    I am a real world Airline pilot with thousands of hours flying the real aircraft and thought it would be fun to have a look at the detailed simulations of airliners in MSFS and X Plane. Hopefully you find this useful and it brings another perspective to your simulation. Any thoughts or comments are welcome!

    You can choose the flight levels you want for the wind data request. When in the LEGS page ready to load the wind data, just click on the right (on any waypoint), then type whatever flight levels you want on the left side (you can choose up to 4 flight levels). After that, just load the wind data.

    A fascinating and very informative video - not sure if it is because it's all new to an Airbus simmer but many things just feel unnecessarily complicated in the Boeing in comparison. Even the parking brake requires two actions instead of one. But on the flip side I did spot one or two features that would be handy in the bus.

    • @320SimPilot
      @320SimPilot  Місяць тому +2

      Thank you so much! When you go far enough North you would change the HDG REF (below the Captains Screens) to TRUE. There are a lot of other procedures but you end up flying in 'Grid' navigation which is a bit difficult to explain here. I may discuss it in future! I hope this helps a bit.

    Why would entering your arrival STAR & Runway mess up your sequencing if you do this before departure? If the waypoints in the FMC are in the correct order where is the possibility of it going wrong? Also doesn’t entering the STAR make a DISCONTINUITY in the FMC which kind of separates those Waypoints away from the main route? Hope that makes sense 😂

  • @hs1296
    @hs1296 Місяць тому

    I saw it on another tutorial that the STAR and Arrival Runway are to be entered per the flight plan, so that the fuel predictions can be vetted (for the majority) of the flight. Goes directly against what you just said there. Hmm... :)

    Moving to real life, it has been suggested to me that the cockpit is the worst place to be in the plane with regards to humidity, i.e. it has the driest air. Is the difference noticeable, and does it cause nasal and/or sinus problems?

    How on earth does one assign a joystick button to (for example) opening the speed window on the MCP? (IRL, pushing the speed knob) Same applies for the ALT knob, track/hdg select etc. Things like TOGA and A/P disconnect etc are MSFS standard commands, but I've tried all others in MSFS for those functions, and nothing worked. I don't have anything like FSUIPC (and don't want it).
    Are those controls bind-able at all? Didn't the older PMDG modules for FSX use to have a separate control bindings app?

    I follow the tutorial but when cruising the aircraft struggles to reach the cruise and starts to lose speed even in managed climb an example the fmc is wanting to climb to 31,000 the aircraft reaches 28,000 and the engines are running at 100%

      When you rotate the heading knob it points to a new direction. On the old stream gauge aircraft that was a small "bug" on the circumference of the instrument showing the "bugged" heading. Look at the MSFS Cessna 172 (not the G1000 version) to see "bugs" on the directional gyro. Basically they are reminders you can set. The 742 had speed bugs you set to remind you about flap speeds.
