Centre of gravity fills itself in when you put the zero fuel weight in. I like to put the LNAV on early because it won't light up if you have put some information in wrong. It is much easier to fix something before you get started than after takeoff. Hope this helps

Thanks for the pointer. I realise i put anti ice on. I have no idea why lol. Just for future reference, how do I use throttles for takeoff realistically?

@@agrindr1 first and foremost, whenever flying a multi engine aircraft, you must initially spool them to 50% n1 (40% for boeings). Since the engines may have varying performance profiles due to age, wear etc, they may spool up at different rates, meaning that if you go straight to full thrust, one might reach that full thrust drastically before the other which may cause you to veer off the runway. So you must wait until both are stable at 50%, then full. Secondly, to/ga is rarely used, since its much more efficient to use a lower thrust setting if you can still make it off the runway. Most of the time "flex" is used which works off the basis of an "assumed temperature". More or less, you will see a "flex to temp" option on the t.o perf page. lets say you enter 60. the aircraft will basically trick the engines into thinking its 60 degrees celsius outside. Since thrust available is inversely proportional to temperature, this will decrease the thrust. So you must select a "flex temp" which should be calculated from a takeoff calculator. afaik fbw a320 (since i fly the fenix) doesn't have one just yet however i believe there are some online ones. Then on takeoff, instead of selecting the to/ga detent, theres a flex detent on the quadrant just before it. Bit of a long explanation but i hope it helps.

Yes. The stall warning means you are as slow as possible and as long as you are close to the runway, you should settle nicely. However, if you are too high it will be a hard landing. It comes with practice.

Interesting to hear different views. I've always been taught in real life to memorise the airborne checklist.

You can check using littlenavmap or atc however in msfs you can press 'b' and it will automatically set QNH for you. QNH will also be on local weather reports (METAR) which can be found on Google or you can use an aviation app. I use Avia Weather on android.
