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!

What sort of jackass would “thumb down” this video? This is why we can’t have nice things... I’ve been flight simming since flight sim 98 and I’ve learned more by watching your videos for the last few months than I have in the last 20+ years. Thank you for your time, and the obvious care and effort that you put towards this channel. I am very grateful for the knowledge that you are sharing with us. Although I’m in the US, I hope I get the opportunity to have you as my captain some day!
Are you a member of The Captains Discord group? I can honestly give it a 5* recommendation. It’s members are like minded people who love flying, and the majority of them have forgotten more about the technical side of computing and related swimming than I shall ever know.
I'll tell you who. You know the people who smirk or laugh when someone randomly falls over in the street, them. Why do they like creating negativeness? Well to understand this you gotta go quite far down conspiracy lane, but essentially the wild kid who runs rampant screaming wears down the adult looking after him far/her far quicker than himself. The energy transfer is real. If they can't get any, they will not like it.
What a great Teacher - you will inevitably end up as a training Captain. I have no doubts!!
Thanks John!
My thoughts exactly! Very informative video, thank you!
Now this is highly appreciated! What a great video. Finally someone that manages to explain charts in a calm and informative fashion. I've always found reading charts as quite a struggle. A lot of the other videos rush through it and just assumes the viewer knows half of the terminology and chart details from before. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming :)
That is great to hear, thanks for the feedback. I will be doing more videos soon to cover the other charts!
Great video. Another topic I’d like discussed would be atc communications. There’s some tutorials out there but not many.
Agreed
As always I learnt a “little something extra” I didn’t fully appreciate before watching the tutorial. I’ve said it many times before, but your intuitive unhurried form of delivery makes understanding the more involved sections of the tutorial easy to follow........and hopefully some of may even sink in🤓👍
Thanks Vutti! Really appreciate it.
Better at teaching than most of the teachers at my school, amazing vid mate!
Brilliant, I wish I could give more than one like!
Thank you, glad you liked it!
The two thumbs down had their monitors upside down.... Great stuff as usual I learn a ton from you. Thank you!
Thanks Capt!
Congrats on your 40k milestone! Bravo!
Thank you very much Tango Delta!
Great content, as usual! A note on the Automatic Changover/handoff at Schiphol on vatsim: most controllers will give you the opportunity to switch to departure yourself, but will otherwise tell you to contact departure if you're getting well above 2000 ft as we're aware most people don't always read this line on their charts. So that's no issue but you definitely get bonus points if you do it yourself! For arrival charts you can use Schiphol as well if you revisit this point because there's also auto handoff between tower and ground after arriving.
Thanks Adriaan! Great info there about VATSIM AMS, we shall have to visit again soon!
thanks again for all your teaching. Excellent explanation, as always.
My pleasure!
Another soothing video, and a milestone of 40k subscribers passed. To 50k and beyond! Congratulations!
Thank you Thor! Really appreciate it and your support.
Haven't watched the video yet but here I am thanking you for the video.
This is all such valuable insight.... I've been flying flight sims for thirty-five years, but I've always played a bit of a guessing game about correct practice. Here, at last, is an easy-to-understand lesson in how real-world pilots get planes off the ground! Thank you so much for everything you do.
Really well explained!👍 This was worth the pain of editing.😉
Congrats on the 40k!!🥳
Thanks Andreas! This one was a particular process but great to hear it was worth it.
This has been an excellent overview, together with your live streams where you talk about your gameplan, this is very useful info. Thank you for taking the time to do these. :)
Thanks, great to hear it has been useful!
I would like to see those LOC/VOR approach tutorials too
Congrats on 40k! Keep going!
Thanks Capt! Will do!
Hello 320 Sim Pilot! I'll try to make this as short as possible. Your tutorials and videos are simply brilliant! As a private pilot in real life (although I have not flown in many years due to financial reasons), I am currently training to fly the A320 neo using the dev FBW mod on MFS 2020 thanks to your videos on UA-cam and it has been very very helpful and enjoyable too. I just can't get enough! I am not getting my 8 hours sleep at night and it's all your fault lol. I find that flying the Airbus itself in general is quite easy but the hardest for me at this time is to program the MCDU the proper way before flying as I have never really used it before but I am slowly getting the hang of it thanks to you! I also do enjoy when you mention all sort of little details about your real life experiences as a professional pilot, it's also what gives you the edge as people who are passionate about aviation want to know all about what's it like in the real world. Hmmmmm that wasn't too short was it? :o) A huge thank you for everything you're doing!!! Please do keep the videos coming! Hoping that you will get back in the air ASAP ;-)
Thank you very muck for the excellent video, as usual! Very informative and very helpful as well!
