Press the IMPORT SIMBRIEF button on the EFB Ground Operations - Weight & Balance page. Wait for the PLANNED fields to update with your Simbrief OFP values. ⚠️ Enter your planned ZFW and ZFWCG into the FMS FUEL & LOAD Page. ⚠️ Press LOAD WITH GSX button and select your desired service: - REQ BOARDING: Will request GSX Passenger and Crew Boarding Service - REQ FUELING: Will request GSX Refuelling Service - REQ WATER: Will request GSX Water Service - REQ ALL: Will request 3 of the above and any additional services enabled under SERVICE AUTOMATION on GSX Settings page. Your LOADED weight values will update progressive as the respective GSX Service is executed. (Click to enlarge image) Note: GSX Service Automation & Weight Discrepancies Depending on your Service Automation settings on the GSX Options page, this will trigger Boarding and other relevant services. In case GSX fails to sequence its services properly, please manually request the service via GSX Remote Menu on the EFB GSX Options page. In case you notice any discrepancies between your PLANNED vs LOADED weight values after GSX services are completed, please ensure your PLANNED values are correct and then press LOAD AIRCRAFT and select BOTH INSTANT button to ensure the correct weights are set immediately. These discrepancies can sometimes arise due to the way GSX COUATL interacts with the sim WASM. ⚠️Note: Always enter your ZFW and ZFWCG before fuelling to ensure correct CG loading. ⚠️ 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. A GWCG above 40.5% may cause the aircraft to tip backwards. Whenever this limit is reached, fuelling will be stopped automatically to prevent tipping. Entering your ZFW and ZFWCG on the FMS ensures the Fuel Quantity Management System (FQMS) can perform active CG targeting during the fuelling process to maintain GWCG within those limits. Operation - Manual Service RequestYou may also request individual services manually via the GSX Remote Menu on the EFB GSX Options page, however note this may not update the aircraft Fuel & Payload values correctly in some instances. You may need to manually load the aircraft after GSX boarding/refuelling is completed in such instances. For more information on manual loading, please see How to - Fuel, Payload & Water Management FAQ.

Fuel, Payload & Water Management (EFB)Before you fly, you must set your Passenger and Cargo Loads (PAYLOAD), Fuel Load (FUEL) and Potable Water load (WATER) via the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) - Ground Operations app on the Weight & Balance page. You can set these values manually or import them through SimBrief for Progressive (Real Time/Fast) or Instant loading onto the aircraft. Both methods are explained below. For loading with GSX, please refer to the 'How to - GSX Integration - Setup & Operation' page instead. (Click to enlarge image) (Click to enlarge image) Overview - Side PanelDedicated buttons and text fields on the side panel function as follows: RESEND LOADSHEET: Resends the final loadsheet to the OIT AOC and FMS ATC pages. PASSENGER: Set your Planned passenger quantity (Max 484) and see currently Loaded quantity. CARGO: Set your Planned Cargo weight (Max 51,401 KG) and see currently Loaded weight. FUEL: Set your Planned Fuel weight (Max 253,983 KG) and see currently Loaded weight. WATER: Set your Planned Potable Water weight (Max 1,698 KG) and see currently Loaded weight. (Click to enlarge image) ENTER ZFW: Set your Planned payload as a Zero Fuel Weight (Max 369,000 KG) directly. This will automatically assign a Passenger and Cargo load to reach Planned ZFW. (Click to enlarge image) WATER REFILL: Load your Planned Potable Water weight in Real Time or Instantly via the pop-up. (Click to enlarge image) IMPORT SIMBRIEF: Autofills all the Planned fields on the Payload, Fuel and Water sections with appropriate values from your Simbrief OFP.

Note: The buttons will grey out when active or not available. ⚠️Note: Always enter your ZFW and ZFWCG before fuelling to ensure correct CG loading. ⚠️ A GWCG above 40.5% may cause the aircraft to tip backwards. Entering your ZFW and ZFWCG on the FMS ensures the Fuel Quantity Management System (FQMS) can perform active CG targeting during the fuelling process to maintain GWCG within those limits. 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. Note: Changing ZFW or FUEL while airborne may affect VNAV and fuel calculations. You should only change these values while on the ground or whenever it is safe to do so.

