Issues with CalibrationIf you experience any issues with the Throttle Calibration process, you may force-reset the calibration on the EFB via either of the following methods: PC & Xbox: Press the 'RESET CALIBRATION' button, PC Only: Delete the 'ThrottleData.ini' file to start fresh on next launch of the simulator. This file will be found in the work folder of the aircraft, and the path will vary based on where you purchased the simulator: Steam: %APPDATA%\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\WASM\MSFS2024\inibuilds-aircraft-a380\work MS Store: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\WASM\MSFS2024\inibuilds-aircraft-a380\work Issues with ReversersIf you experience any issues with the operation of reversers on hardware with reverse on axis (E.g. TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition), please ensure the following: Reverse on Axis: Ensure you have selected YES on the EFB Throttle Calibration page. Calibration: Ensure you have completed the calibration at least once. This will ensure the creation of a 'ThrottleData.ini' file. ThrottleData.ini : The file can be found at the path stated above. Open with a text editor (e.g. Notepad) and check that it says the following - [throttle] reverse_on_axis = true If it says false, change it to true as above and save the file. Reversers should then work after a sim restart.

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 sessions and aircraft variants.

The Audio settings page on the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) allows you to fine-tune individual sound category volumes, enable specific sounds, control noise-cancelling and select your preferred cabin announcement language.

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 cockpit Once data is sent to print, it is automatically formatted using a template corresponding to the type of printout requested (e.g., F-PLN INIT, METAR, T.O Data) and rendered onto the printed page texture. Note: Page sizes may vary Paper length is dynamic and scales based on the content being printed. For example, a METAR printout will use significantly less paper than a full F-PLN printout. (Click to enlarge image) How to Print1. Configure Auto-Print Options (Optional)Open the EFB, navigate to Settings > EFB, and enable any desired auto-print options (e.g., Auto Print Initial FPL, Auto Print TakeOff Data, Auto Print Winds) if you want certain items to print automatically without manual input. (Click to enlarge image) 2. Print Flight Plan, Take-Off or Wind DataNavigate to the Printer page on the FMS (DATA > PRINTER) using the MFD and cursor controls. Select the on-screen PRINT prompt where available to send that data to the printer. The options will remain gray until the relevant data is uplinked into the FMS first. (Click to enlarge image) 3. Print Loadsheet, METAR or Mailbox MessagesGo to the Mailbox or MFD ATC Communications (ATC COM) page on the FMS, select the specific METAR or message you wish to print, and press the on-screen PRINT button. OR 4. Collect Your PrintoutOnce printing completes, click on the simulated printout located on the pedestal to retrieve it. It will then be placed on the cockpit tray table for reference. Note: Only 1 printout can be displayed at a time. The printed page remains on the tray table until manually removed or replaced by a new printout. The printed page will show/hide alongside the tray table when closed. Since paper length varies by content, larger printouts (e.g., full F-PLN with multiple waypoints) will take slightly longer to complete than smaller ones (e.g., METAR). Use the printer as a quick physical reference during busy phases of flight, reducing the need to repeatedly navigate FMS/OIS pages. Note: The printout is strictly simulated inside the virtual cockpit only. The virtual printout cannot be sent to a real-world physical desktop printer or exported directly as a PDF at this time.

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 / Disabling RAASRAAS is optional and can be configured via the EFB: EFB > Settings > RAAS Each alert can be individually enabled or disabled using its respective toggle switch. Setting Description Visual Alert Toggles the visual display of all RAAS alerts on the PFD and ND. Audio Alerts - On Taxiway Toggles the aural alert when the aircraft is on a taxiway. Audio Alerts - On Runway Toggles the aural alert when the aircraft is on a runway. Audio Alerts - Approaching Runway Toggles the aural alert when approaching a runway.

The iniBuilds A380 airliner features integrated snow and icing effects on the wings, fuselage, and horizontal stabilizer. These effects can develop dynamically over time depending on the type and rate of precipitation, or can be manually adjusted for visual impact through the EFB, functioning as a standalone feature. (Click to enlarge image) Dynamic Snow Accumulation & RemovalThe snow layer forms over the aircraft when you spawn in at the gate in a cold and dark state and the weather conditions are met. This layer will dissolve over time as the aircraft is powered up from its cold and dark state leaving only the ice layer underneath. Furthermore, if you use FSDreamTeam’s GSX add-on, the snow and icing can be eliminated as part of the de-icing procedure on the ground when required. (Click to enlarge image) EFB Snow Accumulation SliderYou can also manually control the various levels of Snow & Ice Accumulation on the EFB Ground Ops page. (Click to enlarge image)

