What did you do in MSFS today? (Part 1)

Also managed to do a flight (EBOS to EBLG) with the Airbus A320 from Fly By Wire.

I followed along with this tutorial by Overkill Simulations: Microsoft Flight Simulator | FlybyWire A320 Full Flight | Tutorial - YouTube

My main problem was really speed management. I don’t understand yet how it works. I did not configure flex temp, so I read I should use TOGA power on take-off. I did that and accelerated to 300 kts in no time. I assumed the airbus would manage the speed to 250 by itself. I then changed the throttle to CLB and that seemed more reasonable.

On approach I had no idea what was happening, but along the way learned that both altitude and speed were managed by the systems.
I was easily able to capture LOC and GS but ended up slightly long on the runway, presumably because of something I did wrong with the speed.

Coming from “stick and rudder” flying, and a small amount of auto pilot, it’s quite the effort.

I really like the integration with simbrief and the EFB tablet. I need to read up on the throttle of the A320, but apart from that, I did succesfully complete the flight!

Pretending I know what I’m doing:

I feel I’m a little high here, but the GS diamond seems right in the middle?

We have survived, somehow!
