Instaiiation problem A380

Sat, 29 Mar 2025 20:04:24 +0000

Dear Peter. I bought the A380 and unpacked it accorging to the instructions,but when i launch it, a female voice tells me to cope the license into the ACF file directory. The license won"t cope! All screens are frozen, and the FMC does not appear on the display! What should i do!? Best regards, Alex.

Has this project been shelved?

Fri, 10 Oct 2025 21:23:00 +0000

I'm wanting to buy this aircraft, but the lack of any updates in 9 months is causing me to hesitate.

Is work continuing for this aircraft, or is it considered "finished and bug free" so no further effort is deemed necessary?

If work is ongoing, do update cycles typically take 9 months? It's a very long time to wait.

Cheers

Issues noted

Fri, 12 Jul 2024 08:51:33 +0000

My observations thus far:

Aircraft is flying quite smoothly. It took a bit of messing about to activate the autopilot functions such as arming nav and managed speed.

It is very difficult to complete functions on the FMS1 Active/Perf pages. Instead of trying tio find the rotation positions perhaps like FF A350 has is clickable in the fields and using keyboard entries.

What happens when a waypoint is reached, the flightplan loses the path and rhe aircraft requires to turn to re-intercept the track. See image. This happens at all waypoints. Will be interesting to see when it does the approach sequence.

I cannot turn the Seatbelt signs on. Switch doesn't function.

Many of the interior light switches don't function. It would be great to turn the lights down in the cockpit.

I cannot pre-set the ILS frequency as it automatically reverts to the nearest VOR. Is there a way the auto setting can be deactivated?

More to come.

A380 X Plane 12 Performance Manual

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 08:21:03 +0000

X plane flight tests were done for Peter Aircrafts A380 to determine the take-off, climb, cruise, descent, landing, holding and airport fuel consumption.

The flight test results were collected for my own convenience in the attached X Plane Performance Manual.

Maybe you find it useful as well.

This is my small return favor for all the wonderful freeware that has been provided by the X plane community over the years and that I’ve been enjoying so much.

Is there a flight bag for this aircraft and how do I input flight data into the fmc

Missing Dataref for Heading_Up/Down

Fri, 19 Jul 2024 14:35:27 +0000

[ENGLISH TEXT BELOW]

Gruß in die Runde,

ich nutzen an meinem iMac 2020 zur Flugzeugsteuerung des A380 von Petersaircraft ein Behringer XTouch Mini. Um dieses zu programmieren, verwende ich das Dataref-Tool zum Auslesen der Funktionsdaten im Flugzeug und das X-KeyPad zur Eingabe der Funktionen in das XTouch Mini.

Im Gegensatz zu anderen Flugzeugen (wie z.B. Toliss A320) finde ich im Dataref-Tool jedoch keine Information beim Drehen des HDG-Knopfes. Zum Test habe ich im X-KeyPad "sim/autopilot/heading_up" bzw. "sim/autopilot/heading_down" eingegeben.

Interessanterweise kann ich nun den HDG-Knopf im Cockpit drehen (ist im Cockpit deutlich zu erkennen!), jedoch ändert sich die Anzeige im Heading-Feld nicht und daher ändert das Flugzeug auch nicht seine Flugrichtung.

Hat hier jemand eine Lösung für dieses Problem?
Wir lautet die akurate Dataref-Information beim A380?
Gibt es vielleicht eine Liste ALLER Datarefs?

Ich freue mich auf Eure Tipps und bedanke mich für Eure Unterstützung.

Herzliche Grüße
Walter

Greetings to all,

I use a Behringer XTouch Mini on my iMac 2020 to control the A380 from Petersaircraft. To program this, I use the Dataref tool to read out the function data in the aircraft and the X-KeyPad to enter the functions into the XTouch Mini.

In contrast to other airplanes (e.g. Toliss A320), however, I cannot find any information in the Dataref tool when turning the HDG knob. To test this, I entered "sim/autopilot/heading_up" or "sim/autopilot/heading_down" in the X-KeyPad.

Interestingly, I can now turn the HDG knob in the cockpit (clearly visible in the cockpit!), but the display in the heading field does not change and therefore the aircraft does not change its direction of flight.

Does anyone here have a solution to this problem?
What is the accurate dataref information for the A380?
Is there perhaps a list of ALL datarefs available?

I look forward to your tips and thank you for your support.

