The persistence feature is a great addition, but one thing bother me is the fact it's both per livery and engine type. (pmdg make the same mistake, but A2A offer the option to make it global or per livery)

I wish persistence to be a global feature whatever livery I use, or at least per engine type if it's not feasible.

I like to fly very different route routes and use different liveries according to the route flown. So maybe I will use some livery only a very few time and having the aircraft as a fresh new one is annoying.

I don't have enough time in my life to make every livery in an old persistence state. Especially since there is no option have an accelerated wear rate.

I hope you will understand this point of view.

Fly safe !

Firstly what an amazing aircraft you've made, it's so fun to fly, it's going to be an aircraft I use a lot on my channel!

I wanted to put forward a suggestion where you leave some of the cabin windows when in performance mode so that when filming out of the window it still feels like you're inside the cabin rather than an exterior wing view. Similar to what you've done on the A350 when using the no cabin variant. It means we can fly around with the benefit of performance mode but we still get that feeling of being in the cabin by having just a few of the windows still there.

Thanks so much!

I am using iniBuilds A380. My MSFS sim‑core navdata has been updated to the latest AIRAC cycle. However, the A380 FMS/OIS still shows an older navdata cycle.

I have selected "Sim Default" as navdata source in OIS 3rd‑party settings. I have restarted MSFS multiple times, cleared WASM cache, but the issue remains.

Could you please advise how to get the A380 to pick up the latest sim‑default navigation data?

Thanks.

This stuff is really hard to explain properly on text so I'd really appreciate if I could just chat with the sound people in a call somehow.

1. The spool in higher ranges sounds a little too whistle-like. If you can make it sound less like a whistle, the core component of the engine sound will sound better.

2. This is my biggest complaint of the current spool sounds. At30% THR, the engine pitch should settle at D natural. At ~71% N1, where METOTS caps the second spool, there is no growl. In audio clips and the ones I've been on, there is a growl at that sound point. The howl component of the spool will be a B flat and the growl should be an E flat there. This goes to say in general, the growl part of the engine sound starts too late in the spool.

3.) Additionally, the slats sound pitch is wrong. Currently, you guys have it close to a G natural. The pitch of the slats should be a slightly sharp F Sharp. The sound itself could also be reworked to be louder in certain parts of the sound. Real Recording at 5:56

You can hear the sound F sharp there. Additionally, you can hear how much louder the beginning wind up is. You can hear it loudly in the cockpit too as seen in this video at 6:37. And I have flown on-board the aircraft IRL multiple times so I can confirm the sound.

Again, this is hard to explain here. I would REALLY appreciate if I could talk this through on a call somehow. PLEASE seriously consider these changes.

I would like to submit a few feature requests and bug reports for the EFB:

Feature Requests:

1. Default Fuel on Initial Startup: Is it possible to disable loading the last saved fuel state on initial startup? Having fuel persist from a previous flight can be frustrating, especially after a CTD, Forced Shutdown, or connection drop (but sometimes starting with arbitrary amounts like 20,000 kg after finishing the previous flight and exiting MSFS). So it will be "revert" to defaulted amount every time starting new flight.

2. Turnaround Fuel Logic: Selecting the "Turnaround" option currently resets all tank fuel to 0 kg, which causes an APU shutdown due to fuel starvation. Could turnaround mode default to a minimum fuel level (e.g., 15,000 kg or something) instead?

3. Instant Loading Override: Can we allow the "Instant Loading" option to override an ongoing "Real Time" or "Fast Loading" process to save time?

Bug Reports:

1. ZFW Entry & Pax/Cargo Split: Entering a custom ZFW for a fully loaded aircraft sets Planned Pax to 388 while allocating an abnormally high weight to cargo. Especially after loading from SimBrief.

2. MACGW Shift on Instant Load: Importing from SimBrief using Real Time or Fast Loading sets a specific MACGW. However, immediately selecting Instant Loading after finished loading via Real Time or Instant shifts the MACGW noticeably rearward.

