A380 FMC not operatable

Featured Replies

Cannot get the FMC to do anything. Buttons do not work.  Any help???  Can't find a manual for it anywhere.

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱

What A-380 are we referring to??

At the end of the day I don't think it really matters as I suspect none of the A380s currently available for FSX function particularly well. In an effort to find a decent version, I purchased (perhaps foolishly) the Abacus and AFS versions and when both of these proved seriously sub-optimal, I tried the Wilco version and even that was not up of the quality we expect from FSX payware aircraft today. I didn't even bother trying the Perfect Flight version as my experience of this developer in the past are that their products are far from 'perfect' and I suspect that their A380 is the same quality!

There are also freeware A380s available and freeware FMC's (Garrett Smith's Honeywell FMC springs to mind).

I have finally answered my own question as to the availability of a FMC Manual for Abacus A380.  Where it always was,  Start/All Programs/Abacus Software. Now I will have to experiment to see if it was a wise investment. ( Hard to beat PMDG)
