My IFR flights NEVER go smoothly. ATC has me flying at 20000ft in approach then wants me to decend down to 1500ft when im so close to landing. Absolute joke.

[@neeraj_hk]

Try turning off live weather, that solved my issues with ATC getting the altitudes wrong, especially they painful moments of them repeating over and over again to maintain 16000, when I am at 16000!

[@Pianist7137Gaming]

same here, ATC tells me ascend to 21000ft, im ascending, ATC says descend to 20000ft, i descend, ATC says 21000ft and kept repeating the cycle. 🤣🤣

[@yaminrpatel94]

That is not a bug, it is because your Barometric altimeter is off, just reset that by clicking B and you will have the true altitude.

[@hajihabibiabudavid]

Yes! They had me climb to 37,000 then to 4,000 right as I approached the final. Wtf? I wasted a two hour flight because ATC is so broken.

[@TrendingHeadlinesTV]

What I do is follow your waypoints altitude as a guide; as you start your top of descent. As I am on my approach from top of descent, about 20 miles before the next way point, look at the altitude it displays and start descending to that given altitude about 20 miles before that waypoint. It usually works pretty well. It helps also to use LOC and Approach mode on final approach.

[@SebsTruckStop]

Done my first IFR flight using this video. Really well explained, thank you so much! I’m not great at is but I can tell that I’ll get it with practice

[@Reagbotics]

As someone who hasn’t played in years and finally gets to play this next week on the series X, this entire video was a godsend

I can immediately say to anyone thinking of using this tutorial use it. Clear and simple, learnt the A320 within one video.

[@GavStaR79]

Watched many videos but yours was simple and to the point and gave a A320 beginner like me all they needed to practice with. Thank you. Kudos. P.S. Great landing nonetheless considering you were using a keyboard only.

[@drunkengamer6764]

Hey man, ty so much for this video. I just started MSFS, on Xbox Series S, I’ve been flying the CJ4 for a little while having pretty good success, and recently bought the Thrustmaster HOTAS T Flight full kit, but haven’t had much time due to work to set it up. I’ve been wanting to try the A320, and I was having a lot of trouble with it, until I watched your video. Ty so much for making this video to explain it in simple terms. I’m not a pilot actually (I’m a truck driver, lol) but yeah, after applying what you said I made a very successful flight from Miami Fl, to Jacksonville Fl. Unfortunately I couldn’t get to the gate after landing because there was a graphical error on the taxiway causing the plane to get stuck, lol 😂. Anyways thx again, hope to see more beginner videos like this again sometime 👍🏻

[@Decivye]

Im really happy to hear that I have helped you out! Glad you enjoy the videos! Happy flying! :)

[@ToyotaNutjob]

Do not fly the cj4 it is probably one of the worst modeled aircrafts and is the most unrealistic plane in the game, known fact. It has its nickname as gta plane amongst the forums

Hi, guy, liked a lot your video, explained my doubts about input FP into FMC (not needed, thanks God !), so, one tip I give you, as I don´t have joysticks, or thrust levers on my PC setup, I use only the keyboard and sometimes, the 3d buttons and levers directly on plane cockpít, and I can tell you, that, when you cross the head of the runnway, during landing, you can just turn off autothrottle, and put thrust levers into idle, and turn off autopilot, in order to do a flare and lay down gently with rear landing gears onto the runway. And that´s it. A very nice video ! Congrats !

[@moonlighthowl]

Superb. THANKS!

Good afternoon Commander, you can make a tutorial on the fs2020 cameras and which keys, I see that you put the camera on the wing and that it runs directly into the cockpit, I still know how to do that, being able to help would help the simulator community, thanks, and a hug from Portugal

This is a very good intro to the basics of FS's version of IFR flight and, as demonstrated by all the positive comments, helpful to many. So, nice job. Maybe I missed it, but did ATC not assign you in steps to your planned cruising altitude? It seemed that you stayed at 6000ft. Was that your requested cruise altitude in your flight plan? EDIT: Sorry, disgregard. I went back and see that you selected low altitude airways. Sorry, my oversight.

[@michael.c.863]

thank you so much!!!

[@ellonysman]

Thank you for this video. In trying to figure out the Garmin radios and all lll the various terms in Navigation, I'm going crazy! This simplified autopilot system will train me😮😅. What about adapting a route thru mountains? Is it still automatically preferred? Who flies without a joystick? It's essential flying fun.❤😅

[@sniper2217]

Landed that hard on a VA 747-400 years ago when I saw a bottle of whisky on the flight deck. Good times!

[@minecraftcuber4760]

Great vid as always ,but if you realised Atc voice was not switched on , why not restart the video?

