its impossible to fly with it. Its FS2004 model, and it lags very much.... With your FMs i have 22-30FPS, with a380 7-10 fps...

I have just tried the A380 with the tom ruth's VC. So I don't know how work the PA VC and also the version of facked.

I will try his VC this evening.

I don't know the difference between a FS9 and a FSX .mdl file. But as I must re-write the xml code of the gauge, maybe there is a solution..... My FMS has many many scripts and the impact on the FPS is tiny.

Congratulations Facked, this VC is great !! :)

My only concern is when flying online on IVAO network, the need to be able to do a direct to any waypoint in the FPL.
I do not think it is possible with the FSX GPS (I did not succeed to do it) ....

And I am not expert enough to adapt the VAS FMS to your VC panel... :(

VAS won't work in FSX.
Replace the gauges with Francois' ones if you want more functionality than the default ones.

Please help! Where can I download those gauges?

How can I place them in?

I am not using Vas gauges. I was using the standard that came in the DL

You change the respective gauge coordinates in the panel.cfg, [VCockpitXX] section.
Here's the map with the coordinates, (0,0) being the top left corner.

Okay I will see. I still don't quite get it. My question was on the Autopilot. Why isn't it working? And for the Vas FMC does it work for FSX? How can you open cargo doors on the A380 model FSX?

I have tried your VC.

Great job !

But It is a FPS killer. I think that your work isn't the reason. When I will have time, I will see what I can do.

Indeed it is, because the model isn't FSX native. That could mean 5 to 25 FPS more.

No native A380 VC. It isn't good enough in comparison to other FSX cockpits.

Hello curi,

Do you think you can continue your mega merge for fsx with this model ?

Thank you for answer news about your project.

Good day all,

VASfmc does work well in FSX as long as you have version 2.1...or the latest one anyways.

Only problem I have is the "clickspots" from the MCDU and FCU.

Please refer to pictures below.

Any advice, tips or corrections would be appreciated :-) Surely I'm not the only one who would love to get this bird airborne.

edit..Brake Accumulator gauge, digital trim, and VDA have all been added since picture taken. Still no joy on clickspots.

Have you tried fullscreen mode? I had some vasfmc clickspot issues in windowed mode from time to time, although usually just a very small offset of a couple of pixels. So ALT+Enter may help.

Still no joy, even on full screen mode.

Perhaps Facked can help us with this topic, perhaps point us in the right direction on the steps needed to take to correct this problem, as in the early stages of the project, he had these overlapping textures.

Here's the full screen picture.

Can you tell me, how to get the terrain and brake views under the PFD/NDP. Or is it just because youswitched from Window to Fullscreen mode?!?!

I won't..can't release without permission from the original owner.

I have not tested the 2D panel with this, nor do I really intend to.

I need some help in how to install the VC cause this is my first time installing a VC as I am new to FSX. It is a nightmare for me to use the default 747 cockpit for flying the PA A380 so please send me a zip file with everything there as I don't get how to install it as I can't a file named A321.CAB also confuse me that how about the files inside the download zip file from you

Same question... i really enjoy looking your pictures each time i visit this page, but could never download your work from avsim.net because the file isn't there anymore. Will it possible to download your updated VC for FSX at some point in future?

After long searching, here we go: :D

a fully working tweaked PA A380 with the FS9 A380 VC modified by 'Facked' to work in FSX without any problems (at least for me, with vasFMC installed), works like a charm.
