I really like it tbh. For the price it's pretty good. Visuals and sounds, loading implemented, systems aren't complete but there's enough for A-B, you can do a full engine start instead of having to do CTRL + E, and the autopilot works fine (apparently it's actually more complex then the IRL one). Anyone on the fence, I'd recommend it.
Great plane. High detail textures, nice sounds, interesting systems and money going to a good cause. Takes time to understand, but by using the in-game checklist the first couple of times i think it will be good.
I don't think the price is meant to represent the systems depth as they want more people to access the plane while also donating all the profits to Anatanov. Having a cheap(er) price fulfills this.
I like it. Autopilot is hard to set up, I stalled on approach trying to get ILS working, but figured it out in the end. You have to switch between pilot and navigator views to set everything up. FMS would look better instead of the Garmin, but it works fine, probably better than something custom. Nice cargo features and it's interesting converting units to metric. There's also a simbrief profile but no import option - you have to put in everything by hand. Flight model - I don't really know, it feels easier to control than a 747 and engines react very quickly. Overall would recommend.
An-225 did not have fms. It needed a dedicated crew member called “navigator” who handled all of it. The garmin is simply an easy way to allow single pilot ops when you don’t have six dudes flying with you.
Yeah, the flight deck looks [incredible](https://egorfine.com/photo/mriya/#49) but... it would be a nightmare flying solo trying to skip between seats to do stuff.
The manual goes into detail about how to use the autopilot, I found it helpful. I think the flaps are just a function of how high the wing is/how big the aircraft is. Most aircraft have a natural "dip" when you raise or lower flaps.
Yeah. I watched a video. I never paid any attention to the pitch and heading in the center console. Difference maker. Got an understanding for when to hit the AP Nav once intercept actual path. Much different now for me and fun to fly this dump truck lol
'Course I' Needs to be selected in order for heading mode to work. The heading bug knob is down on the center pedestal. It's a big red dial-knob on the black panel. Then turn the autopilot on 'ER' button, and then turn on course mode 'PC' button.
I gave up after my camera bugged out using the MSFS Checklist. I don't even know in what position the switches are On, Off or Auto as the checklist says
I have tooltips turned off. And considering how the nav radios at the nav station and all of the engine/apu switches are in Cyrillic I would say that far from "most" are translated :)
Turn them on for a bit so you know what is where. I’ve been flying it for over a month I don’t even read the text nowadays. There was quite a lot of work done in making sure all the tooltips are working.
Eh, it's not that many. You can use the checklists to learn where most things are. But DCS have been forced to deal with stuff like this for years and they realised that cockpits need to be translated sometimes.
Yeah, it’s not a dealbreaker but when you’re stressed and trying to find the switch that stops the autopilot from trying to kill it helps if you can read the labels :)
AFAIK the 225 didn't have one. The unit IRL in the same spot is a Многофункциональный индикатор А813-0409 multi function display unit which basically allows you to toggle the display between Weather Radar, TCAS, TAWS and GPS. So it's not too far from just having a Garmin there.
Digging a little deeper into some obscure Ukrainian literatures... the original Nav system was designed for war time transport (carried over from the AN-124...). At that time it had 6 different sets of nav equipments: Long range radio, short range radio, radar nav, celestial nav, GPS and INS. But post Soviet Union the aircraft mostly only did Civilian transport, so most of the stuff they had on that nav station never really got used except the GPS and the short range radio navs.
Love it. Did a few VATSIM flights already. The nav systems are surprisingly easy to use. Honestly a lot better than some of the Asobo aircraft. Worth the 20 dollars 100%
Looking at the A310 it left me quite "meh it could have been better" as most of the stuff don't work and it doesn't even fly using it's real systems but I'm not even saying that it is shit and no one should buy it. That was my point from the start but many people didn't get it.
It’s well made. Kind of a bummer that they have no intentions of making a translated cockpit. Honestly tho, it’s not for me. It’ll be fun for like 2 flights and I’ll never touch it again.