The Keyboard and Cursor Control Unit (KCCU) is part of the Control and Display System. They are directly connected to all the display units for normal operations and for reconfiguration purposes. There are two identical Keyboard and Cursor Control Units (KCCUs) on the pedestal: ‐ One KCCU for the Captain (CAPT) side FMS/ND ‐ One KCCU for the First Officer (F/O) side FMS/ND You can use the KCCUs to: ‐ Display the various FMS pages on the MFD ‐ Enter and modify data on the MFD FMS pages ‐ Perform some flight plan revisions on the ND. - Interact with the MAILBOX (Click to enlarge image) The important KCCU controls for the MFD are: (A) The ESC key Cancels the current field edition, or The field returns to the last valid value. Closes a pop-up window or a menu. (B) The CLR INFO key Clears the message that is currently displayed in the FMS, ATC COM, or SURV message area. (C) The Direction UP/DOWN ARROW keys.

Throttle Calibration Page (EFB)Before you fly, you must calibrate your throttles via the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) - Throttle Calibration page. (Click to enlarge image) Throttle Calibration ProcessTypically the throttle calibration is done in the following order Ensure that Throttle Axis or Throttle Axis 1 to 4 are assigned in the MSFS Control settings. 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 detent position shown on the diagram on the right. Repeat Steps 4 to 7 for each desired detent. Reversers on Axis OptionVerify whether your hardware has a reverse thrust on an axis or not then choose the appropriate option. 'REVERSERS ON AXIS' is set to OFF: The bottom most position of your hardware axis (0%) will be assignable to the IDLE detent position. You may have to bind 'HOLD' / 'TOGGLE REVERSE THRUST' sim control binding to an additional button / input on your hardware to use reverse thrust. This option is recommended for majority of consumer flight simulation hardware (including Xbox Controllers). 'REVERSERS ON AXIS' is set to ON: The bottom most position of your hardware axis (0%) will be assignable to the MAX REV detent position for thrust reverser operation. You can additionally define separate IDLE and IDLE REV detent positions. This option is recommended for hardware such as the WinCtrl or TCA Airbus Throttle Quadrants. (Click to enlarge image) Note: The A380 only has reversers on the inboard engines (ENG 2 and 3). This is to reduce risk of Foreign Object Debris (FOD) ingestion as the outboard engines (ENG 1 and 4) are positioned much further out on the wing, closer to the runway edge Input Axis Count OptionVerify whether your hardware has 1, 2 or 4 independent hardware axis available for throttle control, then choose the appropriate option. This changes how the calibration values are copied across ENG1 to ENG4. Input Deadzone OptionYou can configure the Input Deadzone % either: Globally: Apply the same deadzone to all detents, or Independently: Set a unique deadzone for each detent. This is controlled via the USE GLOBAL DEADZONE toggle. The current deadzone boundaries are displayed on the axis diagram (right side) as colored boxes above and below your current AXIS % value. What it means: The detent activates whenever the ENG1 to ENG4 % values fall within the defined box. Larger deadzone % = larger colored box = Detent engages across a wider range of hardware movement. Smaller deadzone % = smaller colored box = Detent requires more precise positioning 'USE GLOBAL DEADAONE' is set to ON: Applies the same deadzone to all detents. Adjust by moving the GLOBAL DEADZONE % slider. You will see the boundary boxes change visually for all detents. 'USE GLOBAL DEADAONE' is set to OFF: Sets a unique deadzone to each detent. Adjust by choosing a detent under SELECT DETENT DEADZONE and then moving the XXXX DEADZONE % slider (where XXXX is your chosen detent). You will see the boundary boxes change visually for the chosen detent. Applying a Deadzone %Use the slider to choose the desired 'DEADZONE %' value (Default is 2.5%). Move your hardware throttle axis to where you want to define a chosen detent. Click the SET (DETENT) POSITION button to apply the set value to your detent. Example - Applying a 10% Deadzone to FLEX/MCT detent (Click to enlarge image) Example Throttle Calibration ProcessExample #1 - Defining a CLB detent with Reverser On Axis = NO and independent Deadzone % Set REVERSERS ON AXIS to OFF Move your hardware axis physically to where you want to define the CLB detent. Set USE GLOBAL DEADZONE toggle to OFF Select the CLB detent from SELECT DETENT DEADZONE Set your desired 'CLB DEADZONE %' using the slider. Press the 'SET CLB POSITION' button on the EFB. Verify on the diagram on the right a CLIMB > appears showing the newly defined CLB detent position, with the relevant % above. (Click to enlarge image) Example #2 - Defining a Max Reverser detent with Reverser On Axis = YES and Global Deadzone % Set REVERSERS ON AXIS to ON Move your hardware axis physically to where you want to define the MAX REV detent. Set USE GLOBAL DEADZONE toggle to ON Set your desired 'GLOBAL DEADZONE %' using the slider. Press the 'SET MAX REV POSITION' button on the EFB. Verify on the diagram on the right a MAX-R > appears showing the newly defined MAX REV detent position, with the relevant % above. (Click to enlarge image)

