The Airbus Industries A380 is the largest passenger aircraft ever built. It introduced an avionics system of unprecedented complexity, combined with a relatively simple user interface. Much of this has its origins in smaller Airbus models from the A320, A330, and A340 families—including the FBW system, which is even more detailed in the A380—while other features go far beyond this.
This package includes all 3 A380 versions in service: A380-841, A380-842, A380-861, with the liveries of all airlines actually operating an A380 (2025). - Not all systems are completely authentically replicated in this model—otherwise it would be much, much more expensive—but the most important aspects are all the better for it: the flight model and thus the flight behavior deviates less than 1% from the original (as far as the data available to us do indicate). For this reason, numerous real A380 pilots use our model for training purposes; at home and privately, however, they fly it with professional seriousness and confirm the quality of the flight model.
Of course, we are continuing to work on the model to improve it even further.
In order to have full functionality of the throttle and the related indicaters, you need to have a hardware throttle device. A plugin aquires the signals of your thrust lever and sends them to the aircraft, no matter on which axis slot your throttle is assigned to.
No matter what brand or model you have, it needs to be a lever or a slider with a potentiometer, so you can control the throttle axis smoothly. CH-Products and Saitek have fine stuff, but even a no-name is better than nothing. The only yet known problems come with proprietary driver logic hindering our built-in Airbus logig. You need to install a neutral driver then!
Computer System:
This A380 model for x-plane® 12 has slightly higher requirements regarding the computer performance than an average aircraft model. As a general rule one can say, if X-Plane 12 runs at or above 20 fps, this model also should work fine. - Otherwise lower the graphic settings of XP! - Apple M Chips and old Intel CPUs are both supported.
