I have been wanting a small, bush plane with good STOL characteristics for a while now. Although I have a couple of options available to me that I've purchased in the past, for whatever reason, I never really found myself flying them much. The visibility factor that this aircraft gives, is a major plus factor me and it has superb visibility, making it great for bush flying and for flights where you want to 'take in' the view. This was the main reason I bought the aircraft. I purchased the FlyBoy Rans S6S on Orbx for 'peanuts' (US$14.52 | €13,27 | £11.34) which for me was a 'steal.' Is it in the same class of aircraft as A2A or Simworks? No, but nevertheless, IMO, it's superior than some that have cost me much more! It's nicely modelled has good textures and comes with three variants.

It's going to get even better. Amphib version and a big update on the way. 

You made me get it, and you know what? You’re spot on. Enormously enjoyable and superbly well modelled and textured. 👍

Brilliant! Thanks for the update.

I just bought this little gem! Really like it!

However, there are a number of liveries on .to. They seem to work on the trike version, but don't show on the bush trike nor the taildragger variants.

Any hints how to solve this problem?

I'm happy to be corrected, but I think you'll find that a livery is specific to a particular variant, unless designed otherwise.

Thank you Rocky_53!

Probably the latest version of S6S has a change in structure. Needs a layout.json mod, I guess.