Glad you enjoyed it Marcelo!
I was just thinking last night after signing up for Navigraph charts, "I wish 320 Sim Pilot would make a video on charts." And BOOM! Here it is! Thanks for the clear & concise videos as always! I'm looking forward to any future videos about STAR charts, or anything else you might throw at us.
Great minds think alike! Glad you liked it, more to come soon.
Seriously, I really appreciate the hard work you put into these videos! I am trying to learn more about how to start up the plane and set things over just casually flying them when I have the time. Again, when I have the time due to work and life.
Thank you Patrick, I hope you get some time to enjoy the 'bus!
Great content - glad it's back. I had the original "saved" so was quite disappointed when I went to re-watch it and it had gone! All's well now!!
Thanks for your consistently interesting videos - I'm looking forward to the next one already!!
Yes this one has been a special case but finally it is up hopefully to stay this time! Thanks for watching and glad you liked it Geoff.
Another incredibly helpful video - thank you!
You are welcome, thanks as always Codeco!
Can't wait for the next one on STARs and approach. Thanks. Been using Navigraph for a while now, yet few great things learnt today. Keep it going.
Great video as always. Can't wait for the next charts video. Thank you so much.
You are welcome Marcel!
Yess we got to 40k subs! Huge congrats captain! 🎉👏👏
Thanks Capt, really appreciate it! Thanks for being here from the start.
Amazing video. I have seen some others, but really this was a very clear explanation and explained in the more simple way for everyone to understand. Of course you need to have a minimun understanding on intruments management, but beyond that is very easy to learn from. Thank you for sharing this !!!
Thanks to your videos I’m confident that when the flight attendant asks, yes I can fly the plane! :) (not really)
Thank you for all your great content and live streams! Cheers,
You are welcome Marc! Thanks for watching.
I'm not a real life pilot, and I winged a lot of trying to fly the A320neo just using guess work, common sense, and a lot of trial and error. But your videos really helped me improve my understandings on flying.
Thanks, mate! :-)
Great to hear they have helped, thanks Dan!
5:34, he's got some Swiss 001 in him
40k subs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎊🎉✨🎉Congrats 320simpilot! Well deserved for the simple to follow but really useful tutorials!
Thanks Kai!
Super and straight forward lecture learned a lot and enjoyed you covered so much in a short time thanks Jens
You are welcome Jens!
Thanks for this! Just getting into VATSIM and it's quite the learning curve...
Cracking tutorial - I’ve been really looking forward to these, so thanks for making them 👍
I'll be watching this tonight. Hopefully participating in another live stream in the near future as well!
Hope you enjoy it Phil and look forward to catching you on a live soon!
Great video! Now time to bite the bullet on a Navigraph subscription!
Glad you liked it Ben!
congrats on 40k!
Thanks Jelle!
Again extremely interesting and well explained. Thanks!
Glad you liked it Hans!
Amazing as usual 👍👍
Great presentation. Thanks
Loved the video. I would actually enjoy watching you fly a SID with a Cessna.
Absolutely great tutorial, thank you.
You're very welcome!
Quite excited to see the next video in the Charts series, expecting the Approach charts as promised in the SID charts video. Very disappointed to see it is the old video, reuploaded.
Hi Ian, this video had to be changed slightly. I have left the title the same so hopefully people will see which topic it is. The other videos will be made in due course.
@@320SimPilot Fair enough, it would have been helpful to note that in the title or description though. Just out of interest, what did you need to change?
Another great video
Given that MSFS 2020 still isn't representing some elements of LNAV and VNAV correctly, might I suggest using the Toliss A321 for the Approach Chart video. Otherwise, great stuff as usual.
the general crowd that have end up here are from the msfs world so it makes sense trying to showcase as much as possible from there. if you check out many of the other videos from this channel you'll notice a lot of in depth videos with the toliss in xplane. it's highly promoted already.
Amazing video's. Is there also a video on stars? When I started playing flight sim (fs2004) I always evaded airports surrounded by elevated terrain because I had no idea how to fly a safe approach.
Hi Don, thank you! I do not have a STARS video yet but I will be doing one soon.
Excellent. I "kind of" understood the charts before this but I now understand I didn't :-) What *really* makes the difference in this tutorial is not so much what is written on the chart - it's about the details of the departure process ie. how altitudes are controlled and what controllers are likely to do. Can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to the STAR equivalent as that is where things get busy and I can get behind the aircraft. When it's time to do the approaches it would make my day if you could use EGLL 9L/9R from LAM as I find it near impossible to make the descents to intercept level if I adhere to restrictions... LAM30 shows as 7000 (MHA) and within a very short time we step down 6000 to 3500 to 3000 and based on the 3/1 ratio I don't see how it's possible.... I get that controllers will give probably better vectors IRL but presumably the procedure is the fallback in the absence of instruction.
