- Today we look at setting up the MCDU/FMGC in the Airbus A320 from the beginning in Microsoft Flight simulator 2020!
www.simbrief.c...
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 new detailed simulation of the longest baby 'bus by Toliss. Hopefully you find this useful and it brings another perspective to your simulation. Any thoughts or comments are welcome!

Why doesn't FS 2020 has these kind of tutorials in game? The only tuturial/training is with a Cessna which is the easiest to fly.
Actually I've crashed the Cesna more than the airbus and 747 put together lol
Gardenman The biggest plane I tried yet was the a320 and that was really easy to fly but don’t ask how the landing went...let’s just say I underestimated the speed and weight of the plane.
It is too complex to be put into manual. PMDG's Boeing for FSX alone has 300++ pages per aircraft.
It is better if you Google the real FCOM (aircraft manual) or watch how real pilots do it on TH-cam. You can also copy what others did in other simiulators like P3D or X-Plane.
Because the 90gb download would change to a 500gb download.. lol
because the aircraft isnt made by fs 2020
This is quickly becoming my new favourite channel
Fin my favourite channel too
Same, I'm learning so much!
I love FD2S but this guy is even clearer and has no chat questions to distract.
Same, very educational. Can’t wait to get my a320 from wish.com and put my knowledge to use!
@IMposure , what does wish.com do
Just a tip, you can find your center of gravity while in the plane by extending the weight window to the right.
You hero! Thanks for this tip
Nice tip !! Thanks for that.
I was going to make a comment about this, I found that out by accident, hopefully he sees your comment.
must be my bad english, weight window to the right...whats that?
@@necro655 What he means is just click & drag to expand the window to the right, like you would do with a window on your desktop.
One other great tutorial would be on different external software/links etc to use,
like charts, simbref etc and how to use them with FS2020
Thanks again for superb tutorials
Trying to wrap my old brain around this , after 1000 repeat views, i might get it
Same bro trying to figure out whats going on. He should probably make a video on how to create a flight plan using simbrief
Once you do get it however, It's like riding a bike, you'll pretty much be ok with any FMC after this
Bro today I did my first IFR flight from cold and dark
Didnt finish it yet though still gotta learn ILS
@@hellstunter21 Its actually not that hard, i did not knowhow to turn ils on, played around and then found out how ils works and at same time found out how Autoland works aswell XD
Every day I'm hoping that this man makes a video! His voice has a kind of calming vibe to it! Plus he makes awesome tutorials!
I see the airways issue wasn't just me being stupid... I really hope these issues get resolved.
Same im using thw msfs f planing thing and i cant find the airway idk how also can you explain what is wrong with it at the moment
Cocoa Bean He shows how to in the video. What are you having trouble with?
The issue is also shown in the video. It’s when the airways page fills up, and so you can’t enter in any more airways, only waypoints.
Cesar Perez im new ro simming and i want to find the name of a airway
Do you know how to get the sid ob sinbrief and also what is the charlie oscar lima thing thst he input in the video if you know i need help
@@cocoabean5917 The SID should be the first waypoint you see on the simbrief flight plan. You'll know it's a SID because it'll look like a waypoint (it'll be a word) but will also have numbers at the end. In his case, it's RENDI1S. Airways normally are just one letter follow by numbers, such as z739.
Charlie Oscar Lima is just the "COL" waypoint. He's just spelling it out using the phonetic alphabet (Alfa, Bravo, Charlie, Delta...)
Finally a detailed understanding of how to setup an airliner. Thank you very much for this!
You are welcome!
‘One person will be stuck doing the walk around in the rain’ Strange how its never the LHS turn to do the walk around when it’s raining!!!
If you're in the aircraft and go to the weight page, you can re-size it (to the right) & it will show you the CoG etc. rather than having to set it up in the main page.
