FlyByWire Simulations | A32NX | Beginner Guide

[Watsi 2,570]

Hi there,

We are happy to announce our in-depth A32NX beginner guide!

We’ve included detailed information through different stages of flight so that you can begin your journey from a cold and dark state all the way to your destination gate. Each page was reviewed by one of our own A320 pilots to ensure that everything you learn / review is accurate!

Excellent!  Great job by the FBW team! Keep up the good work!

There's a little misunderstanding with regard to the use of a dead zone in the joystick X and Y axis settings for the development version. One says a dead zone no longer is necessary where others say it still is. Can you please shed some light on this? Thank you very much. And thanks for providing this guide.

It depends a bit on your hardware. Some kind of a deadzone is always a good idea.
Regarding MSFS deadzone settings: it depends on the accuracy of your controllers and if they produce "signal noise".
Regarding A32NX EFB throttle setting deadzone: the more deadzone you set, the more range you have for each detent. But be careful that detents/deadzones don't overlap each other.

The other question is the sensitivity setting (MSFS) of Y and X axis. Since we implemented our own custom AP and FBW, it is recommended to set sensitivity to zero / neutral. However some Joysticks are too sensitive then (again, depends on the hardware). For example I lowered the sensitivity settings on my Joystick as well, cause my stick is way to sensitive on 0 setting.

Simply AMAZING this Tutorial !

Thank you so much "Watsi" / FBW !!!!

This kind of stuff is one of the best incentives and reasons to believe in the future of MFS. The base platform is promising of course by itself, it has lots of potential and was the best happening in the flight simulation world in the whole last year, but it would be / taste completely different if it wasn't for initiatives lke FBW's A320 offer, as a Freeware !!! 

Of course I am looking fwd for the payware A380 which will probably become the first detailled A380 available for MFS !!!

Keep the EXCELLENT WORK !!!

The A380 will of course be freeware too.

Guide looks great. Is the guide available as a PDF?

Which was my first question as well.

Kind regards, Michael

Thanks, @Watsi

On a side note knowing this is not the support hub: is it a known issue that when importing a simbrief flightplan it loads ok and on the Perf/W+B page the payload loads (the asterix blinks) but the fuel does not load, the asterix does not blink, let me run out of fuel recently over the carribean...

I'm a bad adviser regarding SimBrief, since I don't use it (using LittleNavMap). Maybe ask this on our discord. Someone should be able to help.
