[@SimHangerFS]

Part two now available here kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqGTfHSVibWXqNk

[@surfman88]

Compliments for calm and complete explanation. On every other video im constantly rewinding.

[@JanStrojil]

I have watched the tutorials from 320 sim pilot and Into the Blue Simulations (both real 320 pilots) and I must say you did a splendid job! Can’t wait for part two! Thank you.

[@kevoman4980]

I did purchase the sim. It’s amazingly accurate. I am a A320 captain for a major airline and this is spot on!!

[@thomashopkins8439]

mark. made a perfect flight into Geneva , i have to say i couldnt have done it without you so i thank you for a wonderful video . keep them going mark.....

[@NormanHolden]

Thanks!

[@SimHangerFS]

You are simply amazing, thank you so much.

[@ianpollard4138]

I've been putting off flying this for months due to complexity. Your video really helps. Thanks

[@richardswede]

Mark, you are my Fenix Flight Manual. I can't and certainly Won't say i have mastered the A320, but with you help i am up and running, or should i say Up and flying ! Just got your landing vid to watch now and thats the full journey completed, from Peripheral configuration, through Fenix settings to Flying. Amazing!! Now just the PMDG 737 to do!! Thank you sir for your time educating us, and your brilliant instructional technique.

[@caribbaviator7058]

For some reason I found the 737 to be easier to setup!

[@michaelhamilton6553]

Great video. Easy to understand and very informative. Bought the Fenix A320 with absolutely no idea how to fly it but between your videos and 320 sim pilot's videos I've finally been able to get this bird in the air. Of course safely landing it, that's another matter entirely 😁

[@SimHangerFS]

Fly the Fenix A320! Tutorial from a bush pilot! 😂Hope this helps those new to airliner ops. Not fully comprehansive, but includes all necessary details

[@strangelynormal2]

I have 6 pages of notes. Awesome instructional video.

[@SimHangerFS]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ksnede]

Thanks for a good video,Saw one for Fenix from A320 Simpilot as Well, but finds yours much better as you tell whats needed and not a lot of stuff, you dont really need as a sim pilot, but Might be important in the real plane. Thanks Again !! Keep up the good work….

[@robertcummings7890]

Thanks Mark, your video’s are so well done, fantastic instructions. You really improve my enjoyment of Flight Simulation. Bob

[@caribbaviator7058]

A lot to learn with that aircraft and PMDG and I find simbrief quite complicated! Still learning the ropes!

[@MultiSquashman]

Brilliant video Mark, I’m looking at upgrading from GA aircraft to airliners and find this valuable information. Looking forward to part 2

[@baomao7243]

Nice review. I may have to acquire this as part of my “extend beyond light aircraft” and “learn new systems” cravings. Thank you.

[@zebraafs]

special thanks to the best teacher for msfs!!!

[@peterdr7193]

Hi Mark, this is a very nice, very clear video and most important very understandable for non-English talking people. Most of the (RL) pilots are speaking much too fast (and sometimes with an accent …) which is quite difficult to understand. My congratulations and I’m looking out for other video’s from you. Btw I subscribed on your channel.

[@michielvdMeulen1]

Many thanks for this clear video Mark , I have learned some new things😁

[@dishantlalwani]

thank you finally understood how this machine flies excellent explanation cheers do you have an approach tutorial as well ??

[@thomashopkins8439]

hi mark .great video as iive said .just one thing where did youget the qnh from you never showed that on the video .cheers Tom.

[@McFly767]

Mark, thanks for all your videos. I recently bought the Fenix A320 add-on and your videos have been absolutely crucial in getting things up and running, I appreciate all the time you have put in. I'm a 320 captain for one of the big airlines here in the States and find the Fenix A320 nearly perfect. There is one thing that is perplexing me however: I can't seem to figure out how to Load a SAVED flight from "this PC" when flying the Fenix. It's very important to me to be able to save a flight in certain positions to be able to go back and start from that point again. In the training world we call that a "snap". 5 mile final, radar dogleg, top of decent, etc., all typical "snaps". It seems to save fine, but when loading, it seems to load the position, but the aircraft ends up on the ground. Have you encountered this? Thanks for the vector! - Mike

[@SimHangerFS]

Hi Mike. Yes I have and it’s very frustrating. Doesn’t happen all the time for me. Make sure when loading…the default start status is not cold & dark, but ready to go. This seems to help…sometimes.