Best regards
Walter

Parking Brake issue with joystick

My joystick is turning to camera views when releasing parking brakes. I can't use it to fly the plane. I have a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. Help please.

Laminar Airbus MCDU for this aircraft will be very useful

Sun, 20 Apr 2025 23:18:37 +0000

The MCDU (FMC) that uses this aircraft is the default Laminar Boeing-ish FMC. It should be much more useful if in any update this could use the Laminar Airbus-ish as in Laminar A330.

A380 Cold and dark

Thu, 27 Mar 2025 10:00:10 +0000

Yesterday I bought the A380 PH X-Plane 12 and it still arrives with the battery on and the screens on, even though the parameter is not set in X-Plane.
I downloaded the agent again to avoid a download bug, but it's still the same thing.
The batteries and Grand Power are on, which is not normal.

Have you ever encountered this problem and found a solution?

Thank you for your feedback.

wing a380

Mon, 03 Mar 2025 01:04:34 +0000

I'm trying to set up custom views on Peter Hager A 380 and there are no wings when I want to set the view in front of the wings from the 3D cockpit, I can only see the engines. I don't understand, this is on xplane 12 and other people who make videos on youtube showing how to set up custom views with the same aircraft don't have this problem.i can see the wings on every exterior views but not from 3d cockpit .

What is the problem here

vref speeds keep resetting

Thu, 03 Oct 2024 03:00:01 +0000

i have noticed you have to turn the engines off in order to set the v ref speeds on the flight omputer but once i turn the engines back on the vref speeds reset to defualt again they dont stick.

am i doing something wrong i put the flight plan in from littlenavmap into the fms and set that up for clm crz decent speeds, then i set the vref speds and the a380 flight computer for take ofclm and crz speeds and decent. but as soon as i start the engines the vref speeds reset so the plane flys too slow for the payload and fuel weight untill it allows me to go 250nts up to 10000 feet. untill it gets to roughly 1500 feet i am stuck at under 180nts

Useful Update

Thanks for the recent update.

The fuel planner is particularly useful.

Can you not alter the V1 VR and V2 speeds?

Sun, 06 Oct 2024 08:39:25 +0000

I have tried altering the V! VR and V2 speeds but every tie i start the engines they reset to default but default is way too slow its v1 is 110 V1, VR is 156nts, and V2 is 166nts but when i take off at full weight thats way too slow and the aircraft nearly ends up turning too far when using autopilot the take off speed or VR speed for full weight should be about 185 and V2 should be above 205 but every time i set it then start the engines it resets itself. why is this as there is no point in been able to customize the the V1,VR and V2 speeds if its just going to cancel it when your start the engines and reset it to default 110 V1 , 156 VR and 166 V2. if i change my wieght to hlf load it goes up from 110 V1, VR 162 and V2 175. what gives, it ups the speed for less weight and reduces speed when loading more weight ??? its backwards.

having paid for al three of the a380s since xplane V9 and the VR speeds working in the xplane V10 and v11 version why is it not working now ?

Greetings @Pituca,

Any updates in the works and will the A380 have a passenger cabin?

Thanks in advance.

License txt not available

Thu, 12 Sep 2024 20:04:16 +0000

when following install instructions, after I move the unzipped file to my AC folder,there is no license text file. all that is there is just text.I have downloaded the AC several times..

This is a terrible way to install an aircraft I feel that I have thrown my money away. NOT HAPPY

Documentation not found

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 00:01:54 +0000

I have just purchased and installed the product. I see references to the documentation in the forum but I cannot find where it is stored and it is not in the installed folders.

Can anyone point me to it?

Rudder Pedal Animation Reversed

Tue, 15 Oct 2024 20:19:36 +0000

Hi Peter. Just got your latest version of the A380 (with the three variants) and the first thing that leapt out at me when I loaded it was the animation of the rudder pedals in the cockpit which appears to be reversed. The rudder itself moves correctly, though.

A380 Wings do not bend/flex during flight

Wed, 28 Aug 2024 14:41:31 +0000

I notice that the wings do not bend or flex during none of the flight phases. On the ground, they seem OK but during the flight, even when stressing the plane, they are completely rigid. Even when touching down on a rough landing.

Is there any corrective upgrade coming our way ?

Many thanks !

Distance to Destination

Wed, 11 Sep 2024 03:40:53 +0000

Greetings,

There is quite a variance in distance to destination information on the FMC. See image.

Just wondering where the lower distance was read from.
