This add-on contains the Airbus A380-800 Qantas aircraft based on Lua script.

The mesh (3D model) together with a texture have been bought by me under "Standard License":
https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/airbus-a380-800-qantas-1664899

Required Orbiter version: Orbiter 2024
The add-on version: 0.1
The add-on author: misha.physics

INSTALLATION: Unpack this add-on into Orbiter main directory.

There is a scenario located in /Scenarios/Airbus A380-800 Qantas.

Controls:

Ctrl + L for enabling/disabling lights;
E for enabling/disabling propeller animation, sound, engine, throttle control;
Standard commands for main, retro thrusters;
G for gears;
Delete/Insert for elevator trimmer.

Physical parameters are not real and the flight model (aerodynamics) is based on /Config/Vessels/DeltaGlider/Deltaglider.lua (Martin Schweiger, Gondos).

It would be good to update this add-on in the future. You may contribute implementing better (more realistic) physical parameters/aerodynamic model for this aircraft, just take part in the discussion thread for this add-on.

Thanks to Thunder Chicken for Lua scripts that I used as examples.
Two sounds was taken from the Boeing 747 add-on by Matias Saibene.
Thanks to Buck Rogers for the help with making looped songs for this add-on.

There are three sounds in /XRSound/AirbusA380-800Qantas, namely "Engine.wav", "External.wav", "Internal.wav". The only first is used for now, since I don't know how to assign different sounds for external and internal views yet.
