: A significant community project that modifies the default X-Plane 12 A330 into an A380. While it doesn't have the same ground-up systems depth as a dedicated payware, it is a highly regarded free alternative for casual flying.
For those on a budget, a community-modified version of Christian Rivière's A380 is available as freeware on the X-Plane.org forums. Originally designed for XP11, it has been modified to be "flyable" in X-Plane 12, though users should expect some bugs and missing features, such as accurate tilting landing gear.