Before your first flight, you must set your preferred navigation database (Navdata) via the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) third-party settings page. (Click to enlarge image) Navdata OptionsOption Source Updates Notes Sim Default Microsoft (built-in) Automatic May conflict with scenery/3rd-party packages to cause - Missing or incomplete SIDs / STARs / Approaches - Outdated or misaligned runway data Navigraph External (subscription) Manual (via EFB 3rd Party Settings Page) Independent Changing Navdata SourceYou can swap between 'SIM DEFAULT' and 'NAVIGRAPH' navdata by simply clicking on its respective option from the dropdown. This can ONLY be done on the ground without the engines running. Note: Changing navdata source will completely wipe the FMS data. You should only do this prior to completing your FMS preparation as a result. Note: You should restart your flight after changing navdata sources or updating navdata Navdata is loaded into memory when you spawn into a scenario. Exiting to main menu and reloading into the scenario after changing sources (or updating navdata) avoids multiple/outdated databases flooding memory and causing session instability. Navigraph NavdataThere is a default cycle included (2303 R1). Users with an active Navigraph subscription can update to the latest navdata version by linking their account through the EFB. CONNECT TO NAVIGRAPHI (Click to enlarge image) Complete the authentication process by Scanning the shown QR Code, OR Pressing the OPEN BROWSER button to open your default web browser After you have completed the authentication steps the EFB will update to show the additional 'LOGOUT OF NAVIGRAPH' and 'CHECK AIRAC' options.

You will see an 'Your Navigraph navigation data is out of date' error if the installed cycle is older than the latest available online. (Click to enlarge image) Click the 'UPDATE NAVDATA' button. The button will change into a progress bar once download commences. Once completed, you will see a 'Navigraph Navdata Updated' notification at the top of the screen and the cycle number will update to the latest. (Click to enlarge image) Note: This should ONLY be done on the ground without the engines running. This process requires an active internet connection and may take a few minutes whilst the data is downloaded from the servers. This will also completely wipe the FMS data. RESET NAVIGRAPHAfter an A380 Airliner product update it is recommended to reset your credentials and refresh your Navigraph token to avoid issues with Charts, Enroute Map or FMS Navdata functions. It is also sometimes necessary as a troubleshooting step. Simply click the 'LOGOUT OF NAVIGRAPH' button to restart the process. (Click to enlarge image) Note: It is recommended to switch navdata to SIM DEFAULT if you have logged out. You should conduct the UPDATE NAVDATA process again after re-connecting your Navigraph account.

The Brake To Vacate (BTV) function optimizes the autobrake deceleration on landing in order to reach the selected runway exit point/ manually entered landing distance. The system takes into account the selected runway condition/braking action in its calculations. Once armed, the system works autonomously to delay braking in order to reduce brake wear, optimize the runway occupancy time (ROT) and improve passenger comfort. SETTING UP BTVIn order for BTV to function, it needs information such as your target stopping distance. This information can be provided by Runway and Runway Exit Selection on the On-board Airport Navigation System (OANS) on the ND. Note: This feature requires an active Navigraph Unlimited subscription. A valid airport map must be loaded on the OANS, which can only be done after successfully connecting your Navigraph account on the EFB 3rd Party Settings page. For more information, see the below CONNECT TO NAVIGRAPH section of the OANS FAQ post. Step 1: Choose Landing Runway on FMSPress the F-PLN shortcut key to go to the FMS F-PLN page At the bottom left corner, select your DEST airport and select the Landing RWY - you can also select your APPR and STAR on this page, however the BTV system only requires the runway at minimum to function Choose TMPY F-PLN and then INSERT TMPY to confirm the selection.

