ANThank`s for the video, thank`s for the flight! Happy holidays, and greetings from Kyiv, Ukraine.💙💛 AN-225 is always in our memories!
My pleasure, Oleg : )
A (belated) very happy holidays to you also and wishing yourself and everyone in Ukraine, all the best for 2024!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations thank you so much!
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
Liar.
@@martinpatrick1999 ….lol. No sir. Im 50, and in 1992 I worked at an international airport with a “yellow” clearance and had one of the liaison personal take me aboard. I probably have a pic buried somewhere. It was quite the experience.
@@jay-rus4437 ok keep lying
@@martinpatrick1999 …okay. Because its impossible that anyone has ever seen this aircraft….and its not like many people are here on YT….and even less likely that someone whom has seen the plane might watch a posted vid about the plane. I mean really, the odds of those things coming together has to absolutely unbelievable 🙄
That is so cool! I really wish I got a chance to see it.
Sorry you have to deal with people like that harassing you on YT.@@jay-rus4437
You truly captured the essence of this legendary bird.
Amazing video, sir !
I was kinda confused when he took off with crew giving callouts about altitude during the landing on the background.
What a wonderful flight Captain (and crew). The background conversations are always appropriate for the flight. What a BEAST that aircraft is and would not like to pay for the annual. All is well and you can take the rest of the year off and thanks for all the hours you invest in "our" videos. Looking forward to 2K24! !! !!!
Well the annual right now is unfortunately 0 since the Mriya is a pile of rubble.
Amazing video, the Antonov An-225 was the legend of aviation
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!
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 : )
in order to build a new "Mriya" it needs to be restored USSR
Love this plane, easily my most flown plane in the sim, have like 400 hrs on it, 😂. So it’s great to see someone streaming it again. It’s a lot of fun when you understand it quirks, like the AT only really being 100% useful in cruise and level flight, it’s big and sluggish otherwise, despite being FBW.
your editing is second to none. always sets the scene of whatever scenario perfectly. well done ItB
edit: have a very merry Christmas my friend
Another fantastic video. Appreciate all your great content this year and looking forward to more of the same in 2024. Have a great Xmas.
Great video as always. Thanks for all the videos over the last year, always enjoy them. Happy Christmas and have a great New year!
Best wishes for wonderful holidays to a special person. Thanks hugely for all you do and have done!
Excellent flight! Was a pleasure to watch THX
Great video as always. Love those external shots.
Fantastic video as always! Have a wonderful Christmas!
Another great video, thanks for all the content this year I have enjoyed it loads. Merry Xmas.
Stunning video and well done as always! The 225 is the real Santa's sleigh! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks very much, Aaron! Haha indeed; the AN225 is *almost* as capable as Santa’s sleigh ; )
Cheers and wishing you a very new year! : )
Wow the clouds look so picturesque!
I'm impressed at how accurate Antonov airfield is modeled.
Thanks for this immersive flight experience!
Amazing video! Huge thumb up from Ukrainian, appreciate for this video! We are all want to be back to normal and peace life!
Merry Christmas mate and have a great year
Another great video. Happy Xmas.
Great Video!!
Thank you!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
🎉
Thank you very much, Larry!
I do hope you and yours had a brilliant Christmas and wishing you all the best for 2024 : )
amazing antonov ... nice video
Excellent video as always. It’s a beautiful plane. Thank you.
Thanks very much James, I’m glad you enjoyed the flight! My pleasure and all the best to you : )
A very happy festive season to you and yours. Let’s not forget those poor buggers spending this time in foxholes.
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.
you deleted your comment but im curious about the "genocidal russians" you speak of lol.
@@Skritza yeah mate because I’m better than you, and appreciate that you don’t mean what you post- you’re just making a living from posting Russian nonsense. I hope you find a better job and don’t get conscripted.
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.
Thank you very much Peter, very kind of you to say! I’m really glad that you enjoyed the video and that it got you into the Christmas spirit.
