Advancing the throttles on four massive turbofans results in a surprisingly quiet but relentless acceleration. Thanks to X-Plane 12's improved ground friction physics, taxiing requires careful planning; the pilot sits far forward of the nose gear, requiring "over-steering" turns to keep the main gear on the taxiway centerlines. Rotation is slow and deliberate, and the aircraft climbs efficiently to its initial cruise altitudes despite its massive weight. Cruise and High-Altitude Aerodynamics xplane 12 a380
