Thanks

You Mean Antonov-225,Boy that's heavy the biggest plane on earth I think,I assume you have my problem ,maybe a old procesor a p3 or no much video memory among many things,try the 737-800 the experience,Milton's Shupe Howard 500 vc is not heavy but it great IM TALKING ABOUT WITH VC, but without your machine,.. if the default models runs ok, you shoud try another model Without virtual cockpit,Gosh there's too many heavy models,there  beautiful and very soft Boeing 727,also a b747 very realistic runs ok but all without vc.,Im not home,I don't have internet,I can't remember...sorry

Hughes's H-4 had a larger wing span than the An-225 but the An-225 is bigger in all other deminsions.

I must admit though, I have seen the H-4 "Spruce Goose" and it is an impressive sight.  It's huge!!!

Spruce goose is a flying boat... which they usually won't count if talking 'largest aircraft'

downloaded some of the heavy Anatovs or Antanovs and It made my pc do somthing funny

OK did you know that aircraft was so big that they had to split the model in two to get it exported?

You people speak real plane or fake? I find biggest plane on internet but is fake for fs2002. Is Antonov 334X. Span is 340 feet. Maybe good imagination? No? Remember I where find it  No.  Sorry

ha, there's a fake plane, it has 6 engines, 3 stories, yet has only 2 main landing gear. found in the FS concept. if im correct. it's a beast to fly, but the rotating engines on the wingtips and on the back help (so one thinks...)

in wingspan the spruce takes it, but in length the 225 has the gold.
