As I mentioned in your 0.5.x video, you're the reason I started working on the A32NX. In fact, your RNP video is what pushed me to implement this feature. I'm currently rewriting the FCU from scratch which will solve some of the issues that it currently has (such as not being able to command a vertical speed without changing the altitude first). It might even fix not being able to select a track with the approach mode on like you showed in this video. By the way, can you be more specific regarding the aircraft reverting out of TRK/FPA during a go-around? Might be another thing I have to implement!
Thank you for your amazing work on the project and I’m really pleased to hear your kind words! It’s great to know the videos have helped in their own small way! The FPV is a fantastic addition and the new FCU sounds like it will be a great improvement. On approach if selecting TOGA and entering a go around phase the Bird will be removed, SRS AND GA TRK FD bars will be restored automatically. Hope this helps! Thanks again.
I hear "five" quite often... but not becuase my landings are so smooth, I just float down half the runway and then plonk it down :D not ideal, especially because he keeps repeating "five" and everytime I get more nervous as I'm running out of runway :D
Great tutorial, if you're not already training pilots on the 320 its obviously something you'd excel at, having trained 1000's of sim pilots already. Great instructional technique, by far the best YT sim pilot channel out there. BZ
It is amazing, looking at the development from the beginning to where we are now, and the fact that it's a community mod. And as always, you do a great job of breaking it down for non-pros like myself. Cheers.
OH! waking up and there is a new a320 video of yours...this is going to be a good morning :) Anyway i just want to say,the community it's so lucky to have such a competent and humble real world pilot for feedback on this project.
Just wow, again an excellent video tutorial. I really like how you explain how (!) these systems should work and when/how to use it. Helps me understands what is going on with the plane etc. Thank you very much sir, allready looking forward to your future video’s. Cheers!
Thanks for this - it's so useful! Had an autopilot glitch the other day when ATC assigned me a STAR inbound to Glasgow. The A32NX autopilot wanted to turn me around back to RIBEL so had to navigate manually using the heading bug. All the way in, I was making minute corrections to my heading due to wind, but if I'd used the bird it would have been much easier. Happy days!
That will need a second watch tomorrow, after the brain has mulled this over during the night's sleep! Looking forward to the future various non-precision approach tutorials using the bird.
Great job from the people of Flybywire, slowly but surely this is getting a serious model. Let's hope the next update will be TOD (MCDU predictions and pseudo waypoints).
Is Direct - To a waypoint broken in the A32NX ? Whenever I go direct to a waypoint, it leaves all the old waypoints up to that waypoint still on the display.
@@320SimPilot maybe you have already done this and I missed it but if not could you do a video about missed approach procedure and hold pattern? Thanks in advance!!!
Thanks for the heads up! Have you tried their development version with their own FBW model implemented? If not, please do and let me know how it compares to stock!
Very brilliant explanation. I have a question. Regarding the track use, the FPV symbol( the bird) is always vertically lined up with the green diamond in the bar at the bottom of PFD? According to that in case of landing with lateral wind, specifically in non precision approach, would be better to have TRK/FPA always activated?
Thanks for the video. Good explanation. I have a question about normal law. If you are straight and level with the autopilot off and you command 30 degrees of bank, will the airplane begin to lose altitude or will it automatically put in the 1.15 g's or so that are required for level flight at that bank angle?
@@737simviator i think for me It Will be beneficial since i dont have a big screen and i can't see very good instrument displays if I want to have a good view outside. Thank you!
Hey thank you so much for your videos. Have you considered giving the CJ4 mod from Working Title a try. I can tell you it's superb and the best plane mod together with the FlyByWire one.
I usually understand most of your videos completely but in this one I feel a little bit lost still after watching it twice. I get how it works, I'm more confused on which scenarios it's good. What makes it a better alternative in those scenarios? I guess I just don't see why it's such a praised feature yet.
Can you do a video about handflying an airbus (In XPlane11) ? I know it is "not done" but I like it a lot (incl old school radio navigation) I almost never use AP and I find it very difficult in the Airbus . I think due to the "laws". The automated systems for attitude make it relaxed to fly but often I end up fighting them for control. I have no problems with any Boeing (IXEG 737, FF 767, FlyJSim 727 and 737) But I struggle with the Tollis A319 and even more with FF A350 . (often AT kicks in without I notice it, that results somehow in overspeeding and then the plane starts to pitch up and I end up in space with throttle at idle ;-) I think the bird could be handy for this, I will try that first in the Toliss)
Mr 320 Sim Pilot, many thanks for your excellent training videos. I would like to fly in your live event so please share when the next one will occur. Also, please advise, when should I activate the approach in the MCDU/ Thank you, Sir. RS
Great bird tutorial explained perfectly needs a second watch for me, can you use the bird for a circle hold pattern if so can you do a tutorial on this in the future thanks in advance
What are your average FPS when using the A32NX mod? is there any settings that really influence the fps for the mod, cause I get a 60% drop compared to the normal A320.
