What is it?To help us better diagnose and fix issues, the iniBuilds A380 Airliner now includes an optional automatic WASM crash reporting feature. If a WASM crash occurs, the A380 can automatically send a diagnostic report directly to our development team, no manual reporting needed on your end! What gets sent?If enabled, a report will include: Add-on version The failed component Relevant technical counters Aircraft position Flight plan The latest portion of the diagnostic log No personal data or session-identifying information is collected. All reports are sent over an encrypted connection and are only accessible to our development team for crash investigation purposes. …

In order to cater the A380 experience to users on as many hardware combinations as possible, we have provided several options to help balance visual fidelity with hardware requirements. Dynamic Performance OptionsIn the Settings app of the EFB, you can find two performance optimization options: Performance Mode hides the cabin model when the cockpit door is closed. If you would like to walk around the cabin, simply open the cockpit door and the cabin will appear. It will disappear again once the door is closed. We consider this a High Performance Impact option. FX Performance Mode turns off particle effects. This includes condensation effects on the wings and engines, as …

Set desired REVERSERS ON AXIS option Set desired INPUT AXIS COUNT option Set desired INPUT DEADZONE % Move your hardware throttle axis to the position you want to define as a detent (e.g. IDLE/CLB/FLX/TOGA) Click the SET (DETENT) POSITION button on the EFB to define the current position to the detent chosen Observe new…

Radio Altitude (RA) callouts are automated aural announcements that alert the flight crew to the aircraft's height above ground during approach and landing. They provide critical situational awareness in the final phase of flight, helping pilots monitor descent rate, verify height against the expected profile, and prepare for landing or go-around decisions. You can toggle which RA callouts you wish to hear via the EFB Callout Settings page. (Click to enlarge image) Changing RA CalloutsOpen the EFB and navigate to Settings > Callouts Toggle the switch next to the desired callout to enable or disable it. Your selections are automatically saved and will persist across se…

The onboard printer is used to create hard copies of key flight data like Take-Off (T.O) Data, Flight Plan (F-PLN), METAR, Mailbox messages, and more. While this data is already accessible via the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), Onboard Information Terminal (OIT) and Flight Management System (FMS), printing allows you to cross-check and reference information physically on the cockpit tray table. (Click to enlarge image) How It WorksThe printer simulates a realistic print process using a combination of: 3D model animations - representing the physical printing mechanism Show/hide attachments - simulating the printed page being fed out and placed onto the tray table in the coc…

RAAS (Runway Awareness and Advisory System) is an optional feature designed to enhance situational awareness during ground operations by alerting the flight crew to the aircraft's position relative to taxiways and runways. What is RAAS?RAAS provides both visual and aural alerts to help prevent runway incursions and improve positional awareness during taxi, takeoff, and landing phases. Alerts are displayed on the PFD and ND, accompanied by corresponding audio callouts. Available Alerts: ON TAXIWAY: Indicates the aircraft is on a taxiway. ON RUNWAY: Indicates the aircraft has entered a runway. APPROACHING RUNWAY: Alerts when approaching a runway during taxi. Enabling / Dis…
