Project Airbus – Talk

You may have forgotten to deploy the flaps as well?

Well like I said, the panel is supposed to be included with the A318 base pack. Make sure you downloaded the A318 base pack off avsim (file is ad318_base.zip), as other downloads may be incomplete or missing the panel altogether. EDIT: Just noticed it's no longer available on avsim due to the server...

The Aerodesigns 318 was made for use with Eric Marciano's old A320 panel gauges. The official base pack installers included them if I recall correctly, so I'm not sure why you weren't seeing anything in the vc.

But nice work on your merge, it looks good!

There are camera addons that used to simulate this. ActiveCamera was one for FS2004 way back when, don't know if it still exists today. There are probably others too.

Google yields many good images, some examples:

The CFM site has some info as well: http://www.cfm56.com/products/cfm56-5c

Keep it up!

EDIT: Demetris beat me to it. I'll leave my post here anyways since it goes more in depth. I'd just like to point out some things that haven't been mentioned yet. Please note I'm not calling you a liar or brushing you off. The FDE isn't perfect, that's already been established. I just want to clarif...

I've read Derek's flying tutorial for the A380. I wanted to ask why you list the range with max payload at 6,500 when YSSY-KLAX exceeds this number? Surely that flight is frequently full. According to Airbus' numbers, 8,200nm is the range with max pax. YSSY-KLAX is not 8,200nm, so with max pax, it'...

Why would he need 3ds max? Our A380 is in Gmax format.

Open the aircraft.cfg with notepad. Look for the [general] section, and make sure the following lines read like so:

Code: Select all

[general]
atc_type	= AIRBUS
atc_model	= A380

Nice video!

Nice work, thanks!

Nice work, keep it up!

The outboard gear has no contact points in the aircraft.cfg. If you only need approximate coordinates for effects, try these:

Code: Select all

Left inboard:   -3.00,   -8.70, -19.33
Right inboard:  -3.00,    8.70, -19.33
Left outboard:   8.00,  -20.30, -19.33
Right outboard:  8.00,   20.30, -19.33

Great pics, thanks!

Please read this topic before posting, we'll do our best to keep it updated with common questions. Q: When will the A380 VC, or anything else for that matter, be released? A: We do not give release dates, as they can seldom be met. At this moment we do not know when the VC will be ready. Q: I have a...

You raise a good point; we should probably have a pinned FAQ thread. Will try to get one up later. Regarding not uploading to other FS sites, there's no feasible way to upload our files to every existing flightsim site. I suppose we just expected our files to eventually make it onto other sites on t...

Welcome Gary!

FSX or FS9?

Nope, the compiled models can't be edited I'm afraid. Sorry.

Yeah it's caused by the wingflex. The flex cuts were made early on and aren't placed very well, causing alignment issues ever since I ramped up the flex amount. I did my best to compensate for them but it isn't perfect. This is also the cause of the bleedthrough in certain areas. With more work I'm ...

The alpha floor is probably coded into the panel gauges. I don't think it can be edited without the gauge source files.

[Off topic a little bit, the PA A380's fuel config is a little bit different from what I read from smartcockpit, what do you think?] Our fuel sections have the feed tanks merged into the main tanks for simplicity. You should be able to paste the Wilco fuel sections without causing too many problems.

Well I'm glad to hear it's solved then. Though it doesn't appear to change anything on my end, we'll include that mod in future updates.

Looks great, I love the other shots on your blog as well!

I just sent the update to AVSIM for approval, thanks Demetris.

Issues such as? The PSS panel should work just fine with our model.

Lufthansa has been uploaded to AVSIM, keep an eye out for it.

I'm not an FSX expert, but I think you need to disable the DirectX 10 preview mode.

The file's been uploaded to AVSIM. Keep an eye out for it.

The flight model is designed for FS9, need I remind you we don't support FSX. By all means, take a look at it if you have the time. If you're able to make the autopilot behave better then feel free to post what you find for other users to enjoy. We do not have an FDE designer on hand at the moment, ...

Not definitively, we're doing our best.

Door operation is specified in the readme.

I'm only going to post this once, hopefully this will help those finding it hard to control the A380.

So the engines on my Qantas A380 are partly transparent while I fly at night. Any idea what can fix this problem? I have to experience in painting or aircraft modeling so can someone please help? :cry: I've checked here and don't have that issue. Are you sure it isn't just the engine fan that's tra...

I know this is a highly anticipated livery, so I've been working on it religiously since this afternoon to get it finished. There are still a couple issues to be resolved, but if all goes well it should be released sometime tomorrow. I'd like to thank Sheldon Fernandes, Demetris Themistocleous, and ...

As it turns out, the wing bleed through is worse than I thought. I'm still undecided on whether it will be updated in the future.

Pretty sure this is an FSX-only bug, but will check later. Though I know FSX has issues with everything transparency related. The A320 series also had related issues (i.e. the antenna holes bug). Unfortunately the engine fan transparency is not alpha controlled, so I'm not sure that issue is fixable...

Quite right. Auto-trim (and other Fly-by-wire features) need to be coded in the panel's gauges. We haven't included a panel in our release, and therefore haven't modeled any fly-by-wire simulation.

Unfortunately, none of those issues are likely to be fixed soon. The wing bleed is pretty minor, and only visible from specific angles. Might get looked at if we ever put out an update, but I don't anticipate updating just for that. I never had the autopilot issue, and either way we don't have an FD...

NoseGear wrote:(although with me had a tendency to turn left, any ideas what could be causing it)

No idea, nobody's every reported that issue before. Are you sure you didn't have more fuel in one wing than the other, for example?

Unfortunately LH wasn't ready for release yet, a bunch of us are painting various parts of the aircraft to get it finished ASAP.

Looks great man!

Sheldon,

VS can be found using the ground speed and angle of the glideslope, the formula works for all types of aircraft.

Umm.. in the first and last pic, you can clearly see the exhaust cone. Do a little research and you'll be able to tell they are the EA variant.

But since you absolutely need to see the engine fans for some reason, how's this?

Great work!

Actually it doesn't contain landings. I've done a little math and I believe it. According to the Airbus site, 4218 A320-series airframes are in operation. Let's say each one of those aircraft does 4 takeoffs a day (rough number, most airlines do more, but then not every airframe flies every day so I...

you guys need to install it a certain way and if you do, its brilliant! im hearing of people getting 30-40fps on modest computers when its installed properly with full settings for everything. I don't have a modest computer. :P I'm below average at the very best, getting about 8-10 FPS. That's just...

sorry to bother

This video shows the animations a bit better I found.