I do hope that you and yours had a brilliant Christmas and wishing you all the best for 2024 : )
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.
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.
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!
Great aircraft module and such a great idea from Microsoft & Asobo to get funding for the late AN-225
Just bought this today, having a blast with it.
Great to hear, Jimmy! Happy flying and all the best : )
Awesome video. She will be missed forever💔
Great idea for the Save the Children fundraiser. Respect to you sir.
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.
Thanks for a great video! I've been looking at the AN225 for a while now. I think I need to buy it.
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 : )
Really looking forward to your F-111 review. I'm getting a beer and putting my feet up when that comes out. And I hope it comes out. 😎
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!
Happy christmas an-225
Great video as always. While not a huge fan of this aircraft because I tend to favor the smaller GA but you handle this plane very well. As for your giveaway (#1 a. Runway 03, #2 b. Pallets /boxes of toys, #3 c. 3,000ft). Merry Christmas!
Best MSFS channel
Haha, very high praise indeed, AM! Very kind of you to say and much appreciated : )
Many thanks and all the best!
Just had some feedback from Santa who considers that you were late. And it's no good blaming the ground staff. He bitterly regrets not using his sleigh which is far more punctual and reliable.
What a beautiful plane the antinov is amazing thanks for the explanation of the plane new to your channel kym
And a beautiful scene as well merry christmas
Hi Kym,
My pleasure on the video, I’m really glad you enjoyed it!
Wishing you a (belated) very Merry Christmas also and all the best in 2024! Cheers : )
Great flight. Cheers for all the vids this year.
Genuine question - how has the channel saved me any money? You did mention it, so intrigued. What have I missed?
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! : )
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.
Haha! From memory, I think that is exactly what was going on during the video, Doris XD
All the best!
A wonderful idea🎯
Thanks very much, Øystein! I hope you had a great Christmas and wishing you all the best in 2024 : )
Thanks!
Thanks very much indeed for your generous donation, Art! Hugely appreciated and all the best : )
Awesome video. Love the Mryia, what a beautiful aircraft! Does the giveaway still work if you play MSFS on Xbox?
Love your videos!!! This is amazing and the music is stunning would love to know which music you picked???
Thanks very much SnB - I’m really glad you’re enjoying the content!
I’m afraid, I can’t now remember the music off the top of my head but, if you don’t mind trawling through the comments a little, I have noted all of the music used throughout the video. If you’re still really stuck after that, let me know : )
Cheers and all the best!
The aircraft was designed and built in the USSR in a single copy at the Kiev Mechanical Plant in 1984-1988.

Beautiful plane 😍😭
Love these videos. What’s the piece of music called, I remember it from the Chernobyl mini series. It’s beautiful.
great choice of choir hymns! 👌👏
Thank you very much, Ora! I’m glad you enjoyed them : )
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.
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.
How did you get those slavic voice in the cockpit - 6:56 - ? Does that come with the 225 (don't own it yet) or is that just your fabulous editing? Either way, it sounded SO immersive!
Editing
Music choice is 💯
Hey,mate sound is heaps better. Keep creating ✨️😂
Awesome! Thanks very much for taking the time, very much appreciated! : )
Now thats a plane
wow this flight simulator looks really nice men how you make that monster haha,, good fly!
Haha, thanks very much Toni, I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight!
I have recently started experimenting with touching up the visuals during editing however, the main thing you’re probably noticing; I do spend a lot of time adjusting the time of day and weather in my videos, as both can make a huge difference to how MSFS looks. Outside of that, I add a little bit of vignette to my external shorts and occasionally tweak the contrast a touch also.
I hope that helps a little. Cheers and all the best : )
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. If someone find that “political” they can move to Russia and experience the absence of real politics.
Anyways LOVE your channel and content ❤ Keep doing this amazing work!