Thank you so much for adding this informative video! I'm a recent fan and I'm glad to see an experienced person contributing to the sim community. I've encountered a problem that I think you may be able to help me (and others) help me out with in regards to the Airbus FMS. It seems to be a common occurrence for me that the AI ATC changes the expected Instrument Approach Procedure when I'm within ~50NM of the destination. It seems to be that every time I try to input the change into the FMS, the flight computer attempts to back-track me to ~20-50NM of my current position, even when this re-route isn't prescribed in any approach procedure. It seems to be that I'm able to erase the previous approach procedure and implement the new one, only for the flight computer to do a 180 turn to backtrack ~20NM before proceeding to the designated Initial Approach Fix. No matter how I try, I can't seem to delete the fix that it turns around to, nor can I seem to force direct to a new fix along the new route.
I understand that there are probably bugs with the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 autopilot/FMS (I've encountered several bugs not including the ones you've described in your recent videos), but would it be too much trouble to try to describe how you encounter this scenario in the real world?
@@ivobrick7401 Thanks for the reply! Yes, I assume that the problem has more to do with the in-game FMS being incomplete or otherwise inoperative but I still hope to see how this situation is (supposed to be) handled. I am an air traffic controller in real life so I'm interested in getting to know how real life pilots handle the situations we subject them to in our airspace. I'm under the impression that even when we clear airliners for visual approaches they will still queue up an instrument approach into the FMS, regardless of whether they opt to use it on final.
This guide really helped me get going when I first got MSFS and started out. It would be awesome if you made an updated one for the FlyByWire MCDU.
These videos are brilliant, I’m really enjoying them - thanks for taking the time to make them.
It would be great at some point to pull all of this stuff together in to one flight where you cover everything from cold & dark to touchdown. In the meantime I’m loving these excellent videos!
The way you explain things is so precise and easy to understand. It makes me feel like it's ridiculous that I didn't really know how this stuff worked back in FSX.
Thank you for your kind words!
I want to go to flight school one day, but I want to be well versed on absolutely everything I can possibly learn ahead of time. Idk why, but properly programming the flight plan, and communicating with ATC are the 2 most intimidating things for me at this moment. My respect for all pilots increased drastically upon realizing how many different systems they need to understand. Let alone communicating with ATC while doing everything else. I have my work cut out for me, and I thank you for allowing all of us the opportunity to learn all of this whether or not we go to flight school. When I feel ready, I hope I have at least 1 of your subscribers with me in flight school! Hope to see yall at 40K ft in real life one day! Until then, I'll continue to study your content.
Awesome
Perfect, just what I needed after last night's ILS tutorial!
Thank you for your amazing content! I just had my first ILS successful landing and it felt amazing! Keep up the good work!
Yeah, that was the last piece of the puzzle for me - landing without crashing! Enjoy.
Whenever I put in the departure and destination it always says not in database.
i think it wont recognise airports that arent meant to fit the A320.happened to me on a small airport.maybe that's your problem.
Is the ATC crazy in this game? Even when I file my flight plan correctly, he still wants me to fly at 11000ft
I’m always asking them to increase my cruise altitude to my planned FL. other issue I have is planning the flight plan in the MCDU means you can’t input altitude constraints or planned altitudes. So you have to manually manage decent. Also, don’t follow ATC for the decent because they don’t seem to get you at the right altitude in time.
@@tommack601 I do the same too. Fucking ATC always interfereing. I tried a VOR-DME approach to KAthmandu andtried to ignore the ATC, when I landed he didn't even clear me to taxi, the bastard.
Yeah, they love to give me 11000ft as well. One thing I don’t like with ATC in MSFS or x-plane is the inability to tell ATC “No”. If they say, “N172CG, climb and maintain 11000ft”, I want to be able to say, “Unable. I’m a 172 and I am only going from KORL to KDAB.” I don’t know how the UI would work, but the current options seem to be comply or cancel IFR.
yes the atc is broken as hell.
