I am a real world Airbus pilot with thousands of hours flying the real aircraft and thought it would be fun to have a look at the new detailed simulation of the longest baby 'bus by Toliss as well as the new MSFS a320 NEO. Hopefully you find this useful and it brings another perspective to your simulation. Any thoughts or comments are welcome!

I am "Sim-Qualifying" myself on the Fenix A-320. I am a real life pilot who is currently on the 777. Getting ready to retire 9/23. You, sir, are my ONLY resource for training my sim-brain to manage this product. Outstanding! Thank you so much. What a blast!
That's amazing 🎉 I guess you've retired now captain?
@@hjr2000 yes sir. I retired on September 6th of 2023. Thanks again for your help way back when!
@@FatherTime1958 Oh it's 320 Sim Pilot you need to thank. How's your flight simming coming along?
This whole Fenix A320 series has actually helped me figure out lots of things even though I've been flying FBW A320 for more than a year now. Thanks a lot!
Glad to hear it, thanks!
@@320SimPilot hey how often on a percentage in real life do you keep everything in managed especially the decent?
That's why study levels are so worthwhile
@@320SimPilot ?
@@markjackson5333 Often you will be vectored during approaches and be given a certain amount of track miles to fly. To then be able to do a continuous descent approach (CDA) it could be best to do it in VS rather than managed descent. You could also get speed constraints by ATC and will therefore have to manually set the speed. Theres also instances where the ATC wants you to descend with a certain vertical speed due to traffic or airspace restrictions. :D
Wow!! When you say that you are a real Airbus pilot you are not lying whatsoever; your years of experience and your thousands of hours that you have dedicated into flying are a clear reflection that you know what you’re talking about! Great video! 🔥
This just goes to show you can always learn from a pro. I thought I had a handle on approach configuration but I learned yet more nuances for use in the more hi-fidelity Fenix. Thanks PF!
Thanks for watching and glad to hear you found it useful Sledge!
Isn't it obvious that you can learn from a pro?
@@Kaarna5 Look at you trying to be a troll for absolutely no reason
I thought in the first video that we’d completely programmed the fmc with everything we needed to land. I tried the flight and it completely fell apart at the approach, and now I think I can see why. These are great tutorials. So much to watch and learn. Thanks so much!
Same here. Every landing I've done so far with this plane has been totally manual. It will be nice to have some automation.
I would consider myself a reasonably proficient A320 sim pilot, but every time I watch your videos I learn something new - thanks for all of the time and effort you put in!
Finally! After countless takeoffs, I can finally perform also some landings (now, when I know how to do that). Well, just joking, but still - thank you very much!
Like many of us, have you been flying around waiting for this so you can land? My passengers are getting pretty feral now after 3 or 4 days.
Something my ground school teacher told us about PAPIs is, “4 white, you’re high, 4 red, you’re dead”. I never needed that to remember as PAPI lights are pretty self explanatory but I always found it as a funny saying he taught us.
Thank you so much for all these invaluable tutorials. Your style of presentation, voice modulation, SIM pauses when necessary to explain in full detail, real world examples etc. are truly unbeatable in the method of teaching. I have gained so much from them all. God bless you.
Such a great aircraft Fenix made. Having the best time in over 10 years of my simming history flying the Fenix A320.
Thank you so much for these videos - I've been an Airbus sim pilot on X-Plane for years using the Toliss A319/A321 and Flight Factor A320 and A350, and even I have learned lots of new things watching your videos!
I have watched this one video over and over for each phase of the flight.
I have learned so much and have been able to fly much better flights now
because of this great video. The biggest failures I had were with landing.
I was always doing it wrong. That made the landing instructions in your
video my most watched.
My landings have improved greatly now. No more 160 landing speeds and bouncing
down the runway.
Thank you very much.
The guidance in your videos are 2nd to none! Very transparent as always!
