A380 - Initial thoughts and a couple of bugs

Featured Replies

Hello everyone!

First of all I want to congratulate the iniBuilds team for such an achievement. The A380 is fantastic…from system depth, visuals, modelling, flight dynamics…it is a true piece of art.

I didn’t manage to enjoy the full journey on its maiden flight as I have encountered a WASM crash right throughout my descent but decided to be a little more productive (instead of throwing my PC out of the window😂) and offer some, hopefully, constructive feedback.

  1. ND Direct-To WASM Crash: Attempting to execute a ⁠DIR-TO⁠ command using the cursor directly on the Navigation Display (ND) via the KCCU triggers a fatal WASM module exception, causing a complete system freeze and displaying an avionics BSOD.

  2. Annunciator Light Test Rendering Glitch: Zooming the camera view out in the cockpit causes all overhead annunciator and push-button lights to fully illuminate (as if the ANN LT switch were set to TEST), likely triggered during interior LOD model transitions. It also happens intermittently when switching from an external view.

  3. AOC / Datalink Weather Query Failure: SayIntentions AI fails to return METAR/TAF weather data via the ATC COMM menu or the OIS AOC interface—even though the data is actively received and displayed on the main EFB interface. The API keys are set up correctly in the EFB and I am 100% sure that SIAI is selected as the CPDLC provider.

  4. Spontaneous Autopilot Disconnection: Unprovoked AP1 disengagements occur during cruise (likely caused by external weather injection or sudden wind/temperature shifts exceeding flight envelope limits). I am not entirely sure this is the culprit but it’s worth a look.

  5. The aircraft just pauses mid-flight. Toggling the active pause ON and OFF seems to undo the sudden mid-air stop but I do not have a better idea about what it’s caused by.

I am aware this is the very first version and so far, I loved every single minute inside this aircraft. Looking forward to flying it every single day for an undetermined period of time😂

I'm also having problems with AP1. After takeoff, it disconnects and won't reconnect. AP2 is the only one that works.

Hi,

I haven't seen any other reports of this behaviour. Please ensure you do not have any keybinds set that could be causing issues.

Thanks!

Hi,

I just the same issue with AP1. Is there logs/info we can provide that could helpful?
Best regards.

I have no issue engaging it back. On my side, being a binding issue is highly unlikely because it happened during cruise, I didn't touch anything and I was briefly away from the PC, but when I returned, aircraft drifted off the NAV path. Also double checked my bindings and there aren’t any conflicts.

Are you using any 3rd party weather software?

Yes, I am using ASFS. I think that might be the culprit as I experienced the same AP disconnection in the Fenix just today

Yes, I believe that is the issue. The sudden/abrupt weather updates are causing the AP to disconnect.

I will test this further on my end.

Thanks!
