FlyByWire Simulations' open-source projects recreating the Airbus A320neo (A32NX) and A380-800 (A380X) as free, high-fidelity aircraft add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024. Built by a large community, the aircraft feature deeply simulated systems, custom avionics, and an installer for easy installation.
Use cases
- fly a realistic free Airbus A320neo in Microsoft Flight Simulator
- practice Airbus A320 procedures and flows at home
- get a study-level A380 for MSFS 2020 or 2024
- replace the default MSFS A320 with better systems depth
- contribute to open-source flight simulator aircraft development
- run gate-to-gate Airbus tutorials for flight sim training
When to choose
- you fly Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 or 2024 and want a free, high-fidelity Airbus A320neo or A380
- you want study-level systems depth without paying for payware aircraft
- you want an actively maintained addon with frequent releases and strong community support
- you want to contribute code, docs, or testing to an open-source sim project
When to avoid
- you fly on X-Plane, P3D, or another simulator - these aircraft are MSFS-only
- you need official airline-approved training fidelity or certification
- you want other aircraft types (Boeing, regional jets) - only the A320neo and A380 are offered
- you need a lightweight casual addon - these are complex, study-level aircraft with a learning curve