[@robertshepherd5684]

Love your videos man! I save all of them in my MSFS saved videos folder! … One thing, how are you setting up your wingviews like that?

[@threefatking256]

Thank you very much for the nice video uploaded. I would like to know about one more thing here. Is the subscription of official Navigraph -Standard- enough to get Fenix A320 PAD working for build-in Navigraph app to checking various Navigraph charts?

[@maximalniy]

Thanks for video, Sir! Do you know how to configure airplane so that when I choose only the airport for arrival and no departure and I'm airborne a plane is already configured with flaps all down and landing gear down but I would like them to be all up so that I could initiate that process by myself, thanks!

[@SimHangerFS]

Select a higher altitude. Starting a flight from a custom waypoint should start gear up and flaps up, subject to your controller settings.

[@maximalniy]

Thank you, sir, but how can I choose another altitude, there is only From tab and To where

[@SimHangerFS]

@@maximalniy in the world map make your flight plan IFR and then select the nav log tab that appears. See here this may help kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJTOf4SfatmrY80

[@thomasbriscoe120]

Thanks Mark for another great tutorial video. Has there been an issue with getting heading selector engaged to follow the route in the FMS. Once I engage the Autopilot, can't get the dot when I click the up arrow on the heading selector.

[@SimHangerFS]

No I haven’t, make sure FD is on.

[@alanstringer9819]

Hi. Can you tell me what EBBR addon you have installed and where you got it from please . I have the basic scenery that came with msfs and its not very good. The tutorial the best I've ever seen. Thanks Alan

[@SimHangerFS]

Hi Alan, details here kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5Ong3uwbbt-nrs

[@brazeagle]

Thanks for the video. I am unable to use FENIX Airbus, I followed your instructions and several others online, but my FLIGHT PLAN will not work. I either cannot delete a flight discontinuity loaded in my SEC flight plan, as I cannot use the primary Flight plan, it does not allow me to enter or delete data. Any help please? thanks a lot, Cheers Luiz

[@SimHangerFS]

Make sure you start cold and dark before bringing in a flight plan from SimBrief. If start engines running it will not work.

[@iallaway]

Hi Mark, I don’t know why but I can never seem to keep aircraft straight when taking off in fenix. It’s like rudder is so sensitive. It is ok when taxiing. I have the Thrustmaster TFRP pedals. It is calibrated, and I have no keyboard mappings for any flight controls. Not sure if you could throw any light into this for me. Great videos, thank you.

[@SimHangerFS]

Adjust the rudder axis sensitivity. Turn it down.

[@iallaway]

@@SimHangerFS Thank you. Sens are both -32 Dead Z is 9 Neut is 0 Extr DZ is 0 and React is 100

[@SimHangerFS]

@@iallaway wow…sorry not sure… suggest contacting TM?

[@iallaway]

@@SimHangerFS Ok Thank you for your help. I may remove Fenix and reinstall as I dont think I installed as Admin.

[@NormanHolden]

Where did you find the Flight Number/Call Sign "EZS1534" that you used?

[@SimHangerFS]

I use this site to select real world flights uk.flightaware.com/

[@NormanHolden]

@@SimHangerFS Thanks Mark - very much appreciated

[@nicholaswarner5475]

Hi Mark, Can you use Navichart & Simbrief through Xbox X. .?

[@SimHangerFS]

Not yet. Hoping this will come following updates later this year.

[@serjkulkul4897]

when will be available fenix a320 for xbox?

