Ah..so great to stumble across this - THIS is a proper tutorial - explaining the why's, the option's, the if's and but's - great content - keep making these videos!
After over 5,000 hours in the Air and mainly flying this Bird! I guess your demonstration is the very best I've seen here on the TH-cam. Thank you so much for showing me what's right what I've been doing it and not the least where you filled up few items to keep in mind what means and how they work
This has been the best video that best explained everything. The fact that I’m in Connecticut also helped with your references. I love this sim and I’m working hard to get better. Thank you again.😊
You are fun to listen to. I hope you continue to make videos for each plane with each difference. Maybe a tutorial on editing and changing flight plans in-flight. Maybe a video highlighting the differences between systems between planes. Maybe even how to use flight charts and approach plates. Thank you for these tutorials, they are a big help
Check the deadzones on your controller or gamepad. They default to 0% in MSFS for some reason. It solved my problem. Its located in sensitivity in the controls options screen.
Realy helpfull, thank you for making these videos it helps the community a lot and love the way you explain things I learn a lot. You andswerd a lot of question I had thanks again :)
This is very good video. I just want to fly with minimum rules. This is the only video showing me what I need. However, it will be much more helpful when you perform something, turn the view to the instrument. Thank you so much.
Well now so much makes sense. I couldn't get the autopilot to work to save my life. I wish they had added the 737 that was my go to plane. I suppose ill adopt this one for now. Thanks!!!
Brilliant video!!! Thank you very much! Best of the best. I will be looking forward for the next so amazing videos from you. You helped me so much. Once more thank you! :-)
What really has me thinking is why the trim keeps making it way to 100% up on its own. I trim it back to neutral and immediate it goes 100% trim up on the neo. Another annoying thing is I adjust the heading just a little and it starts turning fast on its own.
Turn up your anisotropic filtering in your graphics options. It's almost no extra processing but it'll make runways look to much better at shallow angles when you're landing.
I am sure you have much knowledge but you are going 100 mils an hour and moving to fast your mouse cursor all over the screen. Slow down remember this is a tutorial video for us to learn. Thank you for putting this video.
I too think he speaks and move a bit fast - but having seen many so called "tutorials" about this (FMC on A320), he actually does a great job explaining things. I feel that the "general" parts, turning on the apu, turning on the engines, on so on, he does not explain much and does it to fast for it to be a tutorial - but those are not the subject matter, the FMC is.
How do you go about changing the flight plan mid flight? What I mean is let's say you miss the airport and need to land at another. I can not seem to find a way to "enable" or select a specific way point for the AP to follow. I realize from what I can tell the current waypoint it is going to is rather easy but what if I wanted to edit that waypoint or let's say I wanted to go to a different waypoint on the flight plan. Would I use the Direct? Then when it gets there how do I get back on the flight plan? Can you do a video of mid flight alterations to the MCU? Thank you!
I hope you'll do one on the 747 autopilot too! I'm super comfortable flying the Airbus autopilot now after watching this and flying around with it, but the 747 system's speed control and VNAV stuff is a little confusing after being so used to the autopilot on Airbus.
Extremley helpful video. My only question is how do I find details of airport using FMS? In the G1000 I can use the Nearest feature and it tells me the runways and freq.
As always, you're videos are great. I'm hoping you can answer I question I have. When getting approach/runway assignments from the ATC (using automatic assignment), as soon as I enter it into the nav computer the autopilot wants to head back to the previous waypoint first, then onto my first approach point. How do I skip to the correct waypoint, or can I delete the current one? Right now, I simply steer manually until I get close enough for the ILS approach to take over. Thanks in advance.
This is by far the best tutorial I’ve seen. One question, when I enter “selected” air speed for climb/cruise, it does not overwrite the “managed” speed. Also, when you enter the speed it’s green, when I enter the speed it’s white, not green. Any thoughts?
Thanks so much for the great video ! By the way how come you move both throttle with your mouse ? I can only do one, did i missed any particular tips ? :)
When you hit the APPR (approach) mode button, will nothing happen unless it has captured the ILS? And after it captures, does can you overwrite it in any way (for instance, it was ignoring your previously selected altitude you still had enabled and was descending on the ILS capture path)?
Great tutorial, a touch fast but very easy to get going. Can you please tell me how to set / change the Transponder frequency? I can't find the button? Cheers from UK.
You know what some may find funny - or not. I found it easier to set up this system as well as the one in the 747 then the Garmin units (which I'm now getting okay with thanks to your video's - I do need more practice).
seems the select speed in the FMC is not working for me :( not sure why it isn't might be broke now having a tough time getting the aircraft to fly the speed I want it to. Even with setting the button down on speed it still doesn't want to adjust very odd.
Great video ! I just don't understand why the managed altitude doesn't fallow the Flight Plann.. the Heading and Speed works fine, but when I select Altitude to Managed Altitude it just fallows the altitude selector, not the altitude set on flight plann
Great tutorial! Really enjoyed that. But during the video I saw you turn a few notches here and there without explanations. Are they important? I want to follow this tutorial to do a, flight from Melbourne to Sydney. 😊
Absolutely great tutorial. I have one problem and that is getting my A32NX (or default 320neo for that matter) to track the GPS heading. In the AP section I do not see the up and down arrows on either AC. I know this is my problem, but why aren't they showing? I am determined to master this AC, but so new right now. I am used to Boeings!
Hi ... Thanks a lot for the video ... its very usefull ! I have a question about the input of the fuel in the field TRIP/TIME ... is it in KG of Lbs? Thx
Super video. Don't sweat the comments about moving too fast - that's what the video pause button is for. I think I have spent about 3 hours with your video and I'm still learning new things.
