With new technologies, improved features, and specific FSX missions, Wilco Publishing brings today the Airbus A380 to Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

Mission description (for FSX)

TOULOUSE - April 27, 2005.

The newly constructed A380 is rolled out of its hangar for its maiden test flight.
Airport and Airbus staff have joined government officials and members of the public to see the flight off.

As Official Test Pilot, you will embark your A380 for a 60 minutes Maiden Flight.
After a (hopefully) successful take-off from Toulouse Blagnac, you will be asked to execute a smooth touch-and-go in Spain, over majestic Pyrenees mountains and 'hollywood-type' cinematics sequences. During the flight, ground engineers will ask you to perform in-flight tests over beautiful landscapes and the Atlantic ocean. Then, you will be directed to the factory home base so that the test sensor data can be offloaded.

This Flight Simulator X mission, supplied in different complexity levels, allow beginner and expert pilots alike to train through a step-by-step tutorial, from cold and dark cockpit to full kiss landing. The missions feature English voices and subtitles displayed in English, German or French.

Very simple. Bought it for 20 dollars Canadian and that was too much. The Overland A380 was way better than this. The virtual cockpit has view out the window is blocked by the air frame support beam. The 2D panel is not great, if you click on the gauge to view it up close and click it again to restore it, the gauge disappears. The FMC is terrible. You get what you pay for. If you want a simple flying experience, (load FSX, load plane, select airport and mindlessly fly somewhere) go for it. If you're looking for a PMDG experience or close to it, don't waste your money. Its 20 bucks, what do you expect.

Naja, mit diesem Flieger hat sich Wilco nicht mit Ruhm bekleckert . <Die Instrumente sind etwas "lieblos" programmiert, da ist man von Wilco etwas anderes gewohnt.Die Funktionen sind zwar gegeben die Instrumente selbst sehen aus als ob sie aus der 737 von Microsoft geklaut wurden .
