I am having the same issue and did the same steps you did. Never got to fly the plane I bought which is disappointing. Hopefully this gets fixed as the a340 looks really good!

My example. I prepared route OMDB SBGR, flt time 14.30, but after import OFP to 380, I recieved msg "DES FOB" and there was a fuel deficit 33,4 t. During flight the deficite reduced to 27,8 t and finally fuel run out about 2h30mins before landing https://dispatch.simbrief.com/briefing/186778927

Hi Ini Team, I've come across a few strange things, the labels on the lights on the right wing are reversed, and the parts around the lights on the left wing have a different dark texture without markings, which differs from the right wing

Additional reference for RA callouts if needed, although quality wouldn't be the best if ripped straight from youtube @iniKyle https://youtu.be/3oAxCEvgSuw?si=4mf_KwLUga0OTMj4&t=4749 (hooked up to ACP panel) 2500 tonality is different, well tbh all of it. Loudspeakers: https://youtu.be/qcXQKQukxkI?si=jdhg8ngHtUmCuLEB&t=67 Would be great if we get an option to choose between the two, personally not a fan of a headset one, when I have noise cancelling turned off which is like 99% of the time

Notice how i manually selected toga and it still gave me a flex temp. I also manually changed it to flaps 3 packs off it originally was packs on and suggested a flaps 2 takeoff.

Hi! I'm not sure if this is due to an engine limitation, but the a350's sun shields don't actually decrease the sun's brightness very much -- there's still this sunstar texture which makes the sun appear as bright as without the shield. Hopefully it's possible for you guys to remove the glare. Thanks!

They probably won't. I think most devs are devoping for 2024 only.

Nice to know I am not alone and its interesting how your crashes were the same as mine! When i was flying from Dubai to the UK, I had a CTD near Greece. Going to NYC, it was around Bucharest. I cleared my rolling cache and disabled pretty much every addon I have and I will try another long haul tonight and see what happens. This is truly weird, as I also have not had any CTD's before, and I have flown the A350 ultra long haul many times in these same areas.

This can actually be correct, especially for such a large aircraft. In order to actually prove miscalculations though, it would be essential to provide the exact parameters (weather, weight etc.) and runways you used. The A380 takes up a lot of runway by default and the Vspeeds are calculated with lots of preconditions like runway condition, OAT, wind conditions but also obstacle clearance criteria (not sure if this is modeled here) or noise abatement procedures. So it can absolutely be the case that at certain weight/weather conditions for a specific runway, the Vspeeds don't change because the calculator deems it necessary for a certain required climb performance. The A380 is also a 4-engine aircraft, which means losing an engine on takeoff roll at exactly V1 is not as hindering to acceleration as for a 2-engine aircraft. In the latter case, you'll lose 50-70% of your thrust, which prolongs the distance and time it takes to get from V1 to Vr. On the A380 it's maybe 25-30%. This is all taken into account when calculating V-speeds. So naturally, as V1 and Vr are only a few knots apart most of the time, I could imagine that the A380 doesn't really make a difference between FLEX and TOGA in terms of V-Speeds at higher takeoff-weights. As long as the runway isn't too short to begin with, the speeds don't need to change :)

Tried again. Quit MSFS, restarted in VR. Same flightplan. Took off from OMDB. Just below FL100 every button on the flight deck lights up. Some switches and knobs are floating in the air. EFB works as normal, all the screens seem normal. Flight continues and everything is ok in 2D.

