NOT A REAL PILOT! Just an aviation enthusiast sharing what I have learned about the various aircraft we can all pretend to fly in simulators. Along the way I occasionally write up checklists for the more complex aircraft.
Great video Jonathan! Here’s a tip for getting the weight for the takeoff calculations automatically in the PFD. Once boarding and fuelling is complete press the FUEL PRED button on the MCDU, then click on the ZFW button. That will populate the screen with the data. Then go back to the EFB takeoff page and press sync and you will get the weight populated.
The Navigraph FP showed a SID transition. Transitions are on the MCDU departure screen RHS. Selecting the transition would’ve avoided the discontinuity.
This airplane on xbox is terrible . No nose steering when taxing no lnav throttles are on full or on idle nothing in between , wish I could delete it 😂
On PC i had almost no nose steering either untul i changed settings on the cockpit tablet. There is an option called "rudder controlls tiller" or something likie that and turning it on "YES" position solved the problem. I hope it will work for you too :D
I am having no trouble on the Xbox series x. Only issue with the plane is the slowing down once on finals, it appears to me to be too slow and quiet often get over speed warning.
How is this aircraft 10 months later? Website still shows this aircraft in Early Access...there are so many bloatware add-ons in the Flight Sim space that advertise one thing and fail to deliver, and there are usually no buyer protections for these sorts of things either (virtually no refund policies of any kind exist for products that don't live up to expectations). Many products exist as a measly cash grab so has this aircraft gotten better? Is VNAV properly implemented yet? Any other bugs since been squashed?
how come that in every video I watch the inibuilds a320 autopilot seems to work just fine whereas when I use it it works terribly, flying the aircraft in a zig-zag fashion always struggling to follow the flight plan ?
If it's zig-zagging, it may be due to flt pln discontinuity. Once you've imported/set up your flt plan, scroll through it using the MCDU and check the MFD to see if your flt plan is looking good to go. If there is discontinuity, clear it and it should be good to go, though id recommend doing it after you've input the departure and arrival information as that too could create a discontinuity.
@@WNxDavid990 nah, theee is absolutely no discontinuity. It is just struggling to follow the flight plan route: imagine the green flight plan line on the ND, and the aircraft not flying it in a straight way, but in a zig-zag way, constantly overshooting everything, going left to right and not managing to get back on the right track. It’s just so strange
@@lorenzodemarin7783 hmmmm, that does sound strange. The one time that happened to me was in the A310, but that was because I had a discontinuity in the flt plan.
@@WNxDavid990 Yep, I agree on that - it’s definitely strange. However, I’m 100% sure there was no discontinuity because I always scroll down though the flight plan to check for any discontinuities or other issues with it
I wanted to ask why do you write up your own procedures/checklists? From a realism and immersion standpoint, don't you think actual checklists would give a more authentic experience? Even if manuals are not included in the documentation with the aircraft, there are so many sources available to get real checklists and procedures. Just curious as to what your opinion is on this. Thanks.
The procedures he writes are designed to get you in the air as quickly as possible. Sure it misses out checks and stuff you'd do IRL, but sometimes I'm short for time, so I follow his procedures. If I have more time, I do use the checklist it has in game as it's very detailed.
Thank you for this. This MSFS casual flyer is learning the FSReborn M500 and about ready to learn an A320 (This one or the FBW one). Your videos make this easier to learn. Edit: What might be interesting is to have a flight using the FBW A320 and this one using the same route. Then in video editing combine them into one flight. This way you can show comparisons between the two A320s and how they perform that particular part of the flight.
I've noticed you also get the texture flickering on the overhead panel. I've started to experience this on the Skyvan but also on the 737. Switching from DX12 to DX11 fixed it for me but I wonder if it was a recent Nvidia driver. Any ideas?
Hi john, ive had an issue with my a320, everytime im taxiing and put on the brake my mcdu and systems completely reset. has this issue been fixed if you know of this issue ?
Using this now in Onair Company for cargo. unsurprisingly this thing loses altitude and speed like no other plane I've ever flown in the sim. Takes a minute to adjust. i like it!
You flew right over my neighborhood. V. Bazillo's airports are fantastic; I feel lucky that they are close to where I live. A not-so-secret 'easter egg' is a Dr. Pepper machine somewhere in all his airports.
If you click on Weather in Navigraph (Above filters) one of the options is METAR. You can then click on the METAR bubble on an airport and the info pane will show the METAR and a text format similar to LNM.
I'm 5 minutes into the video and at the risk of repeating myself, this is an ezcellent tutorial. I'm sure I've said that before some time ago, but I don't care, I enjoyed it several times.
Has anybody tried this on Xbox? Of course it's not free there, which is horrible, but wonder if it is too demanding for that platform. It looks great on this video, and Milwaukee did need something in the sim besides the stupid enhanced night.
Great video, thanks. Just a quick note: Beacon needs to be "on" before engine start to also warn ground staff that the engines might be started any minute.
Hi Jonathan, thanks for all the videos. The industrial buildings near the airport at Leeds are the remains of a WW2 Avro factory. They built either or both Wellingtons/Lancasters there. Just thought people might be interested.
