AFS Designs A380-800

 

review

The Airbus A380, nicknamed 'Superjumbo', is a double-deck wide-body jet airliner. Its the world's largest passenger jet (with the Antonov An-225 being the larges civil aircraft since it carries cargo and no passengers). The Airbus A380 development program was officially launched in June 1994 and the first flight took place from Toulouse, France on April 27, 2005 and led to a flight test program involving five Airbus A380s. The first A380 entered commercial service with Singapore Airlines on 25 October 2007 with a inaugural flight between Singapore and Sydney.

The A380 seats 555 passengers on two decks in a three class arrangement or up to 853 people in all economy class configurations. A380 has 49% more floor area and produces 50% less cabin noise than its direct competition, the Boeing 747-400. Initial production of the A380 was troubled by a few delays that made many airlines reconsider their A380 orders. The A380-800F freighter orders were cancelled and Airbus negotiated a revised delivery schedule and compensation with 13 customers of the passenger version.

AFS designs developed this average quality A380 add-on. The exterior is of average detail. The VC is quite simple and the VC textures are lousy. Sounds are also included but they sound wierd and it is not very nice. Flight dynamics are okay. The thrust reversers will deploy automatically during tight turns and only the inboard engines have thrust reversers. Liveries and textures are also of average quality. The FMC is quite detailed.

These are the included liveries:
- Industrie house,
- Lufthansa,
- Qantas,
- Emirates
- Airlines,
- Grundlack,
- Emirates,
- Air France,
- Virgin Atlantic,
- Korean Air,
- Malaysia,
- Quatar Air,
- Thai - Thailand,
- Singapore Airlines,
- QANTAS
