Although it's not scheduled to make its first test flight until later this year, the Airbus Consortium's upcoming Airbus A380 has garnered a tremendous amount of worldwide attention. Here's a monster aircraft with a two-deck fuselage. It's so large that airports will have to make major modifications to accommodate its mammouth footprint.
Airbus' current schedule suggests that the A380 will be available for commercial use by 2006. When certified, the huge plane will transport 550 passengers to destinations up to 8000 miles away. Apparently many prominent international airlines are counting on the A380 to be an economical way to serve their customers. Accordingly, Airbus has more than 150 firm orders for their newest jumbo jet.
For those Flight Simulator pilots who'd like to jump into the cockpit of an A380 now, we have developed a new add-on Fly the Airbus A380. Our newest add-on is available now by download and the CD-ROM version will be available about April 22nd.
This new package features an exquisite visual model, 12 liveries of launch customers, complete 3D virtual cockpit, specialized instrumentation for simplified long-haul flights, and enhanced scenery of the Toulouse Airport area (final assembly point of the A380) replete with AI traffic.
