BTV, wet and dry line should be Magenta. Current build, wet line is white. "Adjust Desired Track Or heading" should show up on the FMS whenever doing Course Intercept on approach. Pull heading is the correct action, removes "adjust desired track or heading message". Course intercept for approach is currently bugged/incorrect. Needs to be revisited by your programmers. Minor stuff.

The A380 (without brake fans) is notorious for hot brakes during ground operations. Very common to get the hot brakes ECAM after engine shut down. For departure Limit brake applications as much as possible and plan your taxi. A 20kts-10kts technique is often used at heavy weights. The Ini A380 is however very conservative in terms of brake temps compared to the real aircraft. 300 degree C is the limit for takeoff. Pushing from the gate with temps in access of 150C will most likely result in Hot Brakes ECAM during taxi, unless a very short taxi. If the Hot Brakes ECAM should arise after takeoff thrust is set, it is acceptable to continue the takeoff, but leave the gear down until temps are around 260-270 degrees before raising the gear due to residual heat build up.

When flying through convective activity the green track is same color as the weather depiction. Result is loss of visual FMS track routing through the convective activity. Perhaps related to the display brightness setting.

Small minor detailed I just noticed. When CPDLC connection established and/or ADS-C connection indicated in The Mailbox, The FMS, ATC COM box is not indicating the connected ADS-C Station. Picture for correct illustration. The Mailbox connected ADS-C ground Station should be listed under ADS-C Connected Ground Stations on the FMS Com page. Minor detail.

The WHEEL …MORE page does not have Tyre Pressure indication. However, on the WHEEL MORE page tyre pressure is indicated. The Wheel MORE page can be selected on the ECAM Control Panel (ECP). I have attached a few pictures for illustration. Hope this helps.

Think the problem is the LIZ3 CPDLC/Acars addon. I had an older version installed.

Minor error I just found. The FMS POSITION drop down menu. GPS should be replaced by GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) and a subsequent page with a top GPS selection menu and a GNSS Data subsection below. Secondly, FMS Data, Waypoint. Should open up a box where you enter database waypoint. Ex, KJFK31L, enter KJFK31L into the page, will give the lat/long for quick return. Reason for needing this Lat/Long. We insert the landing LAT/LONG into the standby navigation display (SND). Will give a direct distance and direction to the runway for a quick return and situational awareness. Just a few minor details to consider.

It is my pleasure, Kyle. As a flight Simulator enthusiast for over 2 decades and an A380 pilot I truly enjoy assisting fellow simmers. I am fairly new to the Airbus family and the A380 so assisting the community is also helping me refreshing my knowledge and understanding of this incredible aircraft. Thank you and to your Inbuild colleagues for giving us an incredible rendition of the A380. You are by the way doing a fantastic job on the forum Kyle.

The Notify To ATC drop down box arrow in the real aircraft will give you a list of ATC stations to connect to. You scroll down the list and find the station you want to connect to, if you don't feel like typing it inn. Seems to be stored in the fmc database of some sort. Could not find any documentation about it though in the manuals. Normally we just type in the code, much faster than scrolling down the list looking for the correct 4 letter ICAO code. A nice realism touch if implemented in the sim :). Hope that helps.

HI, It is not normal practice to manually transfer fuel on the A380. Only when requested by an ECAM. If deciding to manually transfer fuel without an ECAM refer to the Fuel Man Balancing Procedure. However, Outer tank Man balancing is not possible. Actioning the Outer Tank Transfer push button switch (guarded switch for a reason) , should only be done if the automatic system fails, Fuel Temp Low ECAM (fuel must be transferred to another tank before it freezes) or no automatic alternate transfer is possible. The Transfer is then going to the respective feed tank. The transfer should however stop when turning off the Outer tank transfer push button switch. The transfer pump should turn off. Fuel is normally kept in the outer tanks as long as possible in flight. The lift produced by the wing in flight creates an upward bending moment. Maintaining fuel in the outer tanks as long as possible reduces this wing bending moment. This is why the outer tanks are not completely filled on the ground as the opposite occurs due to the engine weight. Only exception is if all other tanks are already full. This is called Load Alleviation Transfer. When the fuel in the outer tanks reach -35C cold fuel automatic transfer initiates. It transfer the cold fuel from the outer tanks to its respective feed tank without pilot intervention. I have not seen or tested any of this in the Ini A380, so no idea how the sim handles this. Hope this info clears things up a bit.

Thank you.

FMS, Data, Waypoint page. This page will give you the lat/long to entered waypoint/airport. For departure we normally pick departure airport for a quick return indication on the SND. We normally use that page to enter the lat/long for the SND (Standby Navigation Display) for situational awareness or oceanic ops. We normally enter all the oceanic waypoints as a backup on the SND. Just a minor point for refinement.