They are working on features first before optimisations, although it is on their roadmap. In the meantime reducing instruments refresh rate helps a lot.
It varies but on the flight deck it can go as low as 25 fps. I can gain a few (3 maybe 4) FPS by settings instrument refresh rate to low but I usually leave it on medium. I am CPU bottlenecked with an i7-10700K and RTX 3080.
Great video, and very informative as all your videos are, but, can I ask a question, how do you enlarge an instrument eg MCDU or PFD? Would it be possible to open the MCDU and move it to a different screen?
Great tutorial as ever. I have a question about flying the RNAV APP. I get one loaded and then as I get near to the critical point of starting the procedure, my FMC asks me (in orange type) to Enter Destination Details. These are already in the flight plan. If I re-enter the correct Rwy with the RNAV app, the rest of the flight plan goes belly up 🤨. I’ve tried to fly an overcast app into LOWI ( I know, nothing if not adventurous) but without much success. Any thoughts? BTW, missed the fact that the addition of the ‘bird’ wasn’t freely available. Can I ask that you mention which update you’ve got the addition from. I’ve looked in the GitHub notes but can’t see it referenced exactly.
Sim pilot has already done one....it’s on Tube. Now all we need is an ATC system that’s good enough to use the holding system. I’ve spent hours in real life going round in circles over Heathrow in another life 😂
I have bought this game yesterday. Now I realized they didn't add an arrow for descent There is some some white arrow but I can not get what's that use for since it's not on TOD. No mention there is no blue arrow for prediction descent. Any tips?
Hi Alexander, I use OBS for recording, the GeForce FPS counter was captured because I had to use desktop record instead of window capture this time, but it was not meant to be there! Thanks for watching as always!
Ah yes.... This would have been very helpful on my 28kts cross wind landing at VVCS last night... I was full rudder left at 133kts. Not the smoothest landing XD but everyone lived...
Hi everybody out there. I was very impressed of the presentation of the bird feature. But I couldn't get it to work in my MSFS Version. Just before I had the chance to download and install the stable 0.5.2 version of the 320neo mod, MS automatically installed the January Update. Also the Simbrief Integration on my system worked only once. Since the December Update - a few days before christmas - I have not been able to call up a flight plan using the request button on the FMC. Am I doing something wrong or is this a known problem?
In cruise and on flight path with airways assigned, does the AP automatically adjust heading to have a correct track/course? Without using the track function. Track is same as course, right?
It is still a bit sensitive in the flare, I still float when using it. I am hoping this is fixed soon, possibly in the latest release. I need to test it out! Best advice so far is just raise the nose a couple of degrees and hold it there, with idle thrust it will settle on the runway.
Is anyone else having a problem with the A320 in msfs 2020? It has happened to me twice now that I have been flying IFR in the A320 and it will suddenly nose dive towards the ground without warning. The first time this happened was right after I departed out of Atlanta and was climbing to 20,000ft from 10,000ft, and at 12,000ft my plane suddenly dived towards the ground, the autopilot disconnected and I tried to pull up but I was going vertical downwards at 400 knots. The second time was when I was already in cruise at 30,000ft, I had been in cruise for about ten minutes and the same thing happened without warning. I am using the A320nx mod but I’m not sure if it’s a problem with that or the default aircraft. If anyone could help by letting me know it would be greatly appreciated!
Was this the first flight of the day, or after a "turnaround"? Such misbehaviour of the plane happens much more often in a second flight in my experience.
I have issues running the mod properly, I think I need to try the developer build, because the stable one just doesn’t work for me when I spawn at an airport, everything is dark, I have no EXT PWR available, and when I switch on the BAT1 and BAT2 nothing happens, I just have a dark cockpit, I can turn on the lighting in the cockpit, but the screens do not work, I don’t know, I’ll try the developer build later today To add as well, I get like a consistent beep in the cockpit, which is not the normal sound you expect after switching on the batteries, it’s just a persistent beeping sound, I guess somethings wrong, but I can’t figure it out. When I spawn in the air, everything is fine, but I mean, I always used to do stand to stand flights, not starting on the runway, AND even that is faulty, I spawn on runway only to have a lot of things completely incorrectly set up, either I’m stupid or somethings messed up in the mod, and I did use A320 flight sim add ons for years, so I feel like the A318s-A321s are my cup of tea

How and when do you know to change the altimeter barometric pressure to Std?
Each area has a certain transition altitude at which the local QNH changes to the Std mode (1013)
When you pass or will be passing the transition altitude which varies for each country. In the USA it’s 18000ft
Do you still fly in real life?
