On the newer standard of MCDU, the gross weight will not appear on the lower ECAM until first Engine start. You can check the gross weight prior to push-back on the FUEL PRED page. Regards.....
I've never flown airbus, Boeing only, the airbus FMGC is apparently more advanced and has very nice features however Boeing FMCs are way more intuitive to preflight as each next step is prompted on key 6R and far less data and page changes are required.
100% agree. The Airbus MCDU is very easy to use and it helps you a lot while typing in all of your data. And yes the Boeing one is very user freindly. You can just jump from step to step :)
Nii P. Yeah, actually I agree with you. It is the lack of practice what makes it a bit tedious. But if you know your DIFSRIPP and your HAT everything flows like a river.
then you should watch a tutorial for your specific flight sim plane. People coming here either want to become a pilot or want the flight sim (!) as real as it gets - like me.
