During a livestreamed event, the developer revealed that the aircraft will launch very soon on October 31, 2024. As you may already know if you followed the project, it’ll be completely free.

It’ll be available for download on FlyByWire’s popular installer.

This is an open alpha stage capable of flying from A to B on Vatsim, which means that the simulation is advanced enough, but it’s not finished. For instance, we hear that the climb performance is way too good and needs to be tweaked.

You can read the previous post on what you can expect from this stage of the aircraft and what you shouldn’t expect.

The aircraft will have a fully rendered cabin, albeit the business class is still a work in progress. You can check out a few screenshots below.

A Simbrief profile will be provided alongside a beginner’s guide for those who want to learn to fly this massive aircraft.

Interestingly, it was tested in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024’s tech alpha and the developers mention that it performs even better than in the original MSFS.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is currently available for PC and Xbox Series X|S, albeit the A380 won’t ever land on Xbox, considering that the developer doesn’t plan a release on the official in-sim marketplace. You can take a look at the latest related news from yesterday.

You may also be interested in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, which will release on November 18 for PC and Xbox Series X|S. If you are, you can enjoy our hands-on preview with plenty of interesting details for your perusal.

You can also watch our interview with Head of MSFS Jorg Neumann and Asobo CEO Sebastian Wloch, another with Asobo CCO David Dedeine, and one featuring Chris Burnett of Working Title and Brandon Yaeger of Got Friends about their work on MSFS 2024.
