Fly By Wire A380 FIRST FLIGHT | The BEST FREEWARE EVER? | Real Airbus Pilot

Thanks for the great video 😊

This early revision A380X from FlybyWire is amazing as it is freeware. A big thank you to this team and their hard work and endeavours. Of course we must realise it is an early product in its developement phase and this will only get better over the next few months to come. Thank you so much Emanuel for showcasing this aircraft. Yup, the biggest problem for me was the optimisation even in the 4k version. And also depending on your own hardware, CPU choice and GPU, it is quite laggy in places, and big FPS drops. Of couse depending also on the airport scenery you are using. But it needs work in this area. The learning curve is greater and this adds to the enjoyment of this aircraft. We are so lucky in this time to be having such a simulator that adds to real immersion, something to stimulate the mind and excite the imagination. Of course as some of us may choose to head to MSFS 2024 when it launches it may be a long time before this product is compatible in that software. Enjoy it as this time. Certainly I hope it receives the love and care that the A32NX has had and enjoys the almost regular updates. Thank you.

That's weird that you are getting those massive stutters when viewing the aircraft from the outside. I have similar setup except I run AMD 7950X cpu. But I run the sim in 1440p, and with frame generation on and TAA. It runs flawlessly. Oh and I downloaded the 8k version of the aircraft.

Great vid by the way. I am a A32nx but hell its really well done . I was getting stutters in A32nx in development mode . In A380X at 4k really nice with NO stutters at all really good

What Tool does this callouts?! Can someone help me?!

For btv you did it correctly but you need to hit the double arrow button when you are a bit further out. That will then show destination airport map

I see you're also experiencing the "jitter bug" how do you solve it? I think has to do with frame gen.

Great Video, I can't wait to fly it later... Many thanks

How can I get the automatic voices like "autobrake off" or "approaching RW27"? Is this an addon?

And I thought my graphic card was getting bad, and I see that stutters and flickering happen to you as well. And I also have to fix it by alt+enter twice

Maybe aviation lingo is different, but in physics, you can't get rid of inertia, as it is an intrinsic property of mass. You can only get rid of kinetic energy, which I think is what you meant to say?

Thanks for video. Frankfurt is one of my favorite airport but cant seem to get the ai traffic to work correctly, which traffic software are you using?

Real A330 Driver could you please elaborate BTV (if it is integrated )in the next video? I've heard many real pilots praising it.
The new thrust display is a new technology Airbus introduced with the A380 called ACUTE Airbus Cockpit Universal Thrust Emulator. It is a fantastic new addition which works on all engines types. Some facts the A380 has the most powerful APU with 1.2 megawatt output and the biggest RAT.

The OANS/BTV worked while enroute when I used the 'PLAN' view on the ND, the destination Airport did show then. This is hinted in the notes for pilots where it says that in 'PLAN' any Airport can be displayed.

Nice plane.. but a lot of work to do left.... i made 3 trips and got LNAV problems on 2 of them.. on f-pln all ok, bujt on ND i had somthing messy in path.. and plane fly somewhere else but not on flight plan on that point

just to let you know, you can use sim brief perf calculator to get you takeoff data!!

Do you need a navigraph subscription to use the Map?

I love what these guys and galls are doing and I fly msfs2020 exclusively, but the best freeware to date is zibo.

What settings are people using to fly the beast? My specs are high and only get a stuttery. 20-30 fps maximum. Understanding it’s in alpha and looks outstanding for a free product. How does a330 driver get
such smooth gameplay?

First flight I selected direct to, and then the PFD/ND froze, the doors started opening and closing and the flightcontrols became unrresponsive... Gotta love an Alpha release :)

Very fun flight. I was hoping for a cabin tour. Looking forward to more A380!

Man, I have SO much respect for you airline pilots...!

The reason why you couldnt see the airport during your BTV setup is you forgot to change from arc to plan mode, the airport wont appear in arc mode. also once the airport vomrd up you nrrf to click on the numbers (runway identifiers) before you choose your exit. Also make sure its after the WET mark. took me a bit to get it too

ok, this is unwatchable. more commercial time than content time. You have lost a viewer.

Hi, if you want to re-centre your onboard airport map display, double left Click mouse the ND when you're in onboard airport map display mode, then press the last option, Re-centre to ACRT if I remember the full correct name 😂.

According to the FBW documentation, the TO Perf calculator can be done by the Simbrieft Performace Calculator. I've tried it, and it works super!

Didn't you find a problem in the engine reverse? The cockpit reverse throttle can't be moved, even you can see from outside that engine did reverse , but indeed affect no aircraft speed ?

Great video! That lagging effect that you get when you go into outside view is a result of your VRAM being maxed out, just a heads up!

I have a pretty high-end system, but I haven’t been able to fly this aircraft without serious stutters and lagging. What do your specs look like and did you do anything to optimize to fly this one specifically?

In outsdie view this aircraft needs like 22gigs of my ram at payware airport :D (whole sim runs over 22 gigs of ram).

Hello A330Driver, can say how I get these calls in the airplane `` 1500 meters remembering´´
Great video!!

Thanks for this video! Can't wait to give it a go. Small note, and only because I've heard you say it a number of times: "magnificent" is pronounced "magnifisent" The C is soft.

What a waste of money the 380 has been already stopped being built. Airports runways terminal etc had to be rebuilt failure

I cannot turn on the airport map, it said: not available

Question to you why is Simbrief only calculating 54000 Kg of Fuel for the A380 to Gran Canaria from Frankfurt isnt that much to low i flew with that amount and i landed at Gran Canaria suddenly my plane was completly dry and off power should i maybe put 70000 Kg instead?

off topic question :) did u ever Take off from vienna RWY29? If yes, why is there such a steep left turn right after take off? is there a proper reason? btw i like your videos so much!:)

Fun fact: In a stream 3 years ago with 2 A320 pilots and 3 guys from the FBW team about their A320 model they answered the question if and when they will provide an A380 model : "thursday". That was a running gag since then but they really did it :)

Amazing and outstanding job they did with that model.

Your productivity never seizes to amaze me, Emanuel. You are doing the FS Community a great service by uploading so many in depth videos. You have long surpassed my level of knowledge on flying Boeings and especially Airbuses, but I can always scroll back to one of your tutorials when I am in search of certain information that I don't understand at present.

By the way, there's a nice Easter egg hidden.. ;)

Hi what is your joystick setting in MFS 2020 ? Sensibility ? Thanks

It's an Airbus, how hard can it be. Lol yep 🤣 Saying that, I'm taking it all in. Slante, Eamon ❤️ 😉

Looks amazing! I just flew yesterday for real on Asiana A380 from Taipei to Seoul, sitting on the lower deck in the middle of the wing, you realise how massive that thing is

Thanks a lot. I made my own checklist from your video and I think I can fly this plane now !

what is that voice called the computer voice that saying approaching 25 c

Theres a fucking pride livery i aint gonna fly this bois

I love your videos, been watching them forever!

So does this mean I can’t play the a380 on Xbox 😨

Welcome to the first out of MANY flights with the magnificant Fly By Wire A380!
A quick note here on the video titel: "First Flight" really means it! This is a plane you really got to learn and get around the systems as nothing the likes has been out on the market just yet. The same of course applies for myself as I'm not A380 rated. So expect so rougher edges occasionally. If I type'd myself properly before doing the first vid you probably wouldn't see one for the next three months or so ;-)
