FBW A380 3 easy to follow Tips & Tricks to make it MORE REALISTIC | Real Airbus Pilot

[@StormTuber]

Hi Emanuel, I'm the creator of the OIT mod and just wanted to say a huge thankyou for making this video featuring my mod!

[@kenhanson5379]

hi do you know the path to put it in the a380? appreciate it

[@theywx]

​@@kenhanson5379 simple, like other addons, community folder

Hello, 4 days ago I installed the file for the second tablet OIT the first day it worked perfectly, but on the second and third day it stopped working. Is there a solution? Thanks.

[@theywx]

@@Jesus_Garcia1949 update it, remove the file for the community folder, and reinstall, probably it fixex

[@nothing-x8p6t]

hi. just wanted to ask. is there any way to remove the efb itself so i only see the oit?

[@hytryn]

Another hopefully useful trick, click on the hidden spot behind the co-pilot's seat to hide the cabin. This helps in a smoother experience for low-med computers. the click spot is at the top left hat label

[@rangerrick8220]

I have used this trick already and it improved my frame rate alot... and I run a 2070.

[@higor_alpha_romeo]

If you preselect .84 in the CRZ page before takeoff, the airplane will set .84 in the managed mode, so you can fly .84 without having to set it manually in the FCU.

[@captainrogerdodger144]

5:00 what i do ATM is to use my vertical speed often during takeoff. As soon as I leave the ground I program my VS on the FCU to +3000fpm up until 10000 ft then +2500fpm until 14000ft, +2000fpm until 24000, +1500fpm until 28000ft, and +1000fpm 28000ft onwards. This may be a lot of work, but it makes me fly the plane on my own more and much more fun and realistic to fly👨‍✈️

[@noway9880]

CLB is operative?? Why would you use v/s in this way it's not safe.

[@jasonthompson101]

A very useful video with exceptional tips!!

[@p1nky87simulation2]

Love this! Makes me want to send one now after work tonight 👌

[@8T8Keez]

Some of these, I need to watch 30 - 400 times. It's quite confusing. LOL! But - super super helpful! Thank you!

[@chrismckis6843]

For freeware it's hard to beat this plane. I think it performs much better than the FBW a320 and has a more realistic flight model than the a320. Also I find this plane to be very stable not causing any ctd issues at least for me. I honestly don't like spending so much time with simbrief preflight performance and all of that, but I do import the flight plans. I set my own climb and descent profiles manually which work fine for me. Great tips though thanks! I love flying the FBW a380 It does all I need it to do and better than some other paywares I have.

[@Izmael1310]

I recommend do this the old FSX way. So basically set your thrust, set your speed to 310/320, take the realistic cruise altitude and use the v/s to get there. If for example realistic A380 climb would take 20 minutes from 0 to 34 000 feet that means that on average it climbed 1700 fpm * 20 = FL340. If you want to have it more dynamic first 10 minutes climb at 2000 fpm and then the other 10 minutes at 1400fpm :) btw thank you for the recommendation of the website with flplans.

[@707liner8]

Really good info there, I'll be adopting those tips for sure!

[@nemesisNL1]

Thanks for the video, always really enjoy your "tutorials"

[@elmar001]

Why have you got tutorials in quotes - are you being sarcastic?

[@A330Driver]

This one is technically speaking not a tutorial I’d say. Thank you very much 👍

[@tom33rc79]

For simbrief fuel factor, after some calculation, I use -15% and it's just perfect for the moment. But I think there is a problem with fuel flow by the way. I don't have Ground miles fuel table sadly in the FCOM...

[@m_swizzy22]

I use the V/S mode to climb 🤣 at the takeoff I set it to 3,000fpm, and until I get to 10,000ft or so, I use 2.8-3.1k fpm… after that I kinda eyeball it, use Open Climb and use V/S and gradually reduce it from 2.5k to around 1k at altitude. Have to look at the speed a lot too but it works as well 😂

[@Ema99999]

Hello, talking about searching for reality, do you know the Flyprecisely project? They try to create ini files for the 737 family and 77W to respect the exact configuration of the plane as the real one is. Tnks for your job here in yt.

