I am a real world Airbus pilot with thousands of hours flying the real aircraft and thought it would be fun to have a look at the detailed simulations of the 'bus in MSFS and X Plane 11. Hopefully you find this useful and it brings another perspective to your simulation. Any thoughts or comments are welcome!

It cannot be understated how amazing these videos are
it cannot be overstated
Best FS channel by far ! Bravo.
There is a procedure to deploy SLATS only on the ground should you need too. OAT >30° where spurious WING LEAK ECAM cautions can pop up.
1. Ensure the wing area is clear.
2. Set the BLUE PUMP OVRD to ON (Overhead Maintenance Panel).
3. Select FLAPS 1 (only Slats extends).
4. When Slats extended - set the BLUE PUMP OVRD to OFF.
5. Select the Flaps Lever UP - this prevents inadvertent Flaps extension if HYD power is applied before Slats have been retracted.
This is in our OMB but maybe in your FCOM. 👍
@Maks Terentev BLUE system powers Slats. GREEN system powers Slats and flaps and YELLOW system powers Flaps. You don’t want or need flaps out because the plumbing for the anti ice system is through the slats. So this is where the spurious wing leak caution can come from. So, all you need to do is deploy the slats to help prevent the spurious caution. To deploy slats only on the ground, you need to energise the blue system using the override Blue elec pump found on the maintenance overhead panel (behind the overhead CB panel). This will allow you to deploy slats only when moving the flaps lever to 1 on the ground.
As a side note, the BLEED WING LEAK is a NO DISPATCH item so you don’t really want to get it on the ground. But, if you suspect it’s because of the hot weather, deploying the slats might clear it and you might be good to go. But a call to MOC would probably be prudent if it did come up. Best thing is to deploy the slats to mitigate it happening in the first place. Normally SOPs suggested doing this when it was over 30° OAT. And it used to say just leave flap 1 out in the taxi in. But, as 320 sim pilot says, the refueller might not be happy with this.
In our SOPs there’s now no mention of the OAT so it’s now just down to experience and in-depth knowledge of the SOPs. Especially this one.
@Maks Terentev Smart Cockpit probably still has a lot of files (FCOM) etc. Not sure how up to date they’ll be though.
That was fascinating, thank you for sharing some of your knowledge. The video also highlighted how good the Fenix A320 is and those exterior shots were so close to real life video.
Thanks Paul! Indeed it is a fantastic model and it is a lot of fun to film in the simulator!
I always learn something new about A320. Clear explanations that make me keep coming back to flying the fenix.
Remember getting on aircraft in vietnam and was surprised how foggy it was in the cabin. It was obvious it was to do with aircon and the weather but good to know more information. Keep em coming great Video as always.
I'm yet to come across a channel that's been less affected by the removal of the dislike counter :) Great video, thanks
Thank you for your kind words!
Super interesting video Captain. I remember years ago flying in a B717 island hopping in Hawaii when i got on the place there were curtains of mist flowing down on both sides of the place. It can get very warm and humid there. Learned many new things on this video.
So informative, and unique. Thanks a lot
Glad you liked it Chris!
The Fenix is insane
I'll never take my flight from Majorca back to the UK for granted again! 😀Great video as always. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Great stuff! Thx
Very interesting, thanks, Fascinating detail which I didnt know before. But what really hit me was how brilliant the overal standard of Flight Simulation is at the moment. The Fenix is excellent and full of details - but the scenery in MSFS itself is so realistic. The external shots at the end could easily have been real footage.
As usual very informative
Thanks!
I love seeing the cold ac clouds tumbling into the cabin from the overhead bins down route
i just lmfao'd all over myself. thanks.
Entered a 320 with a lot of condensation from the airflow once - lots of people thought the cabin was filling with smoke! I always assumed it was something to do with sanitising the cabin - good to know the reality. Thanks for another great video
Thanks for watching!
oh you meant screaming of the packs, not the pax :) nice video, flying around in australia in the Fenix so could use some of these tips
Another interesting and well-presented production, thanks! 🙂
As ever you are very welcome Haden!
Very informative videos, as always!
Glad you like them Marcelo!
Another brilliant video - great level of detail and excellent presentation as always ! There’s so much fascinating insight. I will now be able to tell my wife the answer to the mystery flap extension on the ground at Verona when we visited - I do accept that she may not be quite so interested to understand as I will be to tell her :)
That is the magic of a flight sim TH-cam people, I finally have people who are interested in the Airbus to talk about it with for hours! Thanks for watching as always 4prawns, appreciate it.