@@deathmaster4035 Did the ATC give you a phone number to call?
im finnish and i have pretty good english, but i dont understand everything but i like your videos and i like aviaton. The tutorials are blessed for me and my braincells. the tutorials are so helpfulls. Thank you :)
Really like your videos with the exception of this one. Usually I can follow them along pretty well but this one seemed to go way off in the weeds without explaining any of the details. You are rolling through the different MCDU settings using acronyms for every 4 of 5 words with out explaining what they mean. I was completely lost by the 8:57 mark and had to stop watching as it was just a waste of time. I think you need to dumb down things some or go into explaining greater detail what all the acronyms mean, how to interpret the flight plans you showed, etc, at least for me. I think that anyone that can understand half of what you are saying in this video probably doesn't need help with the MCDU setup.
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching. I sometimes cut things out (running to 35 minutes felt like a long video!) but it’s interesting to know you’d have preferred more detail. I’ll consider this for the future videos.
@@320SimPilot I'm not bothered by long videos as one can always pause them and come back if one needs a break. But it seems a lot of folks are put off by video length so perhaps you could break things apart into several videos which would keep the length down. Also to save you time you could suggest sources (if they exist) of info that one could review as a precursor to watching this video such that folks could get the details elsewhere and you wouldn't have to waste your time covering them. Thanks for all the hard work and I look forward to your content in the future.
I just keep learning more, and more each day about the A320's systems, and it is always great to have a tutorial from a real world pilot. There is actually a Flex Temp calculator that works really well for this aircraft in MSFS: wabpro.cz/A320/ . Also, it is now possible to load simbrief flightplans directly into the MCDU, although I have heard of at least one person reporting that it did not load in everything.
Thanks Shaun, glad you are enjoying it!
This channel is gonna blow up soon. Amazing content from an amazing captain! Keep it going man🔥
Could you please make an updated MCDU tutorial with the FBWA320NX mod which has a more detailed MCDU?
This is sooooo confusing!! I’m going to have to rewatch it!
Honestly I gave up on setting up waypoints manually since mfs is full of bugs and sim brief plans barely work… there is always either missing data or system adds some points you cant remove. So frustrating makes you tired that you cant enjoy rest of the flight
Even using mfs pre defined routs causes some issues like it fixes the flight time fuel consumption on a stupid number and it does let you change LOW …
brother, thank you so much for taking your precious time to TEACH us "mortals" about the airbus details. amazing!
Such a great tutorial. Could you do an updated video that shows the latest version of the FBW A320? Maybe include details on how to read charts and where to get all the info that is required to type into the MCDU? Thanks for all the help you give to all of us. Cheers!
How do you find what airway it is in the msfs2020 flight planning someone please answer
Do you need to purchase navigraph to accurately use SimBrief with Microsoft flight sim?
I followed along with your tutorial with the exact locations airways etc. However, when it gets to RIDSU and entering the airway UL607, I get AWY/WPT MISMATCH. I did everything else exactly the same. It seems the MCDU has been updated since you did it. What do I do?
This is a database issue I believe, I sometimes have this. It just depends on the route! The easiest way now is to use the simbrief integration, I have a video showing the 'MCDU Updates' which covers it. th-cam.com/video/ssOFr9N--D0/w-d-xo.html
thanks for telling me what the hell sid is and what the corrrect one to choose is....
Hi I'm flying from EGLL to EIDW and one of the airways that NaviGraph chose is UL9 (has a small 9 upper right corner). When I try to enter the airway into the computer it says "not in database." What does one do in this case? Thank you.
Hi Chris, with all the different databases out there this can happen. One option is to skip it and use a direct between the two way points instead, or enter way points manually, one by one. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
It is been two times that i have had issues with the MCDU. After introducing the flight plan manually, when i have reached certain alttitude, the MCDU erases the flight plan, it completly disappears and i can´t do anything, or at least, i don´t know how to resolve the situation. Anyone can help me fix it or is it a bug or something?
Hey, not really sure where to comment this... but I'd love to see a video on Weight, balance, CG, fuel, and boarding within the MCDU... not many tutorials out there cover this... at least at the level of detail you do with your vids.
Great idea, thanks!
08:24 airways page information
Boom now I know how to step up MCDU on the airbus!! Thanks bro
Glad I could help!
