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 as well as the new MSFS a320 NEO. Hopefully you find this useful and it brings another perspective to your simulation. Any thoughts or comments are welcome!

This man is amazing. Produces tons of videos aside from his IRL job, streams a 5 hours flight and then - on the same evening - jumps into discord to guide people (including myself) through how to setup the controls correctly. Thank you very much!
Far too kind, thank you Thorsten, this was a long day :) Glad it was helpful!
Just hijacking top comment here to say something, you need to set your sensitivity settings to exactly what is in 320simpilot's sensitivity settings in order for it to differentiate between reverse idle and idle.
@@fakeshrew thanksx
I already bought the Fenix A320 and you don't know how much this video helped me to set up the aircraft with my Thrustmaster levers. THANK YOU VERY MUCH !
This videos are so helpful. Fantastic! I calibrated using this video prior to my first Fenix flight. After about 7 flights with the Fenix, and after calibrating through Thrustmaster, MSFS, my throttles would stick on at 30 percent. Would not go to idle or reverse at all. After wasting 2 hours messing with it. I just watched this video again and just re-calibrated it through Fenix for a second time , and its working again. I can't believe I wasted 2 hours, when all I needed to do is just watch the video again.
Bought the Fenix A230 yesterday 20/03/24, this video helped me out, setting up my TCA thrustmaster. Thanks you very much for the many useful/great videos you bring out.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
You've helped amazingly with everything aviation-related and I thank you so much!
I've spent days looking for how to fix this, and you are the saving grace here!
Again, thanks! You're an amazing youtuber. I hope in the near future you'll be getting more following.
Thanks for the clear explanation. Managed to get the throttle working with my T-Hotas. Works like a charm.
Excellent my friend, just what I needed to know ! Bought Fenix A320 today, and got it installed. I'm using Thrustmaster TCA + pedals, so this is very useful information
Good work ! Getting back into Fenix A320, this tutorial was very helpful :)
Finaly, thank you so much for fixing it. I was looking and testing it for hours but nothing worked out. It's like you are the only one who showed this hidden future.
Config of Trustmaster TCA done ! I found it a little bit tricky getting thrust levers into right spot. This tutorial helped me a lot !
Thanks for this clear guide to hardware set up. I’m so glad Fenix has released this A320 as I can finally get my throttle working correctly. No more witchcraft needed on the curves, resulting in an unsatisfactory calibration that could never be fixed on the TCA.👍👍👍
Glad it helped!
I came back to your channel after a long time away as I have finally bought the Fenix A320. Now another FS2020 mountain to climb setting it all up. Your presentations still up there with the best and of course this one helped me enormously. Hope the Boeing is treating you well and my thanks and gratitude once more - Pugwash
That is very kind, thank you so much for your kind words and great to have you back!
well done - very timely video. I was struggling with this last night - all sorted now. Thanks
Thanks mate, you really saved me from hours of trial and error troubleshooting for thrust lever configuration
Hey just wanted to say a huge thank you for taking the time to produce these amazing videos. I’m sure there are hundreds of thousands of simmers who are beginners and really appreciate these instructional videos. Your videos have personally helped me to get off the ground and fly the A320. Thank you again it is so much appreciated.
Thanks Richard, I really appreciate the kind words! Great to hear they have been useful.
My default Stick sensitivity was different. I had to change it to the settings of 320 sim pilot. No it works. Thanks alot, you saved my day!! Happy landings!
So glad I came across this video, sorted my problems out.
Thanks for your help has been brilliant especially with the MCDU on control setup I missed the next page for flaps setup THanks
That has saved me an incredible amount of time - up and running in minutes - thank you so much 👍👍
Thanks so so much, took me 4 dags of hair pulling. Then I found this. Keep up your good work. All The best!!!
Thanks! This is a good walk through of the setup. I wish more people would do these for both MSFS and X-Plane.
You’re welcome!
