Chewwy at 12z

So, we were all waiting for Chewwy to return from his holiday in order to have the NDA lifted?!
That's some influence he has. Maybe he knows some dark secrets about the Fenix team! 😆

I'm excited to watch the streams later.

Now that I'm finally able to fly the FBW.. this excited me even more. I never MADE time to get into airbus on p3d.. and with the FBW in MSFS.. well, I love it now..!

Stupid question from me, I have always ever only flown Boeing's, and aircraft with Yokes. IS airbus easier?

I woulld say it's easier to understand, There are quite a few excellent tutorials from RWP that stream constantly posted below. no waffle from these guys, and in depth explanation in the operation of the A320.

It depends. To get an overall grasp of how the ATHR/Autoflight/FMGS and FBW works, it is fairly straight forward.

But when you start to dig deeper into different flight laws and protections and its degradations and what have you - it can get messy rather quickly.

You'll quickly appreciate the ECAM and it's recommended actions.

There are no stupid questions when ot coems to new things man!!

It is a bit more intuitive due to the FBW and protections for me (e.g., it holds the pitch/AoA when turning). But there is a lot under the hood with all the quircks.

[JSmith2112 317]

The FMS is somewhat different to the Boeing style but the principles are broadly the same.

You'll probably get into some "what the heck is going on now?" situations but that's part of the fun.

I think I'm gonna faint. Hopefully Chewwy doesn't spend the firs 30 minutes of the stream reading out subs and donations.
