The Most Realistic Desktop A320 Flown By A Real A320 Pilot

Quote from a real A320 pilot:

"First time leaving MSFS: X-Plane 12 + the ToLiss A320neo impressed me with flight dynamics, rudder feel, and night lighting. I’m a real-world Airbus A320 pilot and Type Rating Instructor, and in this video I share my first impressions then I fly an approach so you can judge the handling for yourself."

That's what I found great this morning on that new airbus coaching channel, link on another thread!

Flying gliders since 1980

Flightsimming since 1992

AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)

Great video and interesting.

Really explains the experience of what makes X plane so attractive, so well and has a lot of folk in the comment section convice.

Absolutely correct. One sim excels in its outstanding programming skills, understanding of aerodynamics, wind, pressure, temperature, and friction under world conditions. Another SIM is not so good. One sim excels in certain visual areas, while the other does not. Regarding aircraft dynamics, the winner is the developers' ability to have a strong programmer and to listen to real pilots' input. 

747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.

2024 is like a pretty girl winking at me in the corner of the caffe, calling me to join her, while XP12 is like a wife that is rough on edges visually (scenery), but knows exactly what she's doing in any moment, and she's doing it reliably. Woman that you can rely on.

Current system: ASUS PRIME Z690-P D4, Intel 12900k, 32GB RAM @ 3600mhz, Zotac RTX 3090 Trinity, M2 SSD, Oculus Quest 2.

I'm being told to sign in to prove I am not a bot. Got no idea where to do this and sign into what.

Also, where does one find this new airbus channel?

Thanks for any guidance.

Long ago on a post I believe here at AVSIM I wrote exactly the same :-)

LOL as of now I go back and forth between two wives, P3DV5 and XP12. I enjoy the latter but can't give up the former. The pretty girl in the corner you can have.

With Linux now going as my only desktop OS, the pretty girl will have to find another admirer 🙂

I will fight to make Condorsoaring behave the best it can under Linux, maybe DCS World too... but those are minor "annoyances" 🙂

This video does not tell me anything new about X-Plane, I don't need confirmation bias.

It does however tell me a lot about that youtube channel, has he been living under a rock until today?

I think you are living under a rock. If he is really a real A320 pilot, how much time you think he has to test few airbus addons in 3 sims? How many variables are in the game in that scenario? Think about it.