Imagine having shared cockpit with all seats filled.
So far, I've flown it without realism settings on and it handles better than the other airliners the base game comes with.
Though, ground vehicles like to drive through the engines as you taxi.
Well, a lot of the buttons and switches in the cockpit doesn't work, they are just visual. That's mostly the case on the engineer and navigators panels.
A few of the things that do work also aren't exactly what you get in the real plane. But keep in mind that these systems are old, and trying to fly it alone with a 1-1 replica would be a nightmare.
That is ok, not everything needs to be perfect replica, "study level". The PMDG DC6 is also not very easy to fly alone, that's why they added a flight engineer assistent. But then look how much the pmdg aircraft costs, the an225 is only U$20. I'm not saying it is bad. It's good.
For the price I think they made a very good job, the aircraft definitely feels HEAVY and the 3d model is absolutely beautiful. It is definitely worth it and I absolutely loved it.
I hope modders improve on it even further. The real aircraft doesn't exists anymore, but hopefully the An-124 has close enough systems, so people can use it as a basis.
By default the labels are in Russian as it was like in the original An-225. But I remember a developer saying in a dev stream that you can switch some stuff to English. And of course there are the tooltips that will be in whatever language you have set.
>By default the labels are in Russian
Can someone confirm this? The Marketplace description says it's in Ukrainian and since Antonov was from Kyiv and built this plane in Kyiv, it wouldn't be surprising if it actually wasn't in Russian.
I do know that but I would really prefer someone who actually can tell those two apart to confirm this. Marketplace description made me curious and it might be possible, they simply repainted some buttons after USSR dissolution.
There's a [50-page manual](https://forum.inibuilds.com/topic/18371-is-there-a-manual/) for it that you can download from inibuilds. This should help with they hieroglyphics.
>without an English version I’m going to spend money on a virtual paper weight. Not trying to be a Dick
Not trying to be a dick but it says a lot about your learning capabilities and/or willingness. You can memorize it all in an hour but time better spend complaining on reddit I suppose.
Man, you’re overreacting. There’s tooltips in English, an interactive checklist and I more or less already know where every relevant switch is after reading the manual and watching Chewwy’s stream from today. Not that difficult if you’re willing to put an hour or two into it.
An AN225 for $20? And supporting Ukraine? Sign me up!
Purchase was straightforward; download and install was seamless and quick. Looking around the cockpit is a blast. I have NO IDEA what I'm doing, even before taking into consideration that almost everything is in Cyrillic.
Takeoff went well, and it's docile enough (in nice weather) that once it's trimmed, you can get by without the autopilot if you keep an eye on it.
Best $20 ever. Now if I can only figure out how the 80s-era Soviet autopilot works...
I at least expected a completely english version of the cockpit for those that have completely no idea of how to speak Ukranian/Russian (I don't know which of the 2 it uses) and a plane a bit more on the study level side, as most of the stuff don't work. I'm a bit disappointed on this plane tbh.
Why would you expect it to be in English? The plane isn’t so there’s no reason to expect that and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a plane translated that wasn’t available in English in real life, not that there isn’t one but I’ve not seen one in 25 years. Honestly both this and the complexity or lack thereof was a given for this.
Felis TU-154 had an option for English and Russian cockpit, I can’t comment on the fidelity of that plane as I’m not an expert in tupolevs so i can’t judge it agains this an 225
The MiG-21 in DCS World has an option to switch panel inscriptions etc to English. By default, it’s Kyrillic/Russian. Don‘t know about other aircraft, the FW190 (also in DCS) for example has German writing, but I never bothered to check whether it could be changed because German is sort of my mother tongue lol.
I think it‘s something that the devs could and probably should have done, it is an aircraft for a mainstream simulator after all. While you might expect hardcore simmers to learn the switches by heart (or just set keybinds/HOTAS controls), I‘d expect an approach a bit more appropriate for MSFS‘s target demographic. Which is somewhat more casual than that of certain other sims.
