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!

When people ask me what flying school I went...
“320 SimPilot”
lol
Me too! Which classroom did you sit in?

I want to say how thankful I am for this channel. The amount of depth you go in has really given me the confidence to fly the a320 on my own. I want to play as real as possible since it is unlikely that I will become a commercial pilot but with your videos, I feel that I can at least live out my dream on MSFS 2020 as close to real-life as possible. I would love to see more. Thanks again! From South Carolina!
In the cockpit preparation checklist, each menu is actually a drop down menu. If you click on it it will pull up all the steps of that checklist
Thanks as always for the detailed and amazing video! This was helpful in trying to switch over from Boeing to Airbus.
You are welcome Smooth Flying as always, thanks for watching and commenting!
@@320SimPilot Have been meaning to ask if you have spent any time with the X-Plane A32x's? I did a flight yesterday in the Zibo 737. I don't do a lot of airliners type stuff. It was so refreshing fly that by hand compared to the FS2020 aircraft. Curious what your thoughts are.
@@KarlH1980 320 has a lot of videos where's he's flying the X-Plane 320s
@@hjr2000 Cool. Still wonder what thinks of the two compared. -=Dear Santa, can I have X-Plane's flight physics in FS20' s great looking world=- ?
@@KarlH1980 Well I think he'd be upfront about the fact that MSFS is a new product and just hasn't got the maturity that X-Plane has.
For study level flying, it's X-Plane. But I expect that this will change as MSFS evolves :-)
I watched this tutorial 6 months ago to learn what I need to do to power up the A320. I just watched it again, and learned why I need to do it. Thank you for the useful and entertaining tutorials.
Your the reason I downloaded the fly by wire mod and started trying to learn more about the a320. These videos are awesome. Thank you so much
So detailed! I love your videos, always great to get that notification
Thank you HotShot! Very kind.
Thank You For This Video ! Very Detailed And Thorough and just what I needed to make MSFS a lot More Realistic ! 👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
i love this video so much and i really appreciate your time. almost all my flight sim “career” has been spent in single piston ga but i’ve decided to give this a go. this video has made everything a lot easier!
More excellent work from you, thank you. Very informative. You have a relaxed approach to the topic which is conducive to study.
Thank you! Really appreciate it.
Master class for mere mortals like myself! THANK YOU! One of the best not confusing convoluted video lessons I've watched!! Subscribed and will devour all the rest of your videos!!
Terrific information, thanks for your time and effort in producing this video for us !
i love your fs a320 videos and your voice relax me so much :D it's awesome to have a real pilot prospective on his aircraft in a sim
Thanks a lot Alex! Glad you enjoyed it.
Another outstanding video. I somehow missed the mod when t came out but thanks to you I've got it now and it is a delight to 'fly'. Many thanks for keeping your tutorials so clear and concise.
Well done video! thankyou!,, been flying the Zibo 737 and trying to transition over to the A320...very different in its own way. Appreciate learning from a pilot that actually flies this.
Love your tutorial series! Could you please do more tutorials based on the different stage of flights such as takeoff, enroute, descent, approach, landing, etc? Also an ILS tutorial would be great too.
Those graphics, it's something else. So crisp.
Thanks! New settings ;)
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME... So professional... look forward to your other videos...
Dude, seriously crazy! I subbed at 800, and now it is 28.1k all during quarantine. Congrats 🎉
Thanks, I remember those days well! Thanks for supporting the channel since then Flaps 40!
Thank you for this amazing tutorial!
You are very welcome!
Awesome! I was going to ask you about this in your next stream! Thank you!
You are very welcome Sean!
defo a real pilot!! just listening to this guy it feels like im about to take off :) good work bro
amazing sim that can still use some improvements and im sure the a320 avionics will be fully functional at some point in the future
Thanks for the great help. Would love to see a similar non-tutorial version but simulating (as much as is possible) the full flow of startup, radio / comms to crew etc right up to take off, all done by a pro!
Hi, thanks for watching and glad the video helped! I hope to do a video like that in the near future!
Wow! Amazing work. Very informative. Thank you.
Just brilliant. Thank you so much for doing these videos.
Glad you like them! You are very welcome.
Thank you for an excellent well prepared and clear briefing.
My heart always skips a beat when I see you departing or landing in Austria. After watching dozens of your videos I finally downloaded FS2020 and flybywire, and flew from Klagenfurt to Berlin. (which I do on my return of visiting my family, usually via VIE, and a lot of delays 🤣)
one of the best tutorials I've ever watched
Thanks for the explanation. Awesome!

Your explanations and your calmness in your videos is fantastic!!!’
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching.
Another great video, and it's also good that now we can even get a weather report for any airport via the muckdo. Soon we can lay off those inbuilt ATC people ;)
Yes it's amazing the features that are arriving! Thanks for watching as always.
