Hi iniBuilds team!

Loving the A380. This is a very polished product that you all should be very proud of! I'm really happy with the hand flying, she feels heavy and the flight dynamics feel really awesome.

I have noted several bugs over the last month of flying - some of which I'm not sure if it's just related to the systems of A380 that is different. This list is current as of V1.0.4 - I've just done a full test flight with it.

1) VSD

• During climb phase the selected altitude (eg. initial departure altitude) only becomes part of the VSD level of indication after the plane goes into ALT* mode near capture, rather than during climb phase itself

• During approach, the ground level where the runway is should not move - i.e. should be pinned to the bottom. At the moment the ground rises to the middle level of the VSD, and the altitude scale will go into -1000 to -2000 feet on the vertical scale on the left hand side. On the real plane I believe the aircraft symbol moves down the scale to meet the ground

2) Approach phase active / Decel point - appears to be very late during approach. Most of the times I will need to activate it manually on the APPR page, especially if there is a change in waypoint sequence/short cut using DIR TO

3) LANDING ELEVN on the CRUISE ECAM - this appears to have carried on from the A350... Should be rounded to the nearest 50ft, at the moment it is rounded up by 50ft... e.g. NZCH runway 20 elevation is 93ft on the chart, the ECAM currently shows 150ft, correct ECAM should show 100ft

4) HYD ELEC PUMP - should be showing on ECAM during opening/closing of cargo doors with associated HYDRAULIC page indications of electric pump being active

5) SPEED BRAKE EXT indication on ECAM - does this show on the A380? I'm not sure regarding real life on this

Thanks for taking a look at this.

Cheers,

Chen

Hi Chen,

Thanks for your report.

• Are you able to attach some photos of the VSD behaviour you're describing?

• Approach phase / decel point is a known issue that has arised with the release of SU7. Asobo is aware and we're hopeful a patch will be released today/early next week

• I will note the landing elevn for the team to review

• Will note the hyd elec pump for the team to review

• Spped brake ext, I believe this is correct for the A380, but will inquire with the team for further clarification.

Thanks again!

I'll separate the 2 issues with the VSD with separate posts. This one is related to VSD profile on climb only

Initial selected altitude is 5000 on MCP, but currently there is no level off indication on VSD during initial take-off/climb out.

When the plane first enters ALT* capture mode as it nears 5000, in this case passing through 3800, it briefly shows the correct indication - I believe this should be the way it shows it from the start of take off.

And then very quickly - this is what it shows -> MCP altitude is 5000, plane is climbing through 3900, the level off horizontal profile is showing at 3900feet, and this goes up with the plane until the actual level off at 5000.

Real video footage from this -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHui34_ODnc

This one is related to VSD profile on landing

Currently the ground rises up as the plane descends on approach and the aircraft symbol is pinned at the middle of the VSD (see the red arrows added in this shot), the vertical scale of VSD goes into -1000ft upwards to 2000-3000ft

The real one in sequence on this video -> https://youtu.be/qcXQKQukxkI?si=ivNivgynFUgnU0cD

Before capture of GLS/ILS

After capture the plane goes to the middle of VSD scale

The the yellow plane symbol moves down the vertical scale part of VSD and the ground remains at the bottom, instead of the ground rising up from below to meet the plane symbol at the middle.

Should also say - this applies to the A350 as well.

Thanks for all your work.

Cheers,

Chen

HYD pump is also a bug in the A350. The pump illuminates on the overhead, but the HYD ecam page does NOT show any pressure or the pump being on.