55:24 I fell into this trap and you've now saved my landings! Thanks so much! 🙌
I have only recently started my MSFS journey and I have found your videos so helpful and great! Thank you for taking the time in doing these.
Thanks I have been flying the FBW A320 since it was available your tutorials have been very helpful. I got the FENIX yesterday and have learnt a few more things about the Airbus.
Love your tutorials since this great release. I had waited for this instead of the FBW primarily due to my love of study levels. This is not disappointing AT ALL. Your tutorials are very welcomed by me and the difficulties not an issue as I want what real pilots learn. The MCDU is awesome, even though I have still to flying as I am watching all tutorials as if in flight school to ensure a great result.
Thank you for your valuable advice as always. The serious fun begins with this complete FMGC!
Wow - I'm very new to MSFS but been a keen follower of this plane and it's reviews/videos since its' release. This collections of video's you have put together have blown my mind. Not quite sure where to start.... blooming awesome and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Brilliant stuff. Everyone should watch these, even passengers just for an insight of what is going on up the front!!
Excellent tutorial! Thank you very much, the experience of a real world pilot is the best way to learn to manage this plane in the simulator, without any doubt.
Hi, Thank you for your videos. I just started training on a A320 FNPT sim for the fun of it. I'm a rusty PPL but you should never ever stop learning new things. It took me hard work to go through the systems and SOP manuals but it was great. Your videos helped me with the one pagers I created for the different flight phases, I know your disclaimer, and I'm sticking to it. If your flying takes you to LEBL I'd love to buy you a beer one day. Best of good luck to you.
Thanks so much for this series! I've learned so much! It's a great feeling buttering your first ILS landing!
Exactly what I wanted to ask you to do !!! I mean I knew it that it will eventually come, but not that fast. Thank you again for your videos. They've helped me a lot to fly the Fenix. I have al most 300h~ with FBW but on Fenix there are other gimmicks and things that I have to learn. Thank you again for these tutorials!
Amazing tutorial, incredibly comprehensive and well explained. Very useful for my learning. Thanks a lot!!
Appreciate your effort in doing this. Was actually watching/listening to this while on my approach to Heathrow. One thing I will def take note and try next time is to “flare then idle” as I’ve been doing the other way around since learning the FBW A32NX. No wonder my landings are always hard 😅 also, I’ve always disengaged autothrust as soon as I disengage AP.
Thankyou superb as usual! I now have my own private manual on how to fly the Airbus based on your videos. The FMGC being so realistic makes it easier rather than flying with one where the modelling has many imperfections!
This was by far the most instructive video I have seen about the whole procedures. Much appreciated.
Just found this tutorial series after buying the plane on Monday during the flash sale. Great set of instructions - your cadence and the way you explain things is excellent. Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing those landing-techniques. To first flare at ~ 30 ft and then idle the thrust levers as well as looking at the end of the runway before landing literally made the difference between 500 ft / min. impacts and smooth 150 ft/min landings in the Fenix A320 for me.
Many sleep-deprived captains circling for the last days thank you sincerely for the landing advice. 😉- Thank you! 💙
Brilliant teacher 100% i love watching your videos. You explain things properly even beginners understand you as a rule I only watch your videos especially because your a real pilot who better to learn from. All your video alerts are always on. More videos the better thanks for spending your spare time teaching others its defo much appreciated
Very helpful, I think I've watched this video 3 or 4 times as I keep coming back to it for reference. Thanks very much for taking the time to share this information with us, very much appreciated. All I have to do is land the bloody thing well now , I'm working on it 🙂
Thank you for showing how to sequence your fixes for getting vectors onto the ILS. That was the main thing I was wondering about with the Airbus, and it seems a lot of tutorials skim over that part.
Side note, but this is one of the biggest gripes I have with the Aerosoft CRJ, which is you can’t sequence the box like you can in the real CRJ. Really shows the difference in quality and attention to detail of a real study-sim level aircraft.
