Thanks for your tutorials, they are very very useful! At least they made me realize why I prefer flying the 737 NG over the A320; the former is a lot more "crude" but also more intuitive, whereas the Airbus is a lot more sophisticated.
I love the 737 NG but I love the A320 Neo too. I find these two planes very similar but different in technology. The A320 has push buttons instead of switch and the MCP has push/pull rotaries. In the end it's the same but the way to do it is different. I know it's not perfectly clear sorry.
@Renato unREAL I think it's the same amount of work. I don't find any real difference in work amount. For the speed, the 737 is even less "complicated". You press the TOGA button to take off and the autopilot take care of the climb speed when you activate it.
Just found your tutorial series as I’m starting to explore the Airbus in MSFS. I must say your videos are very good for non-pilots yo learn from. Perfect level of detail. Hopefully Asobo or the 320 mod team engages you to help improve the realism of the aircraft.
It's amazing the little differences between aircraft. I have never actually flown an airbus in sim before. I pretty well exclusively flew the 737NG. I came here because my buddy has been bugging me to fly with him on sim and has only flown airbus. There is a lot to like on the airbus, I love the info you get on the ecam display, the way the faults are displayed and checklists can be ran with it. That autothrottle though I think I like the Boeing better. I like that all I have to do is flip the autothrottle arm switch, select an autothrottle mode, and let it do its thing. I like how on takeoff I just set the takeoff setting or derate I want in the fmc and hit the TO/GA button once lined up and stabilized and let it do its thing, and I love that the throttles move so I can easily see what the autothrottle is doing. Anyway thanks for the tutorials, I can't wait to get some Airbus time, maybe after that I'll have a different opinion. 😁
Thanks for making this video, I am somewhat familiar with the A320neo from other sims but still found this tutorial very helpful and learned a few new things. Really looking forward to more content!
Thank you for another great video! To other newbies like me: I can highly recommend 320 Sim Pilot X-Plain A321 Toliss tutorials. I know it's XP, but if you look past that, there is a lot to learn about Airbus and how stuff works - even if the MSFS is currently not close to the Toliss standard.
Learnt so much in 22 minutes. I was ..... well God knows what I was doing ..... but is was so wrong. Having a better understanding of the climb thrust, TOGA and idle with the auto-thrust is going to make my A320 landings so much smoother. Thanks for the tutorial. 👍
For the outside camera, try setting it to a higher focal length, while moving the camera further from the airplane. That will much more look like real footage from a chasing plane.
Some of the best tutorials on FSM.. no doubt. Clearly explained. Could you do a step by step walk through (that us amateurs can follow) on a short flight (the LGW to LHR was good, but a bit too short?).. also the airbus landing challenges - e.g how to do them well !??
As per usual another awesome video 👏👍 I didn't have a clue on using the airbus till I started to watch your videos now im starting to get my head around it. I have the thrustmaster TCA pack in order with the throttle quadrant so that should help with immersion slightly. Keep up the videos though :)
Great informative videos, gives a good insight to what is involved in the Captains seat, even though so much more involved in the real world.. thanks 👍
Great video as always. Around 18:22 min in you say that is important to know which it is between speed and climb thrust. When do you use the different modes and what is the logic usually used IRL? Thanks for an answer and keep on uploading these greats tutorials, really help's me to be a better sim pilot
Tried this plane for the first time today and wondered why it wouldn't stop going faster and faster, turning off auto thrust solved that problem, now this video pops up and i'm looking forward to finding out why.
Awesome tutorial! I love it! By the way when do we use the thrust in Auto position ? (A/THR) It seems it is basically always in CL position. Thank you very much indeed for all your lovely videos.
Thank you Carlos! Great question, we don't really ever use that. By setting it to CL we are telling the autothrust to work and use a maximum of climb thrust. If you move the thrust levers lower than CL then the autothrust will be limited to the position the thrust levers are in (and in the real aircraft you would get a warning). It doesn't have much use! We only really put the thrust levers in that range when we are using manual thrust. Hope this helps!
