Did you manage to land safely? Let us know!

[@gothikaspawn]

I hit a tree outside Goodison...

[@emiliosgameywameys948]

I can now!

[@sneeks]

Yes thanks, this video has been a great help. My short test flight from Edinburgh to Glasgow was a success after I realised that I need to manually select a ILS approach in the flight planner screen, previously I’d been using the auto approach setting and wondering why it wasn’t navigating correctly.

[@FishStakes]

@@sneeks brilliant news! We do have a guide for flight planning on the channel if you need it. But it sounds like you’ve got things worked out now. Well done getting the plane down, it’s harder than it looks!

[@sneeks]

@@FishStakes Yes I’ve spotted that video and plan to watch that and a couple of your other videos tonight. A excellent help.

[@piggywise4205]

This is genuinely such a good tutorial I couldn’t really understand other ones but this one was very detailed and explained throughly just enough for starters I had a really smooth landing and approach and was so satisfying

[@FishStakes]

Thank you so much!

[@mistermeistermann]

I was trying to figure out to fly the A320, and this guide was by far the best one that touches the most crucial parts in able to fly. Great tutorial mate!

[@sneeks]

Perfectly timed, I’ve just finished the startup and takeoff tutorial and decided to look for this. Only uploaded 5 minutes ago lol

[@gothikaspawn]

James will be very pleased! Thank you for the comment Richard 👍

[@FishStakes]

Thank you, we try!

[@DaveTaste]

Lol

[@Matt-mv5tt]

Another tip, make sure your throttles are lined up with the climb detent. It is the first little arrow on the throttle labelled either CL or CLB. When you see the LVR CLB message flashing on the display screen, move it to that position. Despite it's name, the position will mange the throttle for the entire flight, including descent and approach. Then you just pull back to idle to land

[@IAmNotARobotPinkySwear]

Thanks! the LVR CLB flashing was bugging me b/c I did not know what it meant as I'm not too familiar with Airbus

[@HolyGuacamole311]

I had a successful flight from San Antonio to New York. Landed safely at LaGuardia, made my way to the gate, connected the jetway and killed power to the aircraft. Your landing tips worked perfectly! Thank you!

[@FishStakes]

Awesome news!

[@gene2640]

Just watched the three A320 tutorials and it really helps a lot. From Vancouver to Seattle with a smooth landing finish! Best tutorial and easy to understand. It's my first time playing it on a cold start as well. I'll be watching the startup for a while until i memorized all the switches. Thanks for this bro!

[@FishStakes]

Thank you! Glad you got down in one piece

[@karmabasedj8184]

One of the most detailed yet simplest ILS tutorials. Thx!

[@samgallagher2562]

I had been struggling with landing but this has helped alot. Thanks

[@Windycityflyer]

These videos are ultra helpful when jumping from lots of AI help to become a more self-sufficient simmer. Much appreciated.

[@garybanting-lee6670]

Thanks to your amazing tutorial, I have just made my first perfect landing and bang on the centre line. You made that so easy. Your a star and I am well chuffed !!

[@jediazp]

Wow. I loved these videos. I kind of taught myself most of the basic controls, but this gives me so much more ammunition to try new things. Thanks! Keep these coming!

[@DooD7942]

I'm 2yrs late on this vid but is the best explanation for us that ain't at that hardcore sim level. Very easy to understand and I'm absolutely grateful for what u do

[@JaggedRecordsVa]

You make things so damn simple. Just straight up what to do and when you need to do it. I can actually control this aircraft and move on from the Cessna… thank you so much!

[@Lantzens]

Thanks for these tutorials that described the steps in a straight forward and simple way. Much appreciated!

