INOP System

Description

The FlyByWire A380X is an open alpha work in progress. This page describes the systems and features that are currently inoperative or not implemented yet.

Work in Progress

This page is subject to change pending further development to the aircraft, and thus may be out of date. For the most up-to-date list of INOPs and system progress, please see our github page, found here.

A380X INOP systems

These systems are currently not operational / these features are missing and shall thus not lead to bug reports.

ATA 20 Aircraft General / Exterior 3D Model

ATA 21 Air Con / Pressurization / Ventilation

ATA 22 Flight Envelope

  • PRIM FE part (FMS taking over atm)

ATA 22 Autoflight / FCU

  • AP tuning for A380X
  • FLS
  • THR NOISE, DCLB

ATA 22 Flight Management System (FMS)

  • Incomplete pages see: fbw-a380x/src/systems/instruments/src/MFD/pages
  • Separation into three synchronized FMCs and two FMSs (currently one FMC serving one FMS)
  • EO modes / EO SID
  • Accurate CI, OPT and REC MAX FL computation
  • NADP (see THR NOISE above)
  • Fuel planning on FMS/FUEL&LOAD page
  • ATC / datalink
  • FCU BKUP

ATA 23 Communication

  • RMP: HF, TEL, MENU, SATCOM, DATALINK pages CIDS: CALLS buttons

ATA 24 Electrical

ATA 25 Equipment / Cockpit 3D Model

ATA 26 Fire and Smoke Protection

ATA 27 Flight Controls

  • Complete SLAT/FLAP CTL implementation (adapted A32NX computers atm)
  • Automatic pitch trim setting

ATA 28 Fuel

  • Refuel Driver/Refuel Application placeholder pseudo-FQMS implementation (pre-cursor for realistic FQMS implementation while supporting instant load) CPIOM etc. not implemented yet.
  • Automatic fuel transfer system - Not fully implemented yet i.e. AGT off when 2 engines on
  • Manual refueling - Not supported yet
  • Integrated Refuel Panel - Simulated in the systems but not modeled in the plane model, or fully connected to ELEC
  • MFD entry - Not supported yet (ZFW/ZFWCG entry - Possible via EFB currently for testing)

ATA 29 Hydraulic System

  • No accumulators / LEHGS systems
  • Brakes: Only rudimentary + carryover from A32NX
