
right. I spend many times for tune center of rotation. Main reason was wrong 
position of long parts, outstanding from fuselage, for example, gears. If 
refs point was wrong, gear was sink under ground, when craft begin rotation.

I remove this effect (by put ref point to right place), but there is small 
mismatch - you can see it, look to gear on landing. May be, it shoul be tuned 
more carefully...


 The result is that, when you apply big movements to the 
 elevator in flight, the aircraft rotates around its nose like a wagging
 dog tail.

Airplane rotated around his center of gravity. It is near the nose, you are 
right, but it's right. FDM count CG at 160' from nose.

You can open MSFS, load this model (there is link about original model in xml 
files), open payload menu and look at graphic. In another sim, CG will near 
the nose too.

yard which he on occasions starts up and make loud noices with just for the
fun of it. So even a blind man can start up an AN-2.

But I noticed that there is a 3D cockpit (without instruments) in the
model, viewable from the outside. This however doesn't appear in the
cockpit view for me. Is that switched off intentionally, by mistake, or has
it something to do with my rendering setup?

And regarding manuals for the aircraft: Since this is the most manufactured
aircraft in the world, there ought to be manuals for it in plenty of other
languages than Russian. (or Ukrainian -- The Antonov factory is located at
UKKM near Kiev in Ukraina. Zoom in on the satellite image on the flightgear
MP server map or google earth, and you can spot another famous Antonov
aircraft standing on the apron: the AN-225)

I found one translation to English (from Polish, they say) of the AN-2
manual here:
http://www.tailwheel.nl/airplanesal/antonov2/manuals/index.html
But before you all download the 36M pdf file: unfortunately it is passworded
-- no mentioning of that on the web page. (not that pdf encryption is very
strong...)

Yes, you are right. There is 3d cockpit for An-2, but not animated, and 
without instruments.

May be, I set up it later, or it will be done by another people, who like 3D 
cockpit. Now it disabled, but you can open it if you want.

Did you find you were flying at a particularly high angle of attack?

You may have been flying it on the back side of the power curve. 

To test, try forcing a higher rotation speed on take-off or diving from
height and then going to level flight.

Of course, you probably already knew this.

BTW, is coffin corner another description for the same thing, or am I

You must mean this (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_An-2):
If the engine quits in instrument conditions (blind flying when you
can't see the ground) or at night, the pilot should pull the
control column full aft (it won't stall) and keep the wings level.
The leading-edge slats will snap out at about 40 mph (64 km/h), and
when the airplane slows to a forward speed of about 25 mph [40
km/h], the airplane will sink at about a parachute descent rate
until the aircraft hits the ground.
(That actually works in the sim)

Yurik:
There is something funny with the propeller pitch control. I can't get it
to the minimun 17 pitch except with idling engine. (looking at
/engines/engine/thruster/pitch) And at start-up, the propeller is set to
max pitch. (Pitch control may go backwards and depends on engine rpm)
Perhaps that explains the start-up problems with a 136 prop? It acts like
some kind of constant-rpm propeller. But the AV-2 is a plain variable pitch
propeller -- I mean the pilot sets the pitch directly? No fancy stuff there?

I guess because of its size. The 'largest' aircraft we currently have
in CVS is about 16 MByte - uncompressed size of the respective aircraft
subdirectory.
The An-2 has more than twice the size and the person who adds this to
CVS is at risk of getting criticised for his move

The cause of that is the lines defining minrpm and maxrpm in the propeller

propellers in src/FDM/JSBSim/models/propulsion/FGPropeller.cpp,
FGPropeller::GetPowerRequired(void)
The test is basically if minrpm == maxrpm (i.e. zero, not set), then it's a
variable pitch prop. The default value for either is 0 in the constructor.
(Not sure how one would go about to define a fixed speed prop where the rpm
cannot be varied the slightest.)

Hi Yurik,

Thank you very much for making this available under the GPL for flightgear.  
It's a very nice model, with some innovative touches.

The instrument textures are great... they'd look even better on 3d 
instruments ;-)

The main problem with the 2d panel is the way it disappears if one looks 
around - this problem was recently fixed in the pc7 and it would be a big 
improvement if it was done in the an2.

I hope that one of our data committers will add this to CVS soon, it'll be a 
fantastic addition to the hangar.

The only concern I have is about the flight manual - we have to be very 
careful about copyright here.  If the manual is still in copyright then 
perhaps it would be better if you kept it available for download (for 
example) on your website and provided a link within the an2 documentation.  
That way, the project avoids any potential copyright problems and Russian 
speakers can still get to read the manual.  I wish I could!

Hi Yurik,

the plane looks really great, seems to be much time in this bird.
But I have a problem. I am not able to start the engine. I put on 
electric main-switch, magnetos to 1+2, fuel up, starter switch on, other 
starter switch short to the left and then to right (I hold it on the 
right), the propeller turns some seconds and then: silence...
Any one else with this problem?

And I found a minor bug. The help (engine start, space bar) only works 
on 1024x768.

But a big thank you for this plane. I hope I can fly it tomorrow.

Maik

 Hi Yurik,

 Thank you very much for making this available under the GPL for flightgear.  
 It's a very nice model, with some innovative touches.

 The instrument textures are great... they'd look even better on 3d 
 instruments ;-)

 same thing here, perhaps an explaination with some screenshots can help us.

 aircraft engine looks like my engine car : ignition problem :-)

Well, I suppose about this trouble. It's result of bad help...

Real AN-2 equipped inertial starter. It allow to start engine even main 
battery full discharged - there is handle for spinup wlywheel of starter 
manually, from cargo cabin. Usually, for start engine, flywheel of starter 
spinned of electric engine.

Main procedure of use inertial starter this:

1. Turn on electrical circuit for supply electrical engine of starter: main 
battery switch  starter switch. Red generator failure lamp will on, like a 
car;

2. Spinup of wlywheel of starter; for this, turn starter selector to left 
position and hold it _until wlywheel will spinned_. While wheel spinning, 
consumable current will decreasing from max value (see VA-3 instrument) to 
value around zero, when wlywheel will spin enough.  It take around 7 sec; you 
will hear sound of spinned wlywheel.
 
3. Apply spinned flywheel to engine crankshaft: set starter selector to right 
position and hold it _until engine started_. It take several second; see on 
tachometer instrument TE-48. When engine achieved above 550 rpm, release 
selector and turn off starter switch.

There is one problem around it. Power of starter not enough for spin engine 
shaft with big propeller - as I understand, this is JSBsim limitation. I read 
about it in devel list, but fix not ready yet. Cause this limitation, 
inertial starter may work unstable.

You may discard inertial started at all - go to an2-set.xml and comment 
binding of key 32:


 input
keyboard
 !--Unbind spacebar  print help about starter procedure--
comment here:
!--
 key n=32
 namespacebar/name

It allow you crank engine by press spacebar, as default.

I answer to next letter.


 And I found a minor bug. The help (engine start, space bar) only works

Yes, but parametrized help, for several screen sizes, take too many times for 
tune text position, cause I can't reload nasal script on runtime...

May be, I do it late...

 I hope I can fly it tomorrow.

I write additional manual to next letter. I hope, it will help you.

 The main problem with the 2d panel is the way it disappears if one looks
 around - this problem was recently fixed in the pc7 and it would be a big
 improvement if it was done in the an2.

I bind nasal command center wiew to one of joystick button in my preferences 
file. Now, after I look around, I press this button and panel stay on screen.

Ok, I write about it in forum of russian simmers, may be I found authors of 
manual...