This is very informative!
can you please make a video on the basics of communication with the ATC next please? like if the atc is telling me to do anything outside of my flight plan like hold, what should I do? should I program the hold pattern into the FMC or do the holding manually?
Great instructional video. Thank you. One question. On your world map you have the ability to select a parking spot as well as a runway or departure and an arrival location with runway as well as the arrivals info. My world page does not allow for that much info to be displayed. Can you tell me how to change my world map to appear as yours does? thanks in advance.
Hi John, glad you liked it! On the world map at the top where it says ‘runway’ , change that to parking and it should show you the spots!
Hi I have a question, Is this the A320 that comes with MSFS 2020 and the MCDU fully functional or do you need Add-Ons. Thanks
Hi Richard, the best way to enjoy the A320 NEO in MSFS is by using the 'Flybywire A32NX' Mod. It is completely free and now even available in the MSFS built in store (for free). It has a very good but not yet complete MCDU, however they are constantly updating and improving it.
The MCDUuuuu is so similar yet so different to the Boeing version... Definitely going to be a learning curve! Thanks for the video, very informative as ever!
I flew a lot the 737 on xplane 11 and I agree so much with you 😄. But the a320 mcdu seems great too one we know how to use it.
Inputting the airways is a bit more hassle here.
The take-off perf parameters too, needs you to wait after starting the engine to see the take-off trim setting.
Could you do a full FlyByWire A32nx Project for MSFS2020 MCDU tutorial?
Thanks for your comment. As the mod is updating so often I will do a full tutorial with it once it is more complete!
@@320SimPilot Thanks. I have tried inputting a full simbrief flight plan by hand but there have been obstacles.
With FS2020 acting up re: it's database of waypoints, what I've been doing recently is getting a route in FS2020, then copying that into simbrief and then using that as a flight plan. I'm using the in-game ATC.
Anyway, I'm a new sim pilot and would love to get better at everything.
Thanks for all these excellent videos that are helping me transfer from the 747. I followed this video with the latest FlyByWire stable setup and as to be expected some of the screens were slightly different. However, when I got to the end there were no values generated for V1, VR, V2. Do you have any suggestions for why this happened?
@9:24 "If you'd like to tune those in one by one you can, but it's more time consuming."
Cries in G1000 knob
Hi. thank you for this tutorial. I have tried a couple of times to load the MCDU on my own. I can put in a lot of the information, but I can't seem to click on the origin or dest and fill in the FP. Have you had this problem at all?
So I was following along with you in game and when I enter “misgo” like you did it told me “2nd index not found.” Why is that? I have an outdated airac cycle on sim brief if that’s it.. but I’m not sure why else.
same here. couldnt find any solutions also
just skip the MISGO and press return, type in COL and press EDUPO, then it should work
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 completed my first flight and landing today in the neo. The plane rocks gently side to side in cruise. Strange. On final approach at 50ft radio altitude when it nosed down and I started the flare the aircraft banked heavily to the right on its own. Is this some sort of normal or alternate law thing going on?
Glad you managed a flight Patrick! The rocking and the roll in the flare are both glitches that should not be there. I experience the roll in the flare quite regularly, I hope it is fixed soon!
Would you be able to add the links to the online resources you mentioned for charts etc either in the description or a prinned comment please? They sound very useful!
Legend for putting these together and speaking to what's real and not
I need help... Either this is broken since the patch or I'm doing something wrong... I do make exactly the same as in the video.. as soon as I try to enter EHAM/LIFR (4:00) into "Line Select right one" it does disappear and it will not switch to the new screen (4:05). Anyone else experience this?
I made a short video about this behavior whenever I fly... BTW. There is no difference if I start up the plane (dark & cold) or just start on the runway th-cam.com/video/etQhKG8rhU0/w-d-xo.html
OMG... I found the culprit... If you have installed the FPS Fix it does not work anymore... Removing it fixes the problem
@@Gunsi-kb2xq You saved me a whole lot of hassle, thank you bro
In the MCDU - can you program the 'from' to be your current position? Sometimes it bugs out, I find it hard to understand why you can only program the MCDU to go from one airport to another, rather than from your GPS position in the sky to an airport if you need to change things mid-flight?
