The FlyByWire A320 mod is absolutely fantastic. It’s opened up an entire new level of depth to the sim, and the integration with SimBrief/Navigraph charts is a QoL dream. I can get a flight plan generated, loaded to MCDU, filled with pax/cargo and ready for takeoff in just a few minutes now. Been doing lots of ~1.5h hops around Europe to get a bunch of experience with setup and takeoff/landing. I’ve done a few flights in the ATR as well, but I mcuh prefer the EFB and sound effects of the FBW A320.
I’m thinking 787 next, as I haven’t learned any Boeings yet and I have the premium deluxe edition.
I just took my first full IFR flight successfully yesterday with VATSIM ATC all the way yesterday and it was just amazing, with the FBW 320. The flyPad integration with VATSIM was so freaking convenient and I haven’t even plumbed all the depths of the pad yet.
Question for you, when you load PAX, how do you do that? I get a jetway connected but how do you get people to board or is that just a faux element?
Click the cloud download icon on the payload page and it will pull the pax/cargo from Simbrief, or type in whatever you want. Then pick instant, fast, or real-time load speed and load up your pax/cargo.
I dunno, it blows my mind. Easily one of my favorite game mods of all time - right up there with Counter Strike and Desert Combat. The amount of work put into it is insane. It’s my favorite thing to fly currently, can’t wait for the 380 to drop.
Have you tried remote MCDU via SimBridge? I run that on an iPad and do all my MCDU programming on that, its so nice.

Yeah, I just discovered all the extra features on the pad. It’s so freaking awesome. How the hell is this free?
