FlyByWire Simulations A380 Demo (With Commentary): FlightSimExpo 2024  

This will definitely slip into 2025. I dont fault FBW but volunteer work means they are doing this whenever they can.

They’re taking the same time as developing an actual A380 lol

You guys are awesome, I really appreciate all you've given to the FS community. Makes a huge difference in immersion, your traffic alone is great & I love A320 also. Looking forward to you're A380 whenever that happens, but I know it will be worth the wait great !

respect to FBW. nothing but great respect.

As a retired Qantas A380 engineer, I agree 100% I changed to many fuel pumps. Super work guys!👍👍👍💯

Hope it will be released for MSFS 2028 🙏

Amazing!! Thanks to all Flybywire team for this marvelous work

Great job guys keep it up

Awesome addon. It looks awesome. thanks for sharing

Graduation, respect développeurs

Impressive a "PMDG quality" addon completely for free. I am totally impressed.

RESPECT to FBW team !!!

In hangars high, where dreams take flight, The A380 waits in night, A giant bird with wings of white, In shadows of the morning light. Mechanics' hands, with gentle care, Touch metal wings, precise and fair, Each rivet placed, each bolt aligned, A symphony of heart and mind. The whispers of the past they hear, The echoes of the skies so near, In rivets' click and engines' hum, The future calls, the day will come. Oh, mighty bird, we’ve dreamed of you, In azure skies of endless blue, We’ve waited long, with hopeful eyes, To see you soar, to touch the skies. In every wire, in every seam, You hold the promise of our dream, To glide on air, to breach the clouds, A silent roar, a winged shroud. And as we wait, with bated breath, For your first flight, defying death, Our hearts, they beat, with hope so pure, For in your wings, our dreams endure. So rise, oh giant of the air, With elegance beyond compare, We wait for you, with hearts afire, Our Airbus A380, you inspire.

AMAZİNG !!!!

donate to FBW, they deserve all the support

Goog job to FBW 🔥🔥

FBW gonna make me buy a PC real quick

Wow 😮🥰😍

Will there be an electronic checklist?

I hope Simrate works with it because in the a32nx there was only 2x possible

Can I dock 3 passenger bridges to the aircraft like in real life?

Any ideas when this is arriving?

We slowly become a LOL factor.

By the way, there is no such MCU. It’s called MFD (Multi Function Display)

Release date 31.2. 2089😂😂

why the demo on low performance PC !

Tried the airplane at FSexpo here are my notes for it: FBW A380X NOTES MAY 2024 (FLIGHT TIME 0.7 HOURS) MODEL: UPPER DECK PARTIALLY MODELED, YOU'VE SEEN PLENTY OF VIDEOS OF THE MODEL ALREADY. HANDLING: AIRPLANE IS A LITTLE MORE SLUGGISH THAN THE A320, BUT STILL VERY RESPONSIVE (LIKE FLYING A BIG A320). FBW SYSTEM WORKS AS IT SHOULD. BE CAREFUL DURING THE FLARE, YOUR DEPTH PERCEPTION WILL BE DIFFERENT THEN OTHER AIRPLANES DUE TO THE COCKPIT HIGHT (SIMLIAR TO FLYING A 747). SYSTEMS: AUTOLAND STILL WIP A LOT OF SYSTEMS STILL INOP, FMS WORKS, SEC FPLN, DIVERSIONS, ETC STILL INOP ECAM PAGES WORK, CHECKLISTS ABSENT, AUTOPILOT AND RNAV STILL HAVE SOME ISSUES (EX ATHR NOT WORKING SOMETIMES, PITCH UP TENDENCY FOR THE A/P), 30% BUTTONS WORK ON OVERHEAD, A380 RELEASE SOMETIME BETWEEN NOW AND 1 YEAR LATER. OIS AND TAXI CAM NOT PLANNED AT THE MOMENT, MAYBE IN THE FUTURE AFTER A380 RELEASE, SAME FOR DIFFERENT CABIN OPTIONS. PERFORMANCE: FUEL FLOW 7T/H PER ENGINE AT TOGA AT SEA LEVEL, 4T/H AT FL250, MAX TIME ACCELERATION 2X FLIGHT PLANNING AND NAVIGATION: SIMBRIEF WORKS LIKE THE A32NX AFTER LOGGING ON WITH MY OWN ACCOUNT ON THE EFB, TEST FLIGHT PLAN KSFO-VIDP, FLIGHT PLAN LOADED FROM SIMBRIEF WITHOUT ISSUES (SINCE THIS IS A LONG FLIGHT THE PLAN TOOK ~30-50 SECONDS TO FULLY LOAD AFTER PRESSING F/PLN REQUEST ON THE INIT PAGE), W & B AND FUEL LOADED WITHOUT ISSUES FROM SIMBRIEF, LOADED TO 556T FLAPS 2 TOGA PWR, BARELY ROTATED OFF OF 28R NEAR THE THOUSAND FOOTERS, VR IS 165 KNOTS, FUEL FLOW IS A LITTLE LOW COMPARED TO SIMBRIEF. ALSO MADE A FLIGHT PLAN LOCALLY NEAR KLAS, MANUALLY PROGRAMMED THE FMS TO FLY THE HOOVER8 DEP AND THE ILS 01L APP, THE AIRPLANE FLEW THE DEPARTURE AND APP WITHOUT ISSUES (TESTED THE AUTOLAND, STILL NEEDS WORK, LANDED AT -700FPM).

why did they upload this so late lol

le doy minimo un mes para que este a380 vea la luz

Pls, add the fbw paint on mfs2024.

Where I can get that plane??

when is the release??

I’m surprised LVFR isn’t using this open source code for their planes. They need it BADLY!

More tech and innovation than PMDG 😅 These guys are awesome!

is the a380 going to be free like the a32nx?

Huge accomplishment for fbw. Agreed hopw this is stable with sim rate 4x

Awesome stuff! Maybe FBW should reconsider making this a free addon, and get paid for their hard work. I wouldn't mind forking out some cash for this at all! especially if that means they can dedicate more time to the development and the completion of this and other planes :)

The backup attitude indicator looks unreadable.

Is this coming out on Xbox Series X?

The PMDG 777 is by far better than this FBW A380. Waste of time.

anticuado

Il will be better on X-Plane 12

Looks a bit janky if you ask me. They used their phones to scan the cockpit on the way back to economy. :-)

Please guys, charge for your work!!

i don't like the livery, it's too clean

eh ill skip on this one. PMDG777 is just too damn good.

I'm sorry I just flew the A320 Neo and perhaps it's an issue with the latest EXPERIMENTAL version, but there's an issue with the taxi.. the plane would accelerate to 50+ KNOTS while the thrust levers are on idle...
