Programming Fenix MCDU made easy.

Featured Replies

As some may recall, when I got the A 320 over a week ago, the first day drove me crazy.  I was sort of used to the FMC on the 737 from years ago, and I couldn't get my head around the MCDU on the A 320, for about 2 days. I finally figured it out, and now it is a piece of cake. Everything else on the A 320, was fairly easy. 

I watched this video a few days ago, and i wish I had seen it before I got the A 320. Hope it will help someone else get used to the MCDU>

Bob- Now that you have figured out the issues with the MCDU were self created, perhaps examine your Subject Line?  It's a bit negative and Fenix has produced something that deserves better.

If your intent was just to grab attention for your post, perhaps you still can, in a more positive vein?

Thanks for considering.

Any suggestions?

 

 

 

 

So your biggest problem with the Fenix is actually that it's not a Boeing?

That is the biggest asset for the Fenix....😉

 

 

 

How about my biggest lesson from the Fenix or my biggest challenge from the Fenix

Once airbusized... never boeingized...

I did buy the PMDG 737 but my goto airliners are the fbw a32n and the toliss a319... It's so much more intuitive & easy the Airbus way that I strongly believe the systems design / concept must have been German driven...

"Here's what helped me understand the Airbus MCDU"

ALL our FS Developers work so hard for us, and we reap SO MUCH enjoyment and education from their output. I really would like to reduce the amount of vitriol here on AvSim...

I think it was Thomson-CSF (French company, now Thales), much stems from the A300 FFCC I believe, and then further back to traditions established with the likes of Concorde. The overhead panel in particular strikes me a shining example of logical ergonomics when compared to the 1960s mess of a 737 that doesn't even have a centralised warning system!

Flew the 737 for years, and never liked the overhead panel. 

 

 

 

I enjoy the differences between the Boeing and Airbus implementations. They seem to have the same capabilities more-or-less, so once you know what one of them can do, there’s a good chance the other will do it too, if you can find the right page 🙂 

 

I don’t think either is really more “intuitive” than the other: they both presuppose a good deal of knowledge and the rest is basically memory/practice.