[@higor_alpha_romeo]

I know that the current version has an MTOW of 510tons, but I admit that I cheat here haha. I took the FBW profile on simbrief and increased the MTOW to 575tons. Also, I did 3 flights and on average my A380 is burning around 13% less fuel than the simbrief profile. If you want to fly weighting 575tons, you actually can, and it flies amazingly.

[@Lorranchallenger]

interesting

[@AJR-07]

Could you do more videos and flights on this plane? I want to learn as much as I can about it before I get MSFS2024 and try it for the first time

[@spottersim]

The ECON MN can actually be modified by selecting a PRESEL value on the CRZ PERF page prior to reaching the cruise phase. Not sure if this this is the way the real a/c works though

[@landingmission2203]

@A330 Driver did you change something to get better performance?

[@A330Driver]

No

[@Jesus_Garcia1949]

Hello, 4 days ago I installed the file for the second tablet that you mentioned in the video. The first day it worked perfectly, but on the second and third day it stopped working. Is there a solution? Thanks.

[@gattibandz2808]

i just set manual VS climb rate of 2000 to 2500ft to fix the climb rate issue

[@ArrRoh]

Is it possible to hide the EFB?

[@projetocomando]

Very good!

[@guillaume_69]

Not sure I get your point #2, which requires you to get out of the clb gate. Instead, wouldnt you achieve similar results by changing the FLEX temp so that it gives you a more realistic %?

[@A330Driver]

Flex temp only influences takeoff thrust, not climb thrust.

[@guillaume_69]

@A330Driver got it, thanks!

[@tomstravels520]

Either the characteristic speeds or the OPT FL is incorrect as I’m cruising in managed speed at the OPT FL and green dot is way the cruise speed. Also noticed on the takeoff perf page they are incorrect

[@kenhanson5379]

hi love all your videos they are great ..my question ...i put the oit in the community folder when i had the a380 just as i was about to takeoff (msfs2020) was running but it does not work ..did i install it in the right place thanks rgds ken

[@felipeturbayr]

Thanks Emi for these tipps! are you flying this route with sim rate 4x?

[@A330Driver]

As soon as it's enabled! Right now it can only do 2x.

[@rangerrick8220]

@@A330Driver Ok thanks!

[@gwalker3092]

Adding the efb mod to the OIT is just a copy of the inibuilds A350 using the OIS to see data, although it’s not released yet so you could claim it’s not a copy. 😂 It’s nice if you could get rid of the original efb. As you said there’s no derate option either for the climb I just force Vs 2000 it’s easier messing around throttles. For the cruise I set 0.84 in pre-select on PERF page and aircraft keeps this well with managed speed set. As you pointed out the opt cruise levels seem off but it’s hard prove with just looking at RL data. I don’t know if the RL levels are ATC constraints rather than true OPT levels ? Thx for tip on cruise speed in Simbrief didn’t know you could that 😅. How’s the 777 ebook going ?

[@A330Driver]

I'd say FBW was first for sure ;-) Like I said when we looked at the BAW flightplan, initially I'm sure the 310 was an ATC constraint. But lateron, 350, 370, 390 surely wasn't. You wouldn't have ATC constraints for the entire flight. The data "made sense", that's why we could trust it, especially when you look at a large pool of flights and it usually turns out around the same.

[@A330Driver]

I'm afriad I don't have news on the ebook just yet, I just have far, far, far too little time available these days. At least my new hardware should arrive soon so that those aweful CTDs are a thing of the past and I can start flying the 777 again. That should expedite the process.

