December 14, 20241 yr I have extensive experience with the PMDG 737 (13 years) but I have decided to try Fenix A320. The aircraft looks nice and handles just as good as the PMDG. However, I am having a hard time programming my flight plans on the computer management computer. I am having issues getting rid of the “discontinuity” legs. I am also having issues with Simbrief populating into the FMC. All to say, is there a good tutorial video that is not an hour long? I would like to watch something brief and to the point.
December 14, 20241 yr I know you want something brief and to the point, but I really recommend you invest an hour of your time into this. He is a real world pilot and is very good with tutorials. You can always skip around in the video, but if you watch it all the way through, you will know everything you need to know to fly the 320 9800X3d, 4090, 64 GB DDR5 6000 RAM, 4 TB NVME (2x2), 4K Ultra + Framegen

December 14, 20241 yr You won’t regret it. 320SimPilot is really good.. started watching his stuff years ago and always enjoy them and learnt a lot as well. 9800X3d, 4090, 64 GB DDR5 6000 RAM, 4 TB NVME (2x2), 4K Ultra + Framegen

December 14, 20241 yr A330 driver is a real Airbus Pilot. I think he is the best of all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdk4Zo-UNN4&list=PLtFw-RsDhI84o5cEyNvnehjf_MNIIMNoS Pete Richards I've owned every version of flight simulator since Flight Simulator 3.0 in 1988.

December 14, 20241 yr Author While I appreciate the video, I don't have the time to find and enter so much information. In the video, the pilot gets into the weeds of configuration. Is it possible to fly Fenix A320 without spending 20-25 minutes entering so much data in the FMC? Don't care about wind, weight factors etc. I need a departure and arrival point, routes and ILS selection, and the ability to delete discontinuity. If I have to load so much stuff, I wont use Fenix. In the PMDG, I am done in 5 minutes. In this video, the workload is daunting.

There are way better flight sim YouTubers out there.
December 14, 20241 yr Moderator Try this one, it's got time stamps for sections you might find beneficial. It's a bit more of a quick and dirty, rather than an airliner procedural video. Regarding discontinuities, in the Airbus, simply press the CLR button on the bottom RIGHT of the MCDU (Boeing FMC equivalent), followed by clicking the line select key next to the discontinuity in your flight plan. .

December 14, 20241 yr Author Very helpful!!! Sorry, I don't mean to disrespect the real simmers here but I prefer to spend as little time a possible on the flight management computer and more time flying. I just want to go!! Edited December 14, 20241 yr by Huascar
December 14, 20241 yr If you just want to go, you can really just ignore the FMC and just gun it. I mean, it does fly just fine if you want to kinda have fun with it. I've done that a bunch of times and it's always fun to treat it like a cessna. 9800X3d, 4090, 64 GB DDR5 6000 RAM, 4 TB NVME (2x2), 4K Ultra + Framegen
December 14, 20241 yr Turn off crash and stress damage though. 9800X3d, 4090, 64 GB DDR5 6000 RAM, 4 TB NVME (2x2), 4K Ultra + Framegen
December 14, 20241 yr Does the Fenix A320 not have a "step by step" flight tutorial like the PMDG 737? In my opinion, that is always the best way to learn a new aircraft.

I just want to go!! my experience is that (once you're used to the Airbus MCU), you're quicker of the chocks with the 320 than the 737. Probably the APU start and needing to switch the bleeds that makes the difference.
