Hi Guys

Here I am sitting in the cockpit of the Airbus A320/A321 professional for P3D V4.5 and I must admit as a GA/ Turboprop flyer I am feeling quite overwhelmed. Programing an MCDU is something I have never done before. I know this aircraft does have interactive checklists (one of the reasons why I went for the Airbus rather than a Boeing)

Can anyone recommend a really good tutorial videos for a complete beginner like myself for setting up/ flying and landing this lovely aircraft for a simple flight.  I have had a look on Youtube but most of the videos just rush through things without really explaining them and i find myself getting lost and a bit disheatened.

Cheers 

Daz

Hi Daz,

From the FSLabs thread a few down...  Not my information so wanted to quote the OP as it was their suggestion but a very good one.

FSL support is excellent. Personal experience.

As to learning the Airbus check out the books of Mike Ray. Retired airline Captain. The book are written for flight simmers with lot of sketches and systems described in an easy to understand format. I have most of his books. They are available in electronic format as well as print. Recommended.

 

Hi Daz,

 

There a numerous tutorial videos on YouTube on how to do this, from beginner to advanced.

Have you tried the step-by-step tutorial included with the Aerosoft A320? It's labeled as Volume 6 of the included documentation. 

Thankfully, Froogle left all his videos up on YouTube even after retiring. can’t recommend him enough  he was my favorite content producer for FS.

 

His tutorials of the original airbuses will get you up in the air. just search airbus frooglesim on YouTube.

 

 

 

 

I found this pretty useful :

 

 

Also recommended this (if you don't mind forking out more $$s)

I have the Airbus Professional, and I'm not aware the aircraft itself has interactive checklists...? I believe it has a simulated First Officer

Oops - meant to post the playlist - no the first vid:

It's not the same model, but it gives a great overview of the Airbus methodology and ystems.
