A new update for the Antonov An-225 Mriya is now available for current owners. The new update has a number of fixes applied to it, along with new features.
The new features include the ability to disable the custom dirty smoke effect, new EFB converters, and additional English gauge translations. There have also been fixes to the APU logic, some geometry issues, along with discrepancies with the in-sim checklists. The full changelog is down below.
iniBuilds and Microsoft have done their best to make the sim rendition just as impressive as the real plane. The plane comes with a payload manager, allowing you to easily customise the cargo you’re transporting. The release date of the plane is also no coincidence, as today marks one year since the real plane was destroyed.
With Sim Update 12 now readily available for everyone, the Antonov An-225 is now also available for Xbox owners (thanks to the newly added WASM support). Xbox users will download the latest version when it is first purchased.
The plane is available for $20, and all proceeds will go directly to the Antonov Corporation to help rebuild this majestic plane.