Why when we have Mr 320😁... just having fun, actually we have several real world A320 pilot's to 'train' us😀
This video is extremely helpful for calibrating the TCA. Thank you @320simpilot!
You're welcome!
Thank you. Finally got my throttles working thanks to this video.
Hi many thanks for all your Videos but in this case for the Fenix. I have recently moved to MSFS and have learned to check TH-cam before flying (painful though that is!!). Purchased the Fenix today. I am slowly going through all of your Fenix videos. You have saved me many hours of my life that I would otherwise have never got back!! Keith
Woah!! Wish I'd seen this earlier.. wondered why I couldn't get max reverse... You are so good!! Thanks man.
Thank you brother you have been of great help to me.
Greetings from Italy, good flight.
Hey
Thank you so much for this I was already despairing because nothing would work. Now it works for me
Thanks so much! I was completely stumped on why the flaps wouldn't move!
You're welcome!
I've just purchased it. So excited!
Thankyou. Just what I needed - subscribed.
Morning, can't wait to fly my new plane after work today, great stream last night.
Nice tutorial and thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Dude you're a lifesaver, this video helped me so much!
Thanks for the amazing video as always.
Perfect timing, just started the throttle setup and was having some difficulty. Brilliant!
I cannot get these calibrated at all
@@HughJassol_ I am going to try again later for the umpteenth time when i get back from work, I am sure it is something I am doing incorrectly ... think I might of thought where I was going wrong. Will let you know how I get on later
@@litchfiedr I just did it. Found I had to set the sensitivity curves to be straight lines (at 45 deg) like the other axis, otherwise the reverse idle and reverse thrust didnt work
@@sejo0911 I shall give that a go 👍
@@sejo0911 This saved my ass. Once i zeroed out everything but the reactivity then the throttles worked like a charm. thanks!
Thankyou so much for showing this set up!!!!!!!
Thank you very much for this amazing simple tutorial!
You’re welcome!
Very helpful video, thank you so much!!!!
Thanks you so much man helping me so much !
thank you for this video! i was about to give up. i would note that if the viewer's is having issues after calibration, like me, go back and make sure their sensitivity settings are the same as yours. that fixed it all.
Thank you so much you helped me for the flaps
Nice video, very usefull, had a bit problems with the throttle calibration, but I did it :)
Great video. In fact all key bindings for your TCA would be helpful actually, including how you work the tiller.
Very helpful. Many thanks
Barty
You are very welcome
Fantastic! Thank you.
Very good as usual 👍
If you guys have any problems with the throttle adjustment, make sure it is set to the default settings (as he has shown at 01:52), because oterwhise the Fenix is not able to detect it probarly event with the tool provided in the mcdu
Thanks! I didn't have those as default and the reverse idle was messing around with idle. now it's ok.
You have saved the day my friend - sensitivity MUST be set as per the video for both axis - thanks !
I don't get it. I've made sure that the default sensitivity settings are set exactly as he as in the video. It still fails to pick up reverse thrust properly. Any other suggestions? Thank you.
@@smndonovan Hi, did you find a solution?
@@smndonovan okay, now I figured out that the video settings differs from the default one that comes out of the box, now all good by using the video numbers
Great video thanks!
Fantastic tutorial!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for this excellent guide. Much appreciated. Do you know if brake to vacate system is modeled in this aircraft and the correct assignment to make use of the BTV position on the TCA throttle auto brake switch.
Thanks a lot ! It Worked !
Excellent tutorial, thank you. Could you show me the configuration for the TPR rudder from THRUSTMASTER?
For those without a reverse detent (I have the tflight hotas), if you leave the throttle at idle and click through the reverse calibration portion, it should work as it would in the FBW. Once you get to the regular idle, climb, flex, and toga detents set it up how you like. This instruction is buried in the EFB User Guide section 3.1 (only place I’ve seen anything about calibration for anything other than the TCA)
Amazing, that helped me very much, thanks.
Honestly, this comment should almost be pinned 👍
Lifesaver. Thank you.
