MSFS 2020 | How to Use a Takeoff Performance Calculator - Get Flex TO Temp [Tutorials]

Wondered how to get that Flex To Temp value in the MCDU on the A320neo in Microsoft Flight Simulator? Well, using one method - I'll show you how!
As we'll explain in the video - it largely is based on the older A320-200 and not the Neo so the weight/balance tab is likely not useful at all to us in MSFS 2020 - but - the Flex To Temp should be ok for us to use, and the tool allows us to plan for intersection departures too which come in handy during busy airport events on the VATSIM network!

Want to use the free-to-use Performance Calculator I used in the tutorial? it doesn't exist anymore sadly but you can find an alternative one here -
perfcalc.pradz.de/ or search for VAS Airplane Toolbox for an even better free one

Great tutorial as ever! I’ve tried to use this tool for a while, but never fully understood it. Now I do!

@BritishAvgeek 3 года назад

Awesome thanks! Glad it's helpful to you 👍

@ian85uk88 3 года назад

Thank you very much! It now all makes sense finally!

@BritishAvgeek 3 года назад

Always a pleasure! Thanks for waiting a whole week for it to be released 🤣

A bit technical and complicated for a newbie as myself (on airliners) but I'm sure it's all useful stuff :)

@reece650 3 года назад

That was really helpful

@BritishAvgeek 3 года назад

Good to hear! 👍 For a MORE accurate Flex To Temp using that website, select the A319 option too - the Leap1A in the a320neo makes it perform more like an A319

Great video, clear and simple to understand. Wabpro is no longer available, any idea how or where I can get the perf calculator? thanks

@BritishAvgeek 3 года назад

Hi, sadly it's the case and noone has anyone anything similar as it requires a lot of specific data that isn't really publicly available

@Eastbirds_Lee 3 года назад

Another wonderful video! How do you know when to use Flaps 2 or 3? I did a takeoff from Gibraltar and if i remember correxcty i saw somewhere flap 3 settings for the particular takeoff. How do you know in advance. Is there a chart we can apply?

@BritishAvgeek 3 года назад

You look at the runway length and depending on performance of the aircraft, weight etc you'd select flaps 2 or 3 accordingly

@MrEgegaard 3 года назад

Hi i have seen that you can enter hold, can you make a toturial on this? I have tried it but it seems to just exit it at random and pick it’s own bearing

@BritishAvgeek 3 года назад

Hi, it is working on the Working Title CJ4 but not *yet* in the A32NX... When it is working properly I'll run a tutorial on it sure!

@rachedboudhraa8166 2 года назад

Hi good video but a question please the FOB is 5K kg you put 3.4 KBS lbs but in the speed calculator application you put the fuel in LBS instead KGS i'm a bit confused

@BritishAvgeek 2 года назад

back then the FBW had value splits and other things we had to work around - not so much a problem any more though

@vittorioquattrone3526 2 года назад

Can explain if there is a difference between v1 and the military refusal speed ? Or are they the same ? Do the margin of safety can impact a longer or shorter refusal speed versus V1?

@BritishAvgeek 2 года назад

not quite sure what the military refusal speed is... V1 is the speed at which you're basically committed to taking off if something happened, so if the engine failed just after V1, you need to takeoff and deal with it - if that's the same?

@vittorioquattrone3526 2 года назад

@@BritishAvgeek I was referring to the military v1 speed or equivalent

Thanks a lot bit in my sim fuel is in pounds not kilograms, do you know how to change fuel to KG in msfs2020?

@Puretajugon 3 года назад

Sorry i didnt remenber in metrics to select units in metric system.

@BritishAvgeek 3 года назад

That's the one inside settings just change it across to lbs or kg as required 👍

@eduarddanzinger7928 3 года назад

Thank you for the new tutorial! Does anybody know if entering the Flex TO Temp actually has an effect either in the current FlyByWire mod or the original A320neo in MSFS?

@user-wh1vj8em5o 3 года назад

I don't believe it does at the minute

@BritishAvgeek 3 года назад

As Will said - currently it's a value that'll become active in the future but it's certainly good to get into the habit of using it now routinely. Naturally it'll restrict power in due course

@eduarddanzinger7928 3 года назад

Thank you both for the clarification! That's what I suspected after my recent flights.

@Fubo777 3 года назад

I once flew from EFHK to KJFK (~3600nm) with an a320, arrived with like 500kg/1100lbs of fuel, barely for 15mins of flight(?) after flying for ~8 hours lol.

@rickbriggs8228 3 года назад

Er... isn't the gross weight the total weight of the aircraft, i.e. the zero fuel weight and fuel weight combined?

@BritishAvgeek 3 года назад

the gross weight is yes - the total weight (payload + zfw + fuel)

I found a decent a320 takeoff/landing performance calculator, although it's an Excel file, so it's not quite as easy to use as the one in this video. To find it: Search "a320 takeoff performance calculator" on Google, it's the one on "flightsim (dot) to". (can't post links here). If you don't have Microsoft Excel, you can upload the file on your Google Drive, and open it with Spreadsheets.