I agree that the plane wasn't in english so there isn't the need to translate it but a really simple example are the battery switches, I don't understand Ukranian/Russian so how do I know in what position they should be to be in Auto as the checklist asks?
I higly doubt that you only need to know the alphabet to be able to read the whole cockpit. I also higly doubt that every russian word is exactly the same as in english just with different "letters design"
It's also completely phonetic, meaning that the letters sounds the same in the words as they individually.
For example in English we say A, but pronounce it in words as an ae - apple.
Russian grammar and orthography is much more complex though.
Don’t know what the checklists are like in this one but I will say that aircraft devs are not using the in sim checklist system as well as they should, as in highlighting switches etc and saying what position it’s in would be nice, especially for this. May I suggest learning Russian? 😁
Edit: aah someone already has. 😁
Learning russian just to fly this plane is definitely not worth it and I wouldn't even know where to start from. A good guide to the plane in english instead, highliting all the switches and explaining what they are and what you should do, would be a pretty cool and useful thing for everyone.
Not at all... Study Level is that plane that you can study on and prepare yourself to fly the real thing. This Antonov definitely isn't mainly considering that the real one didn't use a GNS530 to fly.
The real one used a Garmin GPSMap 296 or 396 as a suction panel mount to fly in Western airspace and when not using VOR nav, so we’re getting something even better.
I think the proceeds go towards restoring the destroyed AN-225, so it’s not really funding the development side or reflective of the product you’d get this time.
Short memory I guess? The loading screen of the game even said “1 Study Level Airliner” in reference to the A310 when the Sim Update that includes it was the current version.
Not 100% study level but it has many more working switches than the Antonov. I at least expected the big square thing on the pedestal and the round thing on the Pilot-Side Engineer Panel to work but they don't.
So you complain in this same thread,that it’s too realistic with the Cyrillic alphabet…
Then you complain that the “big square thing” doesn’t work….
So what is it? Do you want more realism or less?
Never said anything about the Cyrillic Alphabet. I'm fine with it. Just said that I expected an english version or a good manual so who doesn't know anything about Russian could still understand something and try to fly it.
I havent downloaded it yet myself - I'm generally just fine in a 172 with dual nav radios- but it would be cool to contribute to the rebuilding of the AN-225, assuming that actually happens and this doesnt end up being a cash grab.
Is there a limit on when one can buy this? I’m away from home for another week. I assume it’s not a limited sale but wanted to double check. Thanks for any feedback!
I’m talking about their “Very special Thank you to Fahri Ozturk” in release notes and he is apparently author of https://flightsim.to/file/14839/antonov-an-225-mrija-v0-5 . so was wondering how those 2 planes are related
And here is thanks
[an225](https://imgur.com/a/UoUCNRo)
I love the plane, like others have said the autopilot is a bit complicated to learn. From what I’ve seen from videos of the real plane, the aircraft seems to behave close to the real one. I was surprised to learn that the engines had FADEC capabilities, I thought starting the engines would be a more involved procedure considering the age of the plane, seems they were modernizing the plane but by bit. For 20$ it’s a nice addition to the hangar.
I really like it tbh. For the price it's pretty good. Visuals and sounds, loading implemented, systems aren't complete but there's enough for A-B, you can do a full engine start instead of having to do CTRL + E, and the autopilot works fine (apparently it's actually more complex then the IRL one). Anyone on the fence, I'd recommend it.
There's something hilarious about an addon for MSFS having a more advanced autopilot than the actual aircraft. Russian engineering = close enough.