Really good video with a good in-depth look in the FMS. I'm trying to learn the FMS in the A320 so i can plan in my own SimBrief plans. I have a question though: When i look in my SimBrief routeplan, i see 2 types of data. Waypoints and Airways. I saw when you entered in the Waypoints in the F-PLN page, you did not enter any Airways, only Waypoints. Does the FMS grab those Airways without entering them in manually on the FMS?
@@Nicholas-ce5tm I figured it out there is an option somewhere in the game. For some reason the function is off by default. When I get home I'll look it up for you.
@@Nicholas-ce5tm Dang man it took me a minute to find that option. They sure do bury it. Okay so navigate to general options/accessibility/user interface/cockpit interaction system (change that to LEGACY). That should get you going!
I have the feeling, that if you enter the flight plan, that the calculated Flighlevels (if it works) and the Top of Descent aren't correct. And I missed the Minimum call-out ;(...
I've been trying to land but I'm struggling a bit at the very end because something is not mentioned, so the question is: When is the right time to cut or lower the throttle? You say on the video: "we are responsible now for the throttle and the brakes" but not sure when and how we go from the previous throttle position "CL" to a different one. Thanks!
I can’t stress enough how much you helped me out with this comment. I’ve watched about a million tutorials and not a single one even MENTIONED NAV mode. Thank you so much
Very helpful. Unfortunately my plane seems to enter a 90 degree left or right turn when I engage autopilot. I can only assume it's a bug as even following your instructions here doesn't make a difference.
@@tuna3875 There are some invisible "detents" that are not visually shown as "pushed in and pulled out" and only shown with the dash-dash-dash-ball indicator
I don't get it, literally the second I hit AP the plane decided to bank hard to the right and just do 360's forever. I followed the guide exactly. What did I do wrong????????
If you're using a Xbox or PS controller, make sure to check your joystick dead zones. I had the same problem and it turned out to be stick drift on my xbox controller. Adjusting the dead zone helped.
@@23100Battlefield Go to options>controls>controller. There is a button in the top left called sensitivity. There you can adjust sliders for the y and x axis of the sticks and for the triggers. The deadzones are default set to 0% meaning there is no buffer before they register input in game. I set my sticks' deadzones to 10% to give a little buffer zone before inputs are registered. That might be too much or not enough depending on how bad the stick drift is in your controller.
I've experienced this kind of strange behaviour too. Banking, never trying to level off, ignoring everything, it seems. Also, sometimes, turning off the AP, I'm all of a sudden unable to stear the plane manually, it just crashes to the ground, ignoring my joystick inputs. I think the A320 FMC is controlled by evil, psychotic AI.....
"If you are sitting there thinking I missed a step or" Im like no, I wouldnt even know... I just push stuff on my gamepad and it still flies lol. But im learning, starting up and flying the propeller planes have gone ok so far.
Autopilot is useless in FS2020. The plane always enters a banking turn and goes into a dive when I turn it on. I know I’m not to blame, despite not being a pilot in real life, because in FSX the autopilot follows my commands to a T. I program the autopilot to climb to 35,000 feet at a climb rate of 1,800 feet per minute at a heading of 065, it does exactly that. FSX = Obedient autopilot FS2020 = Suicidal autopilot
@@kiefergeorge Maybe you've tried this, but in my case, I had to set a higher deadzone (6%) on my aileron axis, in the sensitivity window. AP was trying, but the drift on my yoke was a bit too much for it. You can check to see if the center point is actually in the middle or not in the same place, too.
@@kiefergeorge Hope it helps, good luck! If you haven't, also check out the flybywiresim a32nx mod, it's free and fixes a bunch of issues with the default plane.
Could be speed or something else. I've noticed it wont descend if I'm at a high speed like 300 knots unless I remove speed. Obviously make sure autopilot is on.
That is an excellent question (I think, because I've been asking myself the same thing...). Please answer here if you resolve the answer to it! And, I think you're asking the question "Can the AP control altitude according to flight plan in FMC", right? The AP option of "managed mode" on speed and heading, both removes the manually entered speed and heading, and now the AP will control it according to flight plan. But "managed mode" on altitude does not remove the manually entered altitude...so must be some difference? I have absolutely no idea why it doesn't, or if it cannot. May the reason be that the altitude is an ever changing variable and not really part a full flight plan, because flight control continually makes altitude changes because of other air traffic? Anybody?
I've had better luck flying the Flybywire A32NX-mod (flybywiresim.com/), it seems to be following the altitude as well. However, it's a bit confusing when my flight plan's waypoints have certain altitudes, and ATC just overrides them. Why would ATC tell me to go to, say 7000 feet when I'm a couple of minutes away from reaching the waypoint where I'm supposed to catch the ILS at say 3500 feet? Ignoring ATC seems to do the trick ;)

Was waiting for you to do an airliner before I touched them, now I can jump down this rabbit hole.
You are a legend, a real gem i found on TH-cam. Keep it up

Dude!! You make these tutorials VERY ENJOYABLE!!!! Thank you!!!
Excellent tutorial. You made it look very simple, but I have a lot of practicing to get.
Why the autopilot not always work......i need to turn on -> off -> on....many times to make it really working...............
Thank you that was one of the best Tutorial I’ve seen for a while thank you very much
For some reason whenever I press engage the autopilot on the a320 it goes into a very steep bank and flies in circles until it overstresses
Check the deadzones on your controller or gamepad. They default to 0% in MSFS for some reason. It solved my problem. Its located in sensitivity in the controls options screen.
