Hi iniBuilds team,

we fly the A380 Airliner (RR and EA) with the official SimBrief profiles linked in the FAQ ("iniBuilds (MSFS) - A380 Airliner RR" / "... EA"). Both profiles have:

• wgtunits: LBS

• oew 628,000 / mzfw 813,505 / mtow 1,267,658 / mlw 870,825 (all consistent with the real A380-800)

• paxwgt 175 / bagwgt 50

• maxcargo 10,300 lbs (= 4,672 kg)

SimBrief treats maxcargo as the combined limit for baggage + freight. In practice this means that with a full cabin of 484 passengers at 50 lbs each, the baggage alone is 24,200 lbs (about 10,980 kg). That is more than twice the hold limit in the profile.

What we see in every OFP generated with this profile (5 flights, 15–17 Sep 2026):

• baggage + cargo capped at exactly 4,672 kg

• only 206 bags planned for 484 passengers

• freight added: 0

The real A380's lower deck takes 38 LD3 containers, so this limit seems much too low. The other A380 profiles on SimBrief (FlyByWire, LatinVFR) have no cargo limit at all.

Questions:

1. Is 10,300 lbs intentional? For example, does it match a limit on the EFB Weight & Balance page, or a single hold only?

2. If not, could the profiles be updated to a realistic value?

Thanks!
