Was waiting for it all year thank you! But, I see it but can’t buy it. Can anyone buy it? I am on Windows . I do not have any transaction pending (my last purchase was 4 months ago for the Reno racing expansion pack):

Bought it. Frame rates are about half what I get in the PMDG 737, and as I was taxiing out I had a CTD. I’ll give it another try later. It’s a cool plane for sure, and hope it works. I’d also like a version with all English labels and western instruments (altimeter in ft for example). I know the tablet has an option for English, but it only changes a few things.

Heh, there were already challenges trying to find airports that could support AI instances of the A380 model, but here, hold my Horlika! :sunglasses:

Isn’t there one in the US with a 50ft drop halfway down the runway IRL can never remember the name, it’s flat in sim though.

Yep, I was just saying on a different Discord, I’m waiting for the YT and Tik videos of someone flipping the jet into a perfect landing spot at Lukla or St. Bart’s.

Thanks to everyone who made this project possible.
When the AN225 is in the air again, all of us who contribute a bit for this plane to fly again, we will know that it is our AN225, that is, of the World, I am sorry to tell you, Mr. Antonov, but you will be the caretaker of the plane that will belong to the whole World

Chewwy has the iniBuilds developer on his Twitch stream right now. The plane looks pretty impressively modeled. And definitely not a Boeing or Airbus. There’s lots to learn.

Thank you Jorg and the whole MS/Asobo team and everybody involved, to make this possible! This is not about flightsimulation on a PC. This project means much much more than that!

Is there any mention of profits being dedicated to victims of the war? That would be a nice gesture.
