hi guys......

my story is I bought the origin version of AIRBUS A380

then I began to install it in my PC, after all It didn't open because the update of FS2004.

I didn't understand what the game want, and what to do?

all the requirements which is: 1- microsoft flight simulator 2002/2004 :-?
                                            2-windows XP
                                             3-256 MB ram
                                             4-240MB hard disk space

number one I don't have it, so I looked for it, but I didn't found the program

So please help me as fast as. Or I'll give it back to the store.

Best bet would be to contact whoever wrote or sold you the Airbus program, if you haven't already.
But double-check the "Read Me" file... might be some info in there.

Reading through that, It seems as though you have purchased an aeroplane ADD-ON for the FS 2004 Flight Simulator....
But you haven't yet purchased, and installed the FS 2004 Simulator program.... ...!

The A380 add-on wont work without the FS 2004 simulator in place...!!


It sounds as though you have spotted the Boxed Version of the A 380 in the Shop, and assumed that it will install and run straight out of the box as a self-contained program....!

FS 2002/2004 First.
Add-Ons next.

Paul... 8-)...!

Looking at my box for the abacus A380, I see the very top line of text to read: "Exciting Add-on For Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 and 2002." No way anyone could have missed that if they wanted to be sure a software will work on their machine...

You must inspect before you can expect...

That's what I read too Paul.

Talk about buying a saddle and then expecting to find a horse under it.

Please don't take my words as an offense, it isn't. Actually you just made my... night (merry X-mas to all those who celebrate this holiday), but really you should be more careful about what you buy.

Solution: (because I like to make constructive criticism) either buy and install FS9 (it's cheap lately, what with FSX having made its appearance) and then your A380, or try and convince the salesman to change the box you bought with another software/hardware/whateveryoumightlike.

I often wonder how many Mum's, Dad's, Grand-Ma's, Grand-Dad's, etc,  buy little Johnny a game in the Game Shop not realising that it's only an "add-on" to a necessery full game program...

...very easilly done for the unknowledgeable in such things...

I purchased a bell once....
..not realising that I needed to obtain the bicycle first...
...arse...!

LOL... ...!

OK guys thank you all.

I have big question.


this game (A380) does it need any hardware to buy? or just software?


after installed in my PC, I click the logo of the game then this message appear(click next to update FS2004)

last point  what is microsoft flight simulator? software or hardware, could I download it from NET.

Minimum REAL hardware to run DECENTLY FS9 (which is fortunately a software) is a Pentium 4 2400 (or equivalent) with 1 Gb ram and a 128Mb ram videocard of of the Nvidia Fx series (or ATI equivalent).

If your PC is such or better, go BUY a FS9 package (not download, bad, bad, bad... BUY  ;) ) and install it, ensure it is the V 9.1 and if it isn't patch it with the M$ patch (easily found with google) and then install your A380 in it.

If your PC is lesser than indicated and you don't want to upgrade just yet, then try and find a FS2002 package (that while not as good as FS9, it's still a very good simulator) and install in it your A380. Seen that it can work in both 2002 and 2004, you have the choice.

In both cases the simulators you must buy, not download, but don't worry, as said before FS9 is found cheap now that FSX is out, and FS2002 is even cheaper (but you could have problems find FS2002 in the shops). 8-)

THAT's mean I can't play it on keyboard?

my PC  is better.

Of course you can play with the keyboard... even if (I warn you on the basis of having ceased simulating so with FS98) you'll find your piloting to be incredibly approximative and not really immersive.

If you have at least a simple cheap joystick, use it, it will give you a WAY better interface with the simulated environment.

thank you all

I bought the origin version of FS2004 8-)

and now I began to install it


so if I have a problem, I hope not, I'll contact you


thank you again