The inibuilds A380 Airliner features configurable failure scheduling, allowing faults to occur immediately or randomly during flight. The failure-management system is organized around the aircraft's ATA chapter structure, making failures easier to locate and configure while aligning their organisation more closely with real-world aircraft documentation and procedures. (Click here to enlarge image) Note: This guide only provides an overview of the Failures and Situations menu, options and how to configure it. It is not a guide or Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) on how to appropriately manage or respond to any individual failure or situation. Always refer to the appropriate FCOM/QRH procedures for guidance on handling specific system failures or abnormal situations. Such documentation cannot be provided with the product for legal reasons. HighlightsA number of individual scenarios have also been added or significantly expanded: Engine Fuel Leaks - Can develop under a variety of operating conditions, requiring the crew to identify the problem, follow the appropriate procedures, and manage the aircraft through the relevant ECAM-driven workflow. Cabin Pressurisation Leaks -May develop gradually rather than presenting immediately. A small leak can initially be difficult to notice unless indications are closely monitored, eventually requiring intervention, descent, or diversion. Display Unit Failures - Simulate the loss of primary flight information on individual displays. Crews must then reconfigure displays using available alternate procedures, creating a more involved abnormal situation to manage. (Click here to enlarge image) Accessing Failures and Situations MenuThe Failures and Situations menu is accessed via the EFB home page and is organised as follows: (Click here to enlarge image) Menu Overview - SituationsSituations/System Menu Located on the left side, this panel lists Situations (general scenarios) alongside individual ATA chapters (e.g., ATA-21 Air Conditioning, ATA-24 Electrical Power, ATA-28 Fuel, ATA-29 Hydraulic Power, etc.), allowing failures to be browsed and configured by system. Situations Options Once a category is selected, the available failures/situations are displayed here. Each item can be individually set to: Disabled - The failure/situation will not occur. Instant - Triggers the failure/situation immediately. Dynamic - Introduces a random chance of the failure/situation occurring at some point during the flight. Certain situations (e.g., GPS Jamming) may include additional unique options, such as Real World, which uses real-world positional data to simulate GPS jamming based on actual reported occurrences. ECAM Failures Reset Button Clears and resets any currently active failures triggered through the ECAM. Global System Failure Selection Located in the top-right corner, this allows you to apply a setting across all failures/situations simultaneously: Disabled - Disables any previously active/enabled failures across all systems. Dynamic - Applies a random chance of failure across all systems for the remainder of the flight. (Click here to enlarge image) Menu Overview - FailuresWhen selecting an individual ATA chapter from the left-hand menu (e.g., ATA-24 – Electrical Power), the corresponding system failure buttons for that chapter are displayed. ATA Chapter Header Displays the currently selected system category (e.g., ATA-24 – Electrical Power). System Failure Buttons Each button represents an individual failure available within that ATA chapter (e.g., GEN 1 FAULT, BAT 1 FAULT, DC 1 BUS FAULT). Clicking a button reveals its available failure options. System Failure Options Each individual failure can be set to: Disabled - If previously enabled, disables the active failure. Instant - Enables the failure immediately. Dynamic - Introduces a random chance of the failure occurring at some point during the remainder of the flight.

The iniBuilds A380 airliner features upto 4x Time Compression which can be enabled via the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB). This feature increases the simulation rate by upto 4x to allow you to conduct your flights faster, however it may come with a performance penalty depending on your hardware. EFB Time Compression SettingsThe Time Compression controls are in the EFB Options menu which is accessed via the Menu icon (☰) button at the top right corner of the EFB. Here you can choose between various options as follows OFF - disables time compression instantly 2x - enables max 2x time compression 4x - enables max 4x time compression The time compression is automatically disabled or downgraded in the following conditions Autopilot is disengaged Aircraft is above 80N (automatically downgraded to MAX 2X) Sim Pause at Top of Descent is triggered (Click to enlarge image) Current Simulation Rate IndicatorThe current simulation rate is shown on at the top of the EFB display when time compression is active. or It is also shown on at the top of the PFD. or Pitch/Roll Oscillations during Time CompressionAs the time compression feature increases the simulation rate, this also increases the CPU/GPU resource usage in tandem. Results will vary depending on your hardware and sim settings, however in some situations you may observe oscillations in the Pitch/Roll axis due to the performance degradation. If you are experiencing this regularly, please consider the following Use a lower time compression rate (e.g. 2X) Set a lower display refresh rate under EFB Simulation Settings (e.g. 20 or 30 FPS). Lower sim settings that affect CPU usage such as Object and Terrain LOD, Glass Cockpit Refresh Rate, Off-Screen Terrain Pre-caching or Ground/Air/Sea Traffic density. Lower sim settings that affect GPU usage such as Raytraced Shadows, Volumetric Clouds, Texture Resolution. Set Turbulence to "LOW" under the sim Assistances settings Temporarily disable any addons during time compression that may affect flight physics (e.g. RealTurb, FSRealistic etc.)