I'm curious. Why do you always say that it's not for real world use? Do you mean that you need to know tons of extra stuff (and training) in order to fly safely in the real world _or_ that it's not accurate enough and real world airbus would react differently? And since you are a pilot I think this would be an interesting topic for a future video
It's a common disclaimer that even Microsoft will have somewhere in their legal documents for the game. It simply says that these tutorials are not intended for real-world use and should not be used for training purposes with which to base any knowledge of the real-world aircraft or aviation. While the systems being discussed may reflect those in the real-world, and he is clearly very experienced with the aircraft, he cannot legally advertise that these tutorials are designed to help you train for the real-world asset. While he could omit the disclaimer, it's always best to include it as a form of legal protection and so he does just that.
The A320 NEO has a $110.6 million entry price tag, any $100 simulator made for entertainment cannot possibly fully replicate real world aircraft/procedures/pilot training. He says the disclaimer therefore to stop any of the toxic suing culture from trying to get money from him if they try to fly/operate the real aircraft after watching this video then fail! This is however an awesome set of video tutorials by '320 Sim Pilot' for an outstanding sim, I for one can't wait for the A32NX to expand and other 'study level' aircraft be introduced.
Another Great Video! What seems annoying, though, is that the software seems to have so many bugs! All you hear „what it should say now“ and „this is not what the real aircraft would do“. Disappointing! But great, that these bugs are uncovered!
Very nice tutorial as usual it would have been a good opportunity to speak about auto thrust behavior in case of stall speed, I'm maybe wrong but I suppose large portion of questions you got about autothrottle were linked to bad experience of autothrust who triggers 100% load in middle of nowhere during the flare when you try to land in manual thrust mode. This seems to happen even if you're in idle before the touchdown. I might be wrong but it seems you have to avoid speed bellow orange dots even if you're about to land. It would have be great to hear you speak about this situation :) Again many thanks for your really appreciated tutorials!
Ah thanks for that Niko. Very interesting point as I have a lot of people asking about exactly that - I did not realise most were probably using manual thrust. I suspect I know why and I will do some investigating for a future video!
Thanx great explanation.....do you know iif it is possible to get rid of the popup tags one gets when hovering mouse pointer over instruments and knobs?
Great video, when you are descending at 275 knots, how come you are not getting an over speed warning? If I do that, I get an over speed warning. (Apologies, I’m quite new to FS, but your videos are priceless! Cheers
Hi John. It will limit the auto thrust to that thrust setting, so I would expect the auto thrust to increase thrust to that point to try and maintain the speed. After touchdown it will then command whatever setting the thrust levers are left at. I’ve never tried this however!
Thanks for the video, really useful. Can I just clarify something please? When turning off the Autopilot, does the aircraft still manage the descent down the glide slope itself or does the pilot have to manage the descent using the flight director? Presumably pitch and roll also need to be “flown” manually too ? Cheers.
Hi great tutorial! By the way at 14:17 you say: “…if you bring the thrust levers to the climb gate early or before it flashes lever climb then that’s not what we do in the real aircraft but it should then just engage the auto thrust either way…” Q: Does this mean that -- in the real aircraft -- if you put the levers into CLB before you've reached the thrust-reduction altitude then the aircraft would immediately target the selected speed -- as per the FCU?
Thanks for the great tutorials! Just a questions which I can’t get manage myself. (Coming from 737). I want to learn fly the A320 by hand, which often needed when on vatsim, but what I understand is that A/THR manage the trim and that you can not trim it with trim wheel. Do you have tips or can spend a tutorial on hand flying the plane without AP? Many thanks 🛫👍🏻
good tutorial, should also make for a tutorial or a comparison for the A32NX mod (still one 0.1X version) but at least should be more realistic for the default a320 plane
Right after main wheels touchdown, it seems that the nose is very happy to yaw left and right. Does the real bird have the same tendency? In the sim it appears that small piston aircraft are even worse and basically squirrel all over the place. I think it makes sense that smaller aircraft are more prone to that, but the extend of it is sort of shocking. Do you have thoughts on that?
I noticed the .. umm.. ECAM? Did in fact show your flex temp at takeoff when you put thrust into flex. I would love to see a video showing how to work with updating the nav computer (whats the proper term?) when landing in a couple scenarios: 1) ATC vectors you differently than pre-programmed course, 2) Go Around, chart procedures 3) Go around, ATC vectoring - in all this scenarios the actual flight plan varies from the pre-programmed one and I keep making a mess out of the computer
Thank you for all videos. I have a question to A320 neo with MOD. How can I decrease the taxi speed in throttle idle position? Without thrust it get up to 35 knots.
