Best Airbus A380?

Postby Splat762 » Fri Nov 25, 2005 1:13 am

Hey guys I have done a search here on SimV and come up with a couple of hits but I am wondering which Airbus A380 is the best.  Looking for the best looking graphically, the most bells and whistles, and the best handling....

...and if said Airbus does exisit...some good recommendations for repaints would be nice too.  :)

Let me know!  Thanks!

I am personally a fan of Mike Stone's model.  The base is here http://www.simviation.com/fs2004jets38.htm.  There are a number of repaints here.  It just depends on what airlines you would like.

Also check out the Robert Versluys model - many available - like this Air France version

If you want one with VC - there is the AFS version but there are banners on the VC unless you pay to upgrade to a banner free version.

I use RV's version and am happy with it. Nice shine, wing flex, 3 opening doors, etc. BUT, i'd reccomend ditching the panel and getting Ken Mitchel's panel for the A340, the best Airbus panel i've seen with a working FMC and GPS display on the navigation screen.

The airfrance and Virtual British Airways livery is the best paint I have seen. Which ever Airbus you do get make sure you go to the SimV panel directory and download the A380 panel!
