Systems

Hi everyone, just like any other ini plane, the A380 is also plagued with an unrealistic simulation of engine spooldown. N1 values, sounds and visuals spool down around 100% faster than real life. Here's a visual comparison of v.1.0 and real life footage (taken from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnxvvb4sSvE):

When flying at higher levels, the airplane obviously switches to Mach speed. When trying to Pre-Select a manual Mach speed, the digits appear but are frozen to the managed speed value. For example, when flying managed Mach .84 and going up 4 ticks, the digits stay at Mach .84 but as soon as you pull the speed knob, mach .88 appears.

When a secondary flight plan—previously created in SimBrief and containing step climbs—is requested via CPNY F-PLN REQUEST in the FMS (SEC INDEX), these step climbs are retained during the subsequent SWAP ACTIVE* operation. This works flawlessly on the INI page. Is this intended behavior?

When jettisonning fuel, the system logic allows the animation to show fuel jettisoning from the aircraft when the arm and jettison buttons are pressed even when an error has been made in entering the jettison gross weight such that it is higher than the current gross weight. Under such circumstances, the animation continues to play until the jettison button is pressed to off and guarded despite the fuel weight not decreasing (as it is below the jettison g.w.). Not a huge problem, and doubtless a little niche, but worth noting if it hasn't been picked up elsewhere .

All the engine driven hydraulic pump disconnect switches are able to be selected and operated through the guards and the guards cannot be selected or opened. Also the switch can be operated as an on/off swtich although I thought that switches with red guards operate systems that are not resetable in air, only by mechanics on the ground.

I've noticed that when you select water refill on the EFB, the real time timer is always set to 01:20, no matter the quantity, and in every case it takes significantly longer than this, often 30 mins, so I think this might be a bug. Screenshots attached.

Hey together First of all. Great release. Now to my question. Is there a option to reset the mcdu after a flight. The turnaround on the oans is not resetting the mcdu. Have i missed something? thanks

Hello, i've noticed since the A350 that the BTV apply too much pressure on the Brakes as it will reach 20kt way before the planned exit in this case you can see that i selected the Exit before the Dry marker : V exit at KLAX 24R and it still managed to reach below 20kt before the exit, i had to take over. In a AF A350 video, the FO is quite new on the A350 and the captain explain a bit about the BTV and to trust it as it will make sure to suddenly Apply a bit more brake pressure in order to exit around 20kt on the video below, you can see there are able to vacate with still the BTV on around 20kt and the plane was earlier still around 40kt just before vacating …

Decided to test the 'Jump Ahead' function - mid flight and at cruise altitude, I selected the waypoint further ahead in the flight and hit go... I was teleported to where I should be (hurrah!) but in a +9000(or more) V/S climb and immediately hit with an accompanying 15s auto-save - needless to say, things went rather south quite rapidly after I 'regained control of the aircraft'.... Poor passengers..! XD

Hello, when in managed mode ; DES, shouldnt the FL160 be in the magenta color as it's a constraint (and same thing for the ALT in the FMA?) ? i think i notice the same thing during climb in managed mode

Hello! I'm facing issuses with the OANS as the texture resolution is very low. The texture resolution in my MSFS settings is set on ultra. Any Ideas? Thank you! Best regards

Hello, Please flag this as it is urgent. The thrust reversers do not work in their purpose to decelerate the aircraft. Users would not notice this as usually autobrake, BTV, brakes with aerodynamic braking would help slow it down on normal landing. I tested it and asked others to test. If you try to activate reversers, sounds and animations work but it does nothing to the plane in idle or max reverse. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I Believe that this runway condition entry i've circled on the screenshot should not exist on the A380. Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't it supposed to be available on the ROPS Version 2 in which the aircraft has the runway condition selector knob (such as A350)? Thank you!

Hello, First of all, congrats for the release of the A380 :) i have a couple of question regarding the FBW in normal law in flight mode especially for the roll axis. Indeed, the roll axis on my side is extremly slow, it feels like I have not much authority in the roll axis. You may be surprised but the A380 should handle in Flight mode just like the A380: A380 FCOM says that max stick deflection in the roll axis in flight mode is 15°/s just like the A320 so going from 0°of bank to 33° should take approx 2s Regarding the pitch, it has like the A320 2 modes : Pitch rate demands at low speed and g load demand at high speed ; max being 2.5G/-1G in clean config ( like the…

I read in the comparison BATCH 2 and BATCH 7, that there is automatic Speed Brakes deployment during descend? When ist it activated? I was 1-2.000 ft above descend profile but they did not deploy and the aircraft did not descend faster.

Jump ahead doesn’t update the time if you’re not flying I’m real time. In short, when live time is enabled - works as intended When flying at a custom time - doesn’t update time, keeps what it was before jump. This is an issue as issue for those that fly with the time set to what it would be when the flight actually leaves! Another suggestion that would be awesome if the time updated on the chrono and ET on the nds too! Other than that no complaints, amazing aircraft :)

There are issues with time formatting at various points in the aircraft:

First off, love having a 380 in the sim. I really do like it I think I may have found a couple of gremlins during my first flight. 1. The 3rd line The Cockpit Preparation Electronic Checklist says check fuel quantity in KG, but there is no option for LBS. I there an option somewhere to change this from KG to LBS? 2.After landing in Chicago, vacating the runway and while taxiing to the gate in windy and rainy weather, the wings started flapping up and down. The wings stopped flapping when I applied the brakes, but would start flapping again as soon as I started taxiing again. I've already set turbulence to low (can't turn it totally off). Am I missing something else or is …

see picture... plus wrong time format

The FMS apparently doesn't recognize the S/C to FL410 I entered, as it is calculating the T/D incorrectly and flickering constantly.

Perf CRZ page does not show distance to next S/C:

Left VSD vs. Right VSD

Hello First of all it seems to be a great peace of work you have done, congraulations for that. I have the issue, that when I switch from the cabin to outside and back, all lights in de pannels goes on. Just a using the Instrument Light test. Then I have to switch to the overhead panel and turn back a airflow switch?? The same issue can be happen, using a F-key, for example to use the Reverse.. Best regards

When you press the option to remove the keyboard overlay in the EFB for added realism on the OIT, the keyboard doesn’t get disconnected at all from the sim. It only works if you have the visible keyboard overlay option on.
