Totally enjoyable and easy to follow. Would be great to see the rest of the flight to Amsterdam if you ever decide to do it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Oh, thank you very much! And thanks for making sure I don't get ahead of myself with the cheeky "so far" comment too! 😅 No, it's nice to hear people are finding this useful. It's almost enough to make me think it's time for a second instalment... but not quite, not yet. I'm still not over the trauma of the 10 hours it took to do this one!
@@FilbertFlies Yes, I also get withdrawal symptoms after pouring many hours into a video. We should consider doing some sort of collaboration, as we have similar viewing/subscriber counts - and more importantly: we both make videos on this cracking simulation! ;)
By the time I'd recovered from this one and was thinking about doing another, quite a few other RUclipsrs had already done some very good tutorials so I decided to move on to new pastures!
One day, perhaps... this tutorial took me nearly 10 hours to do, when I expected it would take 2, due to having to restart over and over again every time I stumbled over my words. So I'm reluctant to embark on another one at this point in time.
Mate, you are my hero. So good tutorial mate!!! Incredible!!! Thank you so much for doing so good videos!! I would like, perhaps a tutorial with the ILS landing and how you configure the PERF page in the MCDU for landing. :) You missed this from the video, but I think that is part of the Landing preparations :)
Thank you for leaving such lovely feedback. Yes, the approach PERF page is something you configure in flight, usually just before you start your descent. I might do further A320 tutorials in the future but this one is going to be it for now. It took me much longer than I thought it would to get it just right, so I need a good long break before contemplating any more!
I was hoping to make it look effortless, but yes, more hours than I care to remember! ;-) Glad you found it useful and thanks for taking the time to comment.
I have only watched the first 5 min so far as I am on my way to work. I already like it and will definitely follow it through and subscribe to your channel. I was wondering how to start the sim in a cold and dark state? Well done.
Definately more of this, if you can. Its a bit hard to come by good tutorials specific for the FlyByWire A320 so this is excellent. Perhaps a full flight from Cold and Dark to shutdown would be good?
Glad you found it useful and I will try and do more tutorials in the future. I have to be honest though, completing this one was a real labour of love. I thought it would take a couple of hours when I started but it ended up taking about ten, what with sim issues and multiple takes due to stumbling over my words (and having to start from scratch each time to get the FMGC into the right state). In short, it drove me mad, and the upbeat tone of my voice became more and more of an act as time went on! So I'd like to think I'll do more once I've recovered, but I'm not going to commit to it at this stage!
That said, if you watch back any of my live streams, they are essentially full flights from cold and dark to shutdown. I don't talk through everything in this level of detail, but I tend to discuss what I'm doing. You might find this is all you need.
@@FilbertFlies absolutely. I have watched a couple of your streams and you’re right, they are informative as well though in a different format. For learning a tutorial is easier, but I understand your hesitation as well. Trying to be up-beat when your teeth are clenched is hard indeed. 😊 Have you gotten Pilot2ATC to work with the FBW a320? I can’t seem to be able to tune the radios, so I get no clearance and no atc. But the plane is followed throughout the flight. I think it’s a issue with the mod, just wanted to check
I have. But you're right, tuning the radios in the cockpit doesn't work. I pop up the comms panel (if that's what it's called - not in front of my computer) from P2A and use that to tune the frequencies instead. Quick rough and ready how-to video here: ruclips.net/video/XgOHTEEb9VE/видео.html
Just some remarks: After turning on the batteries, I had a beeping master warning, which was irritating. Also, on the MCDU's Perf page, the Vs weren't preset for me. What would I do in that case when I don't want to use an external tool?
You should be able to silence any master warnings by clicking on the warning light in the cockpit. As for the V speeds, I'm really not sure why they're not coming up. Have you tried clicking the line select keys next to the blank spaces twice? That might populate them.
I'm afraid not. I figured there were already quite a few good tutorials about the flying. Try 320 Sim Pilot - he's done some good stuff. So have FlyByWire themselves I think.
FilbertFlies' voice reminds me of Julian Cleary. Anyways, came here to learn how to do this properly as just downloaded the mod. FilbertFlies seem to know his stuff.
Once you put your takeoff config and flex temp in the MCDU, you can click on the LSK next to the V-speeds to select new speeds. I don't know where these speeds are coming from, though, and don't know how they compare to the ones from the calculator you use.
Interesting, I didn't know that. But I suppose you're still going to need to calculate a flex temp to get to this point, so you may as well calculate your V speeds at the same time?
This is a good question. I had intended to do further videos like this for the A320 but then I realised that there were better qualified people doing better videos already. I really rate 320 Sim Pilot's tutorials. His channel is here: www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=m.youtube.com/%40320SimPilot&ved=2ahUKEwivv8-OmsCHAxX7QUEAHTvEFIYQjjh6BAgXEAE&usg=AOvVaw1k50rPcXyhXV5x2Wc0rMuO
Thanks a lot for your great videos. I downloaded the flyby wires from your link. Somehow, the ADRS switches, no smoking sign and door arming as well as few other switches show as inoperable while the rest are operable. Any suggestions please on how to fix the bug, as I see they all work in your flyby wires version. Much appreciate your advise. TIA
I think maybe it hasn't been installed properly, or you have a conflicting A320 mod in your community folder. Alternatively, it could be that the latest stable build isn't working properly since the sim update. It might be worth downloading the 'master' (dev) build instead - that's what I use.
@@FilbertFlies Yes. You were right. Maybe some compatibility issues with older version. I downloaded the latest version and now it works. Thanks a lot for your videos. Appreciate your great work and excellent lucid style of presentation.
From charts. You can either subscribe to Navigraph (www.navigraph.com) which has all the charts from everywhere in the world, or search online for arrival and departure charts for the particular airport you're flying into or out of - many are available for free.
@@FilbertFlies oh I get it. So are those frequencies from real world work for simulator? By the way, a reading charts tutorial would be great if you find some time ;) ty!