I've messed around with the 'DIR' but this is really confusing me.
I hope MS2020 updates the data base soon. Some SIDs and STARS are not on the MCDU. Has anyone noticed?
Exactly what something like me needed. You got a subscriber.☺
Can you do a full flight tutorial as well
Thank you for watching and subscribing! I will consider that suggestion for the future!
Wait. So you need a subscription to see the terrain in the A320? That kinda blows. I figured that sort of stuff would already be programmed in. huh. Too bad.
Hi, the subscription is only for the charts which show the frequency and procedures for the ILS./departures/arrivals. The terrain will show on the Airbus display even without any subscription! Thanks for watching.
@@320SimPilot really? My simulator must have been glitching then because that button was unresponsive when I pressed it. Thanks.
@@DeliciousManX You have to be close to the ground to see the terrain in the a320.
Great video! I’m a pilot and am working on a tutorial for flying a Cessna 172 with a flight plan programmed into the Garmin G1000. I have come to appreciate how much work goes into creating one of these videos!
I, too, have noticed quirks with how the simulated G1000s differ from how the real thing operates.
One thing to watch out for-make sure the titles are within the safe title area. I’m watching this on a TV and the titles get cut off at the edges.
Thanks for watching Tom and I hope your videos do well! I will keep in mind the title area, great point!
I have not even watched this yet, but judging by his previous videos I'm 100% sure this'll be the tutorial which will make me recall everything I'd forgotten about FMGCs since I last used them in FSX more than 10 years ago. And now to watch the actual video...
I hope it helped!
Whatever you do, don't make a mistake!
There is no way to edit a waypoint. You have to exit the flight and restart.
I hope that they get this FMS sorted out in an upcoming patch.
Yes this is why I have taken to loading in from the MSFS planner, it is just too much of a headache to adjust the F-PLN once loading it!
Sir, you have no idea how long I was looking for such video... Thank you a thousand times ! :)
But how to calculate zwf/zwfcg? How do you calculate it in real plane? And how important it could be if you misscalculate?
Great video, indeed. Can you set the MCDU for go around? It seams like i always have to set manually the heading and altitude to go to the holding point. I tried to use the direct option to take me to the holding point, hopping i can set the holding pattern but that was a disaster. The MCDU showed me just a straight line ending in nothing... :) Have you tried that?
In FSX Steam Edition, I Use The A320 & The MCDU Asks For A CHG Code. What Is A CHG Code
Captain: I am with A32nx v0.4 / MFS2020 v1.9.5, I just follow everything you said in the Flight-plan input, however, the MCDU/ATC seems not smart enough to guide me to FL330 during climb phase. Do you think it is a bug of A32nx/MFS2020? Or we need to manually input the flight level / speed before IFR clearance? Thanks!
Why does my radio NAV page show LS/FREQ instead of ILS/FREQ
Flybywire A32NX 0.4.0 update loaded : I'm having real problems setting up a flight plan in MCDU on A320. I am following the same instructions as on this video, but when I come to select departure from EHAM (6.50 on video) I don't get 'LAT REV FROM EHAM' page and cannot select departure. I've tried doing this from cold startup and also on end of runway. I have NOT plotted the route in Flight Simulator as I wanted to replicate what real pilots do. What am I doing wrong?
thanks. i have a question. what is, and can i enter, somehing like this 'N0464F380' ?
A question about ZFWCG … is this the
1) CG of the A/C with zero fuel but loaded with passengers/ crew/ cargo/ baggage?
2) CG of the A/C completely empty of fuel passengers/ crew/ cargo/ baggage?
3) CG of the aircraft with fuel/ passengers/ crew/ cargo/ baggage?
Since you made this video Asobo have added to the weight and balance section an extra adjustable CG called Empty CG Position %MAC which I assume is an adjustment that can be made if one wishes of the CG for a completely empty A/C (and this would normally vary as a function of wear and tear or due to structural changes within or on the A/C).
