FBW A380 Status?

Featured Replies

One of the aircraft I am looking forward to seeing released is the FlyByWire A380.

Anyone know what the current development status is?

Last I heard was no release before 2024 (which doesn't mean it will be released in 2024, more like "definitely NOT in 2023"), but I don't know any details about the state it's in.

For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

Hoping at least at least an experimental branch (not stable) can be released by/before EOY 2023? Like, really hoping 🙂

The FBW team probably doesn't want to release it prematurely, because then the flight sim community may just dump on them, if the flight sim community thinks the FBW A380 is not up to par.

This is a very strange phenomenon, because it's free in the end.  Personally, I don't complain about free stuff.  But some people, even if it's free, they will dump on the free product/service anyways.

I think the FBW team just has very high expectations, and they want good feedback and good reviews by the community when the A380 is released.  I don't think the FBW team would release the A380 if it had comparable quality and features to the FBW A320, one or two months after the release of MSFS back in 2020.
