Fenix A320 Full Setup Guide with a Real Airbus Pilot! Beginner Friendly!

***UPDATE*** If your flight plan does not load when requesting it on the Init a page, it may have gone to the secondary flight plan. To retrieve it go to SEC F-PLN, click the blue AOC flight plan message on the right, then activate secondary.

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!

you kept saying "you're contribution has been small" but I had absolutely 0 intention to buy this and because/thanks to you it's now a must-buy. Sending you the best from France.

I’m so glad to experience this with you all, what a time to be alive!

I hope Fenix sees this comment...because once again I'm purchasing a sim add-on because of your videos, one I didn't expect I would want since FBW has and continues to do such a great job on the A32n. Another amazing video with an amazing product. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 320SimPilot!

I am a retired PPL & College Lecturer and I think your tutorials are brilliant and your teaching fantastic. Thank you very much. By the way I have bought the Fenix and trying to resolve some joystick calibration issues.

As a boeing only guy.. I learned a lot about the airbus and its differences in this 1 video. I plan on investing in the 320 soon so I will follow your channel. I decided it's finally time to broaden my horizons and learn the airbus since they fly so many routes throughout the world. Thanks from the usa!

[Cbryer]

This is the 1st Fenix Tutorial that got me from C&D to the runway with zero issues! Thank you!

[ralphconnell]

I've just purchased the Airbus Captains Pack and I'm about to buy the Fenix. Thought I'd watch a vid to gain an understanding as to what to expect. I'm so glad I did. This was informative, relaxed and very clear. You've demystified this aircraft. Within a week I'll be flying. Can't' wait. Thanks again.

[multiversos]

Simply the best! The definitive cold and dark startup procedure imho. Thanks, Capt.

If you hadn't said you were a pilot in real life, I would have been able to tell you were one anyway. The small insights you gave about certain aspects of the aircraft like the importance of not turning on the wipers dry because they could damage the expensive windows made such a difference and really reinforces everything you say. I really really enjoyed watching this video.

[edwardtran]

Wow. I have flown A320 for 22 years. This sim is so realistic

[allanfarrow]

This video is just gold. I picked up the Fenix yesterday after a few hours on the A3NX and I'm loving the fidelity of the Fenix.

[HenriTroberg]

Just a minor thing I spotted: Takeoff performance calculation was done with PACKS off selected and during the takeoff PACKS were on. Great and very helpful video.

[scottishrebels]

Outstanding! I've been a long time PMDG 737 pilot and was waiting for the block 2 update to make the leap over to the A320. Your videos are absolutely first class and are making the transition very straight forward indeed. Thanks for all your efforts and for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

[camilandtati]

I’m truly exhausted just watching you do your magic. It all seems so second nature for you. Thank you so much for this detailed yet easy to follow tutorial. And although you do say this is for Sim purposes only, I felt that it was at the level of actual real pilot training standards. Blown away. And subscribed.

[elturkocharro]

Being a sim for many years but having a short time to enjoy my passion always leaves me with doubts about whether I'm following all the steps for taking off and landing. Your videos are my always-check guidance to ensure I'm not missing anything! Thanks a lot!

[JKPilot]

Fantastic video! I just took the plunge and bought this aircraft, and this video has helped immensely. Thank you.

[GG_Booboo]

Wow, you are such an amazing pilot/instructor. You made this so easy to understand for a simmer! One of the best tutorials on here!
Can't wait to check on the rest of the series and the B787 tutorials

[baomao]

I bought the FENIX A320 based on the ubiquitous comments on its high fidelity.
Being a garden-variety GA pilot, my flight sim goal is ATP-level sim fidelity, so as ii see you walk through all the flight parameters, esp setting up the MCDU to fully use the Airbus flight computers, all i can say is wow.
Your ATP perspective, expertise on this type, and pleasant delivery are all greatly appreciated. Thank you making this video. I owe you a dinner if you make it to KSEA.👍

[JohnnoRoskam]

Absolutely phenomenal! New to Airbus, I'll be following this quite often!

[PacTheOne]

I find it super satisfying to watch something like this tutorial and know most of it but getting little tricks here and there. Like I totally didn't knew you could press AIRPORT in the Flightplan to jump down instead of using arrows. What a time safer and nerves lol Edit: Knowing most of it from your past videos i might add :D