3. Fuel Edit Lock: After loading completes, the Planned Fuel Amount field occasionally becomes uneditable, preventing fuel adjustments up or down.

Thanks!

How are you?

Did you get knowledge of this freeware?

https://flightsim.to/addon/115328/taxi-cam-msfs-2024-pfd-taxi-cameras

It brings live taxi views to FBW's freeware A380 and both your A350 and A380.

In your A350 is it working well but in your A380 the taxi knob is "inop".

Can you make it operable please for this freeware?

Thanks a lot for considering - have a good time!

Thanks!

Love the A380 so far… however maybe one area which can be toggled on or off depending on the airline is the no smoking sign.

I know they are somewhat a thing of the past, however British Airways (and likely a few others) do still feature the no smoking sign rather than the no mobile sign.

I hope you change the sound as soon as possible

Hi Fly became the fourth European airline and the 14th global operator to fly the Airbus A380, marking the start of wet lease operations with the iconic aircraft. The Airbus A380 9H-MIP joined the Hi Fly fleet in 2018 and was dedicated to raising awareness for the Mirpuri Foundation's "Save the Coral Reefs" campaign. The striking livery featured a dark blue side showing devastated corals and a contrasting light blue side representing an untouched ocean with vibrant marine life. During its time with Hi Fly, the aircraft visited 53 airports in 33 countries across four continents, making it the leader in the number of airports visited by an A380 operator. Of all A380 operators worldwide, Hi Fly was the first European airline and second globally in terms of landing destinations – all achieved in just two years. The iconic 9H-MIP "Save the Coral Reefs" aircraft carried an important environmental message to millions of people around the world. The first A380, which had the registration 9V-SKA in Singapore, is at Lourdes Airport in the French Pyrenees. The aircraft received a fresh coat of white paint and had part of its interior removed.

The second aircraft, which bore the registration 9V-SKB, is expected to go to France in the coming days. The Portuguese airline Hi Fly uses a mixed fleet of Airbus aircraft, with one A321, five A330s, and five A340s. The company's main business is operating charter flights, and it is also called upon by major airlines to cover these flights when an aircraft undergoes unscheduled maintenance or when some other problem occurs.

I don't mean to nitpick as I appreciate the complexity and the hard work of getting this airplane released. I've been waiting for it for a long time!

Not sure if it is a MSFS2024 issue, as I've noticed it on a couple other jets, but for the A380 usually pitch cruise is almost never above 2.5 degrees nose up. I noticed on the inibuilds A380 the cruise pitch sits around 3 degrees or a bit higher. Not a huge deal but as someone who has a few thousand hours on the type it is definitely noticeable:) I include a screenshot from the sim and a pic I took last night (don't mind the FD pitch bar being slightly off, the aircraft was flying off AP2). You'll notice the bottom of the yellow airplane 'wings' sit slightly below the horizon in cruise in the real airplane.

Thanks to the inibuilds team, keep up the great work and looking forward to future 380 updates!

Just a suggestion for a future update, the A380 in real life especially when taking off or landing seems to have quite a lot more engine wobble, a bit like the FBW A380X.

I think adding this would help with the immersion, gives it a much more realistic look and you can get a better sense of the sheer size and weight of the aircraft.

Once again great release and I look forward to seeing this plane progress!

Reading the manual and getting too see some great animations added to the cabin for 'little pleasures' for those that do enjoy the cabin.
However, I'm a little disappointed that all of these are in the middle set of seats rather than the window seats...

I'm sure those, like me, who like the cabin and will spend time in there and now getting the chance to click some fun clicky animation things would very much appreciate if the animations could be moved to the window seats instead of the middle seats?

I'd definatly enjoy my first class viewings from a window seat rather than the middle, F seat....

The current cabin lighting system is already good and i thought this would be a fantastic addition to an already immersive A380 Cabin especially during night long cruises.

Just a thought!

I'm really enjoying this. Honestly, the best airliner in the sim right now, well done to everyone.