As always another very informative video and I hope that with further viewing I will understand how to read charts better. It has raised an old issue for me in respect of constraints. I am concentrating on the FBW A320 Leap and I can't get my head around what I need to do to get the aircraft to follow the constraints programmed in the flight plan in the MCU because the aircraft just continues to cruise altitude even in managed mode. There must be something I am missing.
Hi! Awesome video! I was wondering how to read these charts. This tutorial helped me out a lot! Do you have a tutorial on how to read STAR charts? Thanks!
Thank you - excellent stuff
Very welcome!
Hi great vids😁, any way can you make video about ILS Y and ILS Z with circling? Bcs sometimes we’ll little bit confusing landing in airport that had that ILS option. Thanks👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you very much for this great video. I very much enjoy listening to your explanations. I have question regarding approaches, if you don't mind: do you have a choice to select between RNAV and ILS, or will the tower decide based on weather etc?
Can be specified in the ATIS/NOTAM or you request which one you want upon initial contact. Also ILS is precision and a lower MDA.
I tried charts but I think they are a pain to use because there are so much pages. I never know what page I need. I now use little NavMap. This is really nice. All deparures and approaches are in there (it can also talk to Xplane and f.i. track your plane (but I do not use that). You use the airports an departure and approace. I does fuelplanning, gives radio frequenties, weather info etc. And it is freeware.
Great fan of the channel, and learned so much here. You made me try out the proper SID and STAR ways :) I got a question though (for whoever possibly knows). I performed a flight from Frankfurt to Cairo in the 32NX , planning it all manually into the computer up including correct take off and SID. When arriving at last proper waypoint I listened to Cairo ATIS for active runway to configure the FMS with the appropriate STAR. Then the lovely message that MSFS stopped working. Hate that when youre nearly there, Would this be a system issue on my side (PC specs, although running i7/32 RAM/1070gfx), or just a glitch in the program (live settings, online real weather etc). Guess anyone's guess is as good as mine :(
Hey mate thanks for the tutorial! Was hoping you might be able to cover in the next video how to program holding patterns in flight if this is possible in the A32NX at the moment. Thanks!
That taxi line at 2:00 made me depressed.
Yes I am not sure what happened to it there!
Hi 320SimPilot, clear tutorial! Just one comment/question, why are the high restrictions not programmed with the SID in the MCDU? Saw that the LON restrictions are on 2100. Thanks!
This was super helpful although one thing I still have no clue on is NaDP. I look at the side and airport briefings from navigraph but cannot find where it says if I should use NaDP1 or 2. If you could advise on that I would really appreciate it
many thanks to you for your useful tutorials . I would like to know what the most accurate SID or approach in real world flight is: IRS ? GPS ? RNAV with raw data. massive thank you for your answer
Firstly, I love your videos! I started as a complete novice but am learning more and more from you and am loving the world of flight simulations.
I’m a bit confused though as the altitude constraints shown on my charts are different to what Flight Simulator shows when pressing the constraints button. Is there a way to change those constraints in the MCDU to match what my chart is telling me so that the Airbus follows those constraints in managed climb?
Hi mate, I’m just getting into MSFS and been watching many of your videos recently. I just need to ask, what’s the difference between navigraph and simbrief and how do I apply this to the onboard navigation to give me my waypoints during departure phase of the flight?
Did I hear you mention something about VNAV not working on MSFS 2020? Let me put on my surprise face :)
Please please please do an arrival video
Please do the dame video for approach Charts
congratulations on FL400!
LOVE U SIRRRR
When you set the autopilot to 250 kts, isn't there potentially some error in there where the plane could fly a few knots quicker. Are they pretty loose about it?
Hi, been meaning to ask you for ages, how do you get the navigraph overlay up on your screen? Thanks.
I don't get it why those chart reading videos are constantly being deleted and re-uploaded. What's going on?!
Had a few issues with the original video, this is now sorted. I hope you enjoyed it.
@@320SimPilot I absolutely loved it as all your other videos! Thank you for your time :)
There’s a great website called SimBrief which generates a full flight plan for you for free. It has full routing and all
Yes although unless you have a paid Navigraph subscription, it's using a different airac to the game.
@@SirGosht In short, useless.
@@nickde6339 I still use it even though not everything aligns.
How do they come up with 710ft for the no turns restriction?
I don't know if there is other charts I can use instead of Navigraph on mobile since it is so bugged.
How to trove the course of departure airport ?
Whereas a good place to get charts from, very interesting video.