This is the best comprehensive startup tutorial I’ve seen so far. I look forward to following this video later today for the same flight.
I hope your flight went well 🙂
For someone who just started out on this game this video is a real life saver, thank you so much! MCDU never been easier!
Totally enjoyable and easy to follow. Would be great to see the rest of the flight to Amsterdam if you ever decide to do it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Make the complete flight explanation please! This tutorial was awesome!
Yes, please!
Just recommended this video to a viewer on my own channel, as it's the best A320 tutorial I've come across for FS2020 (so far!)👍

yOUR amazing! Excellent video and comprehensive tutorial! I love to see more of your videos in the future!
Thanks for doing this. Very helpful. I wish you'd done more, including engine start, takeoffs, etc., but I'll take what I can get!!

Hope you continue to enjoy it! The aircraft automatically starts cold and dark if you start at a gate rather than on the runway.

So much to just get a 320 moving. Very detailed and I think even I (someone who don't fly airliners) could get off the ground following this. ;)
Thanks for leaving such a nice comment. You should give it a go! Getting the hang of airliners is really satisfying.
@@FilbertFlies Well with the help of you and some other RUclipsrs, I may actually be able to give em a try sometime.
Great video, this is now saved to my playlist and will help me out tremendously. Thanks for your time and effort with this 🤟🛫 happy flying
My pleasure! Happy flying to you too.
Great tutorial! Those V speeds are very different from the ones calculated by the sim, definitely going to use the online link. Thanks!
Yes, it's definitely worth the extra step I think.
Excellent tutorial, I love the concise and no-fuzz approach! And I do hope we'll get a follow-up for our flight very soon! :-)

Thanks. That may happen, one day, but I just don't the time to devote to it at the moment.
Thank you for such a fantastic tutorial.
Nice vid. I actually learned something new today :)
Glad you found it useful :-)
Great video and comprehensive startup tutorial for beginners. Do you have similar video about cruising phase, descent..?
I'm afraid not. I figured there were already quite a few good tutorials about the flying. Try 320 Sim Pilot - he's done some good stuff. So have FlyByWire themselves I think.
