Very good plane!

Cant Cold start ! first off the cockpit is the a320 and many butttons dont work cant test fire cant turn on nav because its permanently on and some are skipping stages like seatbelt (cant put it on auto just on or off) and it can only start 2 of the 4 engines... shit mod

I found this on Flightsim.to and thought it would be a great experience, especially flying routes like Dubai with an Emirates-style vibe. Unfortunately, the experience ended up being very frustrating.

First, the cockpit is clearly not made for the A380. It looks like an A320 cockpit, and you can immediately notice the throttle only has two levers even though the A380 has four engines. That already breaks immersion and makes it feel like the aircraft is just a reskin rather than a proper Airbus A380.

The textures are also quite low quality. It feels like something straight out of an older simulator rather than something designed for modern graphics. I could forgive that if the aircraft flew well, but the flight model is where the biggest problems appear.

Takeoff felt extremely heavy and strange. The aircraft required unusually high speed before it even attempted to lift, and overall the handling felt unrealistic. During my attempt, the aircraft was already accelerating past roughly 240–250 knots and it still struggled to lift off the runway, which feels far beyond what would normally be expected for an airliner of this type.

During approach and landing, the aircraft behaves even worse. If the throttle is set to idle, the plane instantly drops like a rock instead of gliding normally. It feels less like flying an airliner and more like controlling something with wings that barely generate lift.

Turning is also problematic. Even simple turns can cause the aircraft to rapidly lose altitude, making it very difficult to control on approach.

Another strange issue appears when switching camera views. In cockpit view, if you move the camera out of the cockpit, the entire aircraft model disappears, leaving you basically flying a floating cockpit. Switching back to external view brings the aircraft body back again, which is very immersion-breaking.

Overall, the idea of having an A380 in MSFS is exciting, but this particular port feels unfinished. It might be fine for screenshots or casual experimentation, but for actual flying it becomes frustrating quickly.

Pros

It does add an A380 model to the simulator.

Works as a quick way to see the aircraft externally.

Cons

Cockpit appears to be reused from another aircraft.

Flight model feels unrealistic.

Low quality textures.

Camera issues where the aircraft body disappears in cockpit view.

Difficult and unstable handling during takeoff and landing.

Because of these issues, it may be better to wait for a more complete A380 add-on rather than relying on this FSX port.

Lo descargue en el 2020 y se corrompe, se enciende y se apaga solo muy rápido y no entiendo porque y también tiene la cabina del a320 en vez del a380 . Pero esta bonito el diseño.

Sconsigliato, se state cercando un A380 andate a cercare A380, Aircraft, scaricate Fly By Wire A32 e A380. Scaricate l'app presente dentro il file e apritela, li troverete sia l' A320 che l' A380 Fly By Wire.

can't really start the engines

A380 is Good

please make it in 4k

autopilot is strange .... cant function !

could u add more liveries for me there is just qatar instead of there being ana and emirates and etihad pictured

whenever i put my gears down the plane seems to dip massively in altitude

The cockpit is a bright neon pink?? Please help

VERY GOOD FOR A FREE PLANE GOOD JOB!!!
