Thanks for the detailed explanation. I hope that the series will continue by including all the details and all the stages. I am uploading the plan I have prepared via sim brief by selecting it from the acars tab in FMC. But it was very useful in this narrative. Thanks again.
Well demonstrated and easy to understand tutorial well impressed thanks alot as I have been struggling to input a route that the AP will follow I will set this up properly this weekend and test it thanks for your video keep it up :)
@@A330Driver Good luck with your own training and check ride for the A320. I've been trying to learn DIFSRIP, although pilots disagree on the best MCDU workflow!
Hi captain, thank’s again for everything you share, what is this app with simbrief etc etc? I’m sorry I can’t find the name even when zooming, have a nice day
Hi! After the last update the INIT B page now asks for the ZFWCG, which we don’t have atm in the EFB, only way is to set the fuel at 0 to get it. Devs said they were planning to add the ZFWCG value in the EFB
As far as I'm aware the CG they show in the EFB is the ZFWCG, they just didn't rename it. At least that's how I understood their posts in their discord.
@@A330Driver I tried to give you an answer but my messages don’t seem to appear. The CG value changes when you add fuel. They said on their discord that it was indeed the GWCG and that you need to don’t load fuel to get the ZFWCG, they also said they were going to add the ZFWCG value in the EFB. Cheers
Well done very nice informative, my question why I can not go to next page of INIT it’s day not allowed? Anything I missing , I followed complete ur direction just got stuck on INIT can not go to next page says not allowed! Thanks
Good day, Thanks for these fantastic videos! Do you know if there is currently a bug in the A310 ? The cabin pressure has been very high lately. I didn't have this problem before and the APU bleed is off and I can't find what the problem is. I can't fix the problem manually either. I took pictures of it but I can't add them here. Guten Tag, Danke für diese fantastischen Videos! Wissen Sie, ob es derzeit einen Fehler im A310 gibt? Der Kabinendruck war in letzter Zeit sehr hoch/abweichend. Ich hatte dieses Problem vorher nicht und die APU-Entlüftung ist ausgeschaltet und ich kann nicht finden, was das Problem ist. Ich kann das Problem auch nicht manuell beheben. Ich habe Bilder davon gemacht, aber ich kann sie hier nicht hinzufügen.
Thank you 😊but i have a question : how can i put in another destination e.g the alternate ? I think it should work under „EDDM/ new rte. But ist doesnt work at me.
@@A330Driver Wow... simple solution...I wanted a quickstart with the A310 ready for taxi and a quick FMS setup, makes sense. Thank you very much! Love this old lady
Nice tutorial, thank you! What should be in the "CO RTE" field of init A page? It looks like a mandatory field for me because of the squares instead of dashes, but we left it empty..
The company route - if we have one. It's strange that it keeps showing boxes after we put the citypair in, it certainly is not mandatory to enter a company route. Misleading indication indeed.
Thanks for the video, awesome work. Is there anyway to create your own fixes, or extended centreline with 10 miles or 20 miles extension? On the CRJ, we could also program in green fixes/circles, with a radius of your choosing, for example a 5 nm green ring, is this a possibility with the A310? Also, the "banana" (properly called selected altitude intercept arc) on the navigation display, which displays your predicted height, from the FCU, or more precisely, where along the aircraft’s lateral track the selected altitude will be reached. Is this magic banana available here or is it wishful thinking?
Hi Ali, I believe it is possible, but I've seen issues with it. When I tried to create a PB way point it just showed up anywhere, but not where it was supposed to be. I could not find any FIX page so it's probably not possible to create the rings. The banana is available on the 310 as well, yes.
We're talking about a 1970s airliner here, there was no datalink back then! Even though it is possible to import some simbrief stuff. But let's keep it realistic for the tutorials, shall we? I might do one on how to do it with simbrief lateron. That'll be cheating though ;)
@@A330Driver Yeah but she is still flying nowadays :D so let's presume datalink function is retrofitted 😅😅 Actually i have question about some issue with datalink - dont know if it is simulated properly but .. if i do uplink , i cant edit crz temp and tropo value .. it yells at me INVALID ENTRY :D so for example - it writes something like -52/36xxx and my OFP has -41/31xxx , and there is no way how to edit ..or am i just noob and pressing something wrong ? :D in Fenix it works :D