So quite apart from the strict definition of ZFWGC and where in a real Airbus you get that figure from … could you also say where we should get this figure from for the A320nx for MSFS? Thanks for all the hard work you do on top of your day job informing us and keeping us entertained … just brilliant👍
A very-much beginner asks (and I'm playing on Xbox Series X) - what about the altitudes for each waypoint. There is no way to set those in the MCDU, right? So you are climbing/descending according to the flight plan generated in SimBrief, using the autopilot? I'm just starting out with the 320 and my biggest problem is the in-game ATC keeping me too low or too high, and "guessing" which altitude to be at at which waypoint, where the TOD and BOD are, etc.
How do you fly just manually - no flight plan. then load an ILS into the FMC. I've tried pressing the RAD/NAv button which then shows the ILS/NDB/OBS inputs. I've managed to enter the ILS frequency so that it shows at the lower ledt corner os the FMC screen, Pressing the RAD/NAV button again doesn't then input the frequency into the NAV aid line
I'm having difficulty entering a custom waypoint. I have my 'From/To' set up, I go to the data screen, page 2, hit 'stored waypoints', then 'new waypoint' but when I try to input anything it doesn't work. It could be anything random at all, but nothing enters into any of the fields. Even the lat/long. :(. This happens on the A320NX (mod) and on the vanilla A320 I can't even access page 2 of the data index, the next page button doesn't work
So good to have an Airbus pilot simmer on TH-cam. Fantastic channel - thanks! I've learned so much already. I'm a regular pax on BAW490 / 491 / 493 and I love learning about how you guys fly these birds. Wishing you clear skies my friend!
Thank you David, I'm glad you are enjoying them!
I thought it was me doing badly with MCDU so I followed your exact flight plan up until [MISGO] and then on my MCDU it says (2nd Index Not Found).
MSFS20 at the moment has many bugs and MCDU is one of them as it really doesn't want to play nice. Everytime I try with a flight plan ON the MCDU it does not work as intended :(
I've asked so many places, no proper response, so who better to ask than someone who's actually used a real MCDU. I'm trying to fly from KORD to CYYZ, I entered the required data into simbrief however the route (SIDs and trans for arrival and dep.) Is different from the stuff that the MCDU shows me, I cant select the route simbrief wants me to take as the MCDU doesnt seem to know it exists, how do I deal with this? This wasnt a problem when I flew from KSFO to KLAX
Hey man! Thanks for the tutorial. I am new to Flight Simulator 2020, can you please let me know how the game allows you to set up the MCDU from scratch? Whenever I try to while starting the aircraft on platform it won’t allow me to set FMGS system. Just displays “N/A” on the pb on the MCDU. Thanks!
Hi, Can you explain Arinic 424. Sometimes I see CI, CF on MCDU and I cant find these on names on the LiFO charts. I need an explanation on these fixes. Will appreciate any knowledge sharing and possibly if you have any resources because I couldnt find much information on these. I basically want to learn how to interpret these points on the A320 MCDU as they were never taught as part of type rating
The default airplanes dissapoint me :( for hardcore simmer like me they are lackin system depth. Will use Fs 2020 only for VfR flights. If i want to fly airbus I will stick with p3dv4 and the fslabs A320. Why I spend 120 bucks for shitty default planes. I dunno.
I am having a lot of difficulties with the airways not showing up in MCDU, it keeps saying “not in database”. The AIRAC for MSFS is 2202 but I do not have it unlocked in SimBrief, could this be my problem? I am brand new to this stuff so apologies if I said anything that doesn’t make sense.
Yeah....after about 10 min into this, you lose me...hehehe. Is there a training video you would recommend me to watch to help get me up to speed with Instrument flying? The Flight management system just confused the heck out of me. For example, I don't understand all the differences between an ILS approach vs. a DME, versus a direct and so forth. I think if I had a better base of understanding of Instrument flying, I would understand the FMS better.
So as you use SimBrief and it doesn't calculate the SIDs and STARs for you (at least that's what I can tell), do you have to add them in the Flight Sim planner itself?
