Ive been onboard this aircraft in real life. Many years ago I worked at an Intl Airport and had clearance and opportunity to go on board for a quick tour. They flew in to take a large cargo back overseas. It was awesome to see. Always remember how archaic it seemed, even for the time, and yet amazing at the same time. Pretty cool

I remember seeing Mriya when it landed here in Toronto back in 2020. The Canadian government has since seized the Antonov 124 at Pearson Airport for almost 2 years. I get the joy of seeing the rare Soviet aircraft almost everyday, despite the reason for its grounding. Hopefully one day the Mriya will be rebuilt and back in service. Thanks for sharing this video with us!

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

My absolute pleasure on the video, FG! I’m glad it brought back some nice memories. As you say, hopefully things can return to “normal”, sooner rather than later and just maybe, we’ll see Mriya gracing the skies again some day! Cheers and all the best for 2024 : )

Hi PF, The F-111 is top of my own personal list for the next review haha. I’m waiting for the aircraft to release outside of the Marketplace though (for the weapons). I took some time off over the Christmas hols; I’ll be putting out a community poll when I return, to figure out what people want to see a review of next but, I definitely plan on taking a look at the Aardvark, at some point : ) Cheers, all the best!

[@metulski737]

It is simply impossible to make a more beautiful video about the An-225 Mriya in MSFS. No new add-on. But never before has it been presented so affectionately. Perfect for Christmas time.

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

Thank you for your reply. I wish you a happy new year. Slowly but surely, the MSFS 2020 is developing in a positive direction. We can expect some interesting add-ons in 2024.

[@metulski737]

By the way, I highly recommend testing the Flysimware Learjet 35A. I knew it would be good because the C414AW from Flysimware was. But I didn't expect it to be this good. Maybe the best jet of this size in MSFS 2020.

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

Thanks for the heads up, Peter. I was very much planning on flying the Learjet, it was just a question of finding the time to do so (and I finally got around to it yesterday haha). Great aircraft, overall : ) Cheers!

[@PeterESSA]

Thanks for a great video! I've been looking at the AN225 for a while now. I think I need to buy it.

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

My pleasure, Peter! The flight model is pretty weird to be honest but, otherwise the addon is a nice, mid-tier (in terms of systems depth) recreation of the AN225; needless to say it’s probably the only AN225 we’ll ever see in the sim. . . If you do pick the Mriya up, enjoy! I hope you had a great Christmas. All the best : )

[@jaysmith4302]

Well done. Very thematic. You never seem to put a wheel wrong, which I attribute to either rigorous airline training or film school. I thought I heard that this airplane has two flight engineers which shows that the Antonov designers were very serious indeed, although it appears that they sub-contracted the design of the empennage to the Short Brothers.

[@andyreynolds6194]

A very happy festive season to you and yours. Let’s not forget those poor buggers spending this time in foxholes.

[@Skritza]

Zelensky is the only person to blame for that, making it basically against the law to even talk with the Kremlin. They have almost entirely achieved their objective they stated right from the start of the special operation and would rather it came to an end via talks rather than trench warfare. Plans have already been drawen that if the clown doesn't comply sooner rather than later, they will march on kiev. I hope this happens, personally, but I'm not in the trenches. If you think I'm in any way wrong about anything I said, you need to do an awful lot of research, and from sources that aren't American owned or funded by as the likes of Sky news or The Daily Mail and almost every UK news platform, even if only partially. Sky is owned outright by CNBC, as an example, the American news network.

Funny russian background conversation during take-off in the simulator. Sounds like an unexperienced co-pilot is swinging the aircraft too much on final and his captain is slightly judging him.

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

Haha! From memory, I think that is exactly what was going on during the video, Doris XD All the best!

[@dekuleader5372]

Been a while since I took the Antonov out. Might do it this Christmas... After the choir performance at church... And the TF-104G flight, since I FINALLY got it as it came to Xbox. No radar operations, but it now has sight functionality, which I think is a nice touch. Oh, mental note for fellow Xbox players, NEVER quickstart. I did so without connecting the GPU, or some other function I neglected, as I was exited to get airborne to tame the beast, and I bloody lost hydraulic pressure on landing, preventing landing gear operation and severely limiting elevator movements. Thankfully, I knew to deploy the RAT to save myself, but still a situation I wish to avoid in the future.

[@michaelwilliams9234]

If only the Mriya had caught on more. Imagine the Mriya but with the flight volume of something like the C-17 in the military world or the 747-8F in the civilian world. But alas, the Mriya became a glorified museum piece after Buran was cancelled. And the only airframe was lost to the Russo-Ukraine War.

When a dictator invades a free democratic country it is not political anymore. You can say what ever you want to support the brave Ukrainians fighting for their freedom from an invading oppressor.

Hi Stwutter, Thanks very much. My pleasure on the vids in 2023 and I’m glad you enjoyed the flight! Haha well, with regards to “saving money”, I meant that in a somewhat nebulous way; I know that for a decent number of my viewers, one or another of my reviews has saved them spending money on an addon which, for whatever reason, they would ultimately have been unhappy with. Then again, I know many a viewer would argue that watching the channel has actually cost them money haha XD All the best for 2024! : )

Great maker how I wish this worked on my rig. Though so unimportant on the grand scheme of things, the return of the Myra to the skies would be a fantastic gift to Ukraine, when the human stupidity that is war comes to an end. Contrary to what I have been told the sounds are pretty spot on (compared to the cockpit recordings I have heard), the fan noise in the flight deck is close to what I have heard. (I was told the sounds set was the Asobo A-320 sound set) By the way, that additional "busy flight deck " set you have for the video is great. Was such a phenomenal and legendary machine, and this simulation is visually stunning. I do hope the handling is close to the real thing or as close as they could get on the flight sim. Where did you get the checklist for this bird? Is that a stock version of Antonov international? Nice video sir, and happy holidays to you and yours, and thank you for making these videos.

An-225 was build in USSR, not Ukraine.

[@IntotheBlueSimulations]

Hello Alex, I don’t think I did state that the An-225 was built in Ukraine? In terms of semantics, I would agree; the aircraft was built in the USSR but, equally I don’t think it would be incorrect to say that it was built in Ukraine (which was of course, formally part of the USSR)? Either way, I think it’s fair to say that Ukraine / UKMM became the “home” of the An-225 (which is why I chose the country / airport as my destination). I did specially make the point during the start of the video, that the intent was not to make any sort of “political” statements etc; I just wanted to celebrate Christmas and the An-225. Cheers.

That russian pilots talking in the background is so OFF. It completely ruins the immersion when you understand russian, because it looks like its taken from some kind of emergency landing video :)

Hi Battery, I have no doubt; the vast majority of my viewers aren’t going to be Russian speakers though and I think the background audio otherwise improves the overall immersion (on this multicrew aircraft), for those of us who are somewhat ignorant of the Russian language haha. I would love to have included more appropriate audio but 1) there isn’t a huge amount of material to chose from and 2) not speaking Russian, I wouldn’t know if it was “appropriate” or not anyway. So far as I’m aware, the audio was from a normal, though seemingly rather chaotic landing haha! Cheers, all the best : )
