Hi everyone - I have been busy working on finding and testing a better freeware model of the A380-800 than we have currently, and have now come across and tested a better model, made by Project Airbus- you can click on the link below to download it- File size is approx 84.1 MB, and is in .zip form:

http://bit.ly/1Q05wPI

This link has been approved by senior staff and senior staff have approved the use of this model by AFVA/DVA pilots.

It has been tested with FS9, it should work with FSX, but am not giving a guarantee it will work 100% using FSX, but please do test it in FSX and post in the cooler if it works or not.

There are some notes on what I have found on testing it, on occasion, you may have a problem when clicking on the ALT switch when in AP mode, if that happens, disconnect and reconnect the AP mode, please ensure you are not at low altitude before engaging the ALT switch.

Blue skies to everyone!

Cyriac- as explained in the notes, this does not come with a FMC as it is a freeware model, you are welcome to use something like VAS FMC if it is compatible- it was tested without a FMC.
