Give me one or two days, and I’ll try to translate it into English. This schedule is a procedure for warming up and checking the engine and systems.

The vertical scale is RPM, the horizontal scale is time. In Russian poh, each mode and its duration are described under the table. Warm-up, check at nominal RPM, check the propeller reduction mechanism, check the fuel mixture preheating, check the operation of the generator, check at minimum and maximum RPM

I apologize in advance for my English) There may be translation errors, but in general it should be clear.
а - Starter switch Left click 10-12 sec. activates electric motor to rotate flywheel;
б - Starter switch Right click - clutch flywheel to engine (n = 700—800 rpm, Рм = 3 kgf/cm2, Рб = 0,2 kgf/cm2);
в - Warming up the engine before the oil temperature starts to rise (at least 3 minutes);
г - Warming up the engine to an oil temperature of at least 30 °C and a cylinder head temperature of at least 100°C at n = 1200 rpm (in winter, n = 1400 rpm);
д - Warming up the engine to an oil temperature of 50°C and a cylinder head temperature of at least 150°C, n = 1600 rpm, checking the operation of the AK-50M compressor;
1 - checking engine operation at nominal rpm 15-20 sec. [n = 2100 rpm, Pк = (900±10) mmHg,
Pб = 0.2—0.25 kgf/cm2];
2 - checking the operation of magneto and electric spark plugs;
3 - checking the operation of the prop and air prop regulator;
4 - checking the operation of the prop at steady speeds;
5 – checking the air heating at the carburetor inlet;
6 - checking the operation of the generator;
7 - checking the value of the reverse electric current;
8 – checking engine operation in max rpm (n = 2200 rpm, Pк max = 1050 mmHg);
9 - checking engine operation on low rpm;
10 - checking engine pick-up (acceleration characteristics);
11 - checking the engine for shaking;
е - cooling the engine to the temperature of the cylinder heads 120-140°C;
ж - “burning” electric spark plugs and pumping oil for 5-6 sec (n = 1700 rpm);
з - turning off the engine (the stopcock leveris fully on itself)

Thank you so much for taking the time to translate this table. It’s very impressive how detailed it is. I’ll study it carefully.

Thanks to Anvlamat for the mod! However, I noticed the rudder controls have significantly changed in the AN-2 2024 version. It’s very difficult to control the tail wheel. Is anyone else having this issue, or just me? Taxiing requires differential braking. Also it looks like the MP Gauge needle still jumps around when fuel Tanks are set to both, even with the mod.
I have the exact same issue with the tail wheel. It was so bad I had to stop using the mod..couldn’t get down a taxiway!
I will try to explain how the brakes and rudder work. At low taxiing speed, the turns of a real aircraft are carried out only by braking the corresponding wheel. You press the required pedal and brake lever on the steering wheel. In an airplane, the tailwheel is uncontrollable and self-orienting. This is how you slow down the wheel on the side where you need to turn. The rudder is used when increasing speed and in flight. Right now, with the Anvlamats mod, taxiing is very similar to the real thing.
For comfortable, correct and realistic steering, it is necessary to have pedals with a brake axle.
Regarding the fuel tap, this problem is not treated with the mod. Unfortunately, there is no solution yet. To be able to fly, use only the left or right group of tanks. Both tanks can’t be used yet, it’s broken.

It’s not about realistic systems or learning, it’s about sim limitations.
In real life tailwheel is fully castering, but it does not produce such negative effects as in the sim.
In the sim the tailwheel castering authority needs to be reduced to at most 1/2 circle (3.14 / 2) for the correct result.
Whenever the tailwheel rotates beyond 90 degrees from the nose it locks in a position that does not allow to stop the yaw with differential braking. It’s a sim glitch, castering tailwheels need to be limited to half circle
max_castering_angle = 1.55 ; 3.14159265358979
Change this in flight_model.cfg, line 36

This is similar to issue encountered and fixed in FlyingIron warbirds. The fuel lines are too narrow to cope with fuel flow from both tanks, the fuel system self-throttles. The lines need to have their diameter increased. Fix incoming.

Is there a bug with the brakes in FS2024? The brake lever has no effect. The brakes are pressurized and the gauge is displaying correctly. Also the lever moves. But the plane does not slow down. I tried the brakes mapped to a button or mapped to an axis. It is not working.

Comes and goes..sometimes it works other times it will not..for me anyway.

Brakes are for some reason tied not only to pneumatic system, but also to electric system as well. They work under two conditions:
- Engine runs at minimum 900 RPM powering the generator
- pneumatic system is charged and indicates correct pressure.
Both need to be true for brakes to work. To charge pneumatics run up the aircraft at 900 RPM until pneumatic pressure gauge indicates ~40, and then keep RPM above 900 throughout taxi.
This works almost always, there seems to be some bug when toggling tailwheel lock cold and dark that screws up the brakes but I’m still investigating that

I watched a YouTube video of a Russian or person from those regions start up one of these. He was taking guys on a para jump. It took ages for the start up to be complete with loads and loads of switch and button tweaking. I feel you are on the right path here, in reality it is not a plane that is immediately ready for taxi. I think he was waiting for all the pressures to be correct. Very, very noisy once she took off. All guages in Russian so couldn’t tell what he was giving most attention to
Yes, it works like this 
but its actually quite funny that you need to have the generator powered in order to use the brakes. Probably the new electrical system in FS2024 broke something here.

It has an air system charging valve which requires the engine to run on otherwise the brakes don’t work. There is an air pressure gauge to the left of the pilots seat which must be charged with the rotary valve next to it to around 40. If the Gennie light is on it wont release and there is a problem.
Video is a bit old school but the explanations are good.

That’s actually a very good explanation-video of the whole startup and some nice insights. I just came back from my realworld typerating on the AN2 on saturday and he sums up many of the relevant points very briefly and nicely.
The airpressure and braking in MSFS24 is definitely broken. The aircraft uses the pressure contained in the bottle even if the compressor is not charging, so braking works until the bottle is empty.
in reality it is not a plane that is immediately ready for taxi. @Pilotfirst9999
That’s true, it is not ready immediately, but he is not waiting for pressures but for temperatures. Warming up the engine needs some time and has to be done carefully and according a certain pattern. Being gentle to the engine saves a lot of money. During flight you need to have an eye on temperatures all the time and adjust the cowlflaps and the oil cooler to keep them where you want them to be (oil between 75-95°C ideally and cylinderheads around 190°C and during approach above 150°C to be able to add full throttle in case of a go around).

Brilliant, thanks for the extra information, she is an interesting plane to fly for sure. You are very lucky to have had a go in the real An 2.

She definitely is. Fun, but also a challenging one - especially in crosswind-conditions from the left. And she needs quite a bit of physical strength to move the controls