I really had to play with the sensitivity settings to enable it to differentiate between idle reverse & idle. Similarly, I couldn't get it to full reverse at all with default sensitity,. In the aircraft config I also had to change deadzone from 2% to 1%. All great now!
I can't get it to full reverse how did you do it,? already got the 1% dead zone, but full reverse mehhhhhhh
I use a Logitech joystick only for throttle and a few button mappings and use an xbox controller for everything else. I typically use a button binding on the joystick to toggle between forward thrust and reverse thrust as my joystick only has 0-100% range and not detents or a standalone reverse setting. Does the Fenix recognize the reverse toggle or can it only be used with throttle hardware with reverse detents?
Thank you very much for tour help. It really speeds up to configure it 🙂. Can I ask how is the side stick working in Airbus in terms of sensitivity. I feel that in Aerosoft it reacted a bit quicker then in Fenix.
Thanks man; stuff like this should be produced by the manufacturer!
they better be giving you money lol
I've just ordered Thrustmaster TCA Captain Pack X Airbus Edition for myself - it should be at my house tomorrow. I look forward to it since most of my flights nowadays are done on Fenix A320 or FBW A320 Neo. Somehow PMDG 737 seems inferior (and I'm saying that as person who started the flying adventure on MS 2000 / Dreamfleet 737)
Thank you soooo much
thanks for the video. have you set any adjustments for the side stick sensitivity in the mcdu or msfs sensitivity?
Thank u so much
Great video but I still have one throttle thrusting more than the other one , followed every step to the letter. Any ideas on how to get both working the same ? I’ve also added the pin that came with the throttles. Could one throttle have a sensitivity set slightly different?
Brilliant
You are a hero
I love you man!
Nice bro do u have any tips how to use the plane without rudder pedals? As it doesn’t seem to steer with the sidestick and when landing it goes all over the place
Thanks!
You are very welcome, thank you so much!
Thanks. What are proper tca sidestick sensitivity settings for fenix?
ive tried follow ur setting but when im in the cocpit , when i move the hardware, it doesnt move at all. but on controller setup, its moving well. why is that? did i miss anything?
For engine start switches, do you also need to bind Set Starter 1 & 2 to buttons 3&4?
fantastic video! but..how to set the landing gear? mine it's mpped (up and down) in the button 21 but it's not working..
Max Reverse and idlel reverse detents are a problem on mine!
Edit: Solved! Thanks so much for such a great video!
how did u solved?
@@george2335 you ever figure it out? I have no reverse thrust at all
how do we do it for those who only have a joystick (throttles are either overpriced or out of stock where I live) to calibrate the plane? Can we disable the calibration of reverses such as the A32NX and flaps and map keyboard/joystick buttons?
Great video. But I can t seem to be able to calibrate my throttles. I follow the steps, but doesn t work for me. The instructions show to use the default tca settings so I put it back to default and followed the instructions. What could i be doing wrong?
I’m only using the TCA Sidestick.What sensitivity settings do you recommend.Thank You.
thanks for the video .. but i have problem with max reverse !! it`s not moving in the sim ?? any help !! i can move it by mouse .. but when i calibrated it`s not following !
How do you bind the autothrust off instinctive push button? I can only toggle the autothrust button on the FCU but the red ones don’t work with “autothrottle off”
Thank you for this usefull video, it helps me for the thrust levers setting. Concerning the autobrake settings I did as instructed in your video, but the result is not as expected, when rotating clockwise only HI is armed when reaching HI on the device. Then rotating ccw , the HI is disarmed when reaching the LO notch, LO&MED are never armed.
What setting do you have on the "switching" option, pressed or depressed? Thank you.