Did I miss where you said how to make the plane autothrottle to landing speed? Does it need to be manually set? The tutorial in game seemed to have a whole landing setting in the computer
It would seem to me that if you are flying in nav mode on a route and you get ATC instructions to climb or descend, you would use managed mode not select mode... is that right? I would think you would only use select mode on an airliner for an emergency climb or descent or some atypical situation. Correct?
Any chance of doing a missed-approach and hold tutorial for the MSFS a320? All your other tutorials have been amazing! Thanks for doing them. I also haven't figured out the dialed-in altitude mechanic, I am unsure if its a MSFS bug or I'm doing it wrong... Am I supposed to dial down the altitude in the FD as I descend? or just leave it top-of-climb? seems like dialing it down causes the plane to do an open descent to that altitude regardless of mode.
So it looks like you keep auto-thrust on when landing and with the system in managed mode rather than select mode. I assume the approach speed must be in the MCDU for this to work? What happens if you don't have your approach speed set there?
@@320SimPilot Great, thanks!. The open source a320 already has some FMA changes in the dev branch, so i'm guessing in a few weeks worth of progress the systems will be much closer to real life than what they are now.
I dont understand why at 7:30 after a sinkrate is being selected the AP is suddenly targeting the Speed. It was targeting the altitude before, but with the selected sinkrate shouldnt it do the same ?
could there be a reason why my thrust control always moves up to flex and out of the climb (CL) position? Then with that happening, when I descend, the auto thrust does not engage to idle thrust. Does the throttle need to be in climb (CL) thrust to engage to idle when descending? I don't hear of any others having this issue so I'm wondering if it's something I'm doing or need to do.
Great tutorial, as always. I have a question regarding the use if NDB's and the ADF on the bird in MSFS. Where does one set the frequency for an NDB and how do I get the needle to show anywhere on the dashboard ?
Glad you enjoyed it Pieter! RAD NAV page in the MCDU is where we can tune NDB and VOR but it doesn’t always work in MSFS yet sadly. The needles are displayed using the EFIS control, just below where I change the range.
I’m having some issues with auto throttle during approach to landings. Is it me or is the sim not perfect? I can approach and hold 150kts throughout the descent to the runway number with the auto throttle off at various angles of approach. With the auto throttle on I don’t see the advantage of the automation so far but I am still learning, something isn’t right but I don’t know what it is.
Dear 320 Airbus pilot. In fs2020.i have autotrust issues. Somethimes Thea speed indicator goes nuts and goes grom 60 tot 40 and back and does continue to do so doe hou knie the problem?
Same issue for me but I think it's actually when you're about to land in manual thrust mode and you get bellow the stall speed right in the middle of the flare operation it triggers the auto thrust again at full power to avoid stalling the aircraft. The solution is to land at higher speed (never go speeds bellow the orange dots) I do agree with you it's pretty annoying..
You don't need a super good pc, i have pc from 2015, with msi 1070, i7 4790 4ghz, 8gb ram, and it runs on high settings without a problem, and use some fps fix config, also its important to use SSD over HDD because its much faster, and loads zones, objects much faster.
@320 Sim Pilot I just got to known with auto thrust since the new update. They changed all the controls and i cant use autothrust. In difference to your gameplay there is a lighted dot right to the knot amount. so i can still set up the speed i want but i wont do it. Its not working in the a320 neo from flybywire(a32nx) and the normal a320 neo. What should i do. Oh btw, in the landing challenges it works without any prblems so that kinda weird. Do you or somebody else have a tip?
Yes he's back with the tutorials! Man I love your tutorials keep it up! :)
“And now we have complete control”
Never thought I would ever hear that from an Airbus pilot 😂😝
certainly won't hear it from a Boeing 737 max pilot
Thanks for your tutorials, they are very very useful!
At least they made me realize why I prefer flying the 737 NG over the A320; the former is a lot more "crude" but also more intuitive, whereas the Airbus is a lot more sophisticated.

