It looks very nice Savas!!  :) But with the real thing only having seen several hours of flight, can the flight dynamics and the systems really be accurately replicated?

You can have a pretty good guess the the FBW control software will be written to give the aircraft handling characteristics as similar to the A330 and A340 is possible, so it would make sense to use those as benchmarks.

Nice shots Stephen...

Right, I think I'll wait to get an A380 payware untill developers can work together with the real pilots. But I agree, great shots!!  :D

I can tell you, the aircraft is crap.
Look for better freeware models in the next 3-4 months or so.

Very true, although as PSS (the better Airbus makers) has learned, there is a huge difference in the FBW PSS uses and the Airbus FBW

And the FBW system isn't even complete in the real bus, it was barely tested during the testflight on april 27th since most of the flight was flown in direct law.

Just loates the way of advertising  a product the way Wilco does with the A380.  :P