I am simply amazed by your teaching skills and willingness to actually do it with such depth and patience... I really want to thank you... I can't believe I'm getting so much knowledge on youtube, for free!
I was looking for a tutorial just before my top of descent, and luckily you uploaded just in time !
Indeed, a big thanks for explaining navigating the A320 the way you do, highly appreciated!
Good timing, just finished the cruise tutorial
Another breathtaking fantastic explanation of how to fly the Fenix A320, thank you so much. Mesmerized for the whole hour :-) Fantastic!
What more can be said, that has already not been said in the comments. Your professionalism reflects in the presentation of your tutorial videos. Thank you so much. I truly appreciate your efforts, and look forward to further additions...Well Done..
Fantastic video!! Landing sequence was particularly helpful. I have serious problems with the flare. Will have to keep trying. Thanks for sharing this!!
Such a great tutorials! Thank you for all information about A320 piloting and managing! It’s a pleasure to flying now! 😊
A beginners video maybe... I've been simming for more years then I care to remember and STILL have learned some crackin stuff I didn't know or realise from these new videos. I use the Toliss in XP but the information / teaching is universal. Once again, thank you Captain... every day is learning day 👌
Great help, especially with a hold and when to idle/flair etc for me. Time to practice more, but atm im low fps which makes manual landing a little harder to fligh sm(on the FBW version still atm) fair for you. So getting used to it more and more practice needed. Top stuff again - so grateful for these and wish I was able to visit flight decks like in the old days.
My flying only got to a PPL but still happy memories of that and trips in jump seats etc.
Wow ! You taught me so many things I kept having trouble on ! Thanks so much ! And that landing was BUTTER ! 🙌🏽
You are gifted. Thanks very much for sharing your knowledge upon us all 🔥🙏
Excellent content. You've helped me learn so much about the a320. Thanks:)
Best tutorial I have seen in my life, thanks so much!!!!
Great tutorial, and let's pause a moment to acknowledge how beautiful FS2020 looks!
Absolutely first rate, thank you.
Amazing video. Thank you so much captain for sharing your knowledge !!!
All of these FENIX A320 tutorials are brilliant, many thanks! Cheers mate, John
You’re very welcome John, thank you!
A very good tutorial, tried following it religiously, a couple of hiccups and it got me on the ground, my descent was a bit steep, but practice will do it. But, I have found that recently when on ATC, they sometimes give instructions a bit late, but if they are busy, they are doing what they can.
This was insanely helpful. Thank you!
I'm just starting out on the Fenix A-320 and you have become my "go-to" to find out what I'm doing wrong, haha.. cracking video I have even booked marked them so I can find the answers quicker (like when I'm setting up for a ILS landing) enjoy all your videos and looking forward to the next one.
Well, thank you so much. Brilliant work mate.
Again, quite superb and detailed . Such a steep learning curve flying the Fenix after FBW ; I can take off but when landing during a turn the AP always seems to disconnect just after pressing LOC and am quickly losing height ; I'm sure this video will point me in the right direction !
Big thank you from CYUL. I land A320 on sim since first FSLABS on FSX but with your video I understood several things that I didn't know. Great addon! Great Teacher Pilot!!
Waiting for tutorial for tiller and good taxiing. Regards
Thanks for the video. I'm a Boeing guy, I have being flying PMDG since FSX, I clocked some flight time with the fslabs A320 but not getting familiar with the A320 thanks to your videos. After the basics I want to get more indeedpt with the systems. Cheers.
Your vids have helped me out no end the fenix is a beast to get my head around but getting there slowly
I want to say thank you for these tutorial videos. You are an excellent teacher in this series. I'll just start by saying I am not a real world pilot (yet!), merely just a aviation and flight sim enthusiast who has recently started flying airliners about a month ago. I started with the pmdg 737 and after getting the hang of that I decided I wanted to give the airbus a try and picked up the Fenix. Honestly, if it weren't for your videos I would of put this aircraft back in the hanger and left it there. The amount of information needed to be input is overwhelming, at least in my personal comparison to the 737 which I may be doing wrong in that case. So again, thank you for these videos as it has made it much easier to begin practicing virtual flights!
