Ive learned so much from your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge to help improve our sim experience. I have your videos saved in order of flight progression. Cold/dark, MCDU, Taxi, Takeoff, Climb etc etc. Has been very useful
I love flying VFR with GAs. I’d like to fly airliners but the learning curve is very steep. Thanks for sharing your A320 knowledge with newbies like me and your stellar aviation pro tips. Great video content.keep it up. Greetings from NZWN Wellington, New Zealand
Recently started with the Fenix A320; It did seem daunting at first but you quickly get the hang of it. Just an extra bit of studying and your tutorials come in very handy. Thank you
I love the way you present your Tutorials simple and easy to understand!! I declare an interest in the FENIX Airbus hence I am watching your videos on it. I will definitely buy the Fenix, but for me I am still trying to recoup my investment in the BAE 146 by learning top fly it. I have discovered it is well ahead of me and I have shredded the fuselage several times by not managing the IAS efficiently. Before I leap in and join the PMDG and FENIX enthusiasts I want to learn how to fly the BAE as currently it flies me (usually catastrophically!).
I'm gonna come back to this one after I actually get her up in the air once, lol, I'm still up to my eyebrows in LVARs getting all my controls set up, just parked on stand all weekend
Subscribed. Late to the party here but I find your videos really clear and also professional! I fly out of EGVN regularly as a A330-MRTT fan, which uses the FBW A320 avionics system in FS2020. Can I please ask a question? One of the SID patterns at EGVN requires a very steep left hand turn at 800ft (just over 180 degrees) from the runway heading of 73 degrees, to 247 degrees in order to intercept a waypoint for a westerly departure. However, in managed mode and with all data entered correctly in the MCDU, AP attempts the left hand turn, but then bails out and continues flying runway heading. What are your thoughts here?
I have just started using this plane it’s fairly daunting for me I can’t engage the auto pilot or pull any of the knobs at the moment but with some more studying from your vid I think I will get it eventually.
Your videos kind of made me fall in love with Airbus :) Also looking forward for landing tutorial, since I'm having trouble with the flare after FlyByWire a320nx :) Just can't get it right and smooth :/
@@IRBFYou just responded to a 2 year old comment. I believe back then I was refering to the Game section in the description that showed that the game was X-plane
Very useful, akthough this is basic information it provides the foundation for many parts of the flight, and at last I understand what is meant by managed mode and the reason the switches are either pushed or pulled. Thank you.
Love your videos. Learning on the A320 Fenix. What is the constraint when trying to engage managed ALT and it not engaging? AP, AT, flight plan with cruise are active. Could you explain/short video on relationship between AP VNAV flight plan ALT and selected ALT, for climb and descent? ✈️
Superb--I had forgotten most of that. Clear concise and easy to follow thank you! Making my own manual on how to fly the Fenix A320 from your videos! Now descent approach and landing?
1 st Question: suppose I want to climb with no autopilot so move freely pitch and lateraly, but I intend to keep a certain speed, it is the following procedure correct: a/thr on; lever in climb; ap off; pull speed button and insert the speed /mach I desire. Thrust should be in speed mode and thus speed not change according to my pitch. 2nd question: even FD button should be off or it doesn't matter?
I appreciate your videos. I am a life long boeing simmer but I am slowly but steadily learning the airbus. Question about the different climb profiles. I understand and have been using the options on the MCP to change my climb profile by manually adjusting the set speed in an open climb and such. Is there a way to do it in the FMC as there is in the 737? I find the a320 doesnt get up to my cruise altitude as quickly as I'd like.
Fantastic video. Very well presented and a must for those of us that want to feel like a real airbus pilot. After about 3 days of watching video I finally got it in the air for a short ifr flight. My FPS dropped by about 50%. Any suggestions re: setting changes to recover some fps without visuals dropping too much? Many thanks for your efforts.
i’ve been flying the 738 for years so i’m pretty familiar with it. i recently got this to shake things up. these tutorials are amazing as i’m struggling! sometimes when i’m flying i can’t get to nav mode or clear the discontinuities. can anyone help with an explanation. cheers!
Good day, I hope you can help I have the Thrustmeter Capt pack but I can not get the calibration done it will not let me set it from Ideal to CLb for then flex I have tried manually adding the info but still will not work. is there somewhere I can download the setting and load it into the sim?
how when i take off the fenix a320 pulls to either side and i have to control it buy the rudders by hitting L1 and R2 . is there not a auto opition for rudders on take off thanks
hi im having problems with auto pilot after take off when i set auto pilot it engages but after a short time it disengages it has toka lk flashing in the far left display and was wondering if that was causing it to disengage.any help would be appeciated ive had this problem from the start when i bought the fenix.also the plane starts to climb when ap disengages.also when taking off it says man toga .cheers
Thank you for your video. I have a question. For some reason, ATC did not instruct me to climb to the next target altitude, so I ended up using vertical speed all the way to my cruise altitude. The problem I have is that managed altitude doesnt appear to be enabled. In other words, next to the cruise altitude, the little orange dot is not visible. It does not appear regardless of selecting managed mode. If I select a new altitude and press managed altitude, the aircraft does not climb. On the PFD, Mach, alt crz and nav are all lit green, and the aircraft is maintaining its cruise and flying its plan correctly. I messed up somehow. How do I correct this?
Fantastic tutorial, massive thanks for these helpfull video ! Have you done something special to be in NAV mode once in the air ? is it because of this NAV mode that the aircraft is following the flight plan despite AP not activated ?
But he did engage the AP, at 04:16. Before that, NAV mode was engaged and he was flying manually following NAV mode, by complying with what the FD was telling him to do.
I have a problem with the engine start up. So on start up the oil pressure rise then fall causing engine low oil pressure fault. If anyone could help me with that it will be nice.
What reason would there be for AP not engaging at all? flight plan is in, but the button wont light up in green? im sure its me, but what do i need to look for?
I find most of the reason's (unless you have a bug) that autopilot doesn't engage it either errors in the FMC or adverse plane state i.e. overspeed, bank etc, hope you got it sorted now though.
When i get for ex. on altitude konb and try to engage v-nav mode or open climb, there is no arrow for up or down to engage those mods. Everything worked fine till one day my MSFS just forgot all my settings. I dont know what to do. Please help....onyone...
My autopilot doesn't seem to work at all for some reason. I try to push the putton for example in 2000 feet but the light does not turn on and the plane just keeps going forward and not follow the flight plan. Very irritating.
Most of the reason's (unless you have a bug) that autopilot doesn't engage it either errors in the FMC or adverse plane state i.e. overspeed, bank etc.
That is not the way I do it flat out down the runway straight up to 24000 level off then let it go to about 350 knots then climb at 6000 ft per minute then take the nose down till 35000 then stabilise the speed 284 knots land boring
Finally got the hang of this. Was getting frustrated so often until I understood it. In the 737, it’s so straight forward.