I just tested this example from the original post... Also Dubai but runway 30L, I manually set weather to clear skies and OAT 40°C. I loaded the aircraft vie EFB to exactly MTOW. As you can see, the calculator only suggested me TOGA (I tried this 3 times) with Flaps 2. No Flex temp. to be seen anywhere (and you also wouldn't expect so). As a result, I used about 70% of the runway before achieving actual lift-off. What I noticed during some calulation trials is that the performance calculator doesn't give much variance in output values, especially for Vr, when at MTOW. I tried lowering the temperature gradually until about -10°C, there was almost no difference in the Vspeeds, only TOGA and always Flaps 2. This only started to change when I also lowered the takeoff weight. What would be important to know @oledurt which FLEX TEMP did it provide you? I find it really curious that your T.O Perf. suggest you a FLEX T/O at 39°C OAT at MTOW... When mine understandably doesn't. Also knowing your calculated Vspeeds would be helpful. regarding @Veldetta I just looked at the SimBrief numbers, it shows TORA for 24L KLAX at 10285ft, not sure why you got 9541ft. That's less than 3000m. Maybe faulty sim scenery? Depending on which variant you used, SimBrief says No-Go for the EngineAlliance variant. Also with RR it's only possible with bleeds off, TOGA and Flaps 3. Even with SimBrief's runway numbers (10885ft runway and TORA 10285ft) it's a very close call. Vr is reached just before the piano keys on the other side. You also have a slight tailwind, which doesn't help :D What I also noticed is that the CG seems to be quite far forward by default, at least if you deliberately try to max out your load. In my tests I saw that you almost can't depart at MTOW without the CG being out of limits (forward). Depending on how accurately this is modeled, it would be something to consider. If your CG is out of the forward limit on takeoff, especially at MTOW, you'll have a hard time lifting your nose. Maybe the envelope depiction on the EFB is wrong but anyway it would be great to have a possibility to manually adjust the CG by moving loads between compartments @iniBuilds (or maybe I'm stupid and didn't see it 🤔). If you load Cargo and Pax full, your ZFW CG is at the very forward edge of the envelope. Like I said, not sure how accurate all of these numbers already are but going by the current state of things, takeoff at MTOW is basically impractical in most cases because the CG is not in limits. Sorry for this long post but I found this to be a very interesting topic, especially since many other people and myself included don't seem to have this issue. I hope I could put some things into perspective, maybe you have time for some further testing. I wish you good luck ☘️

Is there any progress happening?

But how, no keys or buttons are being used simply a mouse click? And it is only the SD control section, mouse clicks anywhere else function as expected.

Hey, found some more panel gaps. If these pictures arent adequate let me know, its on both sides of the pilots at their knee level.

The current RR version of the a380 is the A380-841. The 842 is the higher thrust version of the trent 900 engines. Airlins like Qantas and Emirates have the 842, not the 841. Would add more variety, and would make it more realistic, based on the airline.

I think I've sorted the VDGS out, deciding to take the easy option of uninstall/reinstall. I used the Option to add the "Lite" GSX profile and the VDGS display now looks normal. Still unclear about whether the Noolaero folder can/should stay or not if using GSX Pro, so I renamed it. Regarding performance, it's still not great for me. I know EGLL is heavy so perhaps I need to reduce some in-sim settings as well as those selected via IniManager, but any tips would be welcomed as EGLL is a regular for me.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say this has to be a keybind issue.

It's the same voice used by all the airbus airliners, Probably just the microphone used making it sound different.

No i mean, the voice is different. It’s little different then the current now.

Hello! I am not sure if this is real bug or happenning only on my end but normally I track my flights with Volanta and generally departure and arrival estimations are on time, or very slightly different because of shortcuts or other reasons. But with A380, I generally arrive ~3 hours early then planned time where total flight time is ~8hours. No jump ahed function is used, only 4x time acceleration. And this happens on all of the flights. Is there anyone else having similar problem?

As far as I tested, it is not getting less during flight by itself but if you use lavatories or shower then it is getting less.

Is it possible (or planned) to disable Multi-Jetways and use the Scenery with only standard Jetways like before? (i.e. OMDB, EGLL) In its current form it is rather immersion breaking instead of benefiting the Experience (needing to do something manual for Jetways, Pax not visible). The GSX Compatibility is a far stretch when it is rather incompatible to every Addon expecting to control (at least one) Jetway via the standard SimEvent. Because the Multi-Jetways cannot be controlled externally through other Addons there is nothing someone could do about. So I'd rather go for Single-Standard-Jetways that are truly compatible.

Umm... It's not the clickspot that's the problem, it's that it shouldn't be possible to open the window in the first place once the fuselage is pressurized - the differential pressure should make that impossible.

Dear iniBuilds, Whenever there is a loadsheet or ACARS message coming in on the A380, the following will happen: Aural warning "company alert" followed by company alert flashing on the EWD in green and white or yellow. See the example in action at 10:25 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oAxCEvgSuw Professionaly I am a SITA Aircom admin, so this would be nice that it is accurately represented. Thanks again for the A380. Still unbelieveable.