Didn't understand any shit, trying to use the fmc in the a310 but doesn't work, I know I am doing something wrong, but im tired to try fly this airplane, i'm going back to default a320 anyway, Good video.
How doesn't work ? :D if you do step by step from this tutorial , or any other it should work flawlessly . Definitely you are doing something wrong , but like on every single plane - there is a learning curve :) i am sure you will be able to perfect it . And dont fly default A320 , it wont teach you anything - at least fly FBW A320 NEO mod , its free too .
I have a problem with the navigational data starting from 3:15 The route in SimToolkitPro has routing points in it that are not in the FMC. For example I tried a route EDDN to EDDV and for the sake of realism I subscribed to Navigraph and also updated all my libraries, data, plugins, whatever. The Navdata Center application says AIRAC 2213 rev.2 is installed for MSFS and SimToolkitPro also got the update via FMS Data Manager. So naturally I should be all set up, right? Before the flight, during the planning phase within MSFS, it shows me all the imported approaches, departures, waypoints and so on. So that looks fine. But then when I'm ingame and try to enter let's say airway M726 to LASTO the screen of the FMC just refreshes but doesn't actually do anything. It doesn't apply what I entered to the flight plan. How can I solve that problem?
Hi Kla, I've seen some occasions when there was only a single waypoint on the airway segment (so for example when there is no additional waypoints between your FROM waypoint and LASTO on M726), in which the A310 failed to load them correctly. In that case I just entered them as a direct. If that's not the issue I'd recommend to reach out to inibuilds to get some help with this issue. I'm sure they'll be able to help you better than I or anyone else on youtube could. Cheers!
thank you, very helpful! I am missing on what to chose when asking for taxi from ATC? remain in pattern / east/ west? I mean based on my flight plan what is right to chose?
@@A330Driver usually I start at the gate(XBOX if that matters) , setting the flight plan and then contacting ATC to request taxi clearance. with taxi clearece menu I get few options such as: depart west, depart east, depart using IFR, depraty straight away. so usually I chose depart using IFR but I don't understand the logic behind. hope I was clearer , I can take a screenshot also. THANK YOU , my MSFS experience much better and entertaining since I found your channel.
It only takes about a minute to insert a flightplan once you invested perhaps half an hour to learn how to do it. I can *really* recommend making yourself familiar with basic FMS usage, you will gain so much from it in your flight sim experience.
Are your engines running? If the A310 is anyway like the A320 then you can not access the INIT B page with the engines running. In the 320 you'd use the FUEL PRED page as a substitude, not sure about the 310.
Hey do you think instead of selecting a310 for sim brief, I can select the a300? I ask so I can get an actual cos index but idk how accurate that would be. If I can’t do that, how do you roughly calculate cos index
@@A330Driver ah that makes sense. Thanks for your videos, learn a lot from them. Will you make a new video about descending after now the 310 is patched?
When a German pilot is talking you absolutely know 1000% he knows his stuff
Another awesome tutorial! I've really grown to enjoy all of your videos and this is no exception! Looking forward to more tutorials
Glad you like them!

Could you make video about your Throttle
Thrustmaster, HOTAS Warthog setup?
Hi, I did one on sensitivity settings already, would you want one about which buttons I assigned as well?
@@A330Driver Yes, please, thanx a lot!
very good
Love the detail. Thank you!
Glad you like it!
For some reason the OFP on Simtoolkitpro isn't showing. Do I need a Navigraph subscription for it to work?
Nice tutorial good job buddy 👍🏻
All of your videos are excellent.
Any plans for A320 tutorials?
It's a popular plane, free with MSFS and the FBW A32NX is very comprehensive.
Yes, once I am flying the Airbus I will do A320 tutorials as well. Towards Autumn or early winter I guess.
@@A330Driver Good luck with your own training and check ride for the A320.

How does your sim toolkit pro remain on the screen without minimizing when you enter stuff into the FMC?

Your engines are running. Shut them down.
I always get stuck at the waypoints (3:04) everytime I put in the airway I can’t interact with anything and the fms basically freezes
