for Microsoft FS2X& FS2004
The Airbus A380 was designed as the largest passenger aircraft. With a two story passenger compartment, it can be outfitted to carry 550 passengers up to 8000 miles.
The A380 recently made its first appearance to the public in January and is scheduled to make its first test flight in Spring 2005.
We comissioned Tolga Piskin to create the upcoming Airbus A380 to fly using FSX and FS2004. Graphic artist Ed Knapp has carefully reproduced the colors for three versions: Airbus house colors, Lufthansa Airlines and launch customer Singapore Airlines.
If you want to get a feel for flying this huge and exciting aircraft you can Fly the Airbus A380.

In addition to the strikingly handsome outer aircraft, you’ll take notice of the interior including 3D virtual cockpit. The special instrumentation includes a simplified Flight Management Computer (FMC) similar to what is found in the real thing and complete easy-to-follow documentation to learn how to use it. The FMC works with the Flight Simulator's built-in Flight Planner and allows you to fly virtually hands-off except for take-off and landing.
Fly the Airbus A380 V2 also includes enhanced scenery of the Toulouse-Blagnac (France) Airport. The final assembly of the Airbus A380 is performed at the airbus factory located in Toulouse. The Toulouse airport is now replete with custom AI traffic.
