TOM225x.zip works like a dream, thanks !

Great, this looks like it's what I need, I will install it and give it a try, many thanks.

What an extremely delightful post, but yes it does seem I am using the 'wrong sim'

i found and downloaded from two locations - https://flightsim.to/file/14839/antonov-an-225-mrija-v0-5 https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/24850/msfs-antonov-an-225-mriya/ Yes on looking further I don't think it is for FSX it seems to be for FS 2020 but it does mention that is was ported over from FSX, so I guess it did/does exist somewhere. Many thanks for your replies.

Hi, as a newbie (purchased fsx many years ago but rarely used it), i have been try to install Antonov AN-255 but the instructions are vague. I have downloaded and installed other aircraft where it says to copy certain files/folders into fsx and it's been no problem. it seems (and I could be wrong) that I should extract the zip to a folder called "Community" which does not exist anywhere on my C: drive (which is where FSX is installed). So I have tried extracting and copying the folders into the corresponding folders in FSX, I can now see AN-225 in the selection of aircraft available but when I try to fly it I get "Failed to startup the flight model". Could someone please help. I see others have installed AN-225 without any problems, it appears I am doing something wrong, or not doing something I should. Could someone provide me with a step-by-step guide. Thanks in advance
