FOUR ENGINES, TWO DECKS—A GLOBAL ICON
The iniBuilds A380 Airliner for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 brings the world’s largest passenger aircraft to life with an exceptional level of depth and authenticity. From its unmistakable double-deck design and four-engine configuration to its highly advanced flight deck and systems, every detail has been carefully developed using real-world data and extensive reference material, capturing the immense scale, sophistication and unique character of the A380.
From cold & dark to shutdown, the A380 delivers an immersive and rewarding experience across every phase of flight. Its advanced fly-by-wire systems, comprehensive flight-management capabilities and highly automated flight deck allow you to manage one of the most complex commercial aircraft ever built. Detailed systems modelling and authentic aircraft behaviour bring the A380’s distinctive handling and operational procedures to life, whether flying a short repositioning sector or crossing continents.
The aircraft is further supported by a feature-rich EFB, providing the tools required to configure, manage and operate the aircraft efficiently. Whether you prefer a streamlined setup or a more hands-on experience, the A380 offers an accessible yet deeply engaging simulation for pilots of all experience levels.
Whether you’re rediscovering this modern icon or stepping onto its flight deck for the first time, the iniBuilds A380 allows you to command one of aviation’s greatest engineering achievements and experience long-haul flying on an entirely new scale.

Systems
- Persistent aircraft-state simulation, retaining fuel quantities, switch positions and system conditions between simulator sessions.
- Fully simulated potable-water and waste systems, including consumption, accumulation and ground servicing across multiple sectors.
- Independent Display Unit management, allowing pop-up displays and interchangeable cockpit screens to operate separately.
- Authentic Brake to Vacate (BTV) functionality, providing predicted runway-exit performance and automatic turnaround-time calculations.
- Refined PRIM and fly-by-wire logic, featuring realistic response delays, improved stability and dedicated A380 rotation laws.
- Detailed Vertical Situation Display (VSD), presenting terrain, flight path and altitude constraints to support descent planning.
- Advanced weather-radar simulation with adjustable tilt and azimuth controls.
- Dynamic fuel-temperature simulation across individual tanks, including ECAM indications when operating limits are exceeded.
- Comprehensive landing-gear simulation, including functional body-gear steering and MSFS 2024 suspension modelling.
- ATA-organised failure system covering engine fuel leaks, gradual pressurisation leaks and individual Display Unit failures.
- Configurable failure scheduling, allowing faults to occur immediately or randomly during flight.
- Selectable Early-MSN and Modern-MSN configurations with era-appropriate FMS capabilities, flight-guidance logic, protections and procedures.
- Distinct Trent 900 and GP7200 engine simulations with individual start behaviour, spool dynamics, thrust response and cockpit indications.
- GSX integration connecting aircraft systems with ground services, including potable-water and waste servicing.
Visuals
- Extensively detailed exterior model with refined geometry across the belly and lower fuselage.
- Highly detailed wings with individually modelled control surfaces, spoilers and associated moving components.
- Dedicated Trent 900 and GP7200 engine models, accurately representing the external characteristics of each powerplant.
- Fully modelled engine interiors for both available engine options.
- Detailed recreation of the A380’s multi-bogie landing-gear arrangement.
- Interactive MSFS 2024 Walkaround features with animated air-conditioning hatches, ground-power connections, APU access and servicing panels.
Sounds
- Individually developed sound profiles for the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 and Engine Alliance GP7200.
- Engine-specific start-up and shutdown sound characteristics matched to the selected powerplant.
- Dynamic engine audio reflecting differences in spool behaviour, thrust response and engine architecture.
- Fully integrated optional RAAS voice callouts supporting runway awareness during taxi, departure and arrival.
- Engine audio changes automatically with the selected Trent 900 or GP7200 variant, remaining accurately paired with its visual model and systems behaviour.
- Responsive engine sound behaviour reflecting changes in thrust demand and simulated spool state.
Art & Effects
- Custom dynamic wing flex responding to aerodynamic forces, aircraft weight, turbulence and manoeuvring loads.
- Control-surface and spoiler animations that follow the changing shape of the wing.
- Progressive landing-gear compression and independent bogie movement as aircraft weight transfers during touchdown.
- Detailed tyre and wheel water-spray effects when operating on wet surfaces.
- Custom engine water spray, reverse-thrust effects and atmospheric engine vortices.
- Bespoke heat-blur effects for all four engines and the APU.
- Custom in-flight contrails and visible fuel-jettison effects.
- Visual abnormal-event effects, including engine flames, smoke, tail-strike sparks and visible hull damage.
EFB/OIT
- Integrated take-off performance calculator providing V-speeds, FLEX temperature and stop margins based on aircraft weight, configuration, runway conditions and weather.
- Full support for intersection departures, automatically accounting for reduced take-off distance.
- Integrated NSS Avionics domain with switching between avionics and Flight Operations functions.
- Dedicated NSS inbox for receiving and reviewing AOC communications.
- Expanded crew-identification and operating-status fields.
- Improved chart searching with pagination controls and support for multi-page Lido charts.
- Streamlined numeric entry through familiar numpad-style keyboards across NSS Avionics and Flight Operations.
- Centralised Notification Centre for aircraft and EFB messages, including GSX notifications and ground-service status.
