A380X: Full Speed Ahead - FlyByWire Simulations

FlyByWire Simulations was created with the goal of elevating the default A320 experience in Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) 2020. Over the past four years, we’ve grown into a community of over 170 dedicated contributors for our first project: the A32NX. Our open-source project has allowed our team to develop essential knowledge in programming, sound design and aircraft modelling.

We have also set our sights on something bigger - the A380X. Announced four years ago, this project has evolved alongside our continuous updates to the A32NX, bringing our advanced systems, refined sounds, and an intricately detailed interior and exterior model to the simulator.

This NOTAM aims to set clear expectations for our end-users and contributors regarding what to expect from the A380X. We wish to be as transparent as possible to ensure that everyone is fully informed on this release’s capabilities, limitations, and opportunities.

To be crystal clear: the upcoming A380X “developer preview” release - will be in an open alpha stage. While some features will be operational and we can under most circumstances guarantee a decent A to B flight on VATSIM, many systems are still in active development. Features that are currently inoperative will be added over time in order to achieve our primary goal to simulate all features from the real aircraft.