If you considering flying a lot and especially on vatsim, the paid service of Navigraph is well worth it in my opinion. But there are tons of places on the internet that you can get charts for free, even though the're probably not as accurate as the Jeppesen one's from Navigraph
Navigraph is amazing as you can link the charts to MSFS and know exactly where on the chart the plane is. Very handy for sids and stars
Are Navigraph charts synced with current real charts? Or they are real, but not necessarily the current charts for a certain airport?
@@nickde6339 The data they use is up to date with the current AIRAC (you also get updated nav data), but for flight sim use only i.e. correct to the point peoples lives are at stake :) +1 to recommending them if you fly Vatsim or similar (or like realism), best add on I've bought.
@@nickde6339 They are real and in line with the latest ARIAC. They do have "not for real world usage" stamped on them just because Navigraph want to cover themselves legally but it's the full set of charts including things like parking stand processes and a lot more that a lot of products just don't include.
They also include navigation fix updates for all the sims out there.
In short, it's everything!
I have a question. Are you having issues with the TCA throttle with the newest custom fbw update? I just figured it out and now it is the same as before I redid the calibration file under work but to no avail. Any suggestions?
I got the same problem. After fbw introduced a new installer for their aircraft, and I used it to update to the last experimental version, the thrustleaver settings got all wrong. Idle is now at full revers?? I see that in the «Comunity» folder, the A32NX has gotten an all new name. It also looks like they no longer uses the «ThrottleConfig.ini» file in the «Works» folder anymore, so there is no way to adjust the leavers. At least, not that I know of 😀
@@chaophraya8003 Yep same. Maybe I am wrong but I still have the throttle config thing but it has no effect. Replaced the text and everything. I’m sure there will be an update but was just wondering if 320simpilot mnew anything cause it seems like he has early access to updates.
@@chaophraya8003 I recently purchased the officer pack. The same happened to me, I was so baffled and just could not figure out what was happening. I ended up calibrating the thing like 5 or 6 times and uninstalling and reinstalling the firm ware and drivers. After doign this, it still did not work, as I lunched the sim, and the dents still would not match, only the TO/GO detent. Then I once again, closed the sim, calibrated it AGAIN, and then lunched the sim again, and it magically works now. Pretty sensitive from idle to climb, I will have to check that, but the detents now match. To be honest, that is all I did, but I still have NO idea what the issue really was, or what fixed it... I just tried and tried.
I want to add, I also initially followed FBWs recommendation, changing the text within the throttle file and what not, and it never worked. I can say, that after redownloading the firmware, custom FBW version and calibrating repeatedly, as I said above, I lunched it, and at that point, I lunched it without even having replaced that text. It worked, so I thought: Ok, I will just leave it as it is now... At least it works now...for unknown reasons.
What you need to do is edit the throttle.ini file that was created in your setup and change the value of Climb_Detent from 0.06 to 0.01. When I did that, my climb detent matched in the sim and on the hardware. The docs on the throttle.ini file are not helpful tbh
Did I break the rules? Because of this video I answered 'Yes' when my FI asked if I had any familiarity with charts.
A question to the RMA Charts. Sometimes I see two altitudes, one of them in brackets. What does it stand for?
Are you referring to the "MDA (DH)" notation where MDA is barometric altitude whereas DH is radio altimeter height above ground?
Can you manually add those waypoints into the MCDU (Ex. LON6A) or is the only way to add them by specifying the SID?
It is possible to type them in on the real aircraft but you almost never need to. The MSFS navigation system is not able to deal with that properly yet however.
A shame that the altitude restrictions are incorrect in MSFS and there is no way to edit them when they are part of a procedure.
Yes I agree, I really hope to see this improve!
3rd video? whats happening the old ones were good
Hi this is the same video but the middle section has been re recorded and the charts are now hopefully bigger and clearer. There were a few issues with the original.
Hello, 320.
I have a question for you, though it is rather irrelavent. (I have no idea what the actual spelling or irrelevent is, CLEARLY) but here's the question: Why are the throttle levers on the Airbus called a quadrant even though we have only 2 levers? Thanks.
I always assumed it is because the angular movement of the levers is about 90°, hence a quadrant of a full circle
@@AC-rn1ch hmmm... could be. could be.
@Dave N Thanks.
Perhaps you guys could tell me the correct spelling of irrelavant?
I know this is late in saying but is there any good free charts or maps for simulators
Chartfox is a good example but you would need a VATSIM accounr for it.
oh its the same vid .. obviously been an issue with uploads.. still good though.
Thanks! Yes the middle part was re filmed but intro and outro the same, thanks for watching!
me who uses US charts 👀
Ain’t that the truth, we get 2 turns in our sids and we get excited
