GSX/Simbrief/A380 Integration Problem A380

Featured Replies

I am experiencing a persistent GSX integration problem with the iniBuilds A380 in MSFS 2024.

GSX reports:

“SimBrief error: Can’t read aircraft type”

I have undertaken the following troubleshooting without success:

  1. Installed the official iniBuilds A380 GSX profile manually.

  2. Confirmed the inibuilds-a380 folder is installed under %AppData%\Virtuali\Airplanes.

  3. Removed and reinstalled the profile 3 times.

  4. Installed the recommended iniBuilds A380 aircraft type and profile within SimBrief.

  5. Restarted MSFS 2024 several times..

  6. Confirmed the GSX Remote Control Server is enabled.

  7. Confirmed the correct SimBrief User ID and Pilot ID are entered in both the A380 and GSX.

  8. Confirmed GSX is fully updated and connected.

  9. Restarted Couatl after the A380 was fully loaded at the gate.

  10. Checked and can confirm GSX is latest version.

None of these interventions has resolved the problem.

Given the specific wording of the error, I am concerned that GSX may not be correctly identifying the A380 as ICAO type A388, rather than this being a SimBrief authentication or profile issue?

I am also aware that other users are currently reporting GSX integration problems with the A380.

Could you please advise whether this is a known issue and whether there is a current workaround or update planned?

I can confirm that no other aircraft demonstrates this issue, including the IniBuilds A350 which I also own.

Hi,

I'm not entirely sure what's going on. Just tested on my end and everything is working as intended.

Could you verify that there is no other A380 placed inside the GSX folder?

Thanks!

Hi Kyle - yes I can confirm no other A380 in GSX folder. There are no other A380 folders or profiles present.
