If there was a contest of the worst aircraft add-on, this A380 would be at least one of the winners. Perfect Flight developed a complete, but horrible aircraft package. So what's the problem with this aircraft? Well let's see: Too much climb performance, the angle of the main landing gear is not right, doesn't have suspension and is floating.
Also, the engines are not Rolls-Royce Trent 900 or Engine Alliance GP7000 and shouldn't have IAE style reversers, the outboard engines shouldn't have reversers, the rudder effect is insufficient, simple panel and virtual cockpit that do not resemble the real A380 cockpit and the liveries are not very well done and do have too much reflection.
At least the autopilot seems to be working and the flight dynamics are ok. A two deck passenger cabin is modeled into the virtual cockpit, although the quality isn't very good. The weather radar visible on screenshot 2 and 3 is just a dummy and doesn't actually work. A brief manual explains various features of this package. |

Mytravel dont even want the A380 because it cant takeoff from most of the airports they operate at.
