Meet Airbus A380
The A380 arranged two passenger decks within a very large four-engine airframe. Its programme targeted heavily travelled routes and major hub airports. The aircraft's wide wing and extensive landing gear reflect the scale of the design.
Airline interiors vary substantially, so a single seating figure does not describe every A380. Its simulator implementations likewise have their own cockpit and systems scope. The available developer documentation is more useful than assuming that the aircraft's physical size establishes the depth of the simulation.

Fuel trim and flight controls are different systems
FlyByWire's A380X documentation separates trim-tank fuel management from the flight-control checks performed with the sidestick. It also identifies autopilot engagement and hydraulic shutdown procedures. Keeping those meanings of trim separate is useful when exploring a large, highly automated aircraft.
