FBW A380X | Sneak Peek 

Dubai is going to be one busy airport when this launches.

First there was Zibo... and now a new milestone in open-source development! Hats off, you guys are AWESOME!!

I still can’t believe we’re getting this for Free. Thank you FBW for this amazing project

The fact that the devs are providing this for free is so amazing. We should all be so thankful for all the work they've done so far with the A320 and now this. What a time to be a flight sim enthusiast! Thank you FBW!

I love the audio immersion wow!! not to mention the wide scope of details even the windscreen has dirty parts and smashed bugs! wow!!! THIS IS MSFS BEST EVER SNEAK PEEAK!!! WHAT A MACHINE!!! WE ALL WAITING IMPATIANTLY!!! YOU JUST GOING TO BRAKE THE RECORD BOYS !!!! WELL DONE TO ALL YOU ALL FBW TEAM ALL AND EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED AND PARTICIPATING IN DEVELOPMENT!! THIS IS GAME CHANGER!!! THE EXTERIOR DETAILS DIRT THE TYRES AND JUST SPEECHLESS! CANT WAIT FOR THIS MACHINE!!

i was NOT prepared for that transition at 9:59. well flippin’ done, FBW team!!!

PMDG: "Hey FBW, look at this" (Presents a two minute video of a 777) FBW to the World: "Hold my beer!"

FBW Set's yet another standard. Cant wait to see it finally in my MSFS hanger.. Donating now to keep these great folks even more motivated. Its been an epic journey without drama's this will be a milestone product when it is released.

Peak simulation reached when Toulouse control has the right french accent :)

1 day after the pmdg 777 sneak peek.. absolutely stunning!

WOW!! A massive well done FBW Team. When I start up the sim, your A320 is the aircraft I fly the most and now am looking forward to the A380. Thank you, thank you thank you. Keep up the amazing work. :)

Incredible work - cannot wait to enjoy this product!

Congratulations to the entire FlyByWire Simulations team, this is looking absolutely amazing.

That cabin reveal was AMAZING! I assumed the A380 would just be a cockpit and exterior model like the A320, but the fact that it will have a cabin too makes it so much better for me. I know it's not a mandatory feature, but seeing it elevated my hype even more!

I really appreciate your planes being free but how can such high quality be free? It's truly amazing. Well done devs, you must be so proud of what you can do. Thank you once again!

9:59 "Are we there yet?" (Great transition, I am looking forward to fly the a380 in our virtual skies soon:)

This is certainly the 7th or 8th time I've watched the video and I never tire of it. I don't have the words to describe the beauty of this plane made possible thanks to your hard and professional work despite your volunteer status. Many thanks for this work, we are all undoubtedly looking forward to setting foot in the cockpit ❤

Let's go A380X, you are amazing FlyByWire😍

It looks absolutely stunning. The dedication and level of detail the team puts in a freeware is simply unmatched. Thank you FBW for your passion and selfless giving to the community. Please give us a way to repay you.

The transition to the cabin was goosebumps worthy

I love that it is coming with a whole interior

It's an incredible accomplishment what these lads have accomplished, for free. I will proudly be donating once this thing drops. You guys are amazing!

I am so jealous of how good the graphics are. I mean I got a quite good PC already but these graphics in THIS plane are absolutely insane. Thank you fly byy wire team for making this for us!

Absolutely phe-no-me-nal. Can't wait!

This has got to be the most eagerly anticipated release ever! Love the work FlyByWire does!

GPL license at its best. Magnificent example of creator collaboration!

You know, even if the A380 is discontinued and will leave the airlines in the next decades, FBW created the real A380 legacy. Something that can last

Can't wait to have the A380X for my 1-hour-ish flights lol

What an amazing time in history to be a VATSIM pilot, so many exciting projects on the horizon!

Man FBW, you guys deserve all the praises, the dedication to create this beauty for the sim community as a freeware it goes beyond all. Great work! 🎉

FBW just keeps setting the bar higher and higher! Way to go guys, amazing stuff

Dedication, hard work, innovation. its all about the detail. Applause for the FlyByWire team. Thank you all so much for your good work.

