On this video I can hear the turbo fans.

I love this plane but uninstalled it from my library because of the sound. After SU13, I reinstalled it just to have a look at the modifications of the sound and still very bad to me. It doesn't sound like the real plane, I can't hear the turbo fans at full power. It's clear Inibuilds didn't record the sound on a real plane. So I uninstalled it again until they have something real.

Anyway, to me the flight model of this plane is really bad and need a very important overall. Things are going very slow and I don't expect an update very soon.

It would be nice if the strobe lights can be more apparent like the beacon. Actually they are not visible from a short distance from the plane.

I understand your point but if you trim it down before taking off, it will react normally. I never had any such problem. As for the trim, it's very sensitive, I admit, but I found by acting very quickly in both direction help a lot on manual flying. Give one notch up followed rapidly by one notch down keep the descent or climb okay.

No problem with the AP as well. All assistances are OFF for me.

I just received the confirmation from Antonov that the AN225 reversers are not used to power back the plane. Only a tow truck.

Ok thanks.

I don't know if it normal, but how come it's impossible to power back the plane with 6 engines ? The plane move by itself forward on idle and can't power back full thrust reverser ! To me it's not normal. Mostly all planes can power back. Increase the engine power on reverse please and try to fix the fact it move forward on idle.

Also I would like so much new cargo's items in future updates. Military trucks, plane's engines would be great.

Oh my friend, thank you so much for these videos of the AN225. I was looking for that kind of videos because my main concern is not the buttons coloration but the seats position of both Captain and Copilot in our actual version. I was hopping they change that in this new update but still really disappointed about that. Fortunately they updated the sound package and I really love it. I had a long discussion about seats position and even with pictures, videos they are not convinced the yoke is not correctly positioned. Check my discussion here. On your first video it's clear the yoke is much closer to the dashboard and on the third video looking at the smaller video view where the pilot is seen from the side view, we can see his body is aligned with the smaller side window of the plane. Look in your MSFS model and you'll find the seat position is much backward. They really need to correct that which to me is the most important amelioration to do before the buttons. But I agree, your suggestions would increase the realism. If they still not convinced about the seat position after looking at your videos, I just don't know what to tell more.

The most beautiful sound while cruising is at power setting 104% where the turbofans can be hear. But to get that, I very slightly lower the speed brake lever and set manually the power setting to maintain 510 km/h at FL330. On AT at 94% normal power setting, I don't really like the sound, can't hear the turbofans at all. Also I find the engine rumbling is not loud enough when viewing the plane from the back. In a future update it would be nice if you can make it a little louder while cruising. I really like the taxi sound, much closer to the real thing.

Congratulation about the new sound set. Much different and much closer to the AN-124 now. I love it. Cockpit sound and outside sound are really well balanced. You did a great job on this point.

Tell me, are you planning to make the AN225 better in the future or you are happy as is ? Does any udates are planned ?

Hi. Two kind of cargos I would like to see in the future is army trucks and equipment. Would be fun to carry those items from base to base. Antoher thing I would like to see as I works 35 years for Rolls-Royce are aircraft engines. Surely three engines would fit together. Very nice cargo to carry from airport to airport for maintenance.

I'm trying to contact Jorg Newmann or Captain Antonov in the January Q&A to get the answer.

I don't agree with you. The airborne video of the real AN225 above show clearly the yoke in the same position as the other one on the ground. I just don't understand you can't figure the seat position. Look carefully at the AN124 video on the ground and tell me if the pilot legs are long enough to touch the pedals ! NO. Same for the buttons, they are much to fart from him. So it's 100% sure the pilot will move his seat forward and it's exactly what the pilot of the AN225 airborne did. How you explain the yoke is so close to the instruments without moving both the yoke and the seat.

I just found this interesting video of the AN-124. It's about the same flight deck as the AN-225 and the answer is really apparent. The pilot seat is way backward and need to be move forward during flight. You can see the yoke base and it exactly like what you can see in the previous videos of the AN-225. So your yoke is in the wrong position.

Maybe if you would tilt half the distance forward the yoke would give a much better result and moving the seat accordingly.

At least Ukrainians pilots are giants, look at the MSFS pilots and tell me if they can reach either the central buttons or pedals. If you look carefully if the pilots were correctly seated, they would be even farther from the panel and pedals. Looking a the videos I posted, the knee of the pilot is much foward.

I thought your team was in contact with Antonov or at least Asobo is. Ask to the real guys at Antonov and you will have the answer. On both pictures we see the base inclined toward and in the video it's the same position. Do some researches on that and I'm sure you will find more.

On this one too we can clearly see the yoke is very close to the dashboard.

Oh, I see. It's like parking position on ground to let the pilots moving easily out of the plane. Well. I thing you are wrong on this one. Check that.

Ok I'll try to make one.

Hi. I just don't understand why I don't find this post I posted on my first day on this forum, so I post it again. I found a very interesting video about the pilot seat position and I'm questioning if there is an option somewhere in the plane to tilt the yoke as seen on the real aircraft. By default we are seated extremely far from the dashboard and a real pilot in this position would not be able to activate any switches. On the real plane the yoke can move forward to let the pilot move his seat much closer. Did this option have been modelled or not ? For sure I can make my camera closer but doing this (see photo), I have the yoke in my stomach and it not really the way to do. It would be nice to have this feature implemented in the future to make it like the real plane.
