You don't say which A380 or where you downloaded it from. It sounds like you have a Demo or Trial version of a Payware aircraft.

Thanks for the link. I just tried it & it works fine. It's an old FS2004 model updated to work in FSX. It has no VC & is aliased to use the 2D panel of the default B747_400.

You could be looking at the wrong aircraft. Are you sure you installed it correctly? Have you installed any other versions of the A380 or modified the default 747 panel?

I tried it, and had no problems. Could you post a screen shot?

The only A380 we have here that includes a VC and demo banners is the one on this page :

http://www.simviation.com/simviation/static.php?ID=90&page=96

(there are several paint versions here, but they are all the same plane, but none are in the first flight livery)

As Boikat has suggested, some screen shots of the issue would be very helpful here. Wink

You have the one I linked to, which is a free demo of the AFS designs Payware A-380. Wink

The only way to get rid of that banner, is to buy the full version. Wink

No, the one you have linked to in your post, is an FS2004 model that was converted for use in FSX, it has no VC.

The one in your screenshot, regardless of how you got it, is indeed the one I linked to in my post. Wink

I downloaded http://www.simviation.com/simviation/?ID=60&page=5&mark=627 and extracted it into the plane folder but when I did this it worked with the plain but the pilot cockpit looked like an old one from another plane. so I went in to the folder an theres another plain folder called A380_afs_C23_H I put this in the main aircraft folder and then that happern with the trail. Cheesy

Ah, that explains it. The A380_afs_C23_H folder contains a completely separate aircraft. The Demo version of the AFS-Design A380 that Shane mentioned. By pasting the files in with the First Flight A380 you've installed the Demo over the top of it. It should be listed as such on the aircraft selection menu.

I'm not sure what it's doing in the download but it was probably included by mistake.

Beat me to it Doug. Grin

I downloaded it to see what was going on, and sure enough, we were both right. Grin

First time I've seen this happen. I'll let Pete know so he can alter the zip file. Wink
