If you have watched any video of mine, this one to me is the best. It starts in London's Heathrow International and finishes in Frankfurt Germany. The aircraft flown is Overland's Airbus A380 and it has to be one of the best planes in my arsenal of planes and I have them all. The PMDG is great but this one can hold her own. Frames per second are amazing with this bird. Here are some true facts about the A380.
After years of design studies and airline surveys, Airbus finally made the decision to go ahead with the 8.8 Billion Euro A380 project in 1999, the fianl budget settling at about 12 Billion Euro. The design strategy was carefully crafted and by being very large the A380 achieves much better seat-distance than any other aircraft. The 747 achieved this in 1969 by being a wide body jet as opposed to the A380's double-decker configuration with early concept 747 double-decker designs rejected for many reasons.

The A380 features an all-new wing design after it was found the A340 wing was to small to be efficient at the sort of gross weights required for a 600 seat aircraft and rather then settler for a 600 tonne wing design instead aimed the wing design at 750 tonnes. This sacrificed some fuel efficiency but the sheer size of the design coupled with the incremental advances in technology over teh years allows Airbus to claim 15 percent better economics than a 747 or an A340. The rationale for this design is that Airbus will be able to produce bigger versions of the A380 which will reach their optimum cost-efficiency somewhere around the 700 to 800 passenger mark-- close to twice the size of a 747-400.

  • @Tutorialesfree you are not right about that! look at the abacus a380!

  • Overland made the VC cockpit spoiled because they probably wanted to be the first ones out of all e.g. PSS, PMDG to make the A380 thats why they could've ditched it

  • @Tutorialesfree You think that's bad try the FCS abacus a380 SHOCKING.