The reversion occurs during the go-around, when the aircraft climbs above 600 ft. The computation is based on the minimum between the radio altitude, and the aircraft height above the runway threshold. The autobrake disengages if any one of the conditions is met: The aircraft ground speed reaches the BTV disconnection speed (approx. 10 kt), OR The flight crew uses the brake pedals, OR The flight crew presses the A/THR instinctive disconnect pushbutton, OR The ground spoilers retract or disarm. When autobrake disengages the the following happens: An AUTO BRK OFF aural alert sounds The MASTER CAUT lights comes on The AUTO BRK OFF memo appears on the PFD and WD.

The iniBuilds A380 Airliner for FS2024 comes with both Rolls-Royce Trent 900 and Engine Alliance GP7200 engine variants that each have their own external geometry, sound profile, start and shutdown behaviour, spool dynamics, thrust response and relevant cockpit indications and system behaviour. Additionally, both engine variants can be paired with either a 4-class (Emirates-style) or 3-class (generic) passenger cabin. You can choose your preferred configuration to use with any compatible livery of your choice via the Aircraft Selection Menu. Changing Engine or Cabin Variants Open the Aircraft Selection Menu Find from the list or Search for the 'A380' Choose the 'A380-800' or 'A350-1000' aircraft Select 'Configure your aircraft' at the bottom left corner of your screen via your mouse or by pressing the shown keybind Choose the 'Variant' tab at the top Select 'XX Basic', 'XX Cabin' variant, where XX is the desired engine variant (EA or RR). Basic is the 3-class (generic) type. Cabin is the 4-class (Emirates-style) type. Switch to the 'Livery' tab at the top Choose your desired livery from the list Select 'Save and Back' at the bottom left corner of your screen via your mouse or by pressing the shown keybind Now you can return to the Free Flight menu and select Start Flight to use the selected Engine and Cabin variant of the iniBuilds A380 Airliner.

Close the simulator if it is running. Navigate to your your FS24 WASM Folder: Delete all the contents of this folder. This folder and its contents will be re-generated next time you load into a flight with the aircraft.

To steer the A220 effectively, first ensure NOSE STEER is turned ON using the button directly under the gear lever. Use your rudder pedals for gentle corrections and straight taxiing, and switch to the tiller-only inputs for sharp turns. When rudder pedals and steering tiller are moved simultaneously, the max deflection is limited to the 9° left / right only. For tiller-only inputs, press the PEDAL DISCONNECT button on the tiller to boost your turning gain for maximum steering angle. The steering tiller commands the nosewheel up to 80° left / right.

Use the link below to see an index of all simulator variables (L-Vars and H-Events) and input events that the A220 reads and writes, organized by system. These can be used to read and modify the aircraft state's using external applications.

The Synaptic A220 Navigation Display (ND) supports a highly detailed terrain map overlay that accurately simulates the various rendering behaviours of the real unit. This relies on data injection from a separate map-server app running alongside the sim. App InstallationFollow the instructions at https://docs.synapticsim.com/pilots/map-server to install the map server. Enabling Terrain Overlay on NDVia Dropdown Select the OVLY dropdown on the ND Tick the TERRAIN checkbox Via TERR Button Ensure MAP is displayed on atleast one INBD Display.

@willwest43 If you have one, that also shows your control inputs simultaneously on screen would be ideal. Also mention the hardware you're using for control. You could use something like the input viewer from your toolbar to show inputs in real time. Enable the "Simple" layout with numbers as well for reference. Thanks!

Thanks will pass it on to the team for further evaluation.

Yes your submitted reports are under investigation, and any changes are subject to data validation. Changes to engine parameters or cruise pitch angles has effects across all phases of flight. Just to manage expectations don't expect a quick turnaround on this. Things you mentioned falling back on your legacy FSX knowledge are not directly applicable to how things work in MSFS24. (e.g. Table 1506 etc.) Thanks for your patience meanwhile!

Thanks will pass it on to the team.
