- In this Microsoft Flight Simulator video, we go back to basics and start again with the FlyByWire A32nx, since it has had multiple updates I thought a new series aimed at the beginner would be helpful.
In episode one we start by downloading the installer and setting up the simbrief profile, we then connect our A32nx to simbrief and setup the MCDU for a flight from Manchester to Dusseldorf.
For more advanced users have a look at my descent planning video:

Thanks so lot for FlyByWire A32nx Beginner Tutorial teach
Thank you for your support!!
@@RealSimPilothi its me again. I still cant figure out the pitch trim thing. Can u maybe explain as simple as you can?
I’m not gonna lie this is the best video to help me and my career
An excellently paced tutorial without any bells or whistles. Looking forward to the next two. Cheers.😁
Start at 10:54 for flow..Love this. I’ve been using it for every flight. The fly by wire check list doesn’t really explain flow and this really does. Thank you!
This man is crystal clear. Makes Learning easy. No faffing about.
Best tutorial I’ve seen. I’ve had real problems since installing this but your video has answered everything
Two years flying the sim from Cessna 172 to CJ4. I think it's about time to jump into the A320/747. Initially very overwhelming, your tutorial is perfect. SimBrief sure helps smooth the experience by the looks of it.
2 years?! I only flown those planes for 2 months then used the big planes (i got tired of the small planes)
But hey, great job for flying them for so long! I only got this game in december played a little bit, then played again 2-3 months ago.
@@purplemate340i flew the 152 for the tutorial and immediately starting learning the commercial systems. I don’t think it’s a skill thing at all. It just depends what you want to fly and when. Big planes aren’t hardest to fly by any means. Just takes the person wanting to do it so you doing it in less time doesn’t make you better just like me doing it immediately means nothing. Just chose different courses
@@JbBackFeeble Yes, you are completely correct. I did pretty much what you did but I used the TBM 930 for some reason I don't know. And I also didn't do the tutorial because they were glitchy for me
You’re my guy! Needed this bro! Love the accent too! Much gratitude from across the pond in the USA!
Absolutely great tutorial, clear and simple to follow. I found that quite a bit has changed, especially the websites' UIs and some things on the plane, this makes it tricky at times but still a great tutorial and helps find your way!
This tutorial needs an update
7 minutes into to this, and this is terrific. Great voicework. Your cadence just keeps everything humming along.
These videos are fantastic mate, thank you very much. I'm setting up my plan Manchester to Dusseldorf and following it to the letter. I will be flying this route today through all of your tutorials.
Wow great video and lots of Knowledge for a beginner like me thanks and well done .
Best beginners tutorial by a country mile. Great work! Thank You 😊
The best tutorial I have come across by far.Brilliant
This was extremely helpful I wrote my own checklist in a little book so I can refer to it now :)
Thanks!
This is by far the best tutorial out there! Cheers!
You didn't connect the jetway before boarding. I imagine all the passengers walking out the end of the open jetway one by one and piling up on the tarmac below :-/
Lol
Someone should make a mod where this actually happens 😛
@@Kateyangyuqing lemmings!
Worked just fine in Lemmings 😕
You mean similar to Lloyd in Dumb and Dumber, only multiples 😂
Hii, I love the video, it's helping me a lot, ty! :D
I have one question, if i need rudder trim ( 27:29 ) how do I know it? I'm new and I don't know where to look.
its been 11 months, did you figure this out bcz i want to know as well
You will never find a need to use rudder trim
I still come back to these every 6 montha
Exceptionaly detailed. A great video to start like a pro. Thanks !
Since they have made many updates is this still the best tutorial out there?
Thanks for the detailed video on the A32NX really helped kickstart my journeys with the aircraft thanks again:)
единственный из всего ютуба кто мне реально помог с автопилотом, спасибо :)
Thanks for your informative videos. the A32NX is the only airliner i have ever been able to fly and have been able to program the MCDU from scratch 🇿🇦
Excelente tutorial thank you so much. Can you just tel me how did you obtain the trim calculation of 2 based on the ZFW? You mentioned from your checks list, is that a calculator somewhere i can use? I looked for the trim value everywhere in the MCDU but can’t find such thing. Thank you again
you check the CG in MCDU (FUEL PRED, 5R), then you either check the FBW downloadable checklist, or a scale on the trim wheel
SUPER Tutorial. I am a beginner. The best instruction video that I have ever seen till date on TH-cam.
Keep up the excellent work.
It really does not get better that this. T
hank you for all the hard work.
