Hi. As a relatively new simmer, I found this tutorial very easy to follow and also with enough depth to be quite realistic compared to some other tutorials I have been following. Thanks very much. Look forward to more tutorials.

[@seven3simmer]

Hi… welcome to the flight sim community! I’m glad you found the video helpful, thanks so much for watching & commenting, appreciated. Happy simming 👍✈️

[@GL-777]

No need to enter takeoff data manually - just click confirm data and it populates (V speeds).

[@aayata]

where & how?

[@bi0h4z4rd4]

​@@aayataIn the Perf screen when you send the t/o data from the efb it should Immediately say confirm to data, just click it and it will autofill.

Great tutorial. One comment; Airbus procedures state; "Do not turn on the center tank pumps, if the center tank contains less than 2,000 kg of fuel, even if it is requested by another procedure". So, with lighter loads the center tank may or may not contain fuel.

[@FrankBoyce-sf7eu]

Absolutely brilliant, but how did you manage to transfer the simbrief from pc to the plane running on xbox. I am struggling with that at the moment.

[@seven3simmer]

Hey, thanks! You need to add your Simbrief username into the settings section of the flight tablet. Then once you’ve generated a flight plan in Simbrief it’ll pull directly into the tablet. From there you can also import it into the FMS as I do in the video. Hope this helps, happy simming 👍✈️

[@DatDat59]

Make sure to enter your ID in the EFB using the virtual keyboard of the tablet, not the Xbox’s one. Make sure to also enter the same ID in the MCDU under the MCDU MENU and - < ATSU

[@pokezephyt6969]

generate a flight plan on simbrief and go to the ofp on the tablet, put in ur simbrief pilot id which u can find on the simbrief account settings/info. so put the id on the tablet and ur set

[@Andromeda-57]

Hello great video, but I was wondering how to contact ATC? because it won't work for me but when I set its config for takeoff it does. What do I need to do to?

[@seven3simmer]

Hi… thanks for your question. Go into the menu at the top and click on the ATC tower icon… from there you can tune in the relevant frequencies for ground / tower etc. although to be honest I rarely use the in game ATC as it’s generally a bit rubbish! Thanks for watching & commenting, appreciated 👍✈️

[@cenekhorejsi]

​@@seven3simmerHi, from my experience with the A320 v2, I am not able to tune in any ATC channels until I press the "Ready for takeoff" button in the Panel state menu on the EFB. But when you press the Ready for takeoff state button, all input in the FMS disappears, and the engines start automatically, which also prevents me from accessing the INIT B page in the FMS, after deleting all the inputted weight info. Do you have any idea why that might be? Because of this I cannot get any ATC clearance before starting all the engines.

[@CamronSpilios]

@@cenekhorejsi what u have to do is go a little under mcdu and there those buttons you have to click captain 1 and turn the volume all the way up then click call

[@adrianramdeholl]

Hey how did you set the custom camera views and when I fly the aircraft in the interior of the showcase view, and when I start the engines, I hear the outside sound of the engine and I don’t hear the inside. Can you tell me how you get the interior noise in the custom camera views because I am on Xbox too you know. So can you please reach back to me the way how to do it and if I don’t understand, can you make a video about it. Tks bro

[@adrianramdeholl]

I also have a keyboard and a mouse if you want to know to save time

[@seven3simmer]

Hi Adrian… thanks for your question. There’s a little camera glitch you need to do to get the interior camera outside the plane. You basically set your camera view to the co-pilots side using the camera menu… then you need to pan all the way over to the pilots window… then change the camera to the pilots side. That will force your camera outside. Then you can move it around… press CTRL ALT and any number 0-9 to save the views… then ALT and the number recall / show the saved views. You then repeat the process for the opposite side of the plane. It’s little convoluted but once you’ve done it 1 time you’ve got them saved. Hope this makes some kind of sense! Maybe I’ll do a video 😂. Thanks for watching, much appreciated 👍✈️

[@adrianramdeholl]

Alright thanks man for the help I appreciate it

Hi Samuel… thanks so much, appreciated. Make sure you press AP1 to engage Autopilot and the plane should follow your flight plan etc. Thanks for watching & commenting 👍✈️

[@ted1bates]

Congrats on excellent videos. However, the aircraft on xbox is a disaster. It works when it wants to, doesn't follow the flight plan most of the time. The throttle quadrant is a glitchy, sticky mess AFTER configuration. It may not be study level, but at least the default Asobo a320 works with no issues. You can plan a custom flight in the World Map which it follows, enter the CORRECT ILS frequency which it follows and it puts the fun back into flying. One thing though Asobo will need to make sure with fs2024, is that all aircraft and avionics should work as they do as with their real-world counterparts. Apologies for the rant.

[@seven3simmer]

Hi Ted, thanks for the kind words and no worries, we all love a good rant! I understand your frustrations. Let’s hope there’s some improvement from Asobo’s side for the console users in 2024. Cheers for watching, appreciated ✈️👍

I'm unsure if I'm missing something but after takeoff when I apply the AP it seems like it doesn't want to fly to the simbrief flight plan?

Hi, that sounds strange. Just double check you’ve added your SID correctly in the FMS and you’ve also configured everything in the FCU. Hopefully you get it sorted. Thanks for watching & commenting 👍✈️

Hi Daniel… thanks for the question. If you want to manually tune an ILS frequency you just need to hit the RAD NAV button on the FMS and you can manually add the frequency along with any other VORs etc that you wish to tune. Hope this helps, thanks for watching ✈️👊

I have a problem with the plane, which is that the autopilot is not working properly and the ground movement is not working correctly. It is working in the opposite direction. Does it have a solution?

[@seven3simmer]

Hey thanks for your message… that’s annoying the autopilot is giving you trouble. It could be a number of things but just go through your setup and make sure you’ve gone through all the steps, ensure your SID is correctly input and you’ve set all your performance data in the FMS for take off. With regards to steering on the ground that’s how rudders work - in the opposite direction to what you’d expect. If you wanted to switch it to work the other way just go into your controller settings and reverse the rudder axis. Thanks for watching and happy simming 👍✈️

[@MIG.aviation]

When I fly or taxi the aircraft either has 0 throttle or full throttle and won't go in the middle, when I fly the autopilot doesn't follow my flight plan

[@seven3simmer]

Sounds like you need to calibrate your throttles maybe? Not sure why the AP isn’t following the flight plan, just make sure all your waypoints are correct in the FMS and you don’t have any discontinuities etc. cheers for watching ✈️👊

[@seven3simmer]

Hey, that doesn’t sound good. I’ve heard there are quite a few glaring bugs with the inibuilds A320. Just make sure you’ve input the correct SID data into the FMS and have enabled AP1. Are you on PC or XBOX? If you’re on PC try the Flybywire A32NX as an alternative or the Fenix. The depths of systems are by far better than the inibuilds. Thanks for watching & commenting.

That sucks man, just double check you have generated your flight plan in Simbrief, then look in the settings on the flight tablet to check your Simbrief account is linked.

I found that when landing, the plan doesn’t slow down until literally just before touch down, even if I set the speed manually it takes an age to slow down. am I doing something wrong? and also, what are your settings with the steering? I currently have the tiller off, and the options on the EFB set to rudder controls tiller - yes and auto disconnect - no.