Worked on bleed air systems for 8 years, it depends on what stage you're pulling air from (most jet engines have a low stage, for idle engine operations, and high stage for any above idle operations of your bleed air systems... the trigger is how much psi youre pulling generally once your lowstage pushes out 50+ psi itll move over to the high stave valve trying to maintain a 40 +/- 5 psi so you dont blow a duct.) low stage can be anywhere from 300-350 degrees farenheit and high stage is anywhere from 400-500 degrees farenheit.
A really great and interesting video. Thanks so much for your great easy to understand explanations. I thought of a great question to ask you while watching the video but forgot what it was at the end🤔🤔 it called getting old😂
Thanks Christopher, glad you enjoyed it! I'm sure it will come back to you on a future stream, I regularly get sidetracked until I forgot the question during streams!
Thank you so much for all of the incredibly informative videos you make! You are without doubt the best sim pilot to learn to fly from! Legend
You are incredibly kind, thank you so much for the tip and kind words James. More videos to come!
What replay mod do you use, by the way great video like always
❤❤❤ You are the best
Thank you!
Please make more videos like these for Fenix.
New one coming very soon on AutoLands!
Can you make a video that focuses on handling cold weather also? I have this problem with autopilot during decent and approach that it switches off itself and speedometer also goes crazy sometimes.
And this happens when weather is really bad, like winter storm.
And when I switch weather to clear skies and try again everything works... De-icing is on.
Great video. I understand why to keep the flaps into 1+F position to avoid the air leak alarm but if you have to retract them to allow refueling, what do you gain ? You will again have prone to get that spurious alarm.
Hey is there any chance of more A32NX videos, I'm sure there's been a lot of additions since you last made a video on it. Also I don't want to pay £50 for the FENIX just yet. Thank you for all the work on the channel.
Can you make a video where you do a shared cockpit flight in the A320 with one of your colleagues?
Thank you for the video! I always wonder why they leave flap 1 after landing sometimes and for the first time that I noticed that I thought the pilot forgot the flap😂😂 Then I saw it more and more that I think it must be a procedure to reduce wear on flap because they were going to use flap 1 on the next take off anyway so why retract it and extend it again. But that’s not the reason why they put flap to 1 on ground after landing and i’m wrong🤣🤣
You are welcome, thanks for watching and your comment! I see your logic and it would be a good idea but I suspect damage to the flaps/slats would be a higher risk :)
27:16 you can hear the California Love
Very informative, I'll put that to use. Thank youuuu.
Now waiting for cold weather ops ;)
Thanks Jeffrey! Low visibility ops coming soon!
can you make a video of the differences between Flybywire and fenix and which you prefer?
Can you do an APU bleed packs off T/O in hot weather?
Good video. But no one talks ever about how if you sit there for long enough in hot qeather the engines won't start and all kinda of warnings come up on the ecam. Like oil twnp and what not. Had to set temp in aim to -15 for like to mins just to start the engines
Temp in sim to -15 for like 10 mins*
Thanks Lucas! Interesting, I have not seen that yet but will keep an eye out.
my eng temps stay at ambient regardless of 'hot weather.' the engine temp doesn't increase without running? unless you're talking about the APU overheating, although..that is non-normal.
The a320 neo has sharklets which look different than the Fenix upper and lower winglets. Is the fenix a neo or am i missing something. Thanks
Couldn't help spotting a spelling mistake in the name of the airport on the terminal. It says San Francesco s'Assisi instead of d'Assisi ☺
Good spot Matteo!
Well spotted! My mind was just reading it as 'San Francisco' either way!
👌👌👌👏👏👏
How are you able to exit and walk around the aircraft?
I used the 'drone' camera mode.
I do understand why, but its a real shame the FBY model has been dumped altogether buy u real world flyguys. you may have forgotten that without it [unless flying GA] the sim was useless.
It’s understandable that the irl pilots prefer the Fenix, but plenty of streamers are going back and forth. The fbw will catch up systems wise at some point and then the usage will pick up.
The Captain was involved with the production of the Fenix, though in a limited way. As such, he has some 'skin in the game' and I think wanting to showcase the Fenix is understandable. However, you make a good point about that brilliant piece of work, namely the FBW Airbus and the need to keep giving it the exposure it deserves.
Would love to see an equivalent video for the cold - like -20 or -30 C weather