It is just Brilliant. :)
If possible can you Please o the same line of videos for the PMDG 737-800/700. It would make life so much better for all ou us out here to learn from you. Thanks
Great tutorial. It gives a perfect overview. I will immediately watch the next episode
Awesome videos. The A32NX and Sim brief tutorials and run through. Awesome. Thank you,
hi, my game keeps crashing when i select the Flybywire a32NX package, please help :(
@@redcapiano9544 I've been having the same issue recently. I went ahead and bought the FENIX.
@@nicky6728 and it worked fine ? I’m actually wanting to get a realistic aircraft experience. Does the MCDU database up-to-date, and all of their buttons work ? Because some of them are inoperative in the default
@@redcapiano9544 Yes. I am no longer experiencing the same issues. MCDU is more advanced. Flight pad isn't as user-friendly but it still does everything you need. Maybe I'm just not used to it yet.
@@nicky6728 thanks 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for this I just got this sim and I love it but your tutorials are the best you have a new sub now❤❤❤❤
10:10 Kitty has entered the cockpit 😂
Thank you much for your great and very educative videos. I have one little thing, I don't get:
Regarding the trimming, you mention in 27:21 checklist, where you apprently read out that the trim for a ZFWCG of 24.3, the trim is UP 2. Whre may I find the mentioned Checklist?
Many thanks for your help!
Regards,
Eddeig
There's a checklist available to download on the flybywire website.
@@RealSimPilot Sorry for being so stupid, it was there in front of me all the time, but I didn't notice what was at the bottom of the page :-(
Again, many thanks!
Where can you find the checklist?
great video, really insightful - i'll be rewatching and walking myself through this, thank you
Thank you so much, this was what I needed to see. Very clear walkthrough. Notes have been taken :)
Geweldig. Echt bedankt. Ben druk aan het leren.
That's an amazing tutorial, thank you so much for the work here. Really helpful !
Thanks man, this is harder than i expected , i literally spent like 45 mins just turning on the air craft lol
Cant tell you how much this video has helped, thank you. One question though about pitch trim, after checking your ZFW on the MCDU in Fuel Pred how did you get the pitch trim from that? As you mentioned checklist but the checklist on the tablet doesnt say anything for me under pitch trim.
Indeed. I tripped here. Beginners don't know where to look for that.
I love your voice.
BEST video on TH-cam! You’re a legend thank you!
Hi :) How do you find ur first altitude limitation to set it up? I’m a total beginner
Would usually be on the standard instrument departure chart if there is a limit. Otherwise you're free to climb to your cruising altitude
coooolllll, like all, waiting for more episodes....
tnx
Thanks, this really got me going!
This is golden mate, please keep them coming!! 🤘👌💪
wow, gonna do this for the weekend. thanks man
Great content man, thanks for making this to all of us, as a suggestion for future videos I would equalize audio, the noise coming from your mice moving around is a little to loud.
Thanks so lot
This tutorial is amazing! I am having some issues with the MCDU, the W/B option is greyed out and unavailable. Curious if you ran into this at any point! Appreciate your content!
Since making the video it has moved to the EFB. W/B is now done on the FlyPad. Thanks for watching.
thanks for asking i had the same?
@@RealSimPilot hello where on the flypad. sorry im new to this
@@iallaway
Weight and Balance is now done via FBW's Flypad EFB
The fly pad is the tablet on the captains side. Weight and Balance should be the second or third navigation button (the little icons on the left), labeled "ground". Once on that page, there are buttons just below the top right, labeled fuel, payload, pushback and ground (I think). You start on ground.
Fuel is obvious, it fuels the aircraft (either in real time, "fast" or instantly)
pushback is the flybywire pushback tool
payload is for passengers and cargo (Also has the three speeds; real time, fast and instant)
Ground is for things like Jetbridge/Jetway connection, Catering, Baggage Truck etc.
There is an icon on the Fuel and Payload pages that looks like a cloud. That downloads the fuel numbers calculated by Simbrief (should you have linked it with a flight)
To start the fueling/boarding process, click the arrow (right facing, like this ->) on the respective pages. If you feel like its too fast or too slow, you can change the speed as you board.
Your weight and balance will change accordingly, both during and after the process. (Though for things like ZFW calculations I heavily recommend you wait for the plane to be completely full.)
@@Irrelevant-Individual Thanks for providing these details!
Just found this channel spot on mate. Thanks for this. Just one thing when you click on the sim brief airframe link, it doesn't go to the page you show it shows more links. Not sure what i need to click on to get the screen you did. Thanks very much.
It's no longer required as simbrief has the airframe profile available now. Choose A20N as your aircraft and then choose flybywire all versions as your variant.
@@RealSimPilot Yes sorted. Thank you.
Nice tutorial, great to hear a SA accent in MSFS2020 :)
Great video!
Just a quick question. When I program the MCDU, the weight/balance tab is dimmed and does not let me click on it. Do you know why and how do I fix it?