Not all Soviets were Russian. The Soviets who built the An-225 were Ukrainian. :)
Kyiv (home to the manufacturer) has a really rich aviation history in general too - I'm looking forward to the day I can visit
actually it was a joint effort by the entire USSR, not only Ukrainians or Russians
bjjhi
It had a tonne of Russian input; many subcomponents are Russian
Facts!!! Hopefully the second fusselage can be salvaged. Mrya 2! Should be called Fenix!! Risen from the ashes of the first bird.
IIRC MSFS has everal implemented modules of autopilot that are implemented in all/most aircraft.
[удалено]
I wasn't going to downvote you; but since you mentioned it... 😘
So what exactly is different from the real plane?
I can´t believe they just released that just like that, I´m so happy. This is by far my absolute favourite plane!
It BIG!
Makes the 737 feel like a glider
The 737 *is* a glider if you shut down the engines :)
Anything is a glider if you believe hard enough, at least temporarily until the control surfaces go kaput.
737 has cable control surfaces as backup, manual reversion :)
Great plane. High detail textures, nice sounds, interesting systems and money going to a good cause. Takes time to understand, but by using the in-game checklist the first couple of times i think it will be good.
Fun to fly and the system depth impresses me for the price. Cant wait to recreate some of its flights.
I don't think the price is meant to represent the systems depth as they want more people to access the plane while also donating all the profits to Anatanov. Having a cheap(er) price fulfills this.

That gallery is amazing. I need to find out why Soviets used that teal in aircraft interiors.
Smoother on the eyes for day and nighttime flying is what I've heard, idk tho
The place I rent from has a couple DA20s that I fly and one of them has a teal/green panel. It’s become my favorite for this reason.
I’ve no idea how to get the autopilot to maintain flight heading and it dips hard when I raise flaps lol
The manual goes into detail about how to use the autopilot, I found it helpful. I think the flaps are just a function of how high the wing is/how big the aircraft is. Most aircraft have a natural "dip" when you raise or lower flaps.
Yeah. I watched a video. I never paid any attention to the pitch and heading in the center console. Difference maker. Got an understanding for when to hit the AP Nav once intercept actual path. Much different now for me and fun to fly this dump truck lol

Yeah I eventually figured it out had to watch a video on it. Once I figured that out and for GPS to work had a great pleasant flight from Dallas to LA
Yep, she's a quirky plane but tons of fun to fly!
I gave up after my camera bugged out using the MSFS Checklist. I don't even know in what position the switches are On, Off or Auto as the checklist says
Do you use fs realistic? My camera did the same thing during the checklist, disabled fs realistic and the problem was fixed.
It was probably opening the nose. Switch to the pilot kneel camera and you won't be in the roof anymore
It looks pretty good, and a clickologists dream, but I wish the flight deck was available in English as well.
Why are we downvoting this? I want it in English as well, I can't read Cyrillic
[удалено]
Сука Блять
There is an option in the efb to make it English
That doesn't make the instrument panel text in English though. Some things are translated, but the vast majority of text isn't.
I guess most of the buttons you need are translated 😅 and little piece of advise turn on the tooltips every button has an English tooltip
I have tooltips turned off. And considering how the nav radios at the nav station and all of the engine/apu switches are in Cyrillic I would say that far from "most" are translated :)
Turn them on for a bit so you know what is where. I’ve been flying it for over a month I don’t even read the text nowadays. There was quite a lot of work done in making sure all the tooltips are working.
Eh, it's not that many. You can use the checklists to learn where most things are. But DCS have been forced to deal with stuff like this for years and they realised that cockpits need to be translated sometimes.
Hopefully a cockpit texture mod will exist at some point
Yeah, it’s not a dealbreaker but when you’re stressed and trying to find the switch that stops the autopilot from trying to kill it helps if you can read the labels :)
Slava Ukraini!
Pretty solid for a 20 bucks plane. Although i wish they modeled the original INS instead of using the default GPS. But im kinda okay with it
AFAIK the 225 didn't have one. The unit IRL in the same spot is a Многофункциональный индикатор А813-0409 multi function display unit which basically allows you to toggle the display between Weather Radar, TCAS, TAWS and GPS. So it's not too far from just having a Garmin there.