Thanks for making these, exceptional!
Excellent tutorials! A big thanks!
Great great video sir, this is helping me with my landings in FBW A320
Fantastic video - so much information! I need to review this multiple times! :)
thanks very much for a very informative video. It answered a lot of my questions, especially about the difference between baro and radio. At the moment I don't have Fenix, but use the FBW. Presumably all that you said here applies there as well. Will be getting the Fenix though, as it seems to be on a different level. thanks again.
Very good - love these tutorials! And as usual, an excellent landing!
Thank you so much for this great video series. I’ve learnt so much!
Just brilliant, as always. Thank you.
The FlyPad that comes with the Fenix Airbus is absolute superior (with so many new features like landing distance calculator) - just like the rest of this most awesome and sophisticated study-level airliner ever created.
wonderful. Thanks 360.
Thanks for all the videos. I have learned so much from your videos. Hope there are many more to come. ❤️
Indeed more to come! Thanks Dennis!
I learned lots from this one - thanks so much!
Priceless advices and videos !
i loooove these so much. Its when all the million little Tipps and tricks come together and make you go: ooh now thats helpful and extra info are always just fantastic. Greetings from EDDH o/
fantastic video, would love to see one on how you deal with a strong crosswind on approach and landing
Thank you for your excellent explanations and presentations. I really appreciate the preparation effort and time you have put in to make these impressive videos 🙏
Thanks Paul, very kind of you!
insanely good video. You make a great instructor! 👍🏻
This video has helped me so much. thank you!
Your way of explaining this all is excellent. Almost as if you were a real pilot.
wow, that was exceptional tutoring, a little overwhelming I dare say for a beginner, so much to take in. Would love to see all these steps put into a pdf document. I purchased Fenix a week ago and I have been sitting at the ramp in the Toulouse Airbus factory cold n dark the whole time afraid to touch anything. Your videos are helping and am eagerly following. Thanks for your time and effort.
if you have time and patience you can do a .txt with all the steps you need. while i was hearing the tutorial i was taking note to used them later :)
Excellent tutorial series! We may have spoken at some point in the past, I'm ATC at EGPH, not sure if you fly in there or not. Either way, looking forward to more vids, keep up the good work!
Would be interested in a video on how to set up the MCDU for circuit training and how to manage it in flight.
I love watching you videos. Keep it up :)
Thank you for your videos! As always amazing work
You are very welcome!
I had to come back and watch these videos again after flying GA and Garmin stuff for a while. Thanks so much for sharing! You really should get paid for all this info 😜 Honestly, I could see your company actually using these as learning aids.
I'd like to see a tutorial of Vatsim. More like what to expect ATC to tell you in certain scenarios. There's a lot of tutorials of basic communications but "what if" happens, what to expect and how to use MDCU to set all needed things with ATC.
That was the best landing with the A320 I've seen
This is simply the best tutorial I have found. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Top Notch Tutorial Sir, Thank you.
I just found your channel and I'm learning so much! thanks a lot!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent tutorial. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Magnificent content!
Thank you!
Brilliant many thanks has been a huge help 👍
Fantastic!
Thank you for continuing to do these instructional videos. Will you be doing an RNAV approach tutorial at some point?
I've started flying simulators with my 5 yr old twins and they declared they graduated PPL and are now ready for ATP - with your help I may be too
Thank you for your work! The author is one of the best on Airbus A320!
Thanks a lot!
Butter
Now I realize I do not know anything :) Thanks a lot but so much info you giving us. It's really hard to keep and mind them. We should definitely write them down.
Could you do a detailed VATSIM/ATC beginner lesson? There's so much to say and focus on at each stage but using ATC really elevates the experience!
Thank you! Now to watch it again with pen and paper ready…
