October 26, 20241 yr Apparently performance of the A380X was better (at times significantly) in the MSFS 2024 tech alpha when some of them tested it there .. but they're still saying cautioning not everything is expected to work right out of the gate when 2024 releases. The screenshots of the cockpit they're shuffling thru in the stream now, oh my!

October 26, 20241 yr Looks like Andreas has tested it in MSFS 2024, he said it works (not everything there) and the performance is better there. Good days ahead of us Edited October 26, 20241 yr by omarsmak30 AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 64GB DDR5 6000MHZ RAM, RX7900XT, FreeSync 165hz 1440p display
October 26, 20241 yr Question about feel of flight, inertia, etc... A: On the ground you'll certainly feel the heaviness of the aircraft.. in the air they're working a lot on feel of flight. Various type-rated pilots helping out. As in IRL it feels light and nimble in the air (vs ground) but the inertia is felt when a roll is initiated, once it starts turning then it feels agile as per IRL aircraft apparently. Landing and flare also conveys the heft of the aircraft.

October 26, 20241 yr It seems that their graphical modeling in the cockpit is much higher quality than what they have on the A320neo. Looking forward to spending some time with this one. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next

Good days ahead of us Yeah it was really a huge difference overall. I had Aerosoft EDDF, Photogrammetry and the A380 and it was so smooth even with TAA and everything on Ultra only level of details on 100. it’s really lovely. But there have been strange issues with the plane when starting the flight. But I wouldn’t pay too much attention into that, because in another payware airliner for example the cockpit was unusable - but I guess this type of stuff will be fixed until release, I mean it was a Tech Alpha to test the backend services and not the client.

October 26, 20241 yr I played with it at FS EXPO and it looked ready to go. Not sure why they are calling it an Alpha. It's more like a late stage beta. Excited to finally get my hands on it.