I used to have the exact same problem with FBW A320N. But it works fine with Fenix A320 without any changes to the assignments.
have you tried to use TCA captain, airbus ed. with any helicopters or general aviation and does the quadrant work with helicopters or general aviation (thrust control, flaps..)? Thanks!
did something change with SU10 or the recent fenix update? when I try to assign to Throttle 2/1 axis it gives warning, also shows as joystick button 15/11 and no option for reverse axis.. picked up the fenix a320 today (finally), was excited with all the updates.. but can't get the throttles to work at all.
Thx,, master. but where can I get a video about setting sidestick sensitivity?
What are your settings for landing gear? My landing gear lever will flip down and back up during flight and make a tone sound.
I know you did this video a year ago, but I was hoping you covered the spoiler axis. I have the TCA and the spoiler axis is properly assigned to the correct axis. However, when I physically move the spoiler on the TCA, it goes from off to full in the sim. It won't stop in any of the in-between settings. I wrote to Fenix but they have never responded. Do you know if there is an issue? I have the recent V2Block2 A320. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the video, could you also make for 737-700 of PMDG
My experience was after changing the crazy default calibration i was worrying that although the throttle worked in the calibration screen they no longer worked in the setup screen. That appears a bug, ignore it and calibrate as described in the video in Fenix a320 and they work perfectly. So I was trying to fix a problem that didn't exist.
Hello, do you know how to solve the problem when the brakes will not disengage? the problem started when i plugged in my thrustmaster TCA airbus throttle quadrant + addons.
Everything else does work
Cant seem to get my right throttle to work! And left throttle just stays at climb and toga! I followed about 5 different videos and nothing seems to help. Any advise before i send the tca back and maybe get a new one. Doesnt seem to be reading the throttles correctly because everything else works
Hello, just wondering what monitor you use. Many thanks
Awesome video, thx! Any idea why I can't get full reverse? Using calibration, it displays 6.75% when throttles pulled to full reverse on the physical quadrant, so the best i can achieve in the sim is about 75% reverse. Checked TM app and it shows axes are indeed at 0 full aft. But Fenix sees them 6.75% forward. Frustrating!
super video I finally got the throttles calibrated however i am having trouble with the flaps and spoiler I cannot get the calibration to read my flaps just i notch is all i get
hey 320 sim pilot, how did you get the cabin window camera setting like in your Fenix A320 Flight Test Video, timestamp 22:00 ?
Hello man...my problem is... with the tca, the truttle don't move inside the plane...I move the starter of the engime 1 and 2 and inside I see to move...but the truttle not... freezed in climb position... you know something about that? Thank s a lot...
Just a quick question on the "Autopilot Off" for the sidestick, do you have it inverted for FO side? Because it seems like the Captain's side has the "red button" on the right, not the left. Would you recommend keeping it with the red button or should I swap the red over to the left side of the stick?
It really doesn’t matter. If you install the red button on the right don’t forget to flip the “left handed right handed” switch underneath the joystick accordingly. BTW the left and right buttons are separate sets provided in the box.
Thank you very much for the tutorial, that's why the flaps didn't work for me. But I would also like to know what sensitivity you recommend to have on the joystick (I have the TCA Joystick) I ask because I want the handling of the plane to be as real as possible. Thank you very much!
Glad it helped! I use default/linear sensitivity on the joystick.
Hi! After calibration when mcdu says "using custom thrust profile" i can't find it in controller settings, do you know what causes this?
Life saver
What do you reccomend for the TCA side stick sensitivity? Default feels hyper sensitive to me, like direct law
Has this improved for you? Still having issues
That would really be nice to know as well. I've seen some posts on AVSIM forums about setting aileron and elevator sensitivity to around -40 to -45%, which seems like a decent compromise between a direct and quick input and still enough sensitivity for precise adjustments. However, you still need to pull back on the stick really hard on landing, more than the usual "half sidestick back" on the real airplane.
For six months now I am trying to get rid of the HUGE dead zone on the Boeing Throttle Quadrant. Levers has to be moved to around 70% to get thrust. All the space before that point is dead.
I believe this works with Spad and Axes and Ohs too but it has been shut out from FSUIPC.