These videos are the best! Thank you!
You're welcome Harold!
Absolutely amazing content! Thank you so much :)
Thanks for the very detailed and informative guide! Much appreciated.
My pleasure!
Your videos have been very helpful. Thanks!!!
The video ive been waiting for yes yes yes.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video. Precious for a newbie as I am. Thanks, mate.
Thanks for a great tutorial! Certainly a little more on the checklist than my PA28 :)
Brilliant! Thank you!
Before watching, thanks for the video. I’m thinking of getting into some Airbus flight simming after following your channel.
Excellent, really glad the videos are enjoyable for you! Thanks for commenting and watching!
ah ha! I had a strong suspicion as a controller that airbus had some sort of auto mode for their strobes, I'll sometimes notice airbus aircraft rolling down the RWY without them on then magically once the weight is off the gear they start flashin away!
great video man i love it. you explain so well thanks
Thanks Alan!
OooOoOoo!! Been waiting for this one!
I hope it was worth the wait!
It was!
Best Vid i've seen in a while
Thanks Chris, glad to hear it!
amazing video, thank you
Hey mate I’m training to be a pilot for air New Zealand love your work man best videos on the internet
Thanks for Very informative tutorial. And very detailed explanation of the details and procedures.
You are welcome Raven, thank you!
Thank you so much! The video was very helpful :)
You are welcome! Thanks for watching.
Quality content. Very good
Much appreciated Shark!
Wow so informative. Great tutorial.
Glad it was helpful Paul! Thanks for watching!
Excellent. I like it.
Thank you very much!
Atpl student here, who is about to start MCC. I cannot thank you enough
As always smooth relaxing voice, and really well made tutorial.
Thank you kindly!
Thank you. Great stuff as always; very informative. It should be pointed out that you missed a good chunk of the cockpit prep checklist because you didn't scroll up to the top before clicking. The glare shield group is usually what seems to be the top for me and I always have to catch myself because it isn't the start of the checklist. It is a stupid bug. Anyway, the overhead panel flow that you did when "checking for white lights" comprises many of the items that you missed in the cockpit prep checklist. IIRC, what you missed are the RMP checks. There is an item to check SEL off. In the mod, the SEL light is on, so I've been curious as to whether the checklist or the modelling is wrong--as well as what the SEL light actually means.
Also, the checklist groups need to be expanded (by clicking) to see the individual checklist items. I'm assuming you knew that, but it might be worth calling out to your audience.
And now if someone will ask me how i learned those things, then i will recommend you sir! Thank you so much for this tutorials of yours.
Thank you Harvey!
@@320SimPilot Thank you so much for making tutorials Sir! My dream job is to be a pilot like you Sir. And by your videos, it gives me ideas and more details and always motivates me and inspires me more to be one, just like you sir as being a pilot. Thank you so much! Don't stop making useful vids like this Sir!
very wel done this is a confirmation that i get it right
Excellent, thank you!
Great tutorial many thanks..i wonder if when your doing your fire test if you press pause and then look down will the fire test light be lit..great vid looking forward to more
Love the video, it helps out a lot. Have you made a cold and dark setup tutorial for the B747?
Really like your videos, thank you for taking the time to do them! If it's not to much trouble, could you show how would the weight distribution be in an almost sold out flight and a 50% passenger capacity? Thank you in advance
Thank you so much
Hey 320 sim, honestly refreshing on so many levels for me understanding the airbus. Obviously not for real world use :). One of my major issues with proper loading and approach config/execution is an RNAV approach. Innsbruck is a perfect example where RNP is the victor in many descent and approach profiles as to the high and precipitous terrain. Is there any way you could make a video on RNAV arrivals to an RNAV approach transition? As I stated in a previous comment, the embraer I fly here in the states has an extendable line off the final approach course, which lets me “clean up” and then engage approach mode later. Now, in the airbus it isn’t a big deal on an ILS because when you’re on vector you can just activate approach, but let’s say we are vectored off an arrival to an RNAV approach, or for that matter, a feeder routed to an approach from a STAR, how do we activate the approach mode itself? Still wondering and it would be great for me to understand so I can fly into more unique airports like Innsbruck or even KDCA without having to disconnect everything because it “isn’t doing what I want.” Thanks man and I enjoy the heck out of your vids!
Thank you sooo much, I just downloaded the mod due to watching some of your vids, jumped into the aircraft to do a flight and found out, the mod did more then I thought lol. Great job, Very easy to follow and comprehensive. Also quick question, are you using the Developer version of the mod or the stable one, I noticed for me when I try to change the LDG Elev Auto, it shows up as inop in my game but in yours it works.