The attention to detail on this plane is amazing, can’t wait for it to come out in the sim

THIS IS INSANE!! The amount of work that has gone into this. The attention for details. A HUGE WELL DONE to the whole FBW team.

Loved the ignitors firing on the APU startup, lovely attention to detail!

The fact that this is gonna be free is already making me so hyped for this release!

Oh wow beyond impressive!!! Amazing. I don´t see any similarities to the A320 systems I am used too, an exciting new flying computer awaits!

Looks perfectly flyable. I think at this point FBW should release it to the community as alpha so it encourages other contributors to contribute to the plane. It is hard to contribute if the plane is still not released. It is perfectly fine if not all features are working upon releasing but that is fine, it is a community project and community will contribute with features and fixes

Excitement levels through the roof right now. The sound of those Trents at TOGA, oh boy oh boy do they sound good!!! The transition to the cabin through the IFE was such a cool effect. Can't wait to launch time! :)

This video without release date is torture 😅

PMDG 777 comes out next Tuesday. What about this ?

Da kommt Großes und Gutes auf uns zu. Chapeau FBW!

This is the true power of Open Source. Amazing work

FBW, Excellent work! I also want to say thank you for your contribution to the flight sim platform. Cheers.

Those of you wanting to do an authentic A380 take-off, first only engines 2 and 3 are throttled up, then at around 40 - 50 knots engines 1 and 4 are throttled up, this is because engines 1 and 4 tend to sit right at the very edge of the tarmac, and throttling them up whilst stationary risk's sucking debris into them, this is why you usually hear a double spool up during in an A380 take-off roll

Sneak Peak that 10mins long, god we love Flybywire! Cannot wait to fly and truly awe-inspiring work! Might need a new life, new PC and all the time to fly long haul in 2024! PS. You just know there be people trying to land them on Oil Rigs, Helo pads and the Dubai Hotel 👌

Great Work, well made, well done. Nothing less, should be said towards the Fly by Wire Team. Post finished watching... Fly by Wire, blowing my mind and raising my expectations since the A32NX came around. Fly by wire just casually adding a cabin to the A38X: "don't mind me"

It's breath-taking. I've now watched this video three times (I never do that). It leaves me speechless each time and I'm very proud to have been among the early funders of this project. What a long way the team has come in a relatively short space of time. The dedication of all of the members who make this happen is astounding and the flight-sim community will be thanking you for many years to come. My final shout-out I reserve for the project leadership. I, literally, have no idea how you manage this, and keep such a disparate group on track. Thanks to you all; you deserve every credit and ounce or drop of kudos which comes your way. Here's to the A32NX and to the A380X when she is born

Nice to see charts on ND. Hoping they will server/client the new touchscreen MCDU like the 320 mcdu. I will continue to fly the fbw 320 until complete set of Air Manager panels are available(including overhead). Flying the fbw320 with complete set of AM panels on 2-3 touchscreens and 3x32" lg nano monitors 1440 res, is the only way to fly. Not affiliated.

Pmdg 777 before Fbw a380 is Crazy 💀

I was just a boy when theses planes started flying in 07 for the first time, and they have been my favourite plane ever since, thank you so much FBW for finally bringing this majestic bird to MSFS!

Coming to your sim in 2030 =) god it looks great though

The sound of those engines makes my excitement for this a lot higher

Boy how time flies, already been 5 months since this sneakpeak. Hope to see it soon

The fact that this is gonna be free is just insane to me. Good work FlyByWire!

I must say that it's a great trailer and the plane looks like a dream, I've been flying the A320 FBW for years but I had no idea that the 380 was so much more advanced. I can't wait to get behind the controls of this monster

"let's make an amazing showcase of the aircraft" "should we show that we have a full modeled cabin too?" "I mean that seems like a minor detail but sure, you can mention it briefly at the end" side note: that was an amazing transition and I'm siriusly stunned and can't wait for the release

what a beauty! With this and PMDG 777 and the headwind A330 we have some nice choice of long range aircraft! Thank you FBW!

I already ordered my second Thrustmaster TQA for that beefy quadriple quadrants. Marvelous! Can't wait the release.

