it's amazing how easy an airbus is to startup. compared to a boeing.
I like to think of it like windows being boeing and airbus being apple, with the apple you just press some buttons and everything happens in the background, with the boeing/windows you have a lot more input into the system
Now that MSFS2020 is announced, this is gonna come in handy. Thank you!
Same here lol. Getting as much research done
Some notes:
Its recommended to take off with packs off
And also must put tcas on TA/RA mode
.
Best sign for being in center of runway is to put the center line berween your PFD/ND
-
When you are following a SID on nav mode its better to engage AutoPilot after 100 ft
-
Also you must retract flaps after thrust reduction and acceleration of the aircraft
-
Its better to perform a manage decend for approaches to meet the constraints by autmation and nicer approach instead of open descent
-
And Also regarding the fuel saving and passenger comfort its better to perform deceleration approach
-
Its important to engage approach mode it angle less than 90 degree to runway to avoid false indications
-
Its better to start configrate aircraft after passing 2500 ft
Maciek Skórnik it is an approach technique that meant descent with thrust idle from top of descent until 1000 feet
Thanks, you helped a lot
packs will shut off automatically in take off mode
@@marcofilipe100 No they won’t
Best X plane 11 TH-camr Ever
Like as you think 🤔 the same👍
Thanks buddy!
Agreed, very helpful, thanks for that
Yeah very helpful. Check out Jeff Favignano as well he's also a good pilot.
FYI: With better pushback you can initially just "Start Pushback". It will first send you automatically to the "pre-plan pushback" screen and as soon as you are done pre-planning it will send the tow truck. That way you don't have to use the mouse and navigate through the menu twice.
vasily202 Thanks for the tip.
@@Q8Pilot what is the application to see the rote/charts at 4:23 minutes?!
thank god for a video I understand, I have used this video and my flight went as planned. so many thanks for making this video
Brilliant job. Im a new guy to airbus and flight sim and this is brilliant. Well done. This as helped me alot.
Thank you for this great tutorial! A few days ago decided to take the $ 89,00 dollar plunge for this plane to enjoy the most of a thoroughly replicated flightmodel and systems. And € 99,00 to upgrade my memory from 8 Gig to 24 Gig because it just ran out of memory and crashed X-plane ;-). But what a delight to fly this plane. And I don’t regret it a single bit! What a delight to fly this plane.
Good tutorial, but on a takeoff, you should follow flight directors and do not retract flaps until you reach an acceleration altitude. So, you should keep ~V2+20KT with pitch. Pitch from 15 to 20 is common there, even more than 20 with low weight and TOGA.
I mainly fly B737-800 so this helped me a lot! Thank you
nice video, thank you.
the big thing missing in the x-plane environment is really the surrounding traffic you need to look after all the time, all the atc voice fludd, drunken passengers in the cabin and living animals in cargo, the meal ordering while f/a sits on your knee.
nice to see a video with panel view only :)
Absolutely Useful and well Explained!, thanks a lot!
Nice video. In reality, During take off, never not follow SRS. Always maintain the FD and only when in acceleration you retract flaps. Clean up happens after thrust reduction altitude, at acceleration.
We miss you already in creating these tutorial vids- I just crossed over from yoke flying Boeings to Stick and Airbus and your videos are extremely helpful. Flight Sim community and others continue to benefit from your work.
FANTASTIC! The add on is worth it I've logged about 200 hours now on it. Very glad to see a video from you on this. Thank you as always for keeping us going with the content!
Thanks for this, I have been flying the zibo for a while now and am considering trying something new, and the 320 ultimate is an option so this video is most helpful. I will be watching it a few times I think while trying to get the hang of an airbus.
Nice Landing
Thanks buddy!
I think you got VNAV wrong. While I'm not sure about the comparison between the two aircraft systems, I think it would be more accurate to call the Altitude select + Vertical Speed select buttons (or knobs) the VNAV button, beeing the dashed line on the V/S indicator and the round dot next to the Altitude select button the indications that VNAV is active.
Now, I don't have a Boing or Airbus type rating, but if the buttons on the Boing do the same as the theory teaches us (I'm studying for my ATPL) LNAV is your point to point path (no altitudes) and VNAV is your vertical path. VNAV is especially handy for your TOD calculations. If selected the FMC will calculate a TOD that will give you a vertical path where (in perfect conditions) you can descent on idle thrust until either you select the first stage of flaps or select gear down, depends on the FMC, plane, etc. VNAV also will help you comply with any altitude restrictions on the SID, STAR, and approach. This is why I think that the Altitude select + V/S select buttons (or knobs) are a more accurate comparison to the VNAV button on the Boing.
