this helps so much! youtube needs people like you who know what they are talking about and can explain things clearly. hope you grow more man you deserve it
Hi 😊 Thank you very much for your great job !! I’m preparing a french tutorial for the MCDU setup (for A319), I much appreciated your Difs-Rip method, I will talk about it during my next video on Tuesday. Of course, you will be credited with the link of this video, and your RU-vid channel also shared into the description 😊. I’m waiting for your next vids ! See you bro ☺️
This was the greatest contribution to the flight sim community I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing, sir! The devil is in the details, and you showed us a lot of them!
Your tutorials are superb ....not only very informative ,but also the way you in a straight forward talking voice sum up topics checklist style makes it soooooo professional and at the same time entertaining...thnx a lot...I am happy we now have real world pilotes explaining dayly routine in X plane flight simming.... it adds an extra dimension in immersion
Commented on a few of your vids recently, I don't have this particular game but just got FS2020, was looking for more insight into pre take off systems checks, and wow... compared to the FS2020 default systems check, there is sooooo much more going on.. I am humbled, so many acronyms to remember... madness but excellent video.. I wonder how much of this video is transferable to FS2020
Weight Boarding - it makes life VERY easy (lol)...you enter your ZFW & BLOCK FUEL and click it. It will automatically load the aircraft with the ZFW and BLOCK FUEL and also give you your ZFWCG :-)
Amazing tutorial! I just switched over to the Toliss A321 from the Zibo and everything is just completely different as this is my first time flying an airbus. I will be watching every one of your tutorials. Good job!!
Excellent! Love the real pilot detail. Explained lots of questions I had too! Always doing Boeing - just learning Airbus. Question - do Airbus have a TOGA button like Boeings, or is it simply moving thrust up to TOGA level manually?
Hands down this is the best cold and dark episode I've ever seen! I can see how pedantic and passionate you're about flying. Really really appreciate it, good sir. :) Tip to budding pilots: Just open the A320 - 360 Cockpit view to get a hands on feel. :D It worked for me.
Excellent! I'm just leaning the Airbus procedures coming from Boeing (Some only of course!) Thanks for this great tutorial. Do you have a preference for Airbus or Boeing? Why?
👍👍👍 Your question weight boarding: it's more or less the inverse of the other function. You put in ZFW/ZFWCG and it sets pax and cargo so these values come out.
@@ahmadtheaviationlover1937 I know. My answer was about the "weight boarding" function of the FFA320. You put in your favorite ZFW/ZFWCG values and the sun creates a loading that results in this values.
@V1Simulations You've probably answered this a couple of times but I haven't found the answer yet. Why do you start engine 1 first? I looked into the Airbus FCTM and it says to start the Engine 2 first. Well, if the Engine 2 got some of its "moody days" there's no problem to make a cross start with engine 1 though.
I would like to echo Darren's (and others) comments. I've been struggling to get to grips with the Airbus after many sim hours on Boeings/Embraers and the detail in this was outstanding. Looking forward to viewing the next episodes.
Great job on such an informative video. Could you please guide me on a few things? 1) is xplane better than the Microsoft flight simulator in terms of details of abnormal procedure handling? 2)Also xplane 12 is now available, which one is better among the two for A320 and the respective add ons Thank you.
I am a complete noob when it comes to airbus, but with the 737 grounded, airbus is going to be the only game in town for my VA that I can use and ToLiss 319 is on sale. Question: as far as how the MCDU and procedures for navigation go, is it pretty much the same between the 319, 320, and 321 pay aircraft? I'm not trying to start a flame war or anything, I just want to know whether instructional vids made using the 320 or 321 would still apply for the 319? Hopefully, you see this. Thanks in advance, and many thanks for all of your videos. I appreciate you doing them and the knowledge you pass on.
Correction Captain...3 P's...3rd pee is a quick last trip to the washroom prior to departure, or save time, purchase a condom catheter bag (2000 ml). Great for airshows and daughter's piano receitles 8- p Ever use vatsim or Pilot2ATC ?
On the perf page, would it be wrong to input 1/0.6UP as opposed to just 1? Why would you or why wouldn't you input the trim on the perf page as well? Thanks!
The company that sells X-plane 11 is awful. I purchased a third party program, did not work, requested my money back, then x-plane11 discontinued my product key so i could no longer re-download it. Anyone knows you have to be able to redownload from time to time because there are so many bugs. Awful company, treats their customers like garbage. MS2020 is a lot better program and company.
hı ı m using toga for Boeing 737 800 but how ı wıll use toga for Airbus can you Show me and can you tell what is toga meanıng for Airbus ? I will make a key assignment but what does toga mean for airbus
Thanks for your great videos. Question: have you tried saving a flight in the FF 320 and then loading that situation later so you don’t have to start from scratch? Whenever I do this the flight has lost all Data. Ex: From/To, etc.
I fly out of dfw every three months. Only to fly back two days later. Maybe we'll have lunch together at some point :-) I'll be the plane geek in a faded black wheel chair staring at all the planes!
So, here we are at 2020 and I don't see the follow up videos on this. I clicked your channel and see a number of other playlists, but not this one. Never mind, I found it.
In a real life scenario, would you ask delivery for your clearance before or after programming the flight plan? I normally first get my clearance to avoid having to redo my fpl in case atc changes up my flight plan, but I wanted to ask for your opinion.
