Wow. I've watched dozens of crosswind videos for msfs and all of them tell you what you should do but NONE of them show you how to do it. Almost all of them show the view outside the but not the flightstick and instruments. This video made me buy the Fenix A320. Thank you so much.
Thanks Blackbox771 , love your videos ! You have helped me so much over the years. Keep up the amazing high quality content. That was a fantastic video.
... Wow ... this is the second video of yours that I've seen (just found your channel today) and I am PUMPED UP that you are creating this content. This is what TH-cam was made for. Very cool. Thank you.
@@Blackbox711 Sure. I'm using TCS side-stick on Fenix. There's been an issue with Fenix landings for a while now and I'm still not convinced it's fixed. I used to get better landings on the 32NX.
When I’m trying to land in crosswind, the aircraft is almost always banking to the side so that when i touch down with both wheels. One side is going up again while the other wheel is still on the ground. Do you maybe know why? Because of the strong winds?
OK, then it is a little issue with XP12 where the crosswind effect is overdone on ground. Usually the spoiler extension would kill the majority of lift. However in XP12 that effect is still too weak and so you have to add a little aileron into the wind side to maintain wings level.
Thanks, do you think Fenix@MSFS or FF@XP12 handles momentum better when de-crabbing? I find that de-crabbing often causes me to immediately side-drift due of a lack of momentum, and I have to use some wing-low technique.
Hi. I flew Boeing for 16+ years (737 and 747) and then moved to the A320. Initially it took a while to understand the Airbus concept, especially with regards to the flight management/autopilot and Electronic Checklist system. However once that had sunk in, I have to admit that the A320 is a very nice workplace. I thoroughly enjoyed the 12 years flying it.
That's nice. I have one more question though. When you decrab, does the flight by wire automatically compensate the rolling motion side effect of the application of rudder then as well?
Rudder does not control the roll axis of flight. If you’re referring to after landing, you’re in Normal Law “Ground Mode” and control direction(path) of landing rollout.
@@Housemucic The flybywire system is designed to keep the roll rate at zero if the stick is in neutral. So any roll tendency being induced by yaw (secondary effect of the wing moving forward creating more lift and hence roll) should be automatically corrected. However experience shows if the yaw happens very quickly then the flybywire system may be a little slow to react and a roll may happen initially.
I have flown both types for +5000 hrs each. And all I can say is that I can’t say one is harder to land compared to the other. It is different for sure, but more in the sense of technique and not difficulty.
An important Tool not mentioned in this video is Autobrakes. Depending on the crosswind velocity and if Wind Gusts are a factor, I would strongly encourage autobrakes.
i mean lets be serious...if you look at those replays of x plane...especially this runway perspective...you could really be mistaken that this is real footage of an actual airplane...god damit

Hi. Thank you very much for your kind words. I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed the video.

Hey Jeff. Thank you very much for taking the time to give me the wonderful feedback. It means a lot to me 👍🏼

Thank you very much 👍🏼
Thank you captain for your informative video. and as always great video
Thank you very much 👍🏼
Great video. Just one question at 7:14 if ATC asks for my heading which do I report? The yellow marker or the green diamond treck. Thanks
Hi. Yellow marker heading should be reported
@@Blackbox711 Thanks. Also, on the flare should I hold it or just do a 2 degs pitch up input and back to neutral?
@@birdman4274 it depends on how the aircraft behaves with stick up inputs. You need to practice and get a feel for that. No 2 landings are the same.
@@Blackbox711 Sure. I'm using TCS side-stick on Fenix. There's been an issue with Fenix landings for a while now and I'm still not convinced it's fixed. I used to get better landings on the 32NX.
*takes all the notes and still fails badly* - Thanks for all the teachings BB ❤
Thank you. Keep practicing 👍🏼
I love your NADP program!
Thank you James

Hi. Which simulator and what aircraft?
@@Blackbox711 toliss 320n xp12

@@Blackbox711 is that the same with a320NX (Fly By Wire's) on MSFS ? because i think I have the same kind of problem. When I touch down the plan bank
Thanks, do you think Fenix@MSFS or FF@XP12 handles momentum better when de-crabbing? I find that de-crabbing often causes me to immediately side-drift due of a lack of momentum, and I have to use some wing-low technique.
MSFS 2020 is still a very basic flight simulator when it comes to inertia and aerodynamic simulation. So XP11/12 is definitely better in that regard.
Hello, I’m an old Boeing pilot thinking about changing to the Airbus. How difficult did you find the transition? Great video, thank you!

Thank you!!! Love these videos
Thank you very much
Thank you for the great content!
Thank you very much
After touchdown you dont use aileron on the Airbus as well?
No, that is not necessary.

There is yaw to roll coupling in the sim tho.
Thanks, great tutorial😊
Happy to hear that you like it
Would crosswind landings be slightly harder on the 737 due to less automation?I would think they would be in real life.
I wouldn’t say harder, more a matter of proper training. Both philosophies have their pros and cons.
Ok,that’s politically correct but not much help.😀

Correct. I didn‘t mention that since use of autobrake is always recommended.
@@Blackbox711 Do you have a current/up to date Airbus FCTM? My Company doesn’t use one and I haven’t seen one in many years(decades).
@@se2103 I do but can’t share it.
@@Blackbox711 If by chance😉 you find a link to one, or a friend has one laying around, please do share. Danke, Steven
BB, what sim is this please?
That was Toliss in XP11
Thank you :-)
Danke auch 👍🏼
