Noticed the A380 seat belt and mobile signs still seem to be on even during the day. In real life, when turned off you can't see them at all. The alignment seems also a little off too, should be more centred. Photos attached. Both turned off: Real life with mobile off (can't see outline like above, sign more centred):

Noticed a bug with the A380 cabin lighting. Upon initial load, the lighting doesn't work. The tablet says the lighting is set to Deep Blue and at 100% brightness, but it remains dark. It is only when you click the colour again, does it begin to work. This is also the same when launching at a gate, it says Deep Blue but you need to cycle again. Looks like on first load the lighting or shaders are not working properly. Videos attached demonstrating the issue. https://drive.google.com/file/d/12b9eyytiUZCUuVdH8c16AqZs1MHPYOgT/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I_Myq7xkmxbEIaXz0h8AfYAv2dHzfvvb/view?usp=sharing

Just a suggestion, can the cabin lighting brightness be turned up a touch? Even at 100% many of the colours look quite dim. A comparison of the sim v real life pink lighting at 100%.

Looks to be fixed in v1.0.2. 👍

Two things I have noticed on the A380 step climbs. There appears to be a bug with the step climb MCDU page. The drop down menu is rendered behind the second waypoint text field, which I imagine is incorrect. You can't select the second waypoint on the list. Image of this attached below. My route through China (which uses metres not feet for altitude, and as such wanted FL361 not FL360) had FL340 --> FL361 --> FL360 (exiting Chinese airspace) --> FL380 --> FL400. The descent (which I know isn't modelled) has led to the other two subsequent step climbs of FL380 and FL400 being completely removed. Many flights across Asia have this on Simbrief flight plans. Would be great if this can be improved. Apart from these two minor issues, the system seems to hold up well. Thanks for all your help with this amazing aircraft!

Hi Kyle, attached a video of an example for further demonstration. Can be a bit annoying turning on shower taps or opening curtains from the flight deck when you want to unlock the cockpit door haha. Just a suggestion for the future maybe something like you have to be within a few steps of the curtain to actually click it, or something like that. Similar for A350 too. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ffYGuk6bV8fvTmyMRW0GtsVaqMq6OSOR/view?usp=sharing

Noticed a potential bug with the lavatory sink sounds. When you turn on the tap in one lavatory, the sound plays throughout the whole aircraft from every single lavatory, even when only one sink is running. The sounds seem to be duplicated all across the different lavatories, rather than from the single one. Sometimes you can turn one on my accident through a clickspot and the whole plane sounds like running water, which is what I experienced today. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YOO_GIpczQUWj9ey6nZWs5W2OckqTLv-/view?usp=sharing

Would be great if the clickspots in the A380 can have a radius around them so you have to be fairly close to click them. For example when I was touring the shower you can click the curtains through the door. Your cursor is just in the shower room but you can open/close the curtains when attempting to open the door etc. Similar with the a350 where you can sometimes click a curtain down the other end of the cabin not the one you intend. These have already been done in the walk around so I reckon this would be a nice touch.

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.

Firstly congratulations on such an amazing release! 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!

Yes same issue here

Many users have PCs that are more then capable of handling all this would be great to have the option to enable the deleted features.

Experiencing the same issue and I’m also on the beta and I do have MSFS on a custom directory. So maybe that’s a trend? But not sure overall. I can’t get an XML file either so maybe this issue is caused by the permissions set in the work folder?
