Hello everyone,

unfortunately I'm quite underwhelmed with the visual quality of the A380. It looks shiny from far away, but a closer look reveals a lot of flaws, sloppy work and lack of quality control.

Here's a list of what I've encountered so far:

1. Slats clip heavily into the engine pylons.

2. Engine pylons are not flush with the wing

3. Spoiler actuatory clip into flaps when extended during Flaps 0

   

4. There's a gap between the two MCP panels on both the Captain's and FO's side

   

6. Main gear bay doors are heavily bugged in their animation logic, remaining partly open in flight

   

7. On the both RR and EA engines, the blades in the rear of what I believe is the N2 stage are constantly moving very slowly. If they are intended to be static, why would they move? If they are intended to be animated, they don't move relative to their engine parameters.

8. Strobes and beacon are not in sync. Both do a free run and overlap with different timings, which is very atypical for Airbus aircraft and not something I've ever seen on an A380.

I understand this is a very complex aircraft and things can be missed, but there's definitely a lack of QA when obvious issues with slats and gear doors are missed.

While based on your track record I don't expect a lot to be fixed, can at least the obvious items be taken care of before you head over to your next project please?

Thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for your detailed report. I will get this logged for the team, hopefully for the next update.

Thanks again!

Yeah, I also noticed the strobes and beacon being in sync when its not like that irl clearly. And wow, that modeling is a little shocking lol.

For me, I found this particular light leak between the panel and the glareshield. this is happening anytime whenever we are facing the sun around 12:00 to 14:30LT

See the red box and red circle for the condition.

SafeFlight!

Thanks, logged with the team!

Guys, this is not acceptable for a product of 82 Euros

happend after a jump ahead

Hi,

This has been logged by the team for fix ASAP.

Thanks!

What I also figured:

Sometimes at the gate, the plane suddenly begins to bounce (extreme wingflex also). It bounces so hard out of nowhere, that it actually relocated itself away from the gate...
This also leads to significant FPS drops, especially after a flight at the arrival gate (but I don't know if those two things are dependent on each other

I have not seen or heard of anyone else having this issue. If you're able to grab a screenshot or short video demonstrating this, I will pass it along to the team for review.

Thanks!

I have also encountered this issue, extreme non-sensical wing flexing particularly during pushback, engine start and taxiing. FPS drops also occurred during this time. Another issue is when changing from cockpit view to external view, the tail if the aircraft is missing for a few seconds then loads. Switching from inside to outside view also dramatically lowers FPS to the point that I can only taxi using cockpit view as changing to the external view would cause freezes and stutters.

Hi,

The tail missing is by design when performance mode is enabled, as it is removing LOD's.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

another few:

1. Hinges of both AC hose doors clipping into fuselage

   

2. Bulk cargo door piston not properly animated. Piston clipping through cylinder and not connected to door

   

3. Bulk cargo door locking bold floating and entire fuselage edge not flush with the interior

   

4. Rear cargo door entire fuselage edge not flush with the interior

   

Props to Kyle at this point, you're doing a great job! ☺️

Cheers!

Hey, found some more panel gaps. If these pictures arent adequate let me know, its on both sides of the pilots at their knee level.

Hi Ini Team,

I've come across a few strange things, the labels on the lights on the right wing are reversed, and the parts around the lights on the left wing have a different dark texture without markings, which differs from the right wing