[@mahmoodnshah]

Very informative for amateurs, the only question, the ATC last said 2600, then with auto pilot, how did u descend? To get to landing

[@mdv3977]

thank you sooooo much

Hey ! Very good video, but shortly, how can i navigate at the taxi ways to the runway. I have put those assistant lines on but i want to get rid of them. Any tips?

[@sebestianshultz7458]

Great video.....

[@Decivye]

Thank you!

[@jeb-f8r]

on the part where you start curving to approach the runway, do you just leave autopilot on, or have it on but like change heading, or take manual control?

[@Apollyon_Rev911]

Great video! What exactly does LOC and approach mode do?

[@Decivye]

Thank you glad you enjoyed it! LOC makes autopilot line up with the localizer and approach mode lines up with the glide slope. If you want to know more about it watch my ILS videos :)

@@Decivye I sure will. Thanks again.

[@gus6777]

I am not sure if you noticed but your ATC is off. I didn't hear you make mention of it once

i was runway insite about 2000 alt ILS captured and then for some reason when i clicked approach the plane's speed shot up to 250 and i started climbing like crazy :( nvm restarted my try and ir worked great i must have mis clicked auto thrust or something, thank you!

[@madzangels]

Laughed my ass off when I heard and then saw the 'I won't be turning off autopilot for this landing' then promptly went onto severe many 100's of passengers spinal chords

[@nivkys]

i cant taxi cause im sqwrving all over the lines pls help I don't know how to taxi takeoff or anything

[@nigelsmith721]

If you have a Flight Plan fully setup then you can have the aircraft fly that plan perfectly - 1. set throttle to CL detent after take-off (the autothrottle then looks after everything throughout the flight). 2. Make sure Flight Director (FD) is on before you take-off then when you activate the autopilot the aircraft computers will follow the flight plan exactly - no need to input heading or course info - only altitude info needs to be adjusted by the pilot.

[@OPPLAYER57_YT]

Is “engaged heading mode” or whatever it was called a forgot now lol the same as “track mode” now or is it different. Thanks.

[@GreggRoberts]

I don't like ILS because once you are airborne you cannot make any changes to the AP.

[@Mat.Carvalho]

Sometimes I can’t engage managed heading mode. If I touch that dial and it leaves managed heading it just won’t go back.

[@rohanpiplani3060]

Why is my a320 keep going random directions when i engage managed heading mode?

[@matz5567]

Hey! my ifr doesnt tell me to decent, so when i arrive at the airport to land, im still at 6000ft and never get any demands to decent. You got any tips for what causes that issue?

[@BeezyKing99]

Since only *JUST* starting playing myself on PC (Xbox for windows 10) the live weather function has ceased to work entirely… anyone else having that issue?

how do you set your altitude hold to 4500ft?? i only set it in steps of thousands

[@jnorm0075]

I was hoping this video would show how to do a ifr flight directly in the radio in the 320. Doing it in the menu is easy and automatically feeds into any aircraft. Anyone have recommended youtube videos on how to setup ifr in the plane? I got the boeing down but the 320 is a different animal

[@dgcroblox]

okay so youre ils was on automatically mine wasnt i guessed to switch it on but then it was too late i got the localiser but missed the glidescope , you dont mention if you need to put youre flight director on or not & my altimeter thingy changed again to 29.80 you dont mention that could happen or what it means or what to do... you dont mention that you can put the plane in managed speed mode for landing or not . please would you make another video because it is more helpful than most vidoes but its still not followable because of what i mentioned in this comment & my previous comment

[@allanm7220]

When I mouse over ALT to engage manage mode, my cursor only shows a hand , no pointer.?

[@adamthestarlord9595]

Same. Can’t find a solution

[@ragingscorpio3403]

Is the engine must be start when pushback or in start up?

[@cristianmauro1040]

How about to setup manually inside aircraft ? can you make another video thanks

[@Denzamusic]

You want the half full experience i see. Using the mcdu or what it is called in this sim is not even near life. It is for obvious reasons simplified from pilot to toddler. So we gamers actually don’t learn to fly for real. Haha. It is fun to use the flight planner inside cockpit and set up nav and stuff like that.

[@TheCheeseFactor11]

It won’t let me do a ILS approach can someone help?

[@benjamintorres8057]

Why didnt you turn on the flight director? I tried to do an IFR today, the aircraft spawned ready on the runway with the FD ON. What is it for?

[@skyhawk_4526]

It gives you a visual cue on the primary flight display to indicate where the airplane wants to be. When turned on, there are magenta crosshairs displayed over the artificial horizon and they move based on the vertical and lateral courses that are set in the flight plan and/or what's programmed into the autopilot mode control panel.

[@nlvkanada]

My auto pilot keeps disconnecting and sometimes the auto pilot will start turning the opposite direction of the flight path randomly. Any thoughts?

[@Decivye]

know bug for autopilot to go off track. Just click escape and go back into the game it should correct.