Just out of curiosity, how many hours have you logged in MSFS 2020?
What song did you use for the cruise section of the video? It’s beautiful
Hello Mateo
If you search “Nova Radist Stala - Russian”, you should be able to find it on RUclips. It is indeed a beautiful piece of music : )
I hope that helps. All the best!
Great vid!
Just to note, it's called the "mRiya", not "Mira" :)
Would be better if the 3rrd person landing perspective was looking from down to up as much as possible rather than top-down.
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.
Hey there! I hope your 2023 was great. I was wondering if you had the chance to experience the emb 110. If you did, what are your thoughts about it?
Hi FP,
Thanks very much! I hope that you had a great year also and that 2024 will be even better still : )
I haven’t had a chance to try the EMB 110 yet, no. I do own the aircraft and may well take a look at some point but, it’s not a priority for me at the moment (only because there are so many other new addons coming out also haha).
I’m sorry that I can’t be of more help on that one (for now). All the best!
Thats fine amazing to have you comment! :)@@IntotheBlueSimulations
nice :-)
wish we got a AN124 tbh
I would have quite liked an AN124 also, AAS but, I can certainly see why Asobo went with the AN225 - sadly, this may well be the only way we’ll ever get to enjoy the aircraft again.
Cheers, all the best : )
The best yet….. now mach loop it lol j/k
has it been updated ?
What a Holiday-Treat for us! :) & Thank You for Supporting Ukraine 💙💛💙
Wonderful, Interesting and as always soo professional! Always I looking forward to your videos .
Nice Christmas Holidays for you Sir!
Thank You :)
Supporting Ukraine? You mean supporting Nazis and the theft of 70% of the money sent to the country? Keep watching the BBC, mate😂
Thanks very much SF, I’m really glad you enjoyed the video!
I hope you had a brilliant Christmas and wishing you all the best for the new year! : )

The Christmas Music/Song- Who is the Artist? Thanks
Hello Christy,
I’m afraid, I can’t remember off the top of my head however, I have replied to similar questions in the comments so, you should be able to find the answer if you scroll through a little (I believe I have given details for all songs used throughout the video : )
If you’re still stuck, let me know (but hopefully that should help). Cheers and all the best!
would love to know the name of the song playing during the intro!
Hi Jacob,
The name of the song is “Today the Virgin”, by Segei Tolstokulakov (I’m not sure what it’s called in Russian but, that should be enough info to find the piece on RUclips).
I hope that helps. All the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulationsthank you very much!
You’re most welcome! : )
would be fantastic to fly if the simulator wasn't riddled with bugs and MSFS server side download glitches that cause most steam users to never be able to fly again. happy newyear, hope your sim doesn't break like mine did...
Happy new year, Ferret!
Sorry to hear that you have been having issues with the sim. It really does seem to be “luck of the draw” with MSFS; I’m a Steam user also and can’t say I’ve encountered all that many issues. Hopefully, MSFS 2024 will be a more reliable experience for everyone.
All the best!
what is the name of the grafic mod if you are using one?
Hi Marcus,
I’m not using any graphical “mods” per se; most of the visual fidelity comes from adjusting the weather / lighting in MSFS itself however, for some shots, I do also tweak the contrast a little and add in some vignette during editing (both of which could be done with Nvidia filters etc, I suppose).
I hope that clarifies things a little. All the best! : )
Wow, Norwegian (Widerøe) chatter on Rovaniemi ATC…! Santa is from Norway after all, right…? 😂
Oh, well… All the best for the holidays, to everyone everywhere…! 🎅🏼
(Edit: The snow clearing crew at Antonov Int. also speak Norwegian - a female ATC ground operator cleared the crew to the runway just after landing…)
It's an ITBS Christmas tradition! Worldwide coverage of Norwegian ATC :)
@@oo3491 Hehe… Just now, the authorities greenlit Norwegian (airline) buying Widerøe. I really miss/wish for a Dash-8 in MSFS to fly Widerøe’s short field regionals… 😊
What is the music name at 18:25? Thxx! :D
Hi Zalan,
If you search “Nova Radist Stala - Russian”, you should be able to find it on RUclips (if memory serves me correctly : )
I hope that helps. All the best!
