A320 Home Cockpit Startup and Flight EDDM - EDDH
Please forgive all my uuhhhs and uummms and the bad general quality. This was filmed spontaneously with my phone in one hand after my post on reddit in r/flightsim got such overwhelming feedback.
In this video I go through startup, flight preparation, then flying from Munich to Hamburg while talking a little bit about my setup. If people are interested, I can make a video talking more in-depth about the technical details of my setup, the planning and construction.

    You've got an interesting video with a fully populated cockpit(Skalarki?) . Good thing your'e also open for suggestions. Most airlines put on the seatbelt signs at about 10000 feet I think, but in your airline they put it on at FL380 ;) But a very good flight in a nice cockpit, thank you !

    Hey, the maint problem was that Airbus prohibits GS or GS* if you do not have at least LOC*. So you need LOC* or LOC to get GS* or GS. At 1:22:14 you got the intercept course for the ILS14L but you were still pretty far out (maybe 3 miles) from the extended centerlice rwy 14L. Now, the GS was alive and as well as you at 4000ft but the localiser was not yet alive and as i said, you need LOC* to capture the GS. At 1:23:07 the controller told you to descend to 2500 feet and you should have used VS to stay below or on the GS (Groundspeed/60 x Angle of Descend (3° in cologne) x 100 gives you the appropriate Vertical Speed, so 170/60 x 3 x 100 = 850 feet/minute). Now the problem is that the GS goes below you and you land up above the GS. At 1:23:46 you should have use VS to descend with the GS. Also you went direct to the outer marker which was not nessecary because the Localiser would have turned you on the final anyways and you were still about 1 mile out. At 1:24:46 the localiser became alive so that wouldn't have been a problem. And finally at 1:25:12 the capture mode became active (LOC*) and as you see, immediatly GS* comes on . So in conclusion the controller turned you in pretty early so you were not able to get LOC*, you should have used VS to stay on the GS and waited till LOC* became alive so that GS* can come alive. Hope that helps!

    • @a320home9
      @a320home9 Před 2 měsíci

      Hey, thanks for the detailed analysis. You are totally right. Normally I was expecting LOC come alive first or together with the GS. And yes, VS would have been way better, but I was so baffled at this moment why it did not capture the ILS, that all I could think of was disengaging the AP, because I thought it was faulty or I programmed it incorrectly. Well, next time I'll keep this scenario in mind. And when I cross the GS, engage VS until it is properly captured.

      @@animatedchristmascollector3754 I am using the default liveries coming with the aircraft, in which I have not seen Jetstar. But there is also an additional livery pack which might have it included. In the sim you select the aircraft and the liveries like any other. They are installed via the ProSim suite and executables. But ultimately they end up in the Community folder of MSFS like any other addon. Keep in mind that ProSim is tailored to heavy duty. So all patches, flight model updates etc. can be done very easily. E. g. if the suite detects an available patch, you can download and install it on the spot, and all other modules and clients even across your network on client PCs are automatically patched to the compatible version, even during runtime. Also a revert or downgrade is possible and as easy as an updgrade, since in the suite you see the whole version history and can just install the version you want, no matter if higher or lower than your current one. So after the initial install of the suite I never had to mess around on file system level again.

      @@a320home9 I know you were expecting to use managed speed all the way down, which appeared to be faulty, or it was going by the MAX speed limits which are not always recommended. Regardless, I always use selected speed to manage the aircraft's energy myself under 10,000ft with the idea of always being ahead of the plane. A big red flag during the approach was turning onto final approach at 220kts while on the glidepath. If it was me, I'd have dialed back the speed during those left turns while you had increased drag or better yet decend to the MSA and bleed that speed off. You cannot go down and slow down unfortunately, so you either decend, level off and bleed the speed or bleed the speed first and opt for a shallower decent starting further out. I personally perfer to decend first then bleed off the speed at idle thrust before decending again at a speed I know won't leave a heap of excess energy later on. Just my 2c on the matter, not a professional by any means :)
