Setting up the A380 wile on stand is a complicated process.

Preliminary loadsheet received, crew calculates fuel figures needed for the flight. The FQMS page on the OIT will show the crew trim tank fuel needed. Target is 39.5.

If not available, crew will use the loadsheet application (not simulated) to determine the trim tank fuel. If fuel still not balanced, crew will use the Auto Ground Transfer to reach optimum CG of 39.5 About 600 KG per minute for the transfer. Crew then send final fuel figures with the correct trim tank fuel quantity to load control. A final loadsheet is sent and a loadsheet confirmation will take place.

An accurate loadsheet is a vital part of the operation. For an accurate loadsheet confirmation to take place, trim tank fuel quantity is vital. Trim tank fuel quantity is currently NOT EVEN MENTIONED on the INI A380 Loadsheet.

Secondly, Final loadsheet should not be sent to the aircraft without fuel figures sent from the flight crew via the OIT. A380 is a very complicated aircraft in terms of loading.

I suggest you add "Realistic Mode" or "Fly Mode" to the simulation. Realistic being full OIT/FQMS and Loadsheet simulation. Fly Mode, being full basic gaming automation.

Just a minor point.

Simulating this would be an accurate representation of the A380.

Just a minor point.

As always, thanks for your suggestions. I will forward this to the team for further consideration.

Thank you!