I've learned so much about flying the A320 from your videos, thank you very much for your great content! 🙏
Marvellous tutorial. Its helping me out loads. Thanks.
Great guide and tutorial again, helps a lot when you don't have anyone else in your virtual cockpit that knows more than you do! 🤣
this is the one i was needing all weekend! after needing your cold and dark tutorial first lol
Your videos kind of made me fall in love with Airbus :) Also looking forward for landing tutorial, since I'm having trouble with the flare after FlyByWire a320nx :) Just can't get it right and smooth :/
I've been using auto land a lot a) to learn systems before trying manual landings, b) to better learnt 'views' of a correct approach & flare. etc
@@Lone_GamerUK Yeah, autoland is nice, but I really like to land it by myself. Anyway, I got better with it, practice is the key :)
Always a pleasure to see your videos
Great work ! Learned heaps again :)
Really informative and helping, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great detail in this video, so useful.
outstanding turtorial - thanks so much
Yes, I love this Fenix A320 for X-Plane. The X-Plane that was released in 1995 as we can see in the description or whatever it is.
Wait, you can also fly this plane in x-plane?
@@IRBFYou just responded to a 2 year old comment. I believe back then I was refering to the Game section in the description that showed that the game was X-plane
@@VetskuGaming I've just noticed that now lol sorry

Nicely presented and appreciated. Just hopeful that holding and missed approach is on the agenda…?
Good work Captain 👨✈️
Can you make a vid on how to fly discontinuities and vectors on the fenix 320? :)
How to configure controls to have the up and down arrows to manipulate controls in MSFS like you do in the video?
Regards
Really helpful, grateful there's content like this to improve my sim experience. On a side note, any reason why ap turns itself off intermittently?
Great video, is there somewhere where we can see all your sim/graphics settings?

When it says LVR climb, I would move the thrust levers to climb and then i would get a warning about autothrottle?
how when i take off the fenix a320 pulls to either side and i have to control it buy the rudders by hitting L1 and R2 . is there not a auto opition for rudders on take off thanks
Hi! Can you tell me what recording software you using?

But he did engage the AP, at 04:16.
Before that, NAV mode was engaged and he was flying manually following NAV mode, by complying with what the FD was telling him to do.
Very useful! What’s the typical method to bypass a restriction? Is it open climb? If so do you reengage managed when you have bypassed the restriction
but how do i get the thing to automatically climb and descend according to the flight plan?
I have a problem with the engine start up. So on start up the oil pressure rise then fall causing engine low oil pressure fault. If anyone could help me with that it will be nice.

I still dont get why i tend to climb so slowly at times in CLB mode.
Why doesn’t SRS appear for me?
How do you push things in with your mouse? Mine just turns the knob
You have to change the MSFS in settings to be able to correcly push/pull etc, which he explains in the vid just after 8mins etc
How about every ADHD Airbus pilot favorite autopilot button. THE EXPEDITE BUTTON 😂😂😂
Thx :)
Thnx

I'm a real world Hawker Typhoon pilot.
Great Video, but your english accent and how fast you talk give's me always a hard time to understand. Can you talk maybe a little bit slower?
This is the worst airplane ever made nothing ever works it flies in circles deletes and adds randomly I wish I could get my money back
Thank you very much 🙏
