the A400M is flown by Royal Airforce, German Airforce, bulgarian airforce. and cant remember the other ones. but they do fly to US for training exercises.

[@StevesSimStation]

Nice i knew several European countries use them but hadn't clue they flew to the US for training missions

[@bassgaming1811]

When you are trying to align your irs and adr, I usually select data then airport on my flight computer first using the airport’s ICAO. After that I put in all my mass and balance info in using the efb. Select the Perfs page and press on T.O. Computation and then insert the computated values. After that you should be good, you could also put in your desired flight plan if you have one.

[@StevesSimStation]

Thank you for the detailed steps. I will definitely try that.

[@bassgaming1811]

@ of course, also I hope that cold isn’t too bad!

[@chrislewis8714]

A400M is a midway point between the Hercules and the C17. Makes it a rather attractive proposition for smaller nations with more limited budgets.

[@StevesSimStation]

Thats a good analysis of this aircraft and wish I would have thought about it in that way.

[@AlphaIOmega]

I hopped on youtube today to check your page to see if you had any A400M content. Crazy timing. Really good content man, keep up the great work. Really stoked I found your channel, hope to see more in depth content in the future. I did find the dev videos for the C-17 from Cold to Landing(and manuals!), and that helped a lot to learn the workflow. Still some quirks in AP setup Im not understanding, but would love to see your content with more of these types of planes maybe simplifying the process and everything.

[@StevesSimStation]

I'm glad that you found the channel and like the content. I am planning on many more videos going into the new planes in 2024.

[@bucy21]

C-17 was originally designed and developed by McDonnell Douglas before moving to Boeing after the two companies merged in 1997.

[@StevesSimStation]

Thank you for the clarification

The Airbus A400M Cargo Plane That's So Cool 🛫👍🏻😉

[@StevesSimStation]

Yea, its a pretty cool plane!

[@SkoobSim]

What a beaut of a plane!

[@StevesSimStation]

Yes she is

[@ParZIVal19D]

Great video brother.

[@StevesSimStation]

Appreciate it!

[@clownyproductions4744]

Hey great video, have you tried the fa18 in the new sim because for some reason when I start it from cold and dark I can’t get the avionics to work. Any chance you could do a video on it please?

[@StevesSimStation]

I have not tried the F-18 yet. I plan on doing a video on it though

[@clownyproductions4744]

@ thanks I really appreciate it!

[@MeatBallJunior]

good vid, have you had any issues of any planes not having sound?

[@StevesSimStation]

Few times but I would either restart the flight or the sim and fixes it for a bit

[@markmalloy3438]

Nice video! Question, does the 160 airports that come with the game are the real airports, and you do not have to purchase them. Also, how can I find out which airports come with the game?

[@StevesSimStation]

They are real airports and Im not sure where the list is off hand I would have to look it up

[@markmalloy3438]

@StevesSimStation copy

[@alfredjr2k556]

Steve? This A400 still in my country Malaysia.

[@StevesSimStation]

Nice!!

[@janusz4156]

15 years of A400M in 2024.

[@petebray3998]

I can’t even fly it! Just freezes before I start the actual flight on Xbox . Think il be sticking with DCS.

[@StevesSimStation]

Thats unfortunate I would give MSFS2024 a bit more time to sort things out. Xbox side Ive heard there are more issues than on PC

[@Alex11676]

Good video! However, I am stuck at 800 RPM even if I am at full throttle… Does anyone no why?

[@StevesSimStation]

I ran into that issue. Even though you remove the chokes on the outside walk around you still need to go into the EFB and remove the chokes there... that fixed it for me

[@sparkyplug28]

A400m is not in any way a copy of the C-17 it’s much smaller in fact the Royal Air Force fly both it was in fact designed to replace the c-130

[@StevesSimStation]

Ok fair... the shape and design looks close to a C-17 if you think about it though

[@animaxima8302]

no checklists?

[@Itswelshy86]

There are electronic checklist built into the fmc

[@StevesSimStation]

The checklist is there in the MSFS2024 version of the EFB. I just shortened the process and did some short cuts

[@Faye-9896]

Soooo uhhh... Is this fixed now? Or does it still freeze and crash your game every time.

[@StevesSimStation]

I have yet to experience a crash or a freeze last few days its been flawless for me... I use flawless loosely lol still some minor glitches

[@Justin_SVT]

I've only crashed once using the A400 but my buddy, who has a much better PC than me, gets constant crashes. There's also this bug with AP that will lock out your controls entirely even when you manually override.

[@randyorton6198]

This plane don't work on xbox yet. Freezes on on the runway

[@Keysersausage]

I really love aircraft that don't look like they should be able to get in the air, just a weird fetish I guess :)

[@StevesSimStation]

Planes like this are a great marvel to look at. The engineering it takes is mind blowing

[@Italiancapybora]

Am i the only one with no bugs on console

[@danielh1708]

Gear retraction in the real aircraft is nowhere near that slow...its just modeled horribly....like MSFS 2024 is overall.

[@StevesSimStation]

Updates... it will need updates and Im sure Microsoft was scrambling to put them together

[@danielh1708]

@@StevesSimStation 2024 is literally 2020 with some lipstick on it. Terrible trash.

[@MrHaaspaul]

MSFS 2024 SUCKS !!! Give me the 2020 version……much, much better on Xbox ! ( I know it’s early but I’m NOT waiting years for it to get polished ! ).

[@definitively_not_me]

Why are you watching the video then

[@bassgaming1811]

[@StevesSimStation]

Xbox is having a rough go with with 2024 and seems PC isnt as bad but still far from perfect. In time things will get better. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

[@-Kal-]

For my uses: PC, VR, helicopters, I've had an OK experience so far. I had the 97% bug once and queues on day 1 like everyone else but it was smooth sailing after that, fingers crossed. It's a shame that a game that works on day 1 is becoming a thing of the past though.