And if you interested in this topic, VNAV and LNAV form part of RNAV, beeing that LNAV gives us 2D RNAV, and LNAV + VNAV gives us 3D RNAV, which is needed for some SIDS or STARS :).
Very nice video! I always enjoy your videos. But you made a little mistake: LNAV from a Boeing aircraft is comparable to NAV on an Airbus aircraft. As well as VNAV is comparable to DES, also called managed descent.
Could you please make a video on how to use trim? not sure
He’s retired 🥺
Fello youtuber and flight enthusiast. Just bought all of this software and love it. Had my ppl at 19 and am now very much older!!! Great videos im learning alot from your tutorials. Great channel.
Thanks Max, glad you find the channel useful. Happy flying!
Incredibly helpful tutorial. I created a checklist as I watched. Thanks so much!
Roger Paradise can u share it pls
Thanks, great video - I will soon be jumping into an airbus in XP11. The only jet airliners I've flown are the SSG EJets and the Zibo 737 so it's nice to see the differences. I'm looking forward to it a bit more now :)
You'll love the FBW
You missed a lot of other checks after the iPad you forgot to check that the thrust levers were at idle the engine mode selectors were off the parking break was set then you go up to the battery then you check the apu for a apu fire and test it then you go over start the apu master and start the apu check that the crew supply light is off check the data recorders and flight data recorders check the emergency powers the evac and make sure that the flight data computers are off then select the adirs in the correct position so on and so fourth.
You also forgot to select the lights the bright dome the panel lights so on so fourth
My gen 1 and 2 do not say fault when I turn on the battery’s 1 and 2 but amazing video my a320 does not work please respond I really want to fly the airbus a320
Nerd comment: when switching on the ADIRU with the OFF->NAV->ATT switch, the IR switch (above the rotary switch) shows ALIGN in white. In the real aircraft this is not the case, instead this switch only has a OFF (in white) and FAULT (in amber) indication. The ALIGN indication was removed when the new ADIRS panels were rolled out to the A320, this A320 has this new panel.
oh my dayssssssssssssss i've been waiting for a tutorial and couldnt have hoped for a better youtuber brah
Thanks buddy!
Good for people who can already fly airliners. Most acronyms I didn't know. Many buttons I've never heard of. I guess if I just pressed the same buttons that you pressed, I'd end up flying the aircraft but no way would I know what I'm doing or why. I'd also only be able to do it between the airports that you flew. Pretty typical of most youtuber clips. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the effort but I just wish someone would help bridge the gap from GA flying to airliner flying. As in, "this is an APU and that stands for ..... and it does ..... "; "now we don't need to adjust the throttle because ....."; "speed breaks are....."; "the MCP is ......."; etc... You get the idea I hope.
This video help me a bit. Thank you
Glad this was useful for you.
Excellent video, clearly spoken. Just one minor suggestion. Don't use anachronisms in these type of videos. Assume your viewers like me, are deficient.
The flaps must not be retracted in SRS mode. If you want retract flaps you must change mode - open climb, climb or vertical speed.
Thanks for the great video Q8! I just flew this route with the 737 Zibo yesterday. I did a live stream and my landing was trash :( Anyway, great job! I'm definitely going have to get this bird. It's an essential plane for x-plane 11.
I have had my share of bad landings and a fair amount of people berating me for those terrible ones =) Keep doing it, you will get the hand of it eventually.
Thank you fof your tutorial now i can pilot an airbus a320
This is amazing so helpful!!!
Which Joystick do you use
I use the Yoko by virtual fly.
Hi. Love the videos! One or two things though. AutoPilot was on before you throttled back to CL. The trim setting is shown on the PERF DATA page of the iPad.
Great and instructive video.
Well done!
Thanks a million my friend, glad you enjoyed the video.
Pilots say: "Manual Flex, SRS and Runway!", or "Manual TOGA, SRS and Runway!" when full take off power is used. And "Runway" does not happen at all times.
great video Q8pilot
Thanks buddy!
Not bad, could use some more background. But good for quick and dirty runs. Btw vapp is not same as F speed. Nice landing
i mostly like the other intro of your videos!!!I like it more
I really wish I had frame rates like yours. I run the sim at 20 fps with the a320 into KSFO and my settings are medium at 1080p. Specs are i5-7500, 1060 6GB and 16GB RAM. I wish it was better...
Hi, not sure if this will help but I had something similar. I was told that I had the HDMI cable from the monitor plugged into the computer and not the graphics card. When I found the graphics card HDMI port the frame rate shot up!
@@pops2728 Thanks for the suggestion but my monitor(s) are plugged directly into my graphics card....
