End to End tutorial for Microsoft Flight Simulator FS2020 with FlyByWire A32NX installation to full trip with MCDU / DIFSRIP demo and SID, STAR, ILS and Descent point calculation.

[@timelsom]

I really like the way you present your videos - better than a bunch of regular streamers in my opinion and I think you said you’re ex ATC which brings an interesting perspective - more please! :)

[@gazzis]

Thanks for your comment Tim, I've actually flown a bit too privately which I didn't mention (I think quite a few air traffickers do). Regarding more videos, I wish I had the time!

[@OfficialAmazePlays]

Hey, my navigation does not change like yours did at 1:16:01 and various times throughout. Mine remains on "BPK" - resulting in my distance actually increasing through 300 and 400 rather than decreasing as yours did in the video. Any reason why my nav stays on BPK and doesn't change as I go through waypoints?

[@gazzis]

Did you resolve?

[@OfficialAmazePlays]

@@gazzis No, still not sure why it does it...

[@mohamadpooya6312]

Hello, I installed the A32NX plane and there is no reaction when lowering the height, where is the problem??

[@Enam]

I appreciate you, sir. This video helped me a lot! very detailed and informative. Will watch this religiously till its stuck in my head. Cheers.

[@keithdoherty150]

Great video, extremely helpful thank you. 41:59 "cabin oxygen comes in handy" lmao it sure does haha, great informative video cheers.

[@benjaminh4290]

many thanks for the realy good explainations and hints of what you are doing and why 👍 One of the best Tutorials of the A32NX out there

[@gazzis]

Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it.

[@IAMYUNGGAF]

i stepped away from this game for months because of constant changes fixes and then breaking of other things. The flighplans with simbriefs weren't working well with this aircraft and it wouldn't follow the waypoints. Is this fixed now? They had done away with the internal flightplans within the msfs because those didn't work then they went to simbrief and those didn't always work either.

[@gazzis]

Have to say it seems to work well for me as long as you're properly sync'd with Simbrief.

[@big-col-on-tour]

Thanks very much. Very well presented tutorial.

[@bensteel3944]

Am only halfway through your video and omg I have learnt so much. I can see myself watching it over and over again. Awesome job ... I will deffo use the feature that speeds up the Adirs alignment.

[@gamyr8333]

Hello, I love and I freak out your videos. They help me a lot. Suige so, only as you know. 🤩 But I have a problem. And it is that I am learning to configure the pan of flight in the MCDU, but when arriving at the parter of "Init". I don't get the option to auto fill with the "Init request" option. In fact, I get the whole screen laid out differently. I don't know what to do. I have tried with the 3 versions of fly by wire, the stable one and the other two. I assume srra because it has been updated since the tutorial. What do I have to do to avoid having to complete it by hand? Thank you very much 😊!

[@gazzis]

MCDU MENU (Button)>AOC MENU>INIT/PRES>INIT DATA REQ is working for me today 8 Nov after updating the Development version. I tried it before uploading the simbrief flight plan into the flypad and tried it again after uploading it and it has worked on both occassions. However, I admit also not seeing the option recently so I can only assume it's reverted. I could go on but essentailly it's working now.

[@sqxrloveyou]

I love you thanks

[@jamalhijawy215]

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR CLERANCE BUT I FEAL THERE IS PROPLEM WITH ME TO CLCLATION THE decent, AND THE DEGREE FOR IT

I’d suggest you rewatch that section of the video. It does makes sense eventually.

Thanks very much for making this👍

[@skinnyTheCat]

Supergreat Tutorial! Hope you do more! :) Thanks, David, SWE.

[@leonidpolenok]

Super

[@ClauZenberger]

Great video! You can actually use the FlyPad to calculate your decent, very useful!

[@jamalhijawy215]

ALSO I THINK ITS NOT WORK PERFECTLY

[@SB_M7-p6p]

I swear ive been trying for 3 hours and your video helped so much thxxx

[@leohors852]

Hello, Wonderful tutorial. I'm long time Sim Pilot from MSFS DOS v., I was off 10 years from sim. However, FS 2020 with the realism is jut above the blue sky with the FlyByWire Experiment program to flying aircraft and SimBrief OFP is WOW. THE MCDU is was totally new to me. However, I managed the SID, STAR, CROUSING, APPROCHING, but I had problem with the LANDING. In your tutorial, you ringed the bell for me what have to do before reach the glideslope to make safe landing. Thank you for the nice job. Safe flights...👍👍 5*

Best Taxier 2023🤣. On a real note great video. Helped out a ton!

[@christianmenges6408]

Comparable to some professionals here on yt. First vid. First Hit. To newbies more explanation would fit. All in all satisfactory vid. Good explenation at all compared to some entertainment wannebees here in yt.

how does my weight and balance doesnt pop up in mine? and its dark not light

[@TboneSRT]

Great video! One thing, I don't ever have a W/B option

[@FurtherAM]

How come FBW wont load Dev version? stuck in loading screen

[@gazzis]

Can’t help with that one I’m afraid.

[@FurtherAM]

@@gazzis I figured it out.. Dev and Ex dont load.. but the stable does? but ppl on update said the stable doesnt work you need to use dev or ex so I completely got turned around

Well done.Filled in some blanks that I wasn’t sure of.Subbed.

[@hux5110]

Just finished the video, brilliant tutorial! Well presented and you explained everything so clearly. I've jotted some notes down from the video and will keep practicing my flights, thank you.

[@gazzis]

Thanks. I know the A32NX has been updated several times since I made this but hopefully it’s still relevant.

[@Fgswift21]

hello, I have followed all the steps and when i press init request- The scratchpad says UPLINK INSERT IN PROG' and doesnt do anything after that. Any assistance will be appreciated.

