An-225: Non-Functional Instruments and Gauges

The shaking of the cockpit was due to the thrust of the engines hitting the flaps, so it also is flap-dependent.

But for me, on FS2020 the more important aspect is the performance of the sim when I use that aircraft.
Something makes that aircraft really resource-expensive (even more than Fenix on my PC) that should be optimized. That aircraft is not that complex so I can’t understant why it barely keeps 25FPS on the ground while Fenix is at 35-40

There are also other bugs, If Inibulds had told me that they don’t fix the aircraft on the first bug report I gave to them 2 years ago (and that is still not fixed) I would have come to the forums and Zendesk to report the bugs, But no, they only said that they aknowledge the bugs to fix them.

They patched out the plane’s vibration a few months ago. It was there.
The plane has so much potential!

And in MSFS 2024, as the title says, it’s totally broken.

Thank you for the bug report.

We have created an internal ticket to see if our team already has this logged, and if not they will attempt to reproduce the issue and create a new bug report. This item is now marked as feedback-logged. If there is an existing bug report or one is created, we will move this thread to bug-logged.

As another user who flies the aircraft regularly I second this thread, regardless of the errors with 2024, in 2020 it still has errors, such as the incorrect order of turning on the batteries as well as the lack of an anti-ice system for the fuselage.

It feels like they pass the buck to each other and no one fixes anything, but they got the money…

Also ADF giving TRUE heading indications instead of MAGNETIC.

The Navigators DME have the format bugged so when the station is far away the numbers are a complete mess

You can’t change the NAV1 or NAV2 frequency with an external hardware or software (like MSFS MCA, PMS50 GTN750 or Your Controls)

etc.. etc..

Jorg said something on the last dev stream about asking one by one to every aircraft to fix it.

But yeah, it’s a same that they sell a Aviator edition with lots of the aviator aircraft still broken.

Sad but true.
At this point, I’ve even lost faith in the veracity of the release notes; I wrote something about it here.

My son just purchased the 225 and the autopilot is terrible, why?

For such a large, iconic aircraft you’d imagine the AP would work in order to perform longer flights and ILS approach.

He has a Captain Sim 777 that is fine, all works as it should? I’d expect all Inibuilds aircraft to perform perfectly, bugs will happen but given the lenght of time that it’s been broken, I find it very unprofessional!!

I’ll refund it for him for the principle and avoid all Inibuilds aircraft for the near future!

Amen to that last one.

inibuilds has lost alot of its credibility as of late, and not fixing the an-225 for 2024 at all is just one of the handful of things that contribute to it.

The plane flies just fine in 2020 though, you just have to how all the autopilot functions work.

I haven’t spent much time flying it in 2020, did they update it for 2024 or is it still the 2020 version?

I’m pretty sure they haven’t touched it. I did take it for a short flight the other day and it flew fine, but I didn’t try autopilot. The contrails or exhaust look funny and come out at all altitudes, but you don’t see it from the cockpit.

The problem is that it fails randomly. Sometimes work 3 times in a row, then 4 gets bugged.

I don’t think it’s fixed yet since it’s still marked on the library as non-compatible and Jorg said on streams that they are having problems finding someone to fix it because the original team is no longer available.

:man_facepalming:

I flyed it A LOT on 2020, it’s my most used aircraft by far, and I want to fly it again on 2024

Modified title to better reflect the issue reported by the OP.

Wasn’t it Inibuilds?

Yes, I was thinking the same, but it seems that Inibuilds have internal divisions on who works on what airplane. At least those are my conclusions.

Makes 0 sense at all. If I quit working at Amazon, they’d find someone else to fulfill my role, no matter what it is. That’s how companies work. Sounds like an excuse if he did truly mean Inibuilds. From what I heard, I understood him to mean that some of the groups that did some of the first party aircraft are gone - not any specific one.

And it still sounded like a bad excuse to be honest. They’re MS aircraft. If you have a faulty product and the person(s) who were responsible for it are no longer around, you find someone else!