Mario Aviation great question, so for us we are typically at the airplane before our clearance is even ready to be received, so to make good use of our time we do program the filed route from our paperwork ahead of receiving clearance, then once the clearance is ready (typically 30 minutes from departure) we receive it via PDC (printout) and compare the routes. If there a changes we make them at that point but more often then not it will be what is filed from the company flight plan
A really great tutorial, learning so much! Do you have a preferred checklist that you use for the A320? There are so many out there, and unsure which one is closest to the real procedures?
Excellent and super informative,! One question...as you can compare realistically the feel of the side stick in real life to a joystick...would you be able to share your joystick sensitivity settings for us and curves as well if you use them? That would be most helpful for us swimmers who will never get to handle the real deal as you do.. Thanks again for your hard work in preparing the videos a✈️✈️🛫🛬
I have the Plane 11.5 loaded on my XForce Comet computer. I downloaded Toliss a321. I can't seem to get the MCDU and most functions on the over head panel. Any ideas on how to fix it?
Excellent video! By the way, how much time would you typically have to conduct the preflight demonstrated in this video? Em Cee Dee Uu more like Mc Duuu haha!
Just a few minutes really, hopefully you show up to the aircraft with enough time to not be rushed...unless its raining really hard then it is a very quick walk-around lol
is the pilot series member only? If so, I'll have to join, i am a systems guy! :) Also, have you ever done any reviews on the fslabs sim for p3d? I'm curious how they compare, especially to the flight factor?
Really enjoying the videos! I noticed during your takeoff roll, the control position is neutral (the little white crosshairs that are on the PFD, which go away as soon as WOW is in "Air")... my understanding is that standard Airbus SOP indicates to hold it ~50% nose down and then slowly return to neutral as you approach 70-80 kts? (Obviously crosswinds would be different...)
How times have changed... I remember watching this video about a year and a half ago. You went from only a few hundred subscribers to 14,000 subscribers now. Congrats on your progress!
Can anyone help please...I loaded my A320 and it only has green squares where the instruments should be and only half the aircraft has livery? I contacted the makers and they were of little help, pointing me to the shop (xplane11.org) who pointed me back to the makers! Cost a packet and cannot fly it. Much appreciated. Graham A
I just bought it today and encountered the same problem. What you need to do is find the CEF folder in plugins from the a320 folder, copy it, and then paste it into your xplane plugins folder. If that doesn’t work or is a little confusing just search it up, thats how I found out. Hope this helps
Look for your CEF folder. It likely got put in the Airbus 320 > Resources > plug-ins. Move it into X-Plane 11 > Resources > Plug-ins. I had the same problem and this fixes it.
Weird question, but would you be able to provide a copy of the checklist you're using either via a link on here or on the XP11 site? The FFA320 checklist is good but not very comprehensive. Also try setting your AI aircraft to 0 in order to get rid of some of those stutters.
Thank you for this very complete demonstration of the procedures, very helpful for the flight simmers and people who are just interested what goes on up there. I just noticed no engine fire alarm test before engine start, is that not necessary?
Amazing video and very very helpful. I have seen other videos about flying FFA320 but no one gives the explanations that you do. I am excited to be part of your channel & why I signed up for Commercial Pilot Status in your membership page. Looking forward to learning a great deal in the future Thank you
nice video, just one question, i saw in F-PLN page that every fix (on the far right, just above altitude) an abbreviation, TF VI etc, in blue color. what does they mean? can't find nowhere sufficient info. second thing: as far i know (reading in forum) vr and v2 speed are so low because they are calculated for TOGA power and not for dialed FLEX. so they are good for TOGA but unrealistic for desired flex. keep doing such good video mr pilot
Here is one with the CFM engines. If you want the IAE engine one have a look in the pinned messages of the Livery section in our discord. forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/56347-ffa320-us-airways-n122us/
I've watched numerous tutorials by real world Airbus pilots on cold and dark starts and this is by far the best, most thorough, concise tutorial on You Tube for the Airbus. I made sure to subscribe immediately. Thank you!
Great video, thank you. I have never selected a transition in a SID or STAR and not sure I understand what effect this has. I also enter the trim value with the flap setting on the perf page of the MCDU which you didn't seem to bother with. Looking forward to the next instalment. Keen to understand the various indication symbols on the PFD during decent.
SIDs sometimes branch out, so after the main part, there are multiple routes that come out and lead to other waypoints. These secondary "branches" are transitions. STARs have the same, but opposite. The transition/branch leads from an en route waypoint to the main route of the STAR
Think of it like highways and side streets, the Arrival or Departure are the "side streets" the enroute airways are the "highways" and the transitions are the on and off "ramps" connecting the two. As far as the THS setting in the MCDU it does nothing for this aircraft, the THS can only be set after engine start anyway. Its our procedure to set the trim as part of the after start flow and checklist. We verify it several times with checklist before takeoff. Some airline procedures may use this box as a "reminder" setting but not what I am familiar with. Hope this helps!
Thanks very much for the replies. Understand the transition concept and have started checking during planning. Also thanks for the THS answer, the Jar A330 uses the setting to automatically set the trim wheel whereas the FF and ToLiss do not. I had guessed the Jar operation was BS but assumed the MCDU entry did more than act as reminder. thanks for the clarification and appreciate your time in replying.
