Bredok3D A380 Review | Microsoft Flight Simulator

Thank you for tuning in to our first impressions review of the Bredok3D A380 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Before diving into the video, it's important to note that this assessment is based on our experience on day one of release.
However, we strongly advise against purchasing this aircraft. Why? Well, Fly-by-wire is currently developing their own rendition of the A380, and it's expected to be offered to the community at no cost, unlike the £20.99 price tag attached to this particular add-on.
Despite our decision not to pursue a refund for this product following our review, we cannot in good conscience endorse it as a worthwhile addition to your simulator fleet.
If you need a "free" A380, you can find one here: flightsim.to/file/66705/fsx-p...

Edit: I’ve had some comments regarding the sound and it appears to be genuine, I was correct in my initial reaction. Additionally, some people have mentioned the Xbox use case. Fly-by-wire isn’t supported on the Xbox, so this product does suit for players on the Xbox who with the have the 380. I cannot figure out if the sound pack on this aircraft is from a default aircraft. Let me know if you can tell! Thanks for watching and please drop the video a like if you enjoyed. Apologies for some of the sound during the "live" walkthrough; I was able to lower the aircraft engine noise around halfway through which makes it a more enjoyable watch.

It's very accurate.

They are sampled from The Engine Alliance GP7000. It is a turbofan jet engine manufactured by Engine Alliance, a joint venture between General Electric and Pratt & Whitney. It is one of the powerplant options available for the Airbus A380, along with the Rolls-Royce Trent 900.

It’s more expensive than the FBW but you get two more reversers so that’s still a good deal.

[@TheFlightSimHub]

I think Bredok has potential. Thing is, to be a good developer in this space doesn’t necessarily mean make stellar aircraft. If they stuck this on for free or for a fiver I think the reaction may have been very different. Their 737 MAX wasn’t the best add-on ever but at the time was the only way to get a 737 in the sim, and is still the only 737 for Xbox. I think they were on the brink and had a chance of being generally respected in the community but blew it with charging £20 for this.

[@theaustralianconundrum]

My first flight was from YPAD to YSSY and at 2 hours it was spot on in every aspect. Do not forget that only .1% of MSFS 2020 owners have logged 1,000 logbook hours. 95%+ simply treat this as an arcade game. It does have an A380 cockpit in the general appearance. 5 stars from me.

[@TheFlightSimHub]

Very true. Additionally, Xbox players likely won’t see the offering from fly-by-wire. This video is aimed mostly at PC players. I say this because your average “arcade” hobbiest might be perfectly okay with the freeware Airbus A380 with the A320 cockpit. No need to splurge just to get a half correct cockpit, but as I said in the description, it’s up to the consumer at the end of the day. A “hard core” flight simmer isn’t going to be pleased with the Bredok3D cockpit and system replication. I wish Bedok3D had put this on for £5/10. Nice stop gap for now until the FBW release. From what I’d read the developers at Bredok are good people.

[@theaustralianconundrum]

@@TheFlightSimHub Well in Australia it cost me AU$37.45 and for me this is good value. Either way I don't want to make a mountain out of a mole hill over this aircraft. If it can perform to Airbus A388 manual from takeoff, climb cruise, descent, approach and landing it has my vote and my first 4 hours have been sublime. Try it's roll rate and you will "feel" 400 tonnes. An Inibuilds A320CEO V2 this isn't. The 320 feels like it's 70 tons. I have not bought any other product from BREDOK3D so I can't compare it. Cheers from Australia.

[@Cloudflying]

@@TheFlightSimHubyeah they should put it at 15-20 €

@@Cloudflying It's fine even it were US$50.00. I cannot fault the flight model nor exterior textures and sounds. The immersion factor is plenty good enough.

[@jesphillips2193]

​​@@TheFlightSimHub I 100% agree with you, some Devs need to stop being a bit greedy for money with a product that is a mash up of a default aircraft.

"Not everything has to be 'study' level" - is just a poor excuse for totally awful product. That external model alone doesn't really fit "payware" worthy - just like their 737MAX. It is coming from defensive show-off users that secretly brag to their friends that they can fly real A380 or 737MAX using Bredok3D or CaptainSim stuff. It is as cringey as those people who bought $10 oven that is about to burn their home down - the heating element glows super bright and started melting its outer casing. It is health and financial hazard, a waste of internet traffic bandwidth, hard disk space, and processing power (thus electricity). And yes, our Xbox user friends do deserve much much better than this. There is no defense for Bredok3D nor CaptainSim for releasing these kind of add-on levels as payware. They are okay-ish as freeware (no longer a financial hazard), but for Bredok3D - they clearly didn't bother at all, it doesn't even fit FS2004 decency standard, let alone 2020 - and they didn't even optimise it despite being low quality, low poly model. At least CaptainSim tries to get the external model as detailed as possible.
