Flying the AN-225 on Vatsim: Tips and experiences

Hi all,

Recently took the beautiful AN-225 onto Vatsim for the first time. Mostly on Unicom so it wasn't all that interesting. I would love to take it onto the network more often, but I'm a bit anxious to do so, because it requires extra care from the controllers. And if they have to give extra care to me, I should definitely know how to handle her properly.

So I was wondering if anyone here has experience flying the beast on Vatsim, and how controllers handle it.
This includes things like the 2 min warmup before / while lining up from the manual.

Also, my main gripe with flying this seriously is that I never really know where to park it... If anyone has suggestions on that regard, I'll take any and all tips.
