Freeware Conversion A380-800 now available | News

Community Creator Levath brings a new addition to your virtual hangars with the release of the A380-800 for Microsoft Flight Simulator - ported from Microsoft Flight Simulator X. The A380-800, as ported to Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020), features the cockpit of an A320NEO (default) and includes one livery, with additional options available in a separately provided Livery Pack. A Simbrief profile is also included. Future updates are planned to enhance textures and overall cleanliness of the model. However, users should note a couple of current limitations: only the animations for engines 1 and 2 are operational, and the model does not emit light.

Installation instructions are provided via a YouTube link, and the creator is open to receiving comments and bug reports through direct messages on flightsim.to or via their Discord server. This port owes its existence to the foundational work by CanadianMods and was created under Microsoft's Game Content Usage Rules, utilizing assets from Flight Simulator X and Microsoft Flight Simulator. As of January 02, 2024, the file has seen almost 1000 downloads.

Meanwhile, two highly anticipated more professional releases of the Airbus A380 are underway, developed by iniBuilds and FlyByWire, respectively. However, both iniBuilds and FlyByWire have not yet provided a specific timeline for their A380's release. FlyByWire is working on a highly detailed simulation of the Airbus A380, announced back in 2020 and is committed to developing the A380 as a non-commercial product, while iniBuilds lately announced a complete overhaul of the A380 model, deciding to rebuild it from scratch and development is proceeding alongside the development of their also announced Airbus A350 - as commercial product.

I wasn't expecting this much attention but it's great to see other people show interest in my project, feel free to join my discord server if you want to vote for the next livery, I'm also working on a HQ paintkit that should be done soon! 👀

When starting, flap position 2,adjust center of gravity,[JET_ENGINE]thrust_scalar = 1.5 ;Correct for better climbing performance and when starting

Great..... just flew from Seattle down to Eugene, Oregon. No problems. Even landed perfectly, (for me). Only downloaded it just over an hour ago.

make sure you have extracted your file and it should show you a folder. within that folder there should be a folder called "A380" which if you go inside , you will find things like simobjects e.t.c. That "A380" Folder should be cut or copy pasted into the community folder. Then try. It should work. To extract files you can either download Winrar archiver or there might already be one . But putting a zipped file into community will not work. I hope that helps. I hope you can see this msg too. There are many videos on youtube about this :).

IF THE AIRCRAFT PITCHES DOWN RANODMLY AND BEHAVES WIERDLY OR IF THE AIRCRAFT DOES NOT APPEAR AFTER CORRECT INSTALL, TAKE THE ZIPPED FIE INSIDE THE A380 (it's literally called "Drop this in community if the aircraft behaves wierdly.zip") and drop it in community folder.

iniBuilds takes the virtual flight model of its aircraft very far. The Fenix and the a320neo from iniBuilds are of the same quality. But Fly by Wire is free, the only big difference!IniBuilds and Working Title are a good team, with the support of Asobo and MS. The future looks bright for MFS2020-24 with PMDG, JustFlight, A2A, FBW, BKS, IniBuilds, WT and FlightSim Studio.