[@NormanHolden]

Everything appears OK but it is not following the flight plan. It shows HDG in Green with NAV in Blue below it and under the Flight Plan it shows "No Nav Intercept" this is at Cruising Altitude FL310 and right on the Flight Plan path. This has happened on 3 flights I have attempted to fly EBBR/LSGG -- any comment/advice will be very much appreciated.

[@Lonsome1223]

I've noticed since installing aerosoft simple traffic airliners have started appearing on GA Airports sitting on the grass. Very strange i wonder if It's connected.

[@NormanHolden]

In my EFB the Navigraph Airac cycle shows 2207 effective 14JUL22 but in the FMGC it shows Active Nav Data Base 19MAY22-15JUN22 which is Cycle 2205 - I would appreciate any comment/advice if this is normal and if there is any to upgrade the FMGC - I also have a CHG CODE with brackets allowing an entry to be made - any comment/advice about this would also be much appreciated

[@NormanHolden]

I have found the solution

[@ollieevans1557]

i click INIT request but nothing happens im using simbrief and everything

[@kevoman4980]

Do you have a discount code for the Fenix A-230?

[@SimHangerFS]

No I don’t.

[@scarzy7343]

so the FREE FBW enters all data manually for u but if im PAYING i have to do it myself....

[@SimHangerFS]

You can now import direct from SimBrief. Still some manual input though.

[@NormanHolden]

I have "flt plan discontinuity" how do you get rid of them? would really appreciate any comment/advice

[@SimHangerFS]

It’s in the video.... select CLR then click next to the entry.

[@NormanHolden]

@@SimHangerFS Thanks for the prompt response - yes I saw that but when I do so I get a message "NOT ALLOWED"

[@NormanHolden]

@@SimHangerFS Yes I saw it -- when I use this I get the message "NOT ALLOWED"

[@SimHangerFS]

@@NormanHolden make sure you clear the scratch pad first by deleting all messages using CLR first.

[@NormanHolden]

I hand fly until about 1500/2000 ft but the auto pilot will not engage - I have no TO conflict prior to take off - this has occurred on my last 3 attempts -- any comments/advice would be greatly appreciated

[@SimHangerFS]

Norman, the Airbus has a number of safety features with are built into the Fenix model. If your aircraft configuration is out side of these auto pilot will not engage. Review such things as your autothrust setting, attitude etc. also check you have the latest update. Last option is to check that your mouse interaction is set to Legacy and not Lock….very important. If I remember correctly this is under general settings and accessibility.

[@NormanHolden]

@@SimHangerFS Thanks Mark - gave it another couple of tries - everything appears OK until I try to engage the autopilot -- have decided to "give it a rest" as my frustration levels are just too high at the moment - thanks again and "Cheers"

[@SimHangerFS]

@@NormanHolden have you looked here kb.fenixsim.com/technical-support-queries

[@NormanHolden]

@@SimHangerFS G'day Mark - the link was certainly helpful - it led me to "Pred W/S" (windshear) switch was off which appears to have inhibited the Autopilot -- now I have managed to get up to the cruise stage I will attempt land safely - with the help of Part 2 - Stay safe - "Cheers" PS - sometimes I am struggling a little but as I will be celebrating my 88th birthday next month I find myself using the expression "c'est la vie"more often!

@@NormanHolden Fantastic…on both accounts and happy birthday 🎂

[@Randomy5428]

I keep getting fault on Master SW for the APU.Not sure why!!!

[@SimHangerFS]

Have you updated to latest version?

[@Randomy5428]

@@SimHangerFS Yes that has nothing to do with it though. Do not have this issue with the 737

[@pdep]

High-quality content and presentation as always [well done], but the video focus is poor, and many instrument readings are barely legible.

[@WR5RR]

I have this airplane. I guess it's good not for me. Too much work, back to the Toliss for fun.

[@mmorrell2007]

Probably the most annoying voice in any FS tutorial on the network. His is content is good but his voice is fingernails on the chalkboard for me.... But thats me,

What a hateful and unnecessary comment. I hope you feel better after that.
