Antonov AN28 for AI

This aircraft has been constructed using Gmax v1.2. The aircraft is constructed with as few polygons as possible and with a single texture file to ensure the absolute minimum impact on your framerates. There are a total of 7 LOD models.

LOD1 - 2846 polygons (faces)
LOD2 - 2238
LOD3 - 1881
LOD4 - 1436
LOD5 - 1032
LOD6 -   672
LOD7 -     80

It is designed specifically to enhance the AI aircraft population and to use with the marvellous GA-Traffic programme by Markus Brunner . It is also quite fun to fly as a normal aircraft 

The paintkit is being posted as a separate zip file. I work with PaintShopPro and the paintkit is multi-layered in PSP but also saved as a PSD file for Photoshop users. You do not need to ask permission to make texture files for this aircraft.

My thanks to the FreeFlightDesign.com forums (or http://www.aerodynamika.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi)  for all their useful resources and members contributions. Thanks also to Avsim for their continued and valuable support to the flightsim community and in particular their huge library of material that is free to access, as well as the variety of forums that they allow us to utilise. Finally my thanks to www.airliners.net for their magnificent resource of aircraft images

There are many authors whose work I have admired and who have inspired me over these past few years, and it would be a large list if I were to fill it out. I give special thanks to David Rawlins of Aardvark for inspiring me in the creation of simplistic, yet effective AI aircraft. I would also like to thank Father Bill Leaming for his assistance not only to me, but to literally hundreds of other developers. 

I would also like to thank members of UltimateGA (http://www.ultimatega.com/) for their useful comments while this aircraft was being constructed.

Note that the aircraft supplied in this package is supplied as is.  I have made this aircraft as a labour of love for the Flight Simming community and I have made it and textured it as accurately as I am able. I am not willing to make amendments just because some person believes that something should be changed. I trust that you enjoy it. (If you don't, then please just delete it from your flight sim).

The other aircraft I have made for this series of GA_AI aircraft are also available at Avsim.
