Thus, the fact that this project is being handled by volunteers should impress fans. The effort that the FBW team is putting in seems to run at the same caliber expected by a payware studio, such as PMDG. It’s not the first time that the aircraft has been tackled by freeware developers, but it’s never been done to this scope and magnitude.

Likewise, Flybywire’s ‘A380X’ project is easily one of the most colossal freeware projects ever undertaken in the world of flight simulation. The Airbus A380 is the largest commercial passenger jet ever created, and one of the world’s largest aircraft, period. Microsoft Flight Simulator – Airbus A380X update Recently, the team provided an impressive dev update via a YouTube video which provides the most detailed look at the A380X project ahead of its Microsoft Flight Simulator debut. Now, the team has also been steadily making progress on an original piece of its own: bringing the monolithic Airbus A380 over to the simulator. The developer has been chipping away at enhancing the foundation that Asobo has already laid. The Flybywire team has made quite a name for itself with the stellar work it’s managed to achieve with making the default Airbus A320neo in Microsoft Flight Simulator far more realistic with an array of robust improvements.