[@TheFalklands2006]

Mate, your videos are - in my humble opinion - the best on KZbin. Explained at every step, shown exactly what to do and what to look out for (other videos I found too complicated or, skipping information). I just successfully imputed my ILS flight plan from LFPG, Paris to EGLI, London at nightime (live weather/time and I was up late). Followed your other cracking video that got me up and in the air and this one got me down safely, back in good 'ole Blighty. From a happy Birkenhead lad, thanks very much 👍😊👍 🇬🇧

[@FishStakes]

Thank you, that’s very kind!

[@TheFalklands2006]

@@FishStakes One question, mate: I watched a pilot trainee video for ILS A320 landing (linked below) and after he pressed the LS button, he then pressed LOC and APPR before the diamonds had intersected on the heading/altitude. Is that possible in MSFS? Would it still work? Ta 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnrEfnSCf8-Ce8U

[@Pete1230]

Phenomenal. I did the Manchester - Helsinki flight from start to finish with your flight plan and it was amazing!! Great videos! Liked and subbed 👍👍👍

[@FishStakes]

Glad it helped!

[@MRGOLDENMUSIC]

explained absolutely brilliant just done my first pretty neat landing, got on ils and the approach really well, thanks man now to perfect it!! also watched some of your other videos on setting up flight planning, taking off, and setting up the first flight, i wouldnt be in the virtual skies without you man thankyou so much

[@GG_Booboo]

This was yet another amazing explanation, agreed that ATC doesn't give you enough time to land or when you see your close and want to start descending, they tell you to maintain your flight level lol!

[@kevin339]

This is the BEST tutorial series out there for flying the A320 in MFS. Seriously, thank you for this.

[@FishStakes]

Thank you!

[@jonnytoast]

This has been my quick reference to help my ils approaches. Had to work out some things but just wanted to say great job

[@furiousgeorge7727]

I cannot describe the joy from finding this beautiful tutorial that keeps in simple for beginners. TYSM

[@xburk550]

Absolutely loving this sim on Xbox Series X with mouse, keyboard and Hotus full kit. These lessons are much appreciated. Thank you.

[@drunkengamer6764]

Im using the same minus the keyboard

[@TinyTeeth437]

I successfully landed at Los Angeles Intl from Phoenix Sky Harbor using this tutorial. Very well explained and easy to follow, thanks

[@theholyjosh5384]

Thanks man, I'm currently in the air after watching the other two videos and now I feel confident enough to get back down 👍

[@L0CALDRUGMAN]

thanks for this easy to understand tutorial , finally understood ils and approach 100%

[@jamesnewdick7847]

awesome tut struggled to find waht i was missing and this explained everything. ill be going through all yuor videos now

[@Ticogaming5609]

Very good and understandable tutorials. Very hard to find helpful and quick videos now days. Thanks a lot

[@joelg8004]

This is phenomenal. Thank you for the easy to understand process!

[@DontEatFibre]

Subscribed. Thank you for these tutorials. They have tremendously helped me understand the mechanics in the game. I sometimes find it funny how little info the in-game training flights actually have and how much is left for the user to figure out through other ways. Great, easy to follow content!

[@FishStakes]

It is crazy how little the game teaches you, especially when there is so much to each aircraft

[@rgm4646]

You would have hated games in the 80 then. lol There was no other option we just had to figure it out. Of course I got it wrong most of the time. These videos have improved my flying and landing 150%!

[@xwing788]

this is a brilliant tutorial thank you fro taking the time ....im gonna bookmark the impotant parts and try it later ,great information on the different points/landmarks and what altitude to be at plus when to disengage the auto pilot....👍👏✌

[@hsahin1976]

I've been using PC for years to play games and I recently bought an Xbox and discovered this channel. Your content is very good especially your MSFS videos, I learned a lot. Thank you. Greeting from Türkiye.

[@maalintv8042]

Finished my flight from Munich to London on EasyJet thx for the helpful tutorials my buggy internet was annoying but still managed to land the bird safely thx again

[@DoctorSrideepMallick]

This was amazing! Worked first time for a different route, will take a while to get the controls down to memory but for now I'll be using these videos for every flight :) Its so hard as a beginner and overwhelming with all the controls especially on xbox but you've made it so easy to do a complete flight, so thank you!

