though I'll admit I've been flying the Tom Rathge AN-225 with the ported 747 cockpit, I am interested to see the MSFS version with a proper cockpit and full details!
The Hughes Hercules seems to cheat and pair up its eight engines; would be awesome if SU12 brought 8-engine support, because I'm gonna need 10-engine mixed support for that B-36 someday.
I think someone said in the livestream that MSFS will support up to 16 engines as of SU12, but there may be performance issues with the sim trying to do CFD calculations for 16 propellers.
FSElite put up an article with some nice screencaps from the stream, in case anyone else missed it, like I did
And now I'm even more excited, I suppose this will sate me until the C-5 comes out
EDIT: Also I'm pleased to note that the entire cost of the aircraft (20 bucks US) is going to Antonov to restore the real 225.
This one is going to be a ton of fun for me when they get six-engine support, since I have enough Saitek/Logitech Pro Flight Throttles to use. Pushing six levers around for throttle control will be interesting.
The feature on the AN-225 during the Developer Livestream this week is well worth watching if you haven't already. It includes and interview with the Antonov folk