Thank you very much! :)
You’re most welcome! Cheers : )
Does anybody know the name of the song that's at the start of the video?
Hello Scott,
The name of the song is “Today the Virgin”, by Segei Tolstokulakov (I’m not sure what it’s called in Russian but, that should be enough info to find the piece on RUclips).
I hope that helps. All the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Thanks awfully. I tried using a music finding plugin to ID it but had no luck with it. Thanks for that and I greatly enjoyed the video as well.
You’re most welcome, Scott! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers : )

An-225 was build in USSR, not Ukraine.
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. All the best : )
A belated Merry Christmas to you, your family, and your team at iTB Simulations and Peaceful New Year. Congratulations on a beautiful festive addition to the simulator at a time when the world wants to celebrate love with each other.Wars caused by old men who know each other by brave souls being killed and don't know any better for their respective countries, so silly, isn't it? Anyway, moan over and continue with this masterpeice. As always done with great festive with professional abilities second to no others except OverKill. 😅 but cheaper lol just kidding 😂 😜 I love the video. I must dash, see a dark, strange bloke, run....... later, Buddy, what is your name? I'm so sorry ..😞 Slainte 👍 ❤All for an excellent cause, complete angel you are, Captain. God bless. ❤ Easter soon. Lol get your ideas in now, lads, especially if you are on your way to God, sorry war.😅All for doelas into the pockets of the rich. 🎉❤ (Shouldbe an award for most honest comment, lol keep me sane)😅
A belated Merry Christmas to you and yours also, Conleth! I do hope you all have a great 2024 as well.
Yes, it’s very sad, the state that the world finds itself in (on both sides of the fence); it’s puts into stark contrast, just how lucky many of us are. I’m really glad you enjoyed the video / celebration of the AN-225 though. Despite my best efforts, the comments section still seems to have gotten a little bit political haha - inevitable, I suppose.
Many thanks for watching and all the best once again! Take care in the new year : )
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 : )
Особенно Гимн незалижной в тему! Xoxoctan это было сделано в СССР а мы приемники, короче это была Декоммунизация!!! И не xyi тут губы дуть
This is Soviet aircraft not Ukrainian
God bless Ukraine and on towards victory!
2 very important things. It is a soviet aircraft not a ukranian aircraft as people in the west like to say, and also, if you want to challenge that, there were 2 key designers, one was russian and the other was ukranian, both were soviet.
So it’s a Russian and Ukrainian aircraft, huh.
@@thatguycarmine1 As was said it is Soviet. Wasting my time.
@@SkritzaSo important that literally nobody asked. Seems like this video may have triggered you…slava Ukraini
@@thatguycarmine1 in the west we use adjectives such as if, were, was, wasn't etc. Everybody, even babies, know this. It allows the relation of thoughts and time to compile. You talking present tense. Why? The only an 225 got destroyed nearly 2 years ago. You are clearly highly uneducated
Slava Ukraini
you mention the video is not meant to be political - what's political that viewers will pick up on then? ukraine exists.
Slava Ukraina.
Пилоты на заднем плане разговаривают на русском чистом и песня звучит православная.
АН 225 не имеет никакого отношения к современной Украине. АН 225 был построен в советском союзе. Успокойтесь вы уже.
Слава Украине! Привет из Москвы. Не думайте, что вся Россия за сумасшедшего диктатора Путина.
Background voiceover from the video "Novy Urengoy - flight to the North." And this voice acting is completely inappropriate. The video is about nothing.
russia is winning :D
Another brilliant video and wonderful to see the gorgeous Ukrainian aircraft in the sim