[@FishStakes]

Thank you so much!

[@FunnyGamerI4785]

This is fun, I was making the glorius approach on Guayaquil airport and a plane just get over me and I had to do a go around but the tutorial was really great, congrats, new sub!

[@bluboy349]

Could get in the air ok.Now can get down safely.Brilliant tutorial James, real easy to follow and very clearly explained.Ta so much!

[@FishStakes]

Thanks! Where did you fly?

[@Parallelwurlds]

The lad has me spreading butter on runways. Master class tutorial 👍

[@AlvinVrr]

Tysm for this tutorial this deserves a sub

[@Bombastic_Spastic]

I did a landing at Cardiff thanks to this. 2nd time around as the first time I forgot to idle the engines and overshot but it did the trick.

[@GoBrokeHD]

Man this video helped so much, I thought my landing skills were fine until I saw this. Went from alright to perfect with just this video, thank you!

[@garybanting-lee6670]

For the 1st time in ages, I understood everything you said. What an amazing tutorial. Im following you from now on. Fantastic and thank you so much !!

[@FishStakes]

Thank you for the kind words

[@jamessrt]

Thank you for this, really helpful!

[@jackmchaledj]

Thanks for the video! I completed my first ever full flight thanks to you. MSFS glitched when I reached one of the waypoints and the nose of the plane shot upwards for no reason - kinda like the 737MAX lol 😂. But other than that, it was the smoothest flight ever! Thanks again.

[@pboytrif1]

Really awesome to watch and follow. You do a great job of explaining everything, very good narration voice, calming to listen to and follow

[@FishStakes]

Thank you!

[@_cube_09]

I firstly always landed and approached manually, then switched to the 747. I watched the 747 ils video and didn’t really manage to get the descent right. This video has helped me find out when to descent and how to perfectly land. Thx for the video

[@Codenamed_X]

Your videos are amazing man. Thanks.

[@nikolapfc89]

Landed in 0.5 speed 😂 Great video mate. I love this game.

[@ethenhunt4343]

Finally I managed to know when to press Loc and when to press approach,thanks a lot !

[@strangerinastrangeland9213]

Really good tutorial. Well explained. Thank you.

[@leptitroutier3150]

Very useful video for beginner !! Thank you very much !

[@MrJynxzi]

Just landed my first flight and it was soft but my autopilot broke at like 2000 ft so I took over thanks man wouldn’t have been able to do it without your vids

[@xxXpimentaXxx]

I was landing death stick, with this tutorial seems much less sweatier 😅😅😅😅. Now I can enjoy the game thanks to you.

[@FishStakes]

Enjoy your travels!

[@xxXpimentaXxx]

@@FishStakes thanks a lot, sorry for my bad English because I'm from Portugal. Every time I arrive on the final approach to the destinated lane the auto pilot makes me go around and around and doesn't land. I wonder what I'm doing wrong. Should i deactivate all the AI on the settings??. Tanks for the help.

[@FishStakes]

@@xxXpimentaXxx are you doing an ILS landing and have you made sure to select an ILS landing pattern in your flight plan?

[@xxXpimentaXxx]

@@FishStakes that was what I was doing wrong. Yesterday finally managed to do it right after watching your flight plan tutorial 😅😅😅. Tank you very much for your help.

[@rickdawg007]

I can't wait to try this today.

[@jackdavies8581]

Landed safely first time, this tutorial is awesome!

[@franksantiago9366]

Man, you're a great instructor. thank you for doing that. I'm going to try my first ILS landing today after I get out of work. Wish me a good landing. 🙂

[@acostavictor]

How was it?

[@nataranja3030]

Thanks for the tutorial! This is extremely helpful

[@emiliosgameywameys948]

Another great Video thank you!

