You've got an interesting video with a fully populated cockpit(Skalarki?) . Good thing your'e also open for suggestions. Most airlines put on the seatbelt signs at about 10000 feet I think, but in your airline they put it on at FL380 ;) But a very good flight in a nice cockpit, thank you !
Hey, the maint problem was that Airbus prohibits GS or GS* if you do not have at least LOC*. So you need LOC* or LOC to get GS* or GS. At 1:22:14 you got the intercept course for the ILS14L but you were still pretty far out (maybe 3 miles) from the extended centerlice rwy 14L. Now, the GS was alive and as well as you at 4000ft but the localiser was not yet alive and as i said, you need LOC* to capture the GS. At 1:23:07 the controller told you to descend to 2500 feet and you should have used VS to stay below or on the GS (Groundspeed/60 x Angle of Descend (3° in cologne) x 100 gives you the appropriate Vertical Speed, so 170/60 x 3 x 100 = 850 feet/minute). Now the problem is that the GS goes below you and you land up above the GS. At 1:23:46 you should have use VS to descend with the GS. Also you went direct to the outer marker which was not nessecary because the Localiser would have turned you on the final anyways and you were still about 1 mile out. At 1:24:46 the localiser became alive so that wouldn't have been a problem. And finally at 1:25:12 the capture mode became active (LOC*) and as you see, immediatly GS* comes on . So in conclusion the controller turned you in pretty early so you were not able to get LOC*, you should have used VS to stay on the GS and waited till LOC* became alive so that GS* can come alive. Hope that helps!
Hey, thanks for the detailed analysis. You are totally right. Normally I was expecting LOC come alive first or together with the GS. And yes, VS would have been way better, but I was so baffled at this moment why it did not capture the ILS, that all I could think of was disengaging the AP, because I thought it was faulty or I programmed it incorrectly. Well, next time I'll keep this scenario in mind. And when I cross the GS, engage VS until it is properly captured.
Hi can i ask how to bind the FDs of both captain and f/o side in one button? I got the f/o single trainer and Im trying to bind two functions in one button
Well, it is not totally black, of course, and the overlapping / blended areas are brighter than the rest, but if you turn down the light in the cockpit, you can see all the details you need to see.
@@a320home9 nice! I just thought night flying might look more real, since the buttons arent that lit up :) but i forgot about the projector! Anyways, you have an amazing simulator! I wish i could have one one day 😃
@@a320home9 1 more question: Does Prosim A320 have a Virtual cockpit? For example: if i use ProsimA320 in MSFS 2020 and i only have the pedestal like hardware, do i have the virtual £d cockpit like the Fenix?
@@animatedchristmascollector3754 I am using the default liveries coming with the aircraft, in which I have not seen Jetstar. But there is also an additional livery pack which might have it included. In the sim you select the aircraft and the liveries like any other. They are installed via the ProSim suite and executables. But ultimately they end up in the Community folder of MSFS like any other addon. Keep in mind that ProSim is tailored to heavy duty. So all patches, flight model updates etc. can be done very easily. E. g. if the suite detects an available patch, you can download and install it on the spot, and all other modules and clients even across your network on client PCs are automatically patched to the compatible version, even during runtime. Also a revert or downgrade is possible and as easy as an updgrade, since in the suite you see the whole version history and can just install the version you want, no matter if higher or lower than your current one. So after the initial install of the suite I never had to mess around on file system level again.
@@animatedchristmascollector3754 Sorry, it is a paint kit with which people can make their own liveries. Sometimes people link their self-made liveries in the forums.
how people get that much money???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Well not fully with the A320 cockpit, since it is different from the A340. Also I do not know the Toliss A340 and its interfacing capability. In my case, with ProSim, the hardware does not interface with MSFS or Prepar3D at all, only with ProSim. So there is a hardware abstraction layer needed to be implemented.
Great video..thank you. Where did you buy the equipment. I’m just looking into buying and building a complete home cockpit. I retired 1 year ago after 41 years as an airline pilot and would love an A320 or A330 simulator.
Yes, it does. The skalarki panels are communicating with ProSim anyhow, no matter what simulator is behind. I can switch between P3D and MSFS at any time without having to make any changes to ProSim nor Skalarki hardware.
@@a320home9 I know you were expecting to use managed speed all the way down, which appeared to be faulty, or it was going by the MAX speed limits which are not always recommended. Regardless, I always use selected speed to manage the aircraft's energy myself under 10,000ft with the idea of always being ahead of the plane. A big red flag during the approach was turning onto final approach at 220kts while on the glidepath. If it was me, I'd have dialed back the speed during those left turns while you had increased drag or better yet decend to the MSA and bleed that speed off. You cannot go down and slow down unfortunately, so you either decend, level off and bleed the speed or bleed the speed first and opt for a shallower decent starting further out. I personally perfer to decend first then bleed off the speed at idle thrust before decending again at a speed I know won't leave a heap of excess energy later on. Just my 2c on the matter, not a professional by any means :)
@@FlightAce100 I agree. Since I recorded this video, I give way more attention to separating descend and deceleration. Having to do both at the same time is never good. But even professional airliner pilots mention that sometimes they drop the gear earlier for the sake of drag.
Aus welcher Ecke von Bayern? Ich bin A320 Pilot und habe aus Platzmangel nur ein Mini-Home-Cockpit mit Skalarki/4imPott. Vlt. nimmst du mich mal mit und ich gebe dir bei Bedarf ein paar Tipps für deinen Approach 😉
@@FlyWithRookie Within one day you can have a decent result. But be prepared to be tweaking for some time. Some things you only recognize while simming.
@@FlyWithRookie You can cover 1,5m height and 180 degrees completely. But you lose a lot of pixels. More pixels used, better warping quality. To utilize more pixels, you need to give up some coverage. In my case I sacrificed the left and right lower corners, which normally are obstructed by the frame or cockpit shell anyway.
Hey how did you get all the buttons mapped in MSFS? There are many buttons in the A320 that can't be mapped in the game controls. Are you using another software for that?
@@a320home9 newbie question.... as it seems the prosim driver or whatver it is allows flawless connection from hardware to plane... can you buy this software/driver without the prosim a320 aircraft as i am reading its 1500 euros for a year licence ? thanks
