It's not a massive issue at all, but rather I don't really think the FMC's data being out of date's an issue to do with not having a navigraph subscription (it could be maybe since not got the link software running right now, but I have a navigraph subscription and the FMC says its out of date lol. Btw love your videos, you take things back to their basics which I really enjoy!

Small tip, unless your first waypoint from take off is within 5 degrees of the runway, LNAV will not be available on the ground. Some pilots will insert a custom waypoint in line with the departure runway so they can engage it and let it manage lateral control sooner during climb outs. Can always head direct to the next original waypoint as planned via the FMC legs anytime. Great tutorial :)

I dont have MSF, but have gone through FSX and now P3Dv4.5 . Judging by the amount of videos out now, on the PMDG 737 -800, It looks like an awful lot of people are just starting up in Flight sim. There have been hundreds of videos and discussions, on the PMDG 737-800 from start-up to shut down and all its iterations for years. So I find it slightly amusing, that a lot of people have missed out the fun and learning part of this aircraft. Have fun !

Hey, awesome tutorial there! 😁 There are a few things you forgot to mention though: 1. You didn't mention that you have to turn on the strobe lights before starting to taxi. 2. Another thing is the auto brake setting which has to be put to "RTO" before take-off which you left on the "OFF" setting. 3. The landing lights have to be turned on when you enter the runway and need to be switched off once you passed 10000 feet. 4. Following that, the baro setting needs to be set to "STD" once you passed the aforementioned 10000 feet. 5. You said it in the video but just to add it, the TCAS needs to be switched to "TA/RA" before take-off. You surely know all of these points but I thought I'd mention these here for next time. Other than that, really well made and easy to understand tutorial. 🙂

This was a purposely shortened procedure that doesn't include everything a real crew would do - I state that several times. You're actually wrong about a couple of things. Strobes don't go on until you're on the runway in the real world. The last thing aircraft taxiing or ground crew need is to be blinded. Barometric pressure is set to STD as you pass through the transition level - not 10,000ft. The transition level varies all over the world.

Thanks for the run through. Just wanted to mention it is recommended to use LVL CHG for climbs to prevent the risk of slowing too much which can happen with a climb in v speed. V speed is better for descents where you care more about not descending too quickly for passenger comfort and to arrive well timed at altitudes along the waypoints down.

@@jonbeckett Well there is everything to talk about in that particular information u gave to use V/S while climbing. Its just not about automated modes. While u were explaining u had no clue why the aircraft would not go to your set speed of 220 while climbing at a V/S of +2500. "probably something wrong with my throttle". Well mate if u are gonna give out wrong information like that and not correct it when someone points it out then that says a lot. People are gonna follow this and start putting in high V/S for climb with low speeds and the speed keeps bleeding off to a point where the aircraft stalls and just falls off head down to the ground and they'll be left nothing but a lot of questions again. I was hoping someone pointed this out in the comments and there u were with a smart reply not even trying to analyse if whatever u said in ur video is right. Well its been 7 months since u made this video I am sure u would have known this by now.

But I had some difficulty locating the mouse icon until it moved and so sometimes missed what you did and rewound the video to see it. This is because I am not familiar with the location of various 737 panels and didn’t know where to be looking as you described the action. Maybe using a larger mouse icon with a different color might help folks like me? Thank you for posting!

Great introduction. This is my first attempt on a so called study level plane and it is really a steeper learning curve than the native airliners in MSFS. I used your checklist for the start up and also watched your other video that focus on the programming of the FMC and Little Navmap. The one thing I haven’t understood yet is how to correctly engage the autopilot. It doesn’t follow the flightpath set in the FMC and it always wants to decend, no matter what I set the altitude and vertical speed to. I click the main autopilot engage but the green light does not come on. Only the auto throttle works with the set speed. Any idea on how to trouble shoot this issue?
@jonbeckett
@jonbeckett Жыл бұрын
If the autopilot doesn't come on, it's probably because you have a discontinuity in the flight plan legs, or the flight directors are not on, or the inertial navigation system isn't aligned (but then you would have no attitude indicator), or you have a control input. You usually can't engage the autopilot unless the controls are at rest.