@@bootleg0012 Speaking of this comment I just built a new PC and X-PLANE will run very smooth I'm sure :)
@@DustinJones511 hi sorry I was reading through comments and saw this how is your PC doing now?
Great video, but how are you managing to get so much FPS during landing?? I have great specs (even though my name) and i get around 15fps during landing. i dont understand, i just upgraded my gpu too. have no idea
This plane for me is very CPU intensive. Like 100% always maxed out on 4790k with usually only like 15% of GPU being used on a GTX1080. I have 32GB of DDR1600. Biggest thing I found that really helped my fps to bring it up from 15-20 to 40-60 was disable rain in the EFB and disable reflections. The reflections made a big difference. Hope this helps.
How you can turn things, using switches, making changes, like thrust lever, etc., without looking there, or using the mouse? (Btw., I´m an absolute beginner ;-) )
Great Video. As usual. Thank you.
Thank you for your usual encouragement and support Chris.
Keep on Keeping on! Enjoy your videos emmensley!
Thanks a million!
We will miss you :.(
Amazing aircraft... Do you suggest me to buy it? Thank you so much... I have another question: Is this compatible with xplane 11.52 or only 11.34-15 such the A320 JARDesign? Thanks! Also I would like to know if is available with iMac... 😅😅😅😅😅
How do you get that "ipad"?
Come automatically with Flight Factor airbus a320. You can search it if you need any more help on understanding or anything needed. Stay safe, enjoy your day/night.
Brilliant tutorial. Just what I was looking for having just purchased the Flight Factor A320 Ultimate. This cleared up the position of the thrust lever for me. I always thought that you should use toga on take off. Not sure where the centre of gravity chart came from and flex temp calculation. Thanks a lot for the help.
Great tutorial. I have a couple questions. What is the dot next to the alt on the mcp? What does it mean? Also when would you use the loc button?
I used to fly with FSX for years with the aerosoft airbusX but have been contemplating investing in X plane 11 and the flight factor a320.. a question I had is that do the airports that come with x plane 11 and the weather (clouds/rain/etc) look like how they do in your video or are they third party add ons? a reply is a greatly appreciated! loved this video!!
The whole world is in X-plane and the weather is default except for the clouds which has a changed texture
Did you switch? When I switched from fsx to xplane 11 I was very happy. Fsx is utter junk now.
where do u get the result of 68 flex temp number from?
altavaer he use a random number typically. Around 50-70. Also watch captain joes video
@@yaishmatheen4274 I did watch it before asking
Where did you get the chart of CG values? I can't find it anywhere.
Great Video but how can you save a flight plane in A320 so you don't have to do a manual input just load it .
I always wondered is it worth buying this aircraft when it's more expensive than the game itself..
It's worth it in my view.
I Love airbus but in flightsim i mostly fly boeings. the zibo 737 and ff 767. Could you tell me why you increase the throttle to the flex position and not the toga position during take off? Or is toga only for emergencies?
Great video. I just purchased the plane today. Unfortunately, the touch points on the instruments and everything else are not right on the selected controls. It looks so simple on your video. I cant even get FMC to work. And i cant find out how to pop out sections of the instruments and FMCs to get better control of switches. Any suggestions you can give?
Apparently not
Where is the plane parked at the very beginning
It´s very expensive aircraft.......in compare A320 JarD....What CG ? Didn´t you have to set on compiuter ?
What do you use for atmosphere/weather/clouds? Looks great.
Default X-Plane weather but I use Unique HD Clouds, and the SkyColor set that comes with Soft Clouds.
What is the application for view the rout?
At 4:23 minutes?
ok i have planes livery but pop up for i pod which i can't close and fmc doesn't work so i can't enter serial # help would be great.
Flies with flight factor a320. Have a aerosoft a320 thumbnail picture.
How do you find out the Flex Temp?
Flex temp is a technique used to reduce noise and engine wear in large airliners by performing take-off at less than full power.
The runway length required for an aircraft to take off is calculated for each flight. Depending on the aircraft weight, the air temperature and the wind speed, this length may be shorter than the available runway length. The crew can then calculate a lower-power engine setting where take-off will use a larger portion of the runway. Lower power settings reduce noise, engine wear, and maintenance costs.
