This is easily the best made tutorial for MSFS 2020! And I have seen *A LOT*! No blabla - no lenghty deviations - up to the point, clear language, good speed. Thank you very much for this tutorial!! It literally enables me to fly that bird! Great Job!!!

[@roxg854]

I have to say this is one of the best FlybyWire tutorials on KZbin! The tempo is beautifully set with additional information. For a beginner like me it’s a massive thumbs up! There is one thing id like to know. A Simbrief tutorial to show where we can get our information to input into the FlybyWire A32NX MCDU, including flex temp and other in-depth calculations. Would be great. Keep up the awesome content and this is a definitely a SUBSCRIBE.😊

[@minobg79]

Fantastic guide. As a total noob going into FS2020 I was flying the GA planes until now, finally brave enough to try big ones. :) I have watched few FBW A32NX guides, but all of them confused me after while. This one is just perfect. You kept it as simple as it gets, straightforward but just enough informative, without being overwhelming. Excellent job, thank you very much.

[@cottydry]

WOW!! There are a gazillion FS/A320 videos but this one is the best. This one covers everything, answered a lot of my questions and is pretty easy to follow. Well done!!!

Hi Bull, thanks! Just tested and all of that works on the development version. But I can't set managed speed mode while on the ground. Works after takeoff.

[@LordLookas]

got the same thing and its driving me nuts. It was working fine before sim update 5, now I cant turn on/off the lights, the buttons seem to be unclickable. I got the version installed from within the sim. Im gonna try removing it and using the fly by wire installer instead to see if it helps.

@@LordLookas I think that is how you need to do it. Remove the stock plane from MSFS and install the Fly By Wire only.

[@mysarah44]

Hi. Very informative stream. the only error or omission I found was you turned on the NAV lights after push back. I worked as a ramp supervisor for ten years. i found the nav lights were usually one of the first items done after battery on. many ground services at my airport were not allowed to approach a totally dark aircraft (needed at least nav lights)!

[@SafwanAviation]

Yea I have taken many flights and have always seen that the NAV lights are the first ones on!

[@YodaWasSith]

Thank you for this tip.

[@fomenkop]

Thank you for the info

[@MrJahm1500]

I was actually bout to type that the nav lights were turned on after pushback. I think u should turn them on once u have batteries and ext power on. I don't think he used ext power on as well. Also I think that ur supposed to turn the strobe lights on once ur cleared for departure

[@bonkersbeaver9919]

Also, when he aligned the IRS he went from left to right but in reality it should be done left, right, middle.

Before turning on any power, you should have included a wiper check when first coming up to the Over Head Panel. This may have been pointed out below, but just in case I am mentioning it here. Didn't get any further in the video as it is late here. Didn't want to forget.

[@TheFlightSimDeck]

I know I thought of that after. That is a pre-power check for sure. I mean realistically they won’t be on in this sim from cold, but if we’re going to run this aa real as possible that needs to be checked. I’ll annotate it on screen at that point with the text editor.

Very nice ... I have downloaded the latest Development version and notice many issues with the FCU (to panel) Is it important to continually download updates ? or is that just periodic ? Being April 2022 have you found issues with AP and VS and various other items ? MCDU no longer has OPTIONS on MCDU MENU. Hoping to see these fixed, or discover the MIS USE of the devices by the pilot (me...). I do note that someone commented on DELETEING THE MSFS version of the A320, I will try that I suppose... Also I cannot seem to use the TRIM Knob except when I am on the ground even with all AP and FD buttons OFF.

Wow, very nice video dude. I LOVE the way you explain everything in such detail. But it would be great if i can fly the A320 in MFS2020 or any plane for that matter. :-( Ever since the 5 update a week ago, my system crashes badly. No matter what i do and I even had a computer tech come to my house and check all my settings and nothing he does makes it so i can fly any plane in MFS2020. :-( It was working 110% perfectly before the 5 update. So I'm back to flying the Tolis A321 in X-Plane 11 for now.

[@TheFlightSimDeck]

Thanks Jim! I responded to your other comment too about some of these things, and what else to try. I’m hoping it works for you soon!

[@TboneSRT]

Great video! I did the same route as you and for whatever reason I have breaks in my flight plan!! Or discontinuities

[@TheFlightSimDeck]

That’s probably more accurate to how it actually is. It might have those right after a SID ends and transitions to the rest of the route, or sometimes right before the STAR begins and usually before the final runway approach. Just have to clear them as you go or before hand.

Best and most understandable A32nx tutorial ever. One question, please: any idea on why there's no TOD arrow indication (as shown in your video at 28:11) on the MCDU after A32nx version 6.0? Or do I have to enable it somehow? Thank you very much

[@TheFlightSimDeck]

Thank you so much! It should be there but from what I know it’s still not working yet. I’m using the latest development version. The one shown in the video was the marker to show you when you are making it to the MCP altitude you have set. For some reason it stayed on and looked like it was the TOD marker. I hope that makes sense. Eventually it should work after one of these updates.

Hello, I have a problem with the mcdu, in the flight plan when im inserting the arrival star, it dosent show the runway 07L in Hong Kong airport. Another problem with the departure, I cant find the sid implemented in simbreif. Is this a flybywire problem or sim?

[@davidcox2106]

Hi there. I have just installed the A32NX and have noticed that acceleration down the runway on take off seems way to fast. If I compare it with the standard MSFS A320Neo which reaches 140 knots in 23 seconds, the A32NX reaches 140 knots in 17 seconds - is this realistic (I checked to ensure the MFS sim rate was x 1) or am I doing something wrong? Many thanks

[@bonnaud_dowell]

Hi there, Fantastic and helpful video. Forgive me for ignorance - but i used to fly FSX with the Aerosoft a320 before transitioning over to FS2020 and when setting up the flight, it would calculate (and show) the altitudes (I think what was called VNAV). and it would show where the altitude profile path should be on the descent etc. the CI would just all this. Is this function missing entirely from FBY's version?

[@Rookblunder]

When you push down on the knobs are you using the middle mouse or the left or right mouse button. Everytime I try to press with the middle roller it turns the knob. Sometimes they don't do anything when I click on them. Wondering if its just a bug. Because sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt.

I use left click. Each knob has two hover points for the mouse cursors. You’ll see the symbol change. One is to push the button and one is to pull.

[@billyrowe0064]

Where do you find the BARO at 31:15? Is it on the approach sheets?

[@TheFlightSimDeck]

With Airbus you don't have to include the runway elevation just the minimum number. Most of the time it's 200ft. More rarely it might be higher and that will be noted on the chart too. On Boeing for example, you do need to look at the chart because you need to add 200ft + the runway elevation. So if runway elevation is 114ft then you would add 200ft + 114ft and you would put 314ft for the baro and it will warn you at 200ft that you're at minimums.