FBW... you are (potentially) a menace - for the VATSIM controllers who will have to deal with so many of these "Super" aircraft once it's released. Well done to the team for the hard work and can't wait to fly it myself.

please release this :)

Géant !!! Un si bel avion et surtout un tel travail ne peut être gratuit, cela mérite rémunération, je culpabiliserai à l'utiliser si ce bel oiseau était gratuit. Je sais il y en a qui vont râler mais soyez honnête, vous imaginez le travail que cela représente ! Bravo ! A toute l'Équipe !

Wouldn't mind having this thing as early access no matter the bugs, anyway great work guys!

Can't believe this is free, you could easily charge PMDG money and people would still buy it in droves. Same as with the 320. Just amazing stuff. 👍

this is a work of ART. well done team FBW your hard work and effort clearly shows in every second of this video.. cant describe how beautiful and detailed it looks

its been 3 months plz post something

Fbw A380x the best project and most anticipated project in msfs I cant wait to see it in my hangar soon Impressive work guys keep up.

My 1st airbus im gonna learn , absolutely epic. Thanks everybody involved so much 😊❤

The amount of work and effort gone into building the a380 is truly amazing.

Vatsim will be crazy with this

Absolutely gorgeous.... I would pay for it... I will donate to Flybywire because you do a great job as always ❤ thank you to all Flybywire team. 🎉

Amazing!! Please make the flight feel as real as it gets, I plan on basing a real sized a380 simulator off of your product. All the best can’t wait!

Better modelling and textures than on the PMDG 777 - and this is freeware. Great job!

FBW team, you left me speachless! This looks very good and very promising. Can't wait to it install it and fly.

You just can't but to appreciate what the FBW team are doing. Keep up the amazing work!

It feels illegal for this to be free 😭🤚

Amazing work! I hope some of the custom systems will find their way down to the A320 as well eventually

Hope soon

Cannot wait doing longhauls in this beast! Thank you for creating this fbw team😍🔥✈️

Please no audio bugs lmao. Edit: There is no ear rape, it was beautiful 😅

OMDB is my home airport. Every time I fly out I try to use the A380. Being my favourite aircraft I actually cannot wait to fly this in the sim. Following the progress over the last few years has gotten me so excited. It absolutely amazing. Well done to the FBW team!!!

Knock knock. Anyone home?

Ok, so did anyone else notice not only the wing flex when landing, but also the engines flexing as well? Next level for sure, I'm not a big A380 fan, but very impressed with the plane so far!

The a380 has short wing flex and it’s been a long time coming

You can release it

That looks frigging awesome. Well done to the entire team that has worked on that

WOW 👏👏👏👏

THIS is a work of art. I bow in respect to those who have prepared it. Thank you.

`will I be able to fly a real A380 after this?

Cant wait! I'm a Vatsim ATC at Seattle ARTCC. Look forward to Controlling new pilots flying the A380 that have no idea what they are doing ;) I will also fly it on Network :)

msfs 24 is coming out and this hasn't lol

FBW is is going to be crowned as having the most popular airliner in all of flight simulation. And In case it crossed your mind, we never forgot about you😊. Congratulations

Absoultely great video work on a beautiful project. There is so much detail that's missed on only one watch. It's all coming together REALLY great, going to be amazing once we can get our hands on it!

Wow einfach unglaublich schön und toller Sound von den Flaps und den Engines. Ich kann es kaum erwarten bis der A380 endlich raus kommt und ich dann von Frankfurt nach Dubai fliegen kann ;-) Großartige Arbeit von Euch FBW Team!!!

Just watched this on my iPad, now going down to my “Sim Shed” to watch it on my 55” 4K monitor along with the 5.1 sound up full. Looks stunning 😀

Had to watch it couple times to appreciate it properly. Incredible work for sure thx for being so passionate about fsim.

it better release before gta 6

Vatsim will have a meltdown, and I'm so here for it 😍 gorgeous aircraft

will it be free

I have been so excited for this ever since it was first announced and I am even more so now. Finally we will have the A380 in a flight sim after all this time.