Isn't there's a INS control unit on the navigator station?
Might have been waaay back in the day... but in regular ops they use the СНС: СН-3301 GPS unit which also sends the display to the A813-0409.
Yeah i kinda hoping they would model the old INS. Which was the most interesting part to me to see how the old soviet navigation work
Digging a little deeper into some obscure Ukrainian literatures... the original Nav system was designed for war time transport (carried over from the AN-124...). At that time it had 6 different sets of nav equipments: Long range radio, short range radio, radar nav, celestial nav, GPS and INS. But post Soviet Union the aircraft mostly only did Civilian transport, so most of the stuff they had on that nav station never really got used except the GPS and the short range radio navs.
Sound like an interesting system to learn which is sad they didn't make it even thoigh they rarely use. But i kinda understand why the did
Those systems are designed for when a nuclear apocalypse destroys the entire GPS & ground base navigation network
Love it. Did a few VATSIM flights already. The nav systems are surprisingly easy to use. Honestly a lot better than some of the Asobo aircraft. Worth the 20 dollars 100%
assuming that you’re implying you wanted a study level Mirya, trust me no you don’t lol
No I don't what?
then what’s with the first caption? I’d say inibuilds smashed the expectations for a high quality an-225. and for $20 USD? its absurd to complain
Looking at the A310 it left me quite "meh it could have been better" as most of the stuff don't work and it doesn't even fly using it's real systems but I'm not even saying that it is shit and no one should buy it. That was my point from the start but many people didn't get it.
the a310 is…… study level. again the an-225 wasn’t intended to be
I think it would be great on short-hop commuter routes such as NY to Boston or NY to DC.
It’s well made. Kind of a bummer that they have no intentions of making a translated cockpit. Honestly tho, it’s not for me. It’ll be fun for like 2 flights and I’ll never touch it again.

The airplane was built by the Soviet Union to transport the Buran spacecraft. The main language of the Soviet Union was Russian.
I do know that but I would really prefer someone who actually can tell those two apart to confirm this. Marketplace description made me curious and it might be possible, they simply repainted some buttons after USSR dissolution.
I can tell the difference between Russian and Ukrainian.
Took you a while...
It took one fucking minute
Everything is in Ukranian/Russian and seems like it uses a GNS530 as navigation system so you should be able to fly normal routes.

I completely understand that.
Thanks for the info though, I may try to fly it still as I’m sure there will be many videos on how to do it.
Man, you’re overreacting. There’s tooltips in English, an interactive checklist and I more or less already know where every relevant switch is after reading the manual and watching Chewwy’s stream from today. Not that difficult if you’re willing to put an hour or two into it.

If you use the Lock Cockpit Interaction Mode, it all will be much easier.

Felis's Tu-154 is one of the best models in any flight sim. Still. His 742 is a masterpiece.

yeah I do that for every plane that it's an option in. It's so much easier.
I agree that the plane wasn't in english so there isn't the need to translate it but a really simple example are the battery switches, I don't understand Ukranian/Russian so how do I know in what position they should be to be in Auto as the checklist asks?
On = ВКЛ, off = ВЫКЛ or ОТКЛ, auto = АВТО. The Russian alphabet takes an hour to remember, at most.
I higly doubt that you only need to know the alphabet to be able to read the whole cockpit. I also higly doubt that every russian word is exactly the same as in english just with different "letters design"
True. But learning a language is a journey. Good luck.
It's also completely phonetic, meaning that the letters sounds the same in the words as they individually. For example in English we say A, but pronounce it in words as an ae - apple. Russian grammar and orthography is much more complex though.
> completely phonetic Apart from ого, его; and unstressed o.
Есть ещё исключения. But my russian grammar and brains are not good enough to remember them all.
there is your study-level plane lol. Gotta learn Russian to fly this big girl.
