I would say if you have a program like Panel Studio go ahead and make your own ASI strip. If not find another Primary Flight Display ( PFD ) from a different aircraft that matches the one you have in the A-380, and that goes to 500 indicated or higher if you like, and then swap out (by a copy and paste) the one in the panel.cfg of your A-380 aircraft with your new one you found.
One note when you go to swap (by a copy and paste) the gauge(s) make sure you have the gauge.xml/dll/or cab that is needed to work the componets of the swapped gauge.
Example and a brief explaination of a gauge line in the panel.cfg:
gauge07=Lockheed_Vega!rpm, 506,676,70,70
The Lockheed_Vega! is the gauge file required to run the componets of the "rpm" gauge in the example. So you would be looking for either in the panel folder or the main Gauge folder of the flight simulator for a gauge file named Lockheed Vega to add to the main Gauge folder of your flight simulator if is not in there already, to make the rpm gauge operational.
The 506,676,70,70 are the parameters of the gauge and location on the panel. 506, is the left and right, 676, is the up and down positions on the dash in the panel, and the 70, 70 is the width and height of the rpm gauge.
Most likely if you pick a gauge from the aircraft you have installed in your flight simulator, there is a good possibility it already resides in your main Gauge folder of your flight simulator and your good to go. If not it would be located in the panel folder of the aircraft you want to get your new gauge from, then make a copy of that gauge file and paste into your main Gauge folder of your flight simulator.