Hi, thanks for your kind words, really pleased to hear you enjoyed the video! I was using an unstable mod version for this video. The downside is sometimes things so I make sure to keep updating regularly!
Great instructional video, very useful, found that there is a lot more to tick now then shown in your film, but MS have since updated Flight Sim several times so that would likely be the reason.
Just a quick edit, in what order would you suggest to watch your excellent instructional films, from cold start at a parking bay/gate to engine shut off at the destination airport. Thank you.
Great video !
its absolutely going in my favourites
i have a question, are there any 2d panels in FS2020 as FSX has ?
As I am sure you are aware, the latest USA World Update has completely screwed the NX mod, and the A320.
We are all waiting for the great guys at FBW to fix it. Great work from them; a great pity that every update from Asobo trashes their work.
Great video by the way, as always...I almost got everything correct, though I didn't realise the pitot heat was automatic.
Thanks for watching Marcel! Yes they do great work updating it so fast and have added so many features. Glad you enjoyed the video!
The second dial for the weather dial
Was clutch. I could never figure out why my weather display wasn’t showing when I did cold and dark startups.
amazing
Thank you David! Cheers!
hope we start all flying again hope the vaccine works
how you have the full checklist ???????/
That's what I wanna know!!! My checklist only has 3 options
You have the normal a320 he has the fly by wire one
Thank you for all your very informative videos. I have been watching a lot of your videos lately and learned a lot of things about the A320. I would like to ask you something about the APU. I noticed that in some airports like LFPG or LFPO you are not allowed to turn on the APU until 10 minutes before departure from the gate. So how would you do in real life? In the simulator, I keep the external power on, I do my cockpit preparation checklist, set my FMGS, and 15 minutes before departure, I contact the tower to get the clairance and only after that I start the APU and turn on the APU bleed. Is that how you would do in reality?
Great video! Can you explain how to do the tcas?
Great content! Is there also info on proper shutdown procedure for the 320?
Thanks Henrik! I have not actually made a shutdown video, I will consider this for the future!
realy cool and informative video :D
sadly, you kinda made an "overlook" error, on the Cockpit Preparation Checklist - You did not realised that you where scrolled all the way down to the bottom, so you missed the first half. Which isn´t that much of a problem thou, because apart from individual MCDU pages(which you covered partly in a seperate video) it only starts the ADIRS and get´s you the IFR clearence. What i would have wished for, would have been to see an more indepth explanation of the Pedestral, incl. how to work the Radio, Weather Radar and Transponder.
Great vid thanks. I am currently using FSX and ready to upgrade I see you use both Flight Simulator 2020 and Xplane 11 which do you recommend?
Can you do a video on cold weather operations? Love the content✨
already has one on the anti ice systems :)
I'd love to see a Christmas themed cold weather ops
Great suggestion! For now I have this one: ruclips.net/video/O170fbsUTgU/видео.html
Hi! My seatbelt and no smoking switchs don´t work (are not active) on my airplane. Any help? Thank you!
Hey, loving the videos.. just out of curiousity.. what would happen (apart from probably getting sacked), if you were to lift the landing gear/wheels whilst the plane is stationary/on ground? Would it just beep at you and say no, or would the plane kinda pancake onto it's hull(?)
Hi, Thank you for your superb content. I have been totally enthralled by the A320Nx mod since getting MSFS on game pass. I have spent the last few months learning how to fly this aircraft, having flown primarily the Zibo 738. It is great to hear what a IRL Airbus pilot thinks of just how realistic and close to the real aircraft the mod is. I would like to know your thoughts on when selecting ground power avail, does the real aircraft make just as much noise when powering up the avionics and the fans. It seems a little loud. dont get me wrong it is rather immersive to see the aircraft come to life from cold and dark. Is this the latest dev build? I cant wait to see how sim brief gets integrated into the ATSU. Thanks again for your time making these great tutorials for us virtual A320 pilots.
Hi Steffan, thanks for watching and you are very welcome for the video. The aircraft does indeed make a lot of noise when powering up. The sound of the avionics cooling, fans and other systems are surprisingly loud even when sat on the ground. It is mostly noise of air rushing around being used to keep the screens and computers cool!
@@320SimPilot Thanks for your reply. I've just purchased Toliss A321 after being somewhat frustrated with MSFS20 AP issue after the last update. I'll be watching more of your Toliss A321 video tutorials. In your opinion how do you rate the Toliss A321 compared to thr real world aircraft. Is it a study level sim in terms of system functionality?
Thanks again for taking the time to post such great content.
I got a problem. The checklist, you have a huge selection. Whereas MY checklist only has the small three things, Before Starting Engine, Starting Engine, and After Starting Engine. What am I missing? And I downloaded that A32NX mod.
Hi, is there an updated cold start procedure....i seem to have quite a few my items in my checklist, especially in cockpit preparation ?