The iniBuilds A380 Airliner features the option to automatically pause your simulator at a user customizable distance prior to your Top of Descent (TOD) pseudo waypoint. This is useful for when you intend to leave you simulator unsupervised but do not wish to miss out the fun of descending into your destination. (Click to enlarge image) EFB Pause at TOD OptionYou can enable the option to automatically Pause at TOD from the EFB Simulation Settings page. Here you can also set the custom distance (in NM) for when before your TOD waypoint you want this pause to engage. (Click to enlarge image) EFB Resuming Flight after Pause at TOD Once the Pause at TOD engages, you will see a SIM PAUSED message in red at the top of your PFD.

Jump Ahead on the iniBuilds A380 airliner allows you to skip long cruise sectors, quickly conclude your long-haul flights, or jump straight into specific flight phases to practice descent and approach procedures. (Click to enlarge image) Why Jump Ahead?Perfect for concluding long-haul flights when you're short on time but still want an accurate end-of-flight state. Great for practicing approach and landing procedures without flying the entire cruise phase. Use Jump Ahead paired with Time Acceleration (2x/4x) for even faster transitions between key flight phases. Prerequisites (Do This First!)To ensure a smooth transition and proper aircraft system behaviour during a jump, you must prepare your flight plan beforehand: Setup FMS Data: Complete the INIT page on your FMS. Set Weights & Fuel: Fill in the FUEL & LOAD pages with the appropriate flight data. Configure the aircraft: Takeoff and configure the aircraft for Climb or Cruise. ⚠️Note: Feature is designed for use while airborne. While the EFB will allow you to trigger a Jump Ahead without completing the FMS/Fuel setup from pre-flight state, use it at your own risk. Doing so may result in unexpected system behaviour, FMS discrepancies, and incorrect calculations post-jump. This use case is allowed but not supported as a result. (Click to enlarge image) How to Use "Jump Ahead"Once your aircraft is fully set up for the flight, follow these steps: Open the EFB Quick Access Menu: Tap the Menu icon (☰) in the top-right corner of the EFB screen. Locate the Jump Ahead Section: Scroll to the Jump Ahead panel, situated between Time Acceleration and Panel States. Select Your Target Waypoint: Click the Waypoint drop-down selector. A list of fixes along your active flight plan will populate (e.g., DB570, DB560, KLNPI, OBROG, GABKO, RADEB). Choose Your Target Fix: Tap the desired waypoint from the list to select it. Execute the Jump: Click the now-active JUMP AHEAD button beneath the drop-down selector. Confirm the Jump: Click the CONTINUE button to confirm the jump to the selected waypoint shown at the top. (Click to enlarge image) What Happens When You Jump?When the jump is executed, the A380 WASM automatically handles the transition by updating key flight parameters: Position: The aircraft is immediately placed at the selected waypoint along your route. Simulator Time: The in-sim time automatically updates to match the FMS-calculated ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) for that waypoint. Fuel Load: Aircraft fuel quantity updates dynamically to match the FMS-calculated EFOB (Estimated Fuel On Board) at that point in the flight. Note: EFIS Control Panel settings are reset on jump. Your Navigation Display (ND) settings - including Display Modes, Range, and Overlays - will reset to match the Ready for Takeoff panel state. Manually re-adjust your ND Range and re-select your preferred EFIS overlays appropriate for the current phase of flight.

