Thanks,
MSFS Team

I have flown this aircraft A LOT on MSFS2020, there was some bugs that I reported to Inibuilds on their discord and they never fixed them (Navigator DME, bad performance of the sim only with this aircraft, ADF using TRUE degrees instead of MAGNETIC,…)

And… yep, it’s totally broken on MSFS2024. More info here:

Worked great for me. Some lighting issues in the cockpit that are present across the sim.

Fly it for more than 15 minutes and I guarantee you that you will get to the conclusion that this aircraft is really broken.

In the first 5 minutes, it seems it works fine, but no. Everything starts going crazy after ~15 minutes of flight

Can your autonomous driving work?

This post is for MSFS 20 and not MSFS 24

Hello there,
I don’t know if Asobo is looking at this topic but I’d like to add my little touch to the edifice.

The Antonov 225 in Flight Simulator is great and thanks to the Asobo and Inibuilds teams for bringing it to us.

Here are a few suggestions that I think would be a big plus for this aircraft:

- Completely revamp the soundscape
In fact, the soundscape, whether cockpit sounds, engine sounds or packs (which are non-existent when the APU or engines are switched on), is very poor.
The aircraft’s 2 APUs completely cover the sound of the 6 engines in exterior view, which isn’t exactly top-notch.
Engine startup
Engine startup 2
cockpit atmosphere + cockpit shaking during engine run

I think that, even if the aircraft unfortunately no longer exists, it’s possible to recover quite a lot of sound from its little brothers, the Antonov 124s.

- Trim sensitivity
Since the release of this aircraft on MSFS, the trim has been far too sensitive! One small pressure on it and the aircraft pitches up abruptly and violently.
The same goes for engaging the autopilot! The aircraft pitches up violently and tries as best it can to calibrate to the climb rate assigned to it.

- Take-off performance
Even though we’re light on fuel and weight, the aircraft has an unfortunate tendency to take off on its own after VR, which is not the case with the real thing.

- Maintenance system
Considering what Inibuilds offers today on these aircraft, it would be really cool to have a small maintenance system for engines, for example, or for replacing the aircraft’s tires.

The Antonov 225 was a garage in itself, capable of repairing itself in almost any situation, and it would be really cool to have a system of this type, based on the A300 for example.

All in all, this aircraft, which I repeat is fine in its current state (on FS20), could do with a little help to make it even better, and above all to add an immersion that is not present today on what we have.

I’m obviously not talking about the various bugs (there’s enough of a topic on that).

Thank you for reading Asobo and Inibuilds, wishing all the best for this magnificent plane :slight_smile:

Cheers
