Hello, so I have been a flight simmer for a long time, but really only ever learned to fly Boeing planes, starting with the LVL D 767 for FSX. For a long time now I have wanted to recreate a trip I took back in 2010 or 2011 where I flew to NYC from LA on a Virgin A320 as well as doing long hauls in the A380 or A350. I have tried watching a few videos on YT, but I have trouble retaining a lot of the info. I remember what helped with the 767 was that the plane came with a manual which had a text based guide I could print for setting up the FMC for flight and learning how to use the AP to get the plane from point A to B.

So does anyone know of a text bases guide which can be used a tutorial type flight where I can learn the basics. For now I'm not worried about learning all the startup procedures, but would just like to be able start with the plane powered on and do a flight, and then I can learn the rest later.

Thanks

I can still highly recommend it!
It's meant for the fslabs A320, but all the features, buttons, and workflows are explained really well...

It's definitely worth a look!

Check out Mike Ray's books.

Take a look at this tutorial. It explains the pertinent points and is well illustrated.

Thanks I will be sure to check it out.

I recommend you start like I did with the FBW 320? A very good bus model to learn from. Then you need to decide do you stay with free or go Fenix. That is what I ultimately decided to do. There is a few more complexities with these models.