The iniBuilds A380 features two distinct onboard computer systems used for flight operations management: the OIT (Onboard Information Terminal) for FLT OPS functions, and the NSS AVNCS (Network Server System Avionics) for company communications and ground operations. This guide covers login, navigation, and operation of both systems. The use of these systems is entirely optional and not a pre-requisite to flight initialization. However the functions simulated add additional resources (e.g. Charts) and depth to the flight deck operational environment and flows. (Click to enlarge image) OIT ControlsOIT BRT Knob: Found on both the Captain and First Officer sides, this knob adjusts the brightness of the OIT display on its respective side. OIT SIDE Switch: Located on both the Captain and First Officer sides, this switch toggles the OIT display between the NSS AVNCS and FLT OPS systems on its respective side. OIS PWR Switch: Located on both the Captain and First Officer sides, this switch turns the portable laptop powering the OIT systems On/Off on its respective side. (Click to enlarge image) (Click to enlarge image) OIT: Onboard Information Terminal (FLT OPS)The OIT handles flight operations tasks such as flight plan status, performance calculations, charts, and AOC messaging. INITIALIZATIONThe LOGIN page is the first page that appears when the OIT is started. Select PILOT and enter your flight details as required on the FLT OPS page. You can press SYNCHRO AVIONICS to grab the information from your FMS. Note: SYNCHRO AVIONICS requires the FMS to have a flight plan loaded. Ensure your flight plan is inserted into the FMS to allow synchronization between the OIT and the aircraft systems. (Click to enlarge image) FLT OPS MENUThe FLT OPS MENU is the home page for all flight operations applications. From here, you can access all of the sub-applications described below. You can access this via the MENU dropdown on the top left corner. The dropdown also provides shortcuts to the other sub-applications described below. (Click to enlarge image) FLT OPS STSThe FLT OPS STS page displays the Aircraft Reg, Flight Number and Departure/Arrival airfields. There is also additional information such as aircraft version available here. (Click to enlarge image) FLT FOLDERThe FLT FOLDER page displays your SimBrief Operational Flight Plan (OFP). This includes your route, fuel planning, weights, and other dispatch information imported directly from SimBrief. You can use the tree on the left to navigate between sections or hide it using HIDE TREE button. (Click to enlarge image) FLT OPS CLEAR / TURNAROUNDUse this button to initiate turnaround mode, which resets operational flight data in preparation for a new flight. This is typically used between flights when reusing the aircraft for a new sector. (Click to enlarge image) CHARTSThe Charts page provides access to Enroute Maps and Terminal Charts. The Terminal Charts support both Navigraph and Lido charts, depending on your configuration in the EFB 3rd Party Settings. For more information see the How to - Switch between Navigraph or LIDO Charts guide. (Click to enlarge image) T.O PERF and LDG PERFUse the T.O PERF page to calculate takeoff performance data, including V-speeds, flex temperature, and other takeoff-related parameters based on your loaded flight plan and conditions. Use the LDG PERF page to calculate landing performance data, including landing distances based on current conditions and aircraft configuration. For more information see the How to - Take-off / Landing Performance Calculations via OIT guide. (Click to enlarge image) AOC (Airline Operational Control)The AOC page uses the ACARS (Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System) messaging system to transmit and receive AOC messages between the aircraft and company dispatch. Note: OIT AOC and NSS INI COM Inbox/Outbox/Sent are the same system — messages sent or received in one will appear in the other, as they share the same ACARS messaging function. Network Server System Avionics (NSS AVNCS)The NSS AVNCS system handles company communications, preflight data initialization, and ground fuel operations. NSS - INITIALIZATIONThe LOGIN page is the first page that appears when the NSS AVNCS is started. Select PILOT and choose the INI COM or REFUEL sub-applications. NSS - INI COMINI COM handles company communication and preflight data initialization. This section is purely optional to relay additional Crew and Fuel Uplift figures back to the company, or view received Loadsheets and other post-flight reports. You can use the tree on the left hand side to navigate between the various pages: Inbox / Outbox / SentThese pages use the ACARS messaging system to transmit and receive AOC messages. This is the same system as OIT AOC in that the messages are shared between the OIT AOC page and the NSS INI COM Inbox/Outbox/Sent pages. Pre-Flight - INIT DATA and FUEL FIGURESThe Preflight section contains two pages: INIT DATA: Used for flight data preflight initialization (e.g., flight number, origin/destination, Crew IDs etc.) FUEL FIGURES: Used for flight fuel initialization (e.g., block fuel, trip fuel). This is to inform the company of your planned fuel figures if they will vary from the OFP. Note: The FROM/TO and FLT ID fields will be automatically prepopulated once a "CPNY F-PLN REQUEST" (Company Request) has been sent and a reply received on the FMS INIT page. This request relies on Simbrief integration. For more information see: How to - Import flightplan & winds from SimBrief? NSS - REFUELThe Refuel sub applications allows you to manage ground fuel operations directly from the cockpit. This includes: AUTO REFUEL: Automatically refuels the aircraft to the target fuel figure. AUTOMATIC GROUND TRANSFER: Manages fuel transfer between tanks during ground operations. This page allows you to feed Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW), Zero Fuel Weight Center of Gravity (ZFWCG) and Block Fuel (BLOCK) directly into the Fuel Quantity Management System (FQMS). With this data, the FQMS can perform active CG targeting during the fuelling process to maintain GWCG within limits to avoid tipping. Failure to do so means the FQMS will fall back to a "single vector method," filling the tanks using a hardcoded, safe default sequence rather than an optimized distribution. This safe default is passive, meaning it prevents exceedance but does not prevent you from reaching the limit. Whenever this limit is reached, fuelling will be stopped automatically to prevent tipping. The process is as follows Fill the ZFW with your planned ZFW using the on-screen keyboard Enter ZFWCG with your current ZFWCG using the on-screen keyboard Enter your planned BLOCK fuel using the on-screen keyboard Press SEND TO FQMS to begin automatic refuelling immediately. Summary of Key DependenciesRequirement Why It's Needed Flight plan loaded in FMS Required for Synchro Avionics (FMS sync) to function via FLT OPS STS Cpny Req sent/received Prepopulates INIT DATA and Fuel Figures on INI COM > Preflight pages OIT AOC = NSS INI COM Same ACARS messaging system - no need to check both separately
