Guys,
I could see there is a lot of information noise on the plane and its compatibility with MSFS2024, so I’ve tried to gather all of the fixes from the available sources and present them in one place in video form.
There are marked chapters so you don’t need to suffer through all of it 
Also included my mumbling about its cool history and some NDB navigation basics as a bonus.
Hope somebody will find it useful:
Thank-you for this. It is very, very informative.
I’m glad that you liked it 
It’s a great plane.
The fuel selector trick alone didn’t do it on my machine. I had to to install the patch from AT Simulations first, now my beloved An-2 finally flies like it is supposed to be. 
Here’s a short video with all the details:
Thanks for this, wanted to check out now, but just saw that the AN-2 (among some other Asobo co-published planes) will get a massive redesign for 2024 that should drop together with SU5, so will wait for that with the revisit. Happy days 
Did anything got mentioned about fixing all issues still present in 2020?
Just 30 planes from 2020 but I think that meant in 2024
This would be highly appreciated. Even more if they really finally implement the Aerial Application Equipment to do some proper Ag Missions! 
Just picked up the newly released 2024 native version. Anyone else having issues with the Tail Wheel lock? I cannot get it to turn off, the physical switch is off, but the dang thing taxies like a wildebeast. I cannot get the dang thing to turn without full power, and even then it turns in a HUGE radius
My Tailwheel lock works just fine. Which Variant did you fly?
see my post above. I have it working now. One of my bindings got reset to a previous version somehow, and so there were two binding set for tail wheel lock. One unlocked it, and the second immediately re-locked it. Drove me nuts! I think at this point I have too many peripherals lol. With different bindings per type of plane…
Finally got the time to check it out, I’ve missed this beautiful rust bucket!
Just need to get some more feeling for how it flies nowadays when the flaps are out.
Great Review, thank you for that! I’m still wondering whether I make one to look at the Cropduster-Version specifically.
Regarding your issues with the temperature: I find them quite manageable if you control the oil temp with the oil cooler and the CHT with the cowl flaps.
If you want to warm up the engine thoroughly, this original warm-up chart (unfortunately in german) might be of help. It’s a pretty complex procedure woven in the after-start checklist:
Thank you. This chart and the warm-up process listed are really crazy, I wonder if the engine simulation here would really provide the expected values at the different test steps.
On my prior test flight, I was following the checklist that calls for the flaps/shutters to be opened late on the ground, just before takeoff, and overheated the oil by a LOT by doing it, so I got a little bit paranoid on the recorded video with trying to open them up as soon as possible. But yeah, this way the engine didn’t warm up enough
Seems like in this new version the oil temperatures rise much faster and the CHT slower than in the msfs2020 one, where I don’t remember having issues with keeping the right temperature at all and had lots of time to react if they were not correct.
When it comes to the crop duster version, I can’t really do it justice, as my Career Mode profile is in its initial stages, and I don’t have those jobs available. But there are great showcases of it here:
I’ve just run once through the whole procedure. Actually it’s quite straightforward, but the engine simulation deviates quite a bit from the expected values:
I decided to fly the Antonov with a tad higher manifold pressure for the time being. This also compensates for the diminished power with the current flight model.