Same
same here.... any update?
@Vid Vlahek Well apparently this part of the mcdu programming is just loading the data into the simulator itself and not the aircraft, so I skipped this part and went straight for the "difsrip" stage of the programming. It made sense because the w/b had already been taken care for when loading the ofp parameters into the payload tab on the flight pad itself. Hope it helps.
Extremelly well video, thanks and thanks
Hello. Can you help me? Thanks for your video. I’m trying this for the first time. In your video at -19.51, I’m not seeing the same page as you. There’s no flight on the page. Also the option pages look different on my flypad. Thanks.
Very helpful, thanks and looking forward to more videos 🙃
outstanding! :)
very good video thank you but any idea why my flypad doesnt have the pilot id option to thesettings ?only have the hoppie thank you in advance
@@ApostolosFas it's moved to 3rd party options on the flypad
This is an amazing video to get started. Quick question - how did you determine the pitch trim?
Thanks fornl watching! There's a graph on the flybywire checklist at the bottom of the page. docs.flybywiresim.com/pilots-corner/SOP/
I don't have an option for weight and balance. Also when putting in my flight plan, it appears to be working good and connected properly, but when I'm in the air it takes me to a totally different place and follows some weird straight line plan that wasn't my selected plan.
did you ever figure this out? Im having the same issues now.
Where do you get the liveries for this aircraft?
Many thanks for the video
Hi
Great in depth video, I’m new to the FBW 320 and getting to grips with the setup but can you tell me how you manage to taxi so fluently? My nose wheel is slow to react and then all of a sudden turns sharply! I’ve read on FBW it’s because of the hydraulic system .. I use the thrust master captains pack and it’s fine on the other Airbus series . Thanks again
Thanks for watching.
Do you have rudder pedals? I use the twist axis on my flightstick mapped to the nosewheel tiller function separate from my rudder pedals.
docs.flybywiresim.com/fbw-a32nx/feature-guides/nw-tiller/
See if this guide helps.
Thanks for the reply , I’ve now managed to map all axis to the FBW and what a difference it makes when it’s done correctly, I’m now as good as you on taxi 😉 thanks again and your videos are great for getting people used to the FBW 320
How can i figure out what trim i need?
Really love the video, actually learned a bit, time to get flying.
I only have one question, on the MCDU i cant access the weight/balance it is greyed out?
Is there something i can do to fix it?
Thank you! It has moved to the Flypad. Use the EFB to do the weight and balance.
Thank you so much👍🏼
Your videos are well done ! - I wish it were that simple, I still have issues starting engines, and have been able to setup detents once, then never again. It just is wonky (is that the word) Like that Ryan Air jet spinning around on the tarmac.
I can still Fly and its great with the new Mini Cockpit device, although the Push to Manage doesnt seem to hold, I have to push then pull or the other way to get the buttons to work the way intended. I notice you didnt turn on the Radar for weather/terrain... and I cant find the Air Traffic setting .. I see yu had it on but didnt see the process.
Thanks again ! I decide to re watch yet more of your videos trying to nail down the Engine Start and other details of the FBW A320 sinsce MSFS is stil setting up rolling cache after 1 hours. gah!
Amazing video but one quick question. On the newest version of the A32NX there is no option under flypad or the AOC for adding your simbrief user ID.
It's moved to the flypad under 3rd party options
For some reason I dont have the W/B menu option visible at 14:45. Any ideas?
Same, did you find a fix?
@@LotusFlyer No I guess the FBW A320 was updated. It is already 2 years old video. I dont think the W/B menu is there anymore.
On my flight plan on sim brief there is no SID, any help?
where do i know wich pitch trim should I use?. Excelent job with this tutorial btw mate.
Read the ZFW as in the video and then read the value at the bottom of this checklist:
docs.flybywiresim.com/pilots-corner/assets/sop/A32NX%20Documentation/FBW%20A32NX%20Checklist.pdf
Where did you get the pushback pullbar application? That looks amazing
I used to use toolbar pushback but GSX is better
@@RealSimPilot Where do I get that?
@@Thekaiser2023 www.fsdreamteam.com/products_gsx.html
@@RealSimPilot Thank you
Can ‘sort o’ fly the 737, but been waiting for a beginner series on the airbus….. cheers
Looking at getting the 737. Never flown it. Perhaps a beginner tutorial for beginners by a beginner!
Do you have the flight plan for this route? I tried making my own but it plans a different router on SONE1Y. There are discontinuity's on the route that wont clear and I got stuck....
Brilliant!
This has absolutely helped but also confused me because before this I was using the atc toolbar thing and it seemed OK, but now I can't really use that at all.. Maybe it's meant to be like that but I'm abit concerned it won't recognise my flight properly.
