Wish you wouldn't muddy the waters by incorrectly using terminology. Both aircraft have an FMC and both aircraft have an MCDU, which is just the physical input device for the FMC. MCDU is not merely the Airbus term for an FMC.
Thanks guys. I'm thinking of getting the Fslabs A320, and the MCDU is the daunting part. I had the PSS A320 back in the days of FS2002 (I think - and obviously nowhere near the complexity of Fslabs), so it's been a few years. This is an excellent video, and I feel encouraged that I will be able to handle the A320.
Thanks for the video. That's a nice overview of the MCDU. First and foremost, thanks for NOT filling INIT B right after INIT A: that's a mistake made even made by some type rated pilots despite explicit mentions in the FCTM. Some fields such as alternate, tropopause level, cruise temperature, acceleration altitude... would deserve a sequel video (may be combined with a flight planner). Moreover, it is recommended to check the route in the MCDU in conjunction with the ND in PLAN mode: it helps to spot errors. Finally, you may want to use the AIRPORT key to jump faster to the departure, destination and alternate: it's faster than scrolling especially with a longue route.

Any thoughts of showing how to set up our joysticks, thottles and assigning keystokes? Thank you for your very informative videos!
Thanks for the vid Ronnie. Can’t wait to try this on the FFA320 and ini300.
Yes
We neeeed more videos like this
Thank you FSElite
Could you do the G1000?
👍...
Note that the MSFS default A32N MCDU is missing some of these feature
Lol. So we are indeed getting a shiny version of the old FSX A321 and its limited functionalities, aren't we? That was worth waiting all this time!
