A380 panel
EHM-0641 Rico:
Javier is right.. the AOA is way to high with full flaps and gear down..
I have to move the seat 'up' to be able to see the runway ..
tested the A380 yesterday with a flight from TNCC to TNCM ...
Also I find the flaps ugly :P on big grey block, no details :P
EHM-1821 Javier:
I've just tested it again and I still think that the EHM A380's AOA is a bit higher than normal,
this is the view im getting
and the AOA on finals (165KIAS)
and flare (155KIAS)
almost no need to flare :]
with first hand experience of seeing a A380 landing;D, i have to say that the AOA on approach is too high but the flare and landing is just right
and btw, has anyone lost the flaps textures on the right wing? mine's not showing, just a shiny surface, not the grey blocky colour :]
EHM-1465 Dominic:
Sorry guys, I have to disagree !
In my tests the nose was only 2.5 degrees above the horizon on approach which seems perfectly reasonable for a plane this size... It all depends on weight, speed, wind and config etc so I don't think there is a right answer to this!
Just remember the main panel hides about 60-70% of your view so it's no wonder you need to change viewpoint to see the runway or press W to get the minipanel!! This isn't the only plane this applies to...
I like the A380 and I'm really glad we've got it - so let's all celebrate our new baby, huh?? :P :P

Errr, partly agree, partly not. Unfortunately not this one is the only plane that you do not have a clean view of the runway. I think it is an FS disease. And this is when Shift+ENTER comes handy.
On many panels you need to adjust the forward view angle to have a "nice" overview on the runway during approach...but it looks a bit odd while taxiing. So, compromises, compromises... I added Javier's panel, and altered a bit the flaps config. Maybe still not perfect, but a bit better ;)
Plz reload the plane if you want these new features. Thx.

Thanks for the fast reaction Robert.
Well Done!