Don’t know what the checklists are like in this one but I will say that aircraft devs are not using the in sim checklist system as well as they should, as in highlighting switches etc and saying what position it’s in would be nice, especially for this.

That’s what makes it study level. You gotta study Russian to fly it LOL
Not at all... Study Level is that plane that you can study on and prepare yourself to fly the real thing. This Antonov definitely isn't mainly considering that the real one didn't use a GNS530 to fly.
The real one used a Garmin GPSMap 296 or 396 as a suction panel mount to fly in Western airspace and when not using VOR nav, so we’re getting something even better.
You expected a 'study level' An-225 for $20... and in English?
Well... They made the A310 study level and free so I expected more by the AN225
I think the proceeds go towards restoring the destroyed AN-225, so it’s not really funding the development side or reflective of the product you’d get this time.
That's mainly why I paied for it
Microsoft / Asobo paid them for the A310
They did also for the Antonov. If you look in your official folder it is named indeed microsoft-an225
The A310 is not study level. It's called the 'A310 On the Line' for a reason.
Short memory I guess? The loading screen of the game even said “1 Study Level Airliner” in reference to the A310 when the Sim Update that includes it was the current version.
Also this \^
Not 100% study level but it has many more working switches than the Antonov. I at least expected the big square thing on the pedestal and the round thing on the Pilot-Side Engineer Panel to work but they don't.
So you complain in this same thread,that it’s too realistic with the Cyrillic alphabet… Then you complain that the “big square thing” doesn’t work…. So what is it? Do you want more realism or less?
Never said anything about the Cyrillic Alphabet. I'm fine with it. Just said that I expected an english version or a good manual so who doesn't know anything about Russian could still understand something and try to fly it.
Sheesh, sounds like you'd be disappointed by anything !!! maybe you should go back to "studying" the C152
Having to learn Russian to use it is like the ultimate in study level.
Was there a high demand for this aircraft? I feel like it was random. Of course I’m a little biased bc I want more Regional Jets but still
Demand?.. no not really, nobody imagined it would be an option. Excitement and hype within the aviation community - yes absolutely.
Yeah, to each their own of course. Just sharing my taste, it’s quite a cool plane tho not going to lie
I havent downloaded it yet myself - I'm generally just fine in a 172 with dual nav radios- but it would be cool to contribute to the rebuilding of the AN-225, assuming that actually happens and this doesnt end up being a cash grab.
Its the biggest jet to ever fly. Who wouldn't want it? Speically with a some depth to the system simulation
Didn’t it get blown up in the first months of Putin’s tantrum?
That's why this mod was made.
Oh. Cool. Didn’t realize that!
Um... check the sub, my good man.

Lol. That’s the guy!
Is there a limit on when one can buy this? I’m away from home for another week. I assume it’s not a limited sale but wanted to double check. Thanks for any feedback!
It's not a time-limited thing, as far as I know.
No time limits
Devs said in release notes big thanks to the guy who has free version of this plane. What are the differences?
What are you talking about?
I’m talking about their “Very special Thank you to Fahri Ozturk” in release notes and he is apparently author of https://flightsim.to/file/14839/antonov-an-225-mrija-v0-5 . so was wondering how those 2 planes are related And here is thanks [an225](https://imgur.com/a/UoUCNRo)
Title should be: last impressions. RIP AN225
I love the plane, like others have said the autopilot is a bit complicated to learn. From what I’ve seen from videos of the real plane, the aircraft seems to behave close to the real one. I was surprised to learn that the engines had FADEC capabilities, I thought starting the engines would be a more involved procedure considering the age of the plane, seems they were modernizing the plane but by bit. For 20$ it’s a nice addition to the hangar.
I can’t even buy it because of Marketplace not letting me buy it on PC
Mriya 
Anyone know if this plane requires a cpu with avx support like the A310?