[@musiqtee]

As to «dual» efbs… Flying a huge two (3, 1 napping…) crew airliner on your own, it’s not that «unthinkable» to nick the FO’s efb and use both? OK, it’s the silly Hollywood scenario where a single hero saves an airplane all solo - but with all this info to ingest, I’d nick that extra iPad too…😅

[@gwalker3092]

@@A330Driver totally agree but not being a real world pilot I don’t know how often on very long flights the optimum FL is granted ? Mach wise I’ve looked many flights and they are without doubt 0.84/0.85 as you pointed out.

@@A330Driver hope new cpu works out well and in time for 2024. I’m very interested on your take of the ini 330 after the demo they showed and they talked about a lot of 330 specific behaviours being added.

[@vedymin1]

Im wondering..would the engines be able to rev so much over the commanded climb target irl and if so, what could happen to the engines ? Would they melt x) ?

[@A330Driver]

They'd probably get damaged after a while indeed.

[@ClevaTreva]

1) If only we could get rid of the EFB! 2) Could we climb using V/S rather than use the physical throttle?

[@chungdamien]

One thing that’s driving me nuts I’ve not been able to get my terrain radar to work, but yours seems to work fine. Does it need Navigraph to work? 🤔 or am I stupid and missed something 😂

[@fatboyfat_uk]

Have you installed SimBridge on the FBW installer? You need that and then make sure it’s running before you load the plane in the sim. You should also check the SimBridge connection is set to Auto in the settings on the EFB in the plane.

[@chungdamien]

@@fatboyfat_uk huh didn't know that is required. I saw on the EFB it's disconnected but didn't know what it is needed for. Thanks, I'll go download that and see whether it works

[@jakobhermann6475]

Aircraft is kinda nice but rolling on taxi way its a mega challenge. I use side stick but also pedals. So, I have to fully push right pedal to hold the aircraft straight on the taxi way. Till the aircraft reacts for turning left or right its also a different story. So, there is zero fun at all for me to fly this aircraft. I even use suggestions from FBW website and I’ve been setup sensitivity - but it doesn’t help at all. Thanks God we have the great 777 from PMDG…🤷‍♂️

[@FromHelI666]

they have broken the battery knobs, there is no light indication anymore

[@augustomartins9516]

The plane is fantastic, no doubt, great work by FBW, and it's free, but honestly I would rather pay and have a complete plane that works properly. I took a flight, it was fun at least to see how it works, but now it's in the hangar waiting for better days.

You should be grateful that it's free. Not everyone should appeal to the type of capitalism you practice.

So... if airlines just ran the engines at higher values, they'd go faster and higher (but at the expense of more engine overhauls)

[@etsfan1863]

its not about the autothrust, the engines themselves are overpowered

[@jetBlue083]

True. But that would also mean increased fuel and repair costs, leading to higher costs for the business. Which would get passed on to us!

[@A330Driver]

They already run the engines at the maximum they can economically take. That's normally the certified thrust rating.

[@chrisgard4076]

where do you get the FLEX data from ?

[@tomstravels520]

Simbrief takeoff performance

[@A330Driver]

Exactly as Tom said.

[@jdshemp]

Feels like the brakes are dragging, takes too much power to taxi, and yes, I have checked my brake axis for dragging brake.

[@A330Driver]

mmh, I don't share that point of view. I don't see anything that would point to the brakes dragging. It has too much drag, but how do you get to the conclusion it's the brakes?

[@CAL1MBO]

Drag is negligible at taxis speeds. You mean rolling resistance

[@Highskiller]

They should update the Fuselage Textures, for me it looks like a toy made out of plastic

[@eyupbninuydurukgrafigi43]

It's a free aircraft. And the best one out there. If it's too obvious to them, they are probably working on them.

[@A330Driver]

How much more detailed do you want them to be? We've seen the huge performance impact the aircraft had, I'm happy it works fine now.

[@Waveif]

Maybe its a livery issue. Its definitely very detailed already as we can tell by the performance impact

[@Highskiller]

@@A330Driver It Is very good detailed and a great aircraft with the systems. But i dont know when i look f.e. at the PMDG 777 it looks just better, i can see Panel Lines and it feels more like standing in Front of the actual aircraft.