Thanks Arild, and thanks for your kind words! Yes hopefully as the MSFS gets updated the ToLiss tutorials will be even more relevant!
for a default plane i'm impressed by how complex it actually is, despite some of the inaccuracies you describe. great vids. keep it up.
Really informative. Need these guides/videos since I have no idea what these systems do/how to operate them. Thanks for the videos! A320 is the best.

On every landing I was bouncing of the runway. Now I know why. Thrust issues (pun intended) and too much flare... thanks for these tutorials sir!
You are welcome, thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for the tutorials, I would be struggling so much without these as a reference point. Looking forward to future ones. 👌
That’s great to hear, thanks for watching and there are plenty more to come!
You should redo a full auto pilot and auto thrust tutorial now with latest FBW mod.
nice, wow I was here at 450 subs you have grown alot!
Thank you for the tutorials, these have helped a lot with the Airbus in MSFS.
For the outside camera, try setting it to a higher focal length, while moving the camera further from the airplane. That will much more look like real footage from a chasing plane.

Great tutorials man. I’ve only ever flown GA aircraft but you explain everything very well I’m actually starting to be able to fly the A320.
That’s great Scott, glad they are helping you enjoy the bus!

great stuff sir. amazing teacher your great polite attitude is a lesson in its self this is why the channel is doing so well really pleased for you
Very helpful, thank you

It would be great if u can also teach us how to do other landing methods such as rnav, loc, vor DME in future videos
Outstanding tut, thank you.

What makes the auto throttle target the landing speed? It always targets a higher speed which is lowered with flaps extention.
man, have to say this. Airbus throttle lever is so much more complicated than Boeing. Not sure why they would do this.
Thanks for making this bro 👍
Thanx great explanation.....do you know iif it is possible to get rid of the popup tags one gets when hovering mouse pointer over instruments and knobs?
Great video, when you are descending at 275 knots, how come you are not getting an over speed warning? If I do that, I get an over speed warning.
(Apologies, I’m quite new to FS, but your videos are priceless!
Cheers
Could you do a video about descending rate, top of climb, top of descent and how to calculate descending rate?
I love your videos.
Thanks for your kind words! I’ll keep this in mind for future videos
On landing, what happens if you bring the thrust levers from CLB to something just above IDLE and you're still in ATHR?
Hi John. It will limit the auto thrust to that thrust setting, so I would expect the auto thrust to increase thrust to that point to try and maintain the speed. After touchdown it will then command whatever setting the thrust levers are left at. I’ve never tried this however!

i put on autorudder, it helps a lot.You can still use the Rudder but seems less erratic.It's in assistance.
I think yaw is too sensitive at the moment, even after turning it down!
Love your videos
I noticed the .. umm.. ECAM? Did in fact show your flex temp at takeoff when you put thrust into flex.

I hope the developers do update the screens to show what they actually show in the real aircraft.
Me too, plus the mod being done by the community.
Something is wrong with the throttle
can you do the Landing Challenges with the Airbus?
great Video Thanks
Thank you for all videos. I have a question to A320 neo with MOD. How can I decrease the taxi speed in throttle idle position? Without thrust it get up to 35 knots.
Did I miss where you said how to make the plane autothrottle to landing speed? Does it need to be manually set? The tutorial in game seemed to have a whole landing setting in the computer
thanks alot, made that real simple!
You’re welcome, thanks for watching and commenting!
Is it possible to land the plane with the levers in the CLB position without ever having touched the speed knob or FMC?
It would seem to me that if you are flying in nav mode on a route and you get ATC instructions to climb or descend, you would use managed mode not select mode... is that right? I would think you would only use select mode on an airliner for an emergency climb or descent or some atypical situation. Correct?
So once you have reached that thrust reduction altitudine and reduced the thrust to climb, you can activate the autopilot?
Any chance of doing a missed-approach and hold tutorial for the MSFS a320? All your other tutorials have been amazing! Thanks for doing them. I also haven't figured out the dialed-in altitude mechanic, I am unsure if its a MSFS bug or I'm doing it wrong... Am I supposed to dial down the altitude in the FD as I descend? or just leave it top-of-climb? seems like dialing it down causes the plane to do an open descent to that altitude regardless of mode.