This technique is based on air temperature, rather than percentage of engine power, because it is easy for the crew to look up or calculate the highest air temperature at which any particular take-off can be performed. That temperature is the highest flex temp that can be used.[citation needed]
Jet engines produce reduced thrust as the ambient air temperature increases. The flex temp is the highest air temperature at which the engines would produce the required thrust. The crew finds that temperature and enters it into the flight management system (FMS) - effectively telling the computer to assume the specified air temperature instead of the actual temperature. When flex (FLX) thrust is selected during take off, the engine controller produces maximum thrust for the assumed (flex) temperature. If necessary, the crew can push the throttles into the Take Off/Go Around (TOGA) detent and request full power. (Wiki)
Theres an app called Apsoft Toolbox on X-Plane Forums that can help you calculate the flex temp
www.wabpro.cz/A320/ use this. its the most accurate
Whenever I turn off the ext power the whole plane shuts off, even though my apu is on and the bleed is on also. I need help.
ALB Spotter you must turn on the APU generartor on the overhead panel
Just saw this replay lol, it was really because i didn't activate it, all good now!
Thank you
Thank you so much for this! Great video. I’m getting this beautiful plane soon. I also have a question, do you like the FF 777? Thanks in advance, and once again, fantastic video. Very explanatory.
I wonder why in simulated flight flaps are going up so fast. In real life, you fly sometimes more than 2 or 3 minutes before that step. And often more on long haul flights.
It actually really just depends on the speed of the aircraft
Great video. Very helpful. Can wait to put what you taught into practice.
Hi Q8 can i ask where u got the betterpush back plugin? thanks and great vid
Also at San Diego pilots use the whole threshold as the runway is short
That will depend on how heavy the aircraft is at takeoff. For this flight, we were flying pretty light hence no need for that.
Yeah and they also do pack off take off
Does this software similar ECAM actions for system failures and anomalies etc?
Hello @Q8Pilot. I hhave a question. How can I integrate the avid tab with the default tab of flight factor a320?
solved below. but in flight plan i'm not getting spd/alt numbers. any help here?
Takeoff and go around and aslo autothrottle position
How do you get rid of the dirty screens on the flight display
I just got the plane. And when i try to start it up then i start the APU and it says APU GEN OFF how do i get the gens on for the apu. If i turn external power off then the cockpit is dark. WHY?? PLEASE HELP!
Thank you Osamah for the nice tutorial flight video.
Thanks for watching buddy!
Why did you start engine 2 before engine 1?
spd is set at 100 not like in video with dashes for auto, what's happening? any suggestions?
is there a way to set vnav and lnav?
@@ericc7936 vnav and lnav are not on an airbus, i'm not familiar with this aircraft but try to push the knob in.
Thank you for yours videos Q8Pilot, please what page is the Trim and Flaps? Regards.
Most welcome, I will try to find the source, if I can't, I will upload it to my dropbox.
Thank you
I found it, here you can download it: forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/42653-trim-settings-ff-a320u/
Thank you!!!
Does the Flight Factor A320 have a vertical profile of the waypoints?
Thank you for this video. Thank to you i was able to make my first flight with this A320
thanks
everytime i try to put in my from and to in the mcdu it keeps popping up with some new runway page any help?
and everytime i try to put a cost index like 5 it says not allowed
Have you upgraded to the latest version?
Excellent video tutorial... If you have more videos which describe the instruments basics, so that it will help for the beginners like me.
Excellent and useful video. Thank you for that!
Hey Avia 71, so honored you check out my video =)
JAR cockpit is more beauty👍
Can you teach us how to plan the flight plan and how to get mods.
ok now i have initial settings for spd/alt at 100 and can't change either. is there a trick to do that?
you turned off auto/thr but it was back on during climb around 10-15000 ft. when does one turn it backon?
resolved. now using scroll on mouse for alt setting. thanks.
Hi...do you use any add-ons for scenery etc.?
how do i get the information for the performance page
Thnx a lot, great video. But... it seems that there is no single standard, everyone has his own Preliminary Cockpit Preparation and before start checklist. I constantly wonder why they are different.)))
That's because we are all flight simmer not real pilots =) If you want to learn the real flows and procedures, I highly recommend the Aibus Guide by Captain Mike Ray www.utem.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=21
Are these the default aircraft sounds?
This is such a good plane, sadly the browser doesnt work well, the tablet crashes when i go to simbrief.com, so i need to turn it off and back on again
Thanks for the video! It really helped :-)
sorry where did you look flx to you was wrote 68 ? ı dont know
Once again a top video production from you Osamah, if you ever want to have a change from flying in the USA what about a flight from Auckland in NZ to Queenstown NZ in the A320-A319 I've done this trip in real life and the Queenstown arrival is very challenging and I have attempted this route many times but never managed to get the Queenstown end finished correct so to would be good to see how the master would do this in the Airbus
Thanks Vic, I will consider this for a future video, seems an interesting route.
is there an a319,a320,a321 bundle for sale?
Have they fixed the issue with this plane, that you couldnt upgrade the AIRAC cycle?
Tom christensen Yes that's fixed.
