1) Unzip TOM124X.ZIP into a temporary location, your desktop for example
2) Move the AN124 folder from your temporary folder (desktop) into your
FSX simobjects/aircrafts folder.
3) Copy the six .fx files from your temporary locations effects folder
into your FSX/effects folder.
4) Copy your default Boeing747-400.cab file from your default Boeing747-400
panel folder into your FSX gauges folder.

As you can sea, almost everything of the virtual cockpit of the AN124 (and in a few weeks, the AN225)
is hand painted and does not base on photos. Also most of the switches and gauges of the cockpit do not
the same as they do in reality.
I never had the chance to visit a real world AN124 or AN225. I would like to create a much better cockpit
which would contain as much "real world" functions as possible.
I would like to visit a AN124 with my camera to take as much pictures of the outside and the cockpit
as possible and to ask as many questions as possible to the crew. I am living near EDDL in Germany and can go
to any airport within 500 kilometers around (With a box of german beer in my hand, of course).
If you could make this one possible, me and a lot of flightsim people around the world would be the most happy
people on earth.
