iniBuilds new A300 RADIOS & ACARS/CPDLC explained | Real Airbus Pilot

[@jonbeckett]

Great overview - a question at the back of my mind - have you flown with this unit in an aircraft (or one very similar), or have you had to book-learn this for the video ? The reason I ask - in the real world I'm a software developer - so the design, evolution, and variation of the various systems in the aircraft interests me. While many are alike, there never seems to be many standard ways of doing things :)

[@A330Driver]

Hi, I had to book-learn this one. IniBuilds had a nice explanation in their introvideo to the v1.1 update, to which I added a bit from the books and a bit of general ATPL knowledge and here we go.

[@countryflyboy8255]

Great video as usual emi! Inibuilds have really done well with this last update. I've done 4 flights with none of the bugs that previously plagued me. Especially like how they've integrated the ground physics from SU15! The airplane actually steers like a real airplane on the ground now !

[@A330Driver]

Actually the drag is a bit overdone now, when going through turns with less than let's say 2/3rd tiller you should not loose speed really. But hey, I fully agree that they have overall done a good job!

[@countryflyboy8255]

@@A330Driver Yes! And that is where they should, and probably do, listen to folks like you who actually pilot commercially. Its way better than the current ice skate ring skidding in the 737..

Is there a method for using the efb and/or mcdu on external device for the a300

[@ceoverona1929]

How do you change the TICAS range with the IDS? LG

[@nemogatto]

How do you perform a XPDR IDENT?

[@ne9d133]

watching this from the ini A300, perfect timing 👍

[@tonyw9152]

Great video, thanks. Do you know if there are TCAS options built into this implementation of the IDC? For example can you perform a TCAS test and change the TCAS range like you can on the original standalone unit?

[@RocksterSAMA]

I tried it out on VATSIM today and I logged on to the center however the controller told me I was supposed to first connect via voice and ask for CPDLC before he will allow it. I didn't know I was supposed to do that

[@gwalker3092]

It’s not something I use much but impressive effort by iniBuilds. Thx for explaining the TUN functions. Self explanatory once you find it 😂. Thx for video invaluable information for the A300

[@A330Driver]

yep, once you found it, it's a really good function. And the ability of safe/recall frequencies is really nice for things like Guard, Unicom, etc.

[@nickh9879]

Excellent. Especially how to logon was helpful. Can you make a video on how to fly and RNAV approach in the A300?

[@A330Driver]

Hi, I do unfortunately not have the documentation on how to fly an RNAV approach with the A300. And if I'm completly honest, I think the implementation of the autoflight system by iniBuilds is a bit too sluggish to actually fly an RNAV properly, even if the plane is theoretically capable of flying one.

[@daveorr5858]

excellent video just waiting for the update in MSFS Store for the update so i can look this over

[@A330Driver]

Hopefully soon!

[@onecharliemike6022]

Nice... COMS via text message. Don't forget the emoji's

[@A330Driver]

hahaha, it's a good thing airplane keyboards do not have the : key!

[@peterzsilka4750]

For the IDC radio panel to work correctly you need the Hoppie?

[@A330Driver]

Yes, for the ACARS and CPDLC functions a hoppie login is needed.

[@adriana6057]

Have you gotten your new CPU yet?

[@A330Driver]

Unfortunately not. Five times now silly Hermes and DHL missed their delivery windows for parts... and one was damaged and had to be sent back. New ETA for the complete system is by the end of the week.

[@ArjunSingh-qk7nu]

Just heard you at Luton on vatsim have a great flight

[@A330Driver]

Thank you! It was a great flight indeed! And you'll be able to see it on the channel soon ;-)

[@ArjunSingh-qk7nu]

@@A330Driver look forward to it love the content

[@Fly737]

👍👍👍

[@dolf1010]

So interesting , especially the fact that you get kicked of by nasty conversation. This should be in general for the Internet too. 👍

[@A330Driver]

Would be a dream come true, if idiots could be kicked from the internet completly...
