What has that person done to try and improve this hobby rather than abuse

goes both ways

updated the dev mode one for a test flight this morning and the VRAM is sitting at 9gig. some good improvements. lets see how it flies

My last experience with this aircraft was catastrophic but with this new iteration it is good. Performance is here

Was a huge advocate for this aircraft when it was first released. There was some yearly poll (can't recall where - could have been avsim?) some time ago where the question was to name your aircraft add-on of the year, I was the only one to nominate the FBW A380. Absolutely loved it, flew it at every chance.

Then they did something to the on-ground handling, specifically taxiing. Granted I use a joystick twist axis, but I used to have no trouble keeping it on the centre line. Now I throw fishtails up and down the taxiways of wherever in the world I happen to be. Really frustrating.

Waiting on the inibuilds effort, and hoping it taxis like their A350. I can hear the purists screaming about accuracy and proper groundhandling, how it's the largest passenger aircraft and it shouldn't be easy to control, but a guy can dream.

had a couple of glitches out of sydney must be a leak somewhere as the vram box flashed up and then went again then at sydney I had the mesh issue i didnt know about until reading RIks post and fix on the forumn

I think I flew this in MSFS2020 before I moved to MSFS2024.

Just hand flew flew KJFK to KBOS after setting 'state' to 'ready for t/off', & also used the AP enroute, but left the FMS/MFD's alone.

In summary, very solid flight, looks good & feels good in the air, & I managed a landing at KBOS that left the undercarriage intact.

FBW can be justly proud of what they have achieved so far. I need to learn a few things about the throttles & the FMS/MFD units, but will certainly be putting more air time into this freeware gem.