It'd be nice if the cockpit switches and buttons started in random positions, so it'd make sense having to go through the preliminary cockpit checklist, or it could simply save the position of them from the last time the aircraft was used by the player.
This would be a fun feature certainly! Thanks for watching.
Ctrl 8 gives a better view of overhead panel!
I'm new here and am really enjoying your work. My query is which sim do you prefer xplane or ms? Cheers and stay safe. Don, Australia
H i Don, I enjoy both for different purposes. For full airliner experience the X Plane Add Ons are more mature but also more expensive! The scenery and weather in MSFS is stunning especially for sight seeing. The Flybywire mod is improving rapidly though! Thanks for watching and for your kind words.
320 SP thank for your instructions on starting up cold on dark in a320. My question is why do you show the overhead instruments on an angle rather than in the center which helps alot where one can see the buttons that are being clicked or turned on? Also you don't always zoom in so that viewers like me can see where your going. Yes i realise this video was made 2 years ago
good morning, a question, where are the flood lights on the 320? I ask you because I use the vr and at night I do not see anything in the cabin, thanks in advance for the answer
Hello, I have a question. How do you get the traffic to show up on the ND in the A320?
It would be kinda fun to see what would happen IRL if the gear-leaver was in the "up" position at startup. 😅 Is there no pressure-mechanism in the landing gear that prevents the landing gear for folding up when on ground?
Are you going to update the video comletley when there is a segnifficant new update to the mod? (10/10 English as always😅)
Thanks for all your videos ❤️
I have questions plz
Some of functions not able to click in same model of air plane show me that (inop.)
Can you help me
Unfortunately the fly by wire changelog still shows as being 0.4.1 which is broken. Has it been updated without changing the changelog?
First of all thank you for your great videos. Made by a real A320 pilot it's top!
Question: why starting the APU so early since we have the external power available. The engine start (which needs the APU) will come later in the process. Are we not wasting fuel for nothing?
You are very welcome! Using the APU is sometimes required for airconditioning so in hot places or if you need the ventilation then it may be turned on relatively early. But if not then you are absolutely right, we often turn it on much closer to engine start. Thanks for watching!
my checklist doesn't have the prelim cockpit list in it. Just the "before you start engines, starting engines, after starting engines" check list. How do I get the prelim cockpit list?
Off subject, but what could possibly be causing the plane to TRIM 100% NOSE UP, all the way through climb-out? I cannot figure it out. Secondly, I cannot get rid of "USR" or "USER" in LEGS page, no matter how many times I hit the CLR key. Suggestions appreciated.
Hey there, I've been binge watching your videos because they are so well done and helpful. Question: I don't quite understand the relationship between batteries+external power+APU and therefore don't have a full grasp of when to do what. Could you explain it briefly?
Hi Thomas, thanks for watching! Quite a complicated question but I'll try a very simple answer which will skip a few things! Batteries power just a very few basic and essential systems if needed. Normally the system is powered by engine electrical generators. If not using the engines the APU can supply electrical power instead (on the ground when parked). However the APU burns fuel and makes noise so a GPU can be used instead to supply the electrical system when parked as it is usually quieter and uses less fuel. I hope this helps!
@@320SimPilot okay I think I understand... So basically you use the batteries to get minimal systems up and the APU started, then use the APU until push and start?
I Love your videos as it helps us making our home simulations as realistic as possible. But I have to say I'm a bit dissapointed - I hoped for a more detailed Video. Don't get me wrong it just feels like you where rushing over a lot of things (at least that are on the checklist). If that is jsut how you do it in real life thats ok for me - just feeled like that video is missing the deeper details that i love in all your other tutorials and videos. Still like it and of course thank you for even making such informal videos for us :-)
Also hope there will be another MSFS group flight soon ;-)
Hi, thanks for watching and thank you for your feedback. I aimed this video at how to set up the aircraft, with a bit of background about what we are doing. Perhaps in future I can put a video together about the individual aircraft systems as that would allow me more time to go into a bit more detail on each switch! Thanks and yes a group flight will have to happen soon!
Why everytime I put in the cold and dark cond, all of my system will shutdown, but the Pack (Cockpit, fwd and aft) and the Nav (L,C,R) have been aligned? I cannot touch it because it shows "Inoperant"
How do you get all the knobs and switches working I got open my doors or loads baggage, it's says inoperable?
Can't wait to see what happens next! (lol)
Looking forward to the next in the series, engine start and take-off tutorial I hope.
Just one complaint... I'm learning so much I'm having to forget other stuff to make room!!!
Great tutorials and really welcome detailed explanations, thank you. Really appreciated!
If you have the landing gear lever up and power on the aircraft, will the airplane like flop onto the ground? haha surely there is a thing to stop that no? just curious
