| Documented highlights | Fuel trim and flight controls are different systemsFlyByWire'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. Fuel transfer manages balance, while the sidestick checks concern the flight controls. Released product and variantsThe free A380X is publicly available through the FlyByWire installer for both MSFS generations, including a native 2024 version. FlyByWire still describes it as an open alpha and maintains a list of unimplemented systems; several systems remain unimplemented. | A detailed documentation summary has not been added yet. |