[@Takhar7]

This was so helpful, and actually a lot of fun as well

[@eivindramsdal9496]

You are the man! This video is so helpful, thank u so much! A question: Is 139 always the landing speed?

[@archright388]

Wow! From you I just found out how to idle the throttle on gamepad! Thank you!

[@shayandutta2295]

Best Landing tutorial.

[@adamwyngaard3629]

Hi James, you make good videos, very clear and concise. Can you make a video where you show us how to add a refueling stop to the journey. Thank you

[@robinpanigrahi]

Excellent teaching by you Sir..need more.

[@czechshift3357]

Thank you very much for this video my landings are much better now, so thank you! :)

[@trashgamer3318]

I have the pc version with a joystick and everything and this really helped me

[@jonathanp89]

Cheers for the video lad, completed my first ils with g/s capture into egpf tonight. Is that what would be considered a CAT III Autoland? Can't wait for the study level 320 due out next week. You've got a new sub 😊

[@ohlalaledoell]

really helpful, thanks a lot!

[@brentconner5634]

Love this video thank you much great help

[@shreyaskalrao9779]

Thank you so much, great tutorial. Works on PC as well.

[@kevingaynor1115]

Great content FishStakes and very helpful. I learned a lot in your video and now I'm looking forward to putting it into practice. Would you be doing a video on the Xbox platform on how to setup multiple flight plans in one flight, like take off from one airport say Dublin and then fly to Liverpool and then on to Manchester airport. I have had a go of this using waypoints and then using GPS, however it's not the best approach and it gets messed up a bit. Would you know another way to do it on Xbox or have any advice.

[@johnhoward2798]

Yeh! I made it thanks to you. Now I will have to do it 100 more tiimes to do it on my own. Excellent video you should be proud of your teaching methods. If it is a team operation give the other members some recognition from me.

[@caspy1uk241]

so i have never in my flight sim days used all this stuff u have done in your last 3 videos... im a pc user and have followed your instructions from the simbrief video to the fms video now this one.. and yeah i managed to do what the plane is meant to do.. thank you for explaining things for total beginners.. unlike most of the other videos out their.. they seem to think u have half a clue.. new lease of life here now.. top class and im gona watch the rest of your videos..

[@FishStakes]

Thats great to hear!

[@ABbuilds]

Game changing! I’m brand new to MSFS - got an Xbox X and Velocity Flight Yoke just to learn how to sim - and after many botched nav and landing attempts started thinking if I’d wasted my cash!! (I’m not a ‘gamer’ by any means). But this video and your other A320 vids have helped massively! Just completed the same Manchester-Helsinki flight, now going to attempt to figure out another leg on my own… can’t thank you enough!

[@FishStakes]

Amazing! Good luck with your next journey

[@ABbuilds]

@@FishStakes I tried the EGCC-EFHK route one more time, and nailed the landing during a snow storm & zero visibility between 2000 until 800 feet! Proves your training works even in the worst weather 😁 I did get cocky and leave live weather on too, realised my error and just went with it!

[@fridjonvilhjalmsson2883]

This was a very pleasant experience and great landing with ILS. I would like to see ILS offset lading with explanations on how to line up for a successful landing. Thank you

[@zacharyreece2524]

[@FishStakes]

Thank you!

[@pecortes23]

Great video for learning! Yes, I managed to land safely in Madrid!! Thank you!

[@FishStakes]

Awesome!

[@effectspedals]

THAT WAS SO USEFUL! Only thing I have to do is figure out what the PC keys are for a couple of the XBOX controls you use. I am using Honeycomb Brava and Yoke controls. But, wow, so little real flying involved in using flightplans and autopilot... but, it is obvious that flying large jets must require more computer management then a single engine prop plane that can be more easily maneuvered. I'm gobsmacked by how much fun you've provided... I can't wait to attempt a repeat of this trip on my own in conjunction with your video references. THANKS!!

[@sergeifeklistov8834]