[@gazzis]

Have you managed to upload any flight plan information into the MCDU or flypad from Simbrief?

[@Fgswift21]

@@gazzis thank you for getting back. I have fixed the problem by using the stable version of the FBW mod

[@gadgetfest7323]

Hello, im from indonesia. Can u speed up using simrate when cruising using this aircraft? Me… when using default aircraft able to speed up but when using fenix cant :(

[@Lengend-cu6ef]

This aircraft is different from the Fenix, which costs money. This one is free

[@billB101]

You can speed up the sim rate to 2 with the flybywire. Haven't managed to get it any faster than that.

[@peterjanssen1272]

Great video thanks

[@oypkah1]

Thank you for publishing this wonderful video. Thanks to you, I learned a lot of things about the A32nx, but unfortunately there was a problem at the SID and STAR stage. I couldn't see these points on departure or arrival section. I'm using latest stable version of FlyByWire a32nx which is v0.10.1 and I am not a Navigraph subscriber. So I don't know if the problem is on the plane or on the flight plan. I've researched but I couldn't find any solution. Could you help me to find out where the problem is?

[@gazzis]

Glad you liked the video. It’s around 12 months old now so it’s possible some of the navigation points have changed. Which points are you missing?

[@oypkah1]

@@gazzis I saw STAR for once and it wasn't according to my flight plan. For example Simbrief planned my arrival runway to 24L runway but I could set approaching only for 24R runway. After that, I tried make flights to diffrent airports that always be busy, but it's never worked again :(

[@Christian-be4lk]

I have a problem with SID and STARS: simbrief tells me the sid and the star but in the mcdu I can't find the one that it gave me in the planning. I am using the last airac from navigraph and the mcdu is confirming that.

[@gazzis]

Is Simbrief picking the correct runway? SIDs are specific to runways so they would have to match what your selecting in the MCDU.

[@Christian-be4lk]

@@gazzis I found a solution selecting the sid according to the transition point written on simbrief

[@Vicitooo]

I enjoyed the vod, thanks =)

[@MikeInNorCal]

Great video sir! How do you get the low profile on screen panels? flaps, trim, engine, etc.....

[@gazzis]

If I understand correctly, by using Ctrl-1,2,3,4 etc for pre programed views. Or Alt-1,2 etc for views programmed by you. Use Ctrl-Alt-x to program an Alt key.

[@MikeInNorCal]

@@gazzis Ok i will try that but on flaps for example, on my screen it shows percentages AND a bar from 0-full. your screen just showed the percentage. so much slimmer than mine. it looks so much better than my gauges.

[@nisse4629]

I'm having trouble with the init request not showing up on the INIT page in the MCDU, any clues?

[@nisse4629]

turns out that doesnt work when you select an arrival airport in the MSFS menu before loading!

[@nisse4629]

Got some more issues now haha, i'm trying to copy your flight and after following all your steps im getting a "F-PLN DISCONTINUITY" between LAM and BPK in the flight plan. So essentially i have a gap on the green line on the display. What could be the cause of this?

[@nisse4629]

also my flight plan stops at "TARTN" and im not seeing the final turn & the runway after entering the sids

[@gazzis]

Further to reply below another change is that PAX are now loaded via the flypad in GROUND>PAYLOAD, not via Weights/Balance in the MCDU MENU.

[@cloudzzz2665]

help me pls😢😥😭😪

[@stjanss]

Thanks for the tutorial. Very helpfull. Just one thing. The route on the VFR map seems to be a big mess. And i dont get a green line route on the display. Oh an stock ATC goes completely quiet. Can't even obtain IFR clearance, even if the button is there sometimes. Any ideas? Thanks again.

[@scotts6178]

Vatsim my friend

[@stjanss]

thanks ;)

[@alidurgut477]

Nice tutorial thanks

[@parsa5290]

really helpful thanks

[@andrewmiller8173]

Followed this to the letter, but still cannot get ATC to give me IFR , will not show up , just VFR, will try the stable version to see if thats the problem..

[@gazzis]

FS2020 ATC will not work with a SimBrief Flight plan to my knowledge, it has to be fully created in the FS2020 World Map editor. I've just carried out this test. I updated the 32NX today (9 Jul) developer version, opened FS2020. Opened World Map, selected the 32NX, created IFR flight plan EGLL to EGPD (so not simbrief). In Flight Conditions select Multiplayer Off, Air Traffic - Live Traffic, Wx & Time - Live. Fly now gave me the 32NX with the World Map flt plan in the MCDU. Opened ATC window, selected HTW ground, requested clearance and all worked.

[@gazzis]

Have to admit, didn't realise a World Map/FS2020 flight plan would transfer into the 32NX MCDU - must be a recently added feature(?).

[@Lengend-cu6ef]

@@gazzis I think msfs2020 automatically putting flight plans made on the world map into the mcdu has been a feature for a while. So I assume if you make it in SimBrief but not in the simulator itself, you will have to manually enter your flight plan into the mcdu and file it to be able to get an ifr clearance from the in game atc.

[@gazzis]

Mmm not sure you can get FS ATC from a purely Simbrief flight plan. Will try later.

[@Lengend-cu6ef]

@@gazzis ah you may be right. would like to hear what you come up with!

When i have done my flight plane in the flt by wire thing and when im loading in to te game in the 320nx is my flight poan a straight like can you pls help me

Not quite sure what you mean I'm afraid.

I've been waiting for this tutorial for a long time sooo glad I found it.. this will transform my flying up till now I've kept to the prop aircraft now I'll hit the big boys... you got a sub from me hope for more, good man. Thanks for the effort you put into this video.
