Above the cruising altitude selected in the flight plan.
Why does my a320neo during takeoff when I reach the cruising altitude established in the flight plan, always go over 500 or 600 meters, and I have to bring it back, prompted by the control tower, to the altitude selected in the flight plan using the pitch button, is it a bag or am I making some mistake? Keep in mind that I use the A320NEO by default. I hope I have been clear enough in explaining my problem, THANK YOU for your reply.

You should go to Standard on BARO when reaching transition height. This will set the barometric height to 29.92. So press B and you get your standard Baro and your plane will fly exact FL you have chosen.

I do this, above 18,000 feet I set the barometric altitude to standard,.....then you tell me that I still have to click the B button? So the standard setting is not enough?

Oh sry, I was a bit unclear. What I meant was in case you forget to switch to STD you can press B or manually adjust to 29.92 inHG.
I never fly the Asobo A320neo only the FlyByWire A320, so I can't reproduce your problem. Was A/THR active and was Flight Level Altitude in managed mode? Check vertical trim or throttle position and did you read THR CLB in Flight Mode Annunciator?

Thanks for your availability, I will do the checks you suggested more carefully, .... to tell the truth I tend to neglect some settings in the on-board computer, also because I was unable to find a tutorial on YouTube that was completely exhaustive in describing the settings to be done in all its parts, the result is that I most likely do not complete the entire setup in the best way. Unfortunately the default model is a bit neglected, even the tutorials from three or four years ago when the simulator was just released, are very simplified tutorials that neglect many details that would certainly be very useful to know to complete the setup in the most suitable way. I come from x-plane 11 for that simulator on YouTube you could find very, very exhaustive tutorials that completely explained all the various phases in a very careful and detailed way. Can you indicate valid tutorials to set the default MCDU in the best way?

If you would let me give an advice, forget the Asobo A320. If you like, get on board with the FlyByWire A32neo. This is a much better model, it's free and still a flyable WIP. So they work hard on that. In addition there is a very detailed and interactive Pilot Briefing to all aspects of this airplane.

Get the installer here:

As you requested a tutorial for the MCDU I only can tell you about the FBW ones. See for yourself if it will help you to get more in details.

You can find more liveries for this airplane on https://de.flightsim.to/

Yes I know that the FBW A320 is definitely superior, I had already installed it once, made it much better but too complicated, too technical, papers, instruments etc, I have no intention of becoming a pilot, .... yes a minimum of technical aspect is fine but not too much, I prefer and love flight simulators, especially this one, for the graphic aspect, the idea that they convey to you of travelling, the geography that I love so much, yes everything is virtual but very engaging, the technical aspect for me must be only the indispensable, nothing more ....... and the FBW seemed a bit too complex to me, a kilometre-long checklist, flight papers, too complex instruments etc ......... certainly something much more complete but perhaps not suitable for what I wanted, so I uninstalled it. Now following your advice I will try to reinstall it, then I will tell you........ Do you have any advice to make it more simplified, first of all it is possible do it ?

Alright, It's your opinion from flying an airplane and I can cope with it. But let me say, that flying an airplane isn't that much complicated. In fact all planes must be getting started, climb and cruise and of cause be landed. You do this because you've learned of it. And no one will force you to learn all aspects of flying an airplane at once. Little by little is a good way to encrease your experience and therefore your mood. An excelent checklist exists made by JayDee. Yeah it's your decision but why not get more out of this fantastic simulator? ...And no, sry, I can't help you with a simplified method of flying the FBW A32neo. Use the Asobo A320 and hope for a fix on that. After all the graphics of the world will be the same when you change your aircraft. Be fine and have fun. Best regards.