I personally have been importing simbrief into Navigraph and doing the SIDs and STARs in Navi and then exporting again into the flight sim. Just trying to figure out the best approach to this as I realised changing the ramp/gate in the flight sim completely resets my SID that was imported from Navigraph.
I think at initB you entered wrong ZFWCG, because at the game menu you should decrease the fuel to 0% (instead of 50%), and insert that CG. As it name shows ZERO FUEL CG. What do you think?

This really is a very comprehensive tutorial, just be slower, probably everything you do is very familiar with you but I can't follow, You are doing things very fast and I don't know if you clicked, pointed or just swirl with your mouse pointer. Keep sending us good videos furthermore! Ivan.
I've been waitin for this. Now to go through it several more times before I actually understand all of it :P
Almost every time I use flight plan from flight simulator altitude is wrong according to ATC. I am always asked to climb to 12000 ft for example even when according to fplan I should be at 6000 .
Hello I'm trying to fly to turkey from gatwick and I'm using the airways from simbrief but it's not working. Any help? Btw i was trying to use the Y312 from MIMF1M airway that's what i was using
You move the mouse cursor all over so fast cant follow you
On the PERF page you fail to set up the CLB, CRZ, DES, APPR, GO AROUND, phase sheets
Thank you for a good help
I think I have found a work round for atc for not vectoring you in properly for landing, I flew from Manchester to Malta ifr crz altitude was fl350 when I got to my last way point before my first step down which was pol at fl195 I requested a decent and got permission from atc to fl190 I did this with every subsequent way point all the way to the approach which by that time atc had already vectored me to 3000 feet which was the right altitude for a straight in approach to runway 13 which in turn gave me a decent landing.
At least this is better than default FSX where the airliners didn't have a functional flight computer of any type. Wish there was ANY documentation for ANY aircraft so you could learn the basics of each plane. Going from Boeing to Airbus is like speaking a whole new language.
Hello, I also have flight simulator on my Xbox. Every time when I am loading my MCDU and when I try to enter airway my mcdu says NOT IN DATABASE, can you tell me how to fix this issue
Great vis on the MCDU, but how to you know what speed to fly when following the flight plan?
Oh wow, this helps so much! Can’t wait to see what’s next, very helpful for someone who is basically clueless but enjoys aviation!
I can't load any data into my FMC and I've no idea why. I save flight plan etc but when I look at the Navlog it only has the destination showing (if I start up on the runway, all the nav points show on the Navlog). When I go into the FMC the data page does not give me any information and the Init page won't allow me to put any destination/arrival information. Likewise, nothing in the flight plan. Any thoughts? I've searched so many forums etc but can't find anything on this issue.
How do you delete a waypoint on the list? and What does USR mean on the list? Great video! Thanks! I took notes and have spent a couple hours just programming the MCDU with simbrief.
You one set of instructions such as pushing button x, and then wait a second for your audience to find that button and push it on their flight simulator computer. Actually wait more like 5 seconds. I was able to follow you halfway through the tutorial on the FMC for Airbus 320 then I just got frustrated.
Question?
So when I used simbrief and navigraph, and made sure all of this info was in the mcdu, the flight path on the NAV was some crazy shape near KLAX. Ive gone back in and started a new flight plan two additional times, and the same thing. Any idea why?
Loved the video - thankyou. Since you made it MS have improved the A320 and we have the FlyByWire version which is (in my view) even better. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the latest versions (or even a refreshed video with the improvements in place).
Cheers

How can i find my SID in the flight plan? I must be blind to not find it but yeah... I just can't, i've been looking for it for 30 minutes now and i can't find it hahaha, sorry for this dumb question captain
There is a hot key to change instruments camera. CTRL + number (1-8). CTRL1 is PFD CTRL2 is auto pilot ...CTRL8 is overhead panel
hello I have a problem when using the FMC, I just did exactly the same things you did but my V1, VR and V2 don't appear calculated, does anyone has the same problem?
