How unsurprising...

IDK, I mean the age range here is all over the place... sometimes we need to be pointed in the right direction.  For instance anyone can google "Fenix Airbus Tutorials"  But when I did that I was just overwhelmed... and a few people here pointed me to some of the "best" ones out there.  I think there's a Fenix manual somewhere too (I've never actually looked at it haha!)

Always a pleasure to hear from you Ryan. I agree with you completely. I’m going to look at the YT someone, was it you who posted.

Are you experiencing a discrepancy between calculated fuel burn via Simbrief and real fuel burn in the Fenix A320 as well? I am using the official profile but had to adjust it to M8 to make it more real. 
Its a pity that you cannot rely on fuel burn calculated with the official profile which should be accurate, shouldnt it?

Depends on a lot of things - the fuel burn computed in the trip field should be close enough within around 200-300kg provided the winds are uplinked, the runways on both DEP and ARR are selected, and the procedures on either end are selected. This also means that if Simbrief has/includes step climbs, step descents, etc - that they too are programmed and inserted into the FMS to reflect. Then finally, double check the Simbrief wind uplink to ensure the winds are reflective of the reality you find yourself in - i.e the data is good - sometimes it deviates! 

All in though, the next update should also provide some enhancements to the accuracy in this area.

Really appreciate your response, thanks! Unfortunately, I have that gap in every flight and I am always making sure to use correct data in the FMS. The difference is ranging from 6 - 12%. Any finetune is highly welcomed, many thanks again!

You know, there are people who don't like learning from tutorials and prefer things to be explained to them in a more personal way. There's nothing wrong with that.

And on the other hand, there are people who like to explain, to take the time to answer others without judging them. And those are precious people.

And then there are others, like you, who don't like to help but love to criticize, bash and belittle.

That's what makes a forum so charming. ☺️

25 years ago, when I started working in my field (and have stayed in the same field, since), there was a gentleman who was my mentor, who had already worked there for 35 years, and was about to retire (I took over his position, actually).

He had two bits of advice for me, I still recall:

First, whether a colleague knows more or less than yourself, treat all with respect.

And, 2nd, develop a thick skin because you’ll find exceptions to this rule here.

Such people are precious, indeed.

Been coming up to speed on the A320, and if you are coming from GA planes like myself there’s a lot to learn. But it is incremental. I learn new things every flight and a week after starting this Airbus journey i am well along and getting better every day. Youtube helps. Checklists help. The knowledge comes from a variety os sources. You have prior Airbus experience so it should go quickly. Good luck!

Oh look, another user who can’t fathom the idea of being a part of a larger community than themselves. Instead of spreading good will, love and the joy of flying, they belittle and put down everyone else because that’s probably what happened to them their entire lives. 
 

I am truly sorry that whoever treated you the way they did in your life led you to treating others so poorly. 
 

May you be blessed with the love and attention you never had but desperately needed and wanted.

Hi guys, with the new PC I bought all three Fenix airbusses.

Any advice?

Thanks.

Advice?  When it comes to the MCP push/pull knobs….

push in means you give control to the airplane. Think, pushing something to the plane and you saying “here, you deal with this.” That said, when you push a knob in, you’ll get managed mode. 
 

pull means “I’m taking control back.” Or “pull and pray!” When you pull on a knob, it goes to open mode, like open climb/descent or open speed.

 

These are unbelievably simple ways to think about the mcp modes and operation.

Also, don’t think about the fly by wire and what it’s doing when you’re hand flying. Just fly the plane like any other and just enjoy not having to trim.

Awesome advice, thank you kind sir.

I took a different approach and got a warning lol.

My remarks were too flamboyant they stated 😂

Thanks Sylvester but no matter how many times I try Discord I could Berger it to work or understand how to use it. 😞