On the A380 standard practice is to select a BTV runway exit point after the WET line. Not standard practice to set an exit point after the DRY line. The objective of the BTV is to manage automatically the braking application to reach the selected runway exit -65 m at 10 kts. However, if the selected runway exit point is the runway end or an exit point in the last 300m of the runway, BTV targets 10 kts 300m from the runway end. If you select an exit point between the DRY and the WET line the BTV deceleration rate is 3 m/s square. After the WET line deceleration is 2 m/s square. Hope that clears it up a bit.

A workaround for that is to swap the FMS nav database. After a few seconds swap it back. That should “reset” the FMS. Not sure if it will work in the sim though. Did it the other day in the real aircraft and it worked just fine. Tested in the sim, and working as advertised.

I have Company MSG on EWD, ECAM displayed. Unable to clear it. I have read all messages in NSS AVNCS. 0 messages in the Inbox. They are all read. Is there a way to acknowledge the read messages? Second, during engine start 1 and 2. Done separately, the EGT goes to max. Over 1100 degrees. Cools down after engine start. Starting 3 and 4 together EGT is normal. It would be nice to have a loadsheet acceptance tab under reports in NSS Avionics. After loadsheet review and confirmation, practice is to send a loadsheet acceptance to the company. Minor detail. Lastly, ETP not found. Does not seem to be working on my end.

Fantastic aircraft. Very well done. A pleasure to fly and operate. Couple of things I have noted so far. The final Loadsheet seems to be populated without having to send the fuel figures via NSS AVNCS. The final Loadsheet is normally generated after the fuel figures have been sent. Auto GND XFR seems to be targeting 39.9. It should stop transferring when cg has reached 39.5 (39.5% is the optimal CG). When I send the fuel figures (NSS Avncs) with the new trim tank fuel, a revised Loadsheet with updated CG and trim tank fuel is not populated. Lastly the Loadsheet does not have trim tank fuel quantity listed. Minor stuff.

Come on guys. It is an A380, TAC, (Taxi Aid Camera) is a HUGE part of ground ops. Aerosoft A340 got that simulated pretty well. Taxi is one of the more challenging parts of operating the A380. The Taxi Aid Camera is a very vital part of operating the A380.

Yep, all working now after latest SimApp update.

Installed it from the IniManager. Deleted in the Marketplace. SimAPP pro in administrator mode had no effect either. It's strange because everything works just fine in the Fenix with the dual MCDU setup. I honestly have no idea how to get both MCDUs to work with the A340.

IniSteave, I cannot get it working with both WinWing MCDUs connected. Got it set up independently as you described in the SimApp Pro. I am on the latest firmware and SimApp version. With both connected none of my Winwing products work. When I disconnect FO MCDU, all good. I cannot understand how you guys got both working.

I can confirm that. With both MCDUs connected and correctly configured, none of my Winwing products work (I have pretty much all of them). As soon as I disconnect the FO MCDU, everything comes back to life. Worth mentioning that everything connected from Winwing works flawlessly on the Fenix A320.

I have a dual WinWing MCDU setup. Capt & Fo. With both MCDUs active none of my WinWing products will work. Disabling/unplugging one MCDU and ops normal. I contacted WinWing support about this. This is the answer I got from WinWing support in regard to dual MCDU support for the A340: Dear customer, currently due to issues of the Inibuild A340 plane model, we can only support MCDU of Captain side. Please wait for the plane model manufacturer to update the plane.

So are you guys getting the Wingwing FCU, 32 AGP, MCDU etc to work with the Ini A340? I can't get anything to light up. Using latest SimAppPro. Everything working with the Fenix but nothing from Winwing works on the latest Ini A340 on my end. Found the problem. I have a dual MCDU setup (Capt & FO). With a dual MCDU setup nothing will work. I assume dual MCDU is not supported. Disabling/unplugging one MCDU and ops normal. This is the answer i got from WinWing support in regard to dual MCDU support: Dear customer, currently due to issues of the Inibuild A340 plane model, we can only support MCDU of Captain side. Please wait for the plane model manufacturer to update the plane.

Strange thing recently happening. Latest MSFS 2024 beta and lates A340 build. Every time I try to load up a flight with EIS1 I get CTD. It loads up fine with EIS2. Cleared WASM and reinstalled the plane. Only CTD with this plane. All other planes working just fine. Strange indeed. Any suggestions?

I do love the feel and the look of the A343. I do appreciate the updates. Did a nice trip to EDDF yesterday and as soon as I approached position Kerax on the Kerax5A arrival, the immersion and enjoyment was swiftly over. The ND was painting a nice picture of a slalom track on the arrival. Still got some work to do with this airplane.
