An updated video looking at the start-up procedure for the Boeing 747-8i in Microsoft Flight Simulator, starting the aircraft up from cold and dark, and taking it for a circuit of Stansted airport to try out approach mode.
The procedure I followed (still a work in progress) is available to download from the following link:

The wheelbrakes have been made less effective in both the 747-8i and the 787-10. The reason, according to Working Title, is that they are more realistic this way, closer to reality as these heavy Boeings truly can't slow down that quickly with wheelbrakes. I like their new inertia.

I’m struggling to slow the 747 down from low speeds to make turnoffs with max braking. These things have phenomenal brakes, after all they have to be able to stop from high speeds at MTOW if something goes wrong. I suspect they’ve gone too far in the other direction. 🥴

Auto brakes will come on when they can - typically (and it varies by aircraft) you use reversers until a given speed, then just wheel brakes - to avoid rubbish being sucked into the engines.

⁠​⁠@@jonbeckettYou don’t know that much about this type of aircraft or their operation, so if I were you I would say I don’t know rather than make something up! Auto brakes don’t come on “when they can”, if set they come on immediately after landing. Reverse is a distant second in importance unless it’s slippery. This applies to Boeings!
@Gilles45
@Gilles45 Жыл бұрын
I must agree with Stephen on this one. Autobrakes are absolutely not automatic, they don't come on "when they can". They are set to the maximum setting for takeoff in case of an abort and are set to Low, Medium or High for landing, depending on the braking action required. On the A380, the autobrakes have a BTV setting, meaning Brake to Vacate. You choose the exit you want to vacate the runway at and the plane will adjust the braking action to be at turnoff speed at that exit. Bottom line, autobrakes are always used on airliners that have them.
@Gilles45
@Gilles45 Жыл бұрын
Look at the autobrake control situated just under the gear lever. The RTO setting (rejected take off) is always selected before takeoff, always. And apart from off and disarm, the 747 has multiple autobrake settings that are chosen and set by the pilots. They don't come on when they want or when they can. Sorry Jonathan, but you have this one completely wrong.

A wonderful video apparently more for people “simming”on PC.I am on the Xbox and was doing alright with Auto Pilot and ILS approach.Lately that has gone haywire in the sense that after take off when I put the aircraft to Auto Pilot, instead of turning to the required heading it continues on runway heading. Though manual heading change takes it towards intended destination the aircraft does not intercept the localiser or the guide slope in a manner that it automatically brings it down to runway threshold.The LOC and APRCH buttons do not seem to have any effect.Do you think it could be due update in so far as Xbox users are concerned.

Altitude set in the mcp in the climb might be overridden by an altitude restriction in the fmc when you’re in vnav.

But when I pressed A on the Xbox controller (connected to PC, Steam edition), the throttle won't budge. Then, I selected the throttle manually and tried pushing it forward, but it still didn't work.

Try starting the sim up with an empty community folder and go from there. Hope that helps.

That is strange. Did you have a route programmed in? INS/IRS system on and aligned ? Flight directors on?

No idea!? Sounds like a bug. With the 747 being updated recently, it might be worth making sure you have no other 747 mods in place.

I am trying to do this in an Xbox S series but I just can't. The avionics turn off and when they back again they do not have data. Even worse, sometimes the game just quits... any ideas on what could it be? maybe the xbox can not handle too much Ram or I don't know :S HELP PLEASE!

Can anyone help with throttle issue? Lvr always on and no idle or clb or to-ga available. Engine power is always on 20% Tried auto mixture but didn't work 20% power always on all the planes. But sometimes no idle no climb or to-ga. Anyone ?

Jonathan, do you know why the AP system is architected into two distinct parts, FD and AP ? So you can easily disconnect the two to fly manually? Redundancy?

No idea - it's probably just an enginnering thing - one system thinks - the other system acts.

You can fly manually by following the Flight Director yourself, in IMC for example. If the autopilot and FD were built into one then you wouldn't be able to do that.

There is absolutely no reason to ever turn off the flight director. You can fly an airliner manually on an IFR flight plan, but you need to have your eyes glued to the flight director in order to keep the plane on the flight path. Watch cockpit videos of real airline pilots flying an ILS manually, their eyes are glued to the PFD until the very last minute when they transition to the runway. The flight director is not part of the autopilot system.

@jonbeckett Жыл бұрын
As somebody else commented - the most obvious reason is the pilot can follow the flight director's instructions manually instead of having the autopilot do it (for whatever reason - there may be many).

Idk if it is something I am doing wrong but I feel like they ruined this plane. No matter what I do or how I have the plane configured the controls completely stop working at 50 ft at any speed or flaps setting. And it also wont stop. I can even have the plane totally empty and this still happens. BTW I have the PMDG 737 and can fly it all day no problem but not this plane. Full braking with an empty plane and it still does not want to stop or land.