Great video, thank you so much.... By the way, you sound South African😊
Thank you. Yes I am
great video thank you very much.......will be a big help
Thanks Very Much for the tutorial. I will be re-watching this and taking notes for quite a while. At 16:50 in the video is the boarding announcement part of the FlyByWire A32NX addon or is it a separate addon (if so which addon is it)?
It's part of the addon
Think we can have a 2024 refresh of the first half of the video? Some things in the instructions have changed, and I still can't seem to figure out how to download and connect everything....
Yes I need help too
Where did the liveries come from? Those were not installed for me by the FBW installer.
Amazing but how do you get the liveries
What is the add on for the pushback
@Christoph oder auch alle anderen da draußen ;) - was sagt ihr denn zur Interaktion zwischen den Spielern bei Voidfall?
Ich habe bis jetzt 3 Partien zu zweit kompetetiv gespielt. Tutorial (klar, maximal bei den Techs), Aggressivität 2 (auf dem Feld hab’s keine Berührungspunkte) und Aggresivität 3 (Es hätte einen Angriff geben können, aber nur in der/den letzten Runde/Zügen).
Eventuell wird es bei Aggressivität 4 besser? Ansonsten finde es leider doch sehr solistisch. Man muss maximal wegen einer Technologie mal schneller sein als die anderen…
Koop möchte ich auch demnächst testen. Da spielt man dann ja gezwungener Maßen mehr miteinander. ;)
this looks very similar to Aerosoft A320X. Is it related at all?
can you help me please. when i go on o the ipad in the plane there is no option for the simbrief id option what should i do ?
Hello, how did you get more things on the toolbar?
thank for this video, where i can find the pusch back?
hello, nice video! But in the page in the ipad, there is no option to the pilot user id so i cannot connect import my data from simbrief. Any fixes?
It's moved to Settings, 3rd Party options.
Do you use the navigraph form the fly pad?
Your videos are great! Can you tell me how to avoid A FLOOR and TOGA lock, there must be some trick on takeoff to avoid these conditions, any advice appreciated.
Make smaller inputs on the sidestick. Don't pitch up too high to create a high angle of attack and low airspeed. To get out of A.FLOOR pitch the nose down and increase airspeed. You can then reactivate the autopilot. To get out of TOGA lock disconnect the autothrust on the FCU set the throttle back to the Climb detent and reactivate the autothrust. You can then continue as normal.
@@RealSimPilot thank you!
@@RealSimPilot thank you so much for your help! Really lovin the A32NX I've got the hang of it now no more A FLOOR or TOGA lock!
Thank you so much for these 3 episode's on the a320 flybywire and also for positioning the overhead instruments in the center and not from a pilots angle where i was able to follow you on starting up in cold and dark. Thank you thank you thank you. Also how can i get liveries in my aircrafts and how do i download it into the aircraft
whats the link to make simbrief to work, this is outdated
You connect your simbrief account in the AOC menu on the Flypad EFB.
Hi i have a question for you ! why i have a dct departure from cyvr to calgary...i didnt try another flight plan but i wonder why i don't have a nice departure routing like you have here...
how did u get the PTU sounds at 25:57 ?
Sorry I have one more question. Can you get the VOR and flight ceiling restriction from your sim brief or is that only a navigraph capability?
That's from the navigation data or airac which comes with MSFS and does get updated with the sim updates.
I got a problem with this plane, when I release parking brake, to taxi, it’s starting move by himself, I am doing nothing but it’s move, can you help me please?
That’s just what it does, you just have to use the brakes :)
@@yolocation alright, thanks! :)
All aircraft do that. Thats why parking brake exists..
Nice tutorial. I just can’t get the iPad in the plane. I just got this game
only thing not covered with the loading into the tablet is what do we download on simbrief to make it load up im still lost on this
The weights and balances seems to have shifted to the EFB flypad.
@Peter Bread For new experimental version can't use on MCDU. You have to use the tablet.
Do you need a throttle and joystick?
I find myself very curious what equipment you are using to play MSFS while on an actual plane haha
even after i put the right amount of fuel in the flypad when i go to the mcdu after initializing the flt pln the W/B is greyed out for some reason. Also, I am not seeing altitude changes in the flight plan on the MCDU. I see the cruise altitude and the landing altitude but nothing in between.
Thank you for tutorial. But i have 2 questions.
1. How to zoom display like that when you check the flight plan.
2. What your pushback tool ??
😁😁
To zoom just scroll the mouse wheel.
Toolbar pushback from flightsim.to
I mean zoom like windowed 18:17
@asrilanhar1731 oh press the right ALT key and click on the display you wish to pop out.
