Honestly one of the best tutorials ever. Whenever I watched flight simmers fly any a320 I thought it was complex and confusing to fly. Turns out it ain't. Keep it up, my dude!

@andrewshakespeare4633 5 жыл бұрын

Some learn by reading; others by watching. I'm definitely a "watch" kind of learner. But so many FSX videos overly complicate everything, swamping you with information that even the producer probably doesn't expect you to remember. And often, they're narrated in an excruciatingly tedious tone that first turns you right off, and, if you persist, just sends you to sleep. But this series of videos really explains things in detail, but clearly and concisely, and with a voice that holds the viewer's attention. I've had a number of questions that these videos have answered; so much kudos for that. I'm sure plenty of other videos have done the same thing. The difference is that I couldn't endure those videos long enough to figure out the answer. So thank you, Doofer, for producing useful, informative videos that answer questions efficiently, without confusing or boring the pants off your viewers. Basically, they do what it says on the tin.

@Doofer911 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the very kind words Andrew. I took a lot of time, care and attention to write and design the videos in a way that would suit learners of all types (visual, auditory, kinesthetic etc) so for that to be recognised means a huge amount to me. One of my main focuses was to try and pre-empt any questions that viewers may have.

Well Doofer, what can I say that hasn´t been said many times already, but I am going to say it anyway. I have been tempted for a long time to buy Aerosoft´s A321 but have been put off by the seeming complexity of setting it up. That was until I stumbled on your series of videos. So, yesterday I downloaded it and have completed 2 successful managed flights today, all thanks to YOU. I am 73 but you made it easy for me. Thank you so much.............Roger

Hey mate, I’ve followed every single video you posted and flew the same route, almost identically, but at one point at cruise, the nose began to go up and down and I gained about 1800ft in altitude, but then I realized that the 35000ft inputted didn’t have the little circle, so I did it again and everything went fine, I DID TURN THE SEAT BELT sign on Incase anyone felt unwell 😂 Really good tutorials, I’ll fly the reverse leg tomorrow to see how well I coped with the info, will vary the STAR into LTN though for variety

When you talked about the "Init page" as a reminder you should add it's desirable to enter the ALTN airport, especially if you are flying in bad weather, or if you are unable to see the RWY on landing. Another note for passengers, fuel and flaps calculation. For this you can use the Aerosoft Airbus X fuel planner (Start menu-aerosoft-Airbus A320-321)

Ive just decided to give the aerosoft version a go after using Project Airbus for many years. I read (or at least started to read) the manual, then I found this video...thanks so much, absolutely crystal clear. I note you dont use the built-in atc, so would be interested if you have done a video on last minute changes in runway/approach at destination