Hi, when i try to Land, autothrust gets up and i cant even disable it sometimes, ruins my landing, please help
So it looks like you keep auto-thrust on when landing and with the system in managed mode rather than select mode. I assume the approach speed must be in the MCDU for this to work? What happens if you don't have your approach speed set there?
Awesome video as always. Is there any chance of an in depth FMA explanation video?
Thanks, glad you liked it. I will consider an FMA video for the future! Hopefully once they are updated a bit too!
@@320SimPilot Great, thanks!. The open source a320 already has some FMA changes in the dev branch, so i'm guessing in a few weeks worth of progress the systems will be much closer to real life than what they are now.
Awesome tutorials!! Question: What are the average climb and descent rates for this type of aircraft or passenger airliners in general?
I dont understand why at 7:30 after a sinkrate is being selected the AP is suddenly targeting the Speed.
It was targeting the altitude before, but with the selected sinkrate shouldnt it do the same ?
Dear Sir, I have seen in many real life Videos that the captain or FO land without autothrust. Is there a special reason why?
could there be a reason why my thrust control always moves up to flex and out of the climb (CL) position? Then with that happening, when I descend, the auto thrust does not engage to idle thrust. Does the throttle need to be in climb (CL) thrust to engage to idle when descending? I don't hear of any others having this issue so I'm wondering if it's something I'm doing or need to do.
Does normal a320 and neo have the same cockpit design? Or they have a little difference?
how do I fix constant over speed? It stays on no matter if handily the plane or in auto. pilot.
Great tutorial, as always. I have a question regarding the use if NDB's and the ADF on the bird in MSFS. Where does one set the frequency for an NDB and how do I get the needle to show anywhere on the dashboard ?
Glad you enjoyed it Pieter! RAD NAV page in the MCDU is where we can tune NDB and VOR but it doesn’t always work in MSFS yet sadly. The needles are displayed using the EFIS control, just below where I change the range.
In your pilot life (in real flight). Do you say everything you read on the FMA each time its data changes ? OR Just the changed part.
I’m having some issues with auto throttle during approach to landings. Is it me or is the sim not perfect? I can approach and hold 150kts throughout the descent to the runway number with the auto throttle off at various angles of approach. With the auto throttle on I don’t see the advantage of the automation so far but I am still learning, something isn’t right but I don’t know what it is.
When to choose speed mode vs thrust mode ? Thx
Dear 320 Airbus pilot. In fs2020.i have autotrust issues. Somethimes Thea speed indicator goes nuts and goes grom 60 tot 40 and back and does continue to do so doe hou knie the problem?
THANK YOU
Thanks for watching!
I hate auto throttle I’ll be coming in to land and then out of now where I have 100% thrust like no that’s not what I want
18:31
Same issue for me but I think it's actually when you're about to land in manual thrust mode and you get bellow the stall speed right in the middle of the flare operation it triggers the auto thrust again at full power to avoid stalling the aircraft. The solution is to land at higher speed (never go speeds bellow the orange dots) I do agree with you it's pretty annoying..
Just put on idle
What's the difference between AP1 and AP2?
hi nice Tutorial thanks I need to do video showing what is a good setup to run flight sim 2020 smoothly thanks
You don't need a super good pc, i have pc from 2015, with msi 1070, i7 4790 4ghz, 8gb ram, and it runs on high settings without a problem, and use some fps fix config, also its important to use SSD over HDD because its much faster, and loads zones, objects much faster.
@@Krahamus Thanks
@320 Sim Pilot I just got to known with auto thrust since the new update. They changed all the controls and i cant use autothrust. In difference to your gameplay there is a lighted dot right to the knot amount. so i can still set up the speed i want but i wont do it. Its not working in the a320 neo from flybywire(a32nx) and the normal a320 neo. What should i do. Oh btw, in the landing challenges it works without any prblems so that kinda weird. Do you or somebody else have a tip?
I was really looking forward to using autothrust on my a320neo, it’s parked up in my drive . Until he said not for real world use 🥺😕
Have you changed your mic? I felt the old one added to the immersion as it sounded exactly like one on a real aircraft
How can i trigger the descend phase? Do i need to at all?
