The learning curve for properly flying PMDG aircrafts is steep when one is used to flying Airbuses. With videos like this, it gets a bit easier each step. Thank you.

[@BritishAvgeek]

Sure is Yorran, and when you feel like you have learnt it too it's a really good feeling! 😁 Great to hear you found the video useful

[@gibbo547]

Thanks for the showcase of the livery! Jet2 Holidays will be next very soon!

[@BritishAvgeek]

Amazing, you're most welcome! Downloaded the updated pack too with the cabins - great work! 😁

[@Pointyish]

Was thinking last night BAVG needs to make a video on holds! Thanks a lot for you 737 content, got me up and flying in no time, would have still been scratching my head about RNAV in the 737 that’s for sure.

[@BritishAvgeek]

Awesome! Glad you've found them useful - another one later today which was recorded a few days ago too covering go arounds and missed approaches!

[@Pointyish]

Great news! Missed approaches is probably my final big hurdle, will look forward to it, cheers!

[@davida3940]

Fantastic! Thanks Luke!!

[@BritishAvgeek]

[@GG_Booboo]

[@KeffelewAssefa]

Thank you

[@BritishAvgeek]

You're welcome!

[@shanemercury7315]

Thanks to you a hold isn't scary anymore lol Thank you!

[@BritishAvgeek]

Awesome!!

[@pamcole9578]

Love your videos could you possibly explain why the aircraft went to minimum clean speed when you instructed the fmc to be at 220knots, im sure i missed something?

[@BritishAvgeek]

Good question! The speed in the FMC was the max speed but the aircraft considers everything else after the hold too 🙂

[@ASJmisvideos]

Excelent thanks

[@BritishAvgeek]

You're welcome 🙂 thanks for watching, hope it was helpful

[@Robmlufc]

Top video, cheers!

[@mps_gaming1898]

Most welcome 😁

@@BritishAvgeek Just finished a test flight from CYXY - KIAD PMDG B737 Air Canada and tryed HOLD at fligth on STAR MAPEL 3 DAFIX HOLD point works so well your tutorial :-) KIAD was crasy busy with AIG, get clearance to land about 0.5 from runway, that was stresfule close to go around but i was lucky it was not on VATSIM :-)

[@BritishAvgeek]

@@mps_gaming1898 awesome!

[@BernieParker21]

Thanks Luke👍

[@BritishAvgeek]

Most welcome 🙂 Go Arounds Tutorial going live in just a few hours!

[@pauldevaney7713]

hello so I. flying the IRMN2 arr into LAX. the chart hold at GRIPR only has B230,A190, 240 speed. theres a 10nm slash to. So whats my altitude hold speed, and do I do 1 min or 10nm in time

[@Lucass_.]

737 Has ICING Effect Like DC-6?

[@BritishAvgeek]

I haven't came across it yet myself

[@karlbeard29]

I’m holding off for the 800 variant will these tutorials still apply to that ?

[@LuLeBe]

Should be the exact same

[@BritishAvgeek]

Absolutely 🙂 no reason why any of it should be different

[@rightrudder812]

How do you fly direct in this plane? Been trying to figure it out.

[@shaunkw4756]

In the FMC where you have your waypoints, click the left scratch button on which waypoint you want to fly direct to. This will place the waypoint in the scratchpad and then you need to click the left scratch button on the waypoint you are currently flying to and hit execute. Hopefully this makes sense

[@AstroDad]

what is the hissing / air type noise in the background? I get it in the cockpit also? sounds like a relieve valve lifting, i thought might be trim adjustments from autopilot but trim wheel doesnt move

[@BritishAvgeek]

You mean the airflow against the aircraft?

[@AstroDad]

@@BritishAvgeek i have it also , it is an intermitted noise in the background. I have mentioned and put videos on the PMDG forums but so far no answer, good to know i can hear on yours also. first heard ~4min47secs, few at 8:25, 8:32

[@valkyriewv3535]

Probably the trim

[@BritishAvgeek]

@@AstroDad sounded like the trim sound as Valkyrie said

[@AstroDad]

@@BritishAvgeek yeah sorted thanks, it was the AI co pilot trim even though trim wheel couldn't be seen to be moving.. turned off AI trim and noise has gone ..cheers guys all the best

[@SoupGuyy]

Is the jet two holidays delivery included with the default delivery pack in the 737 pmdg

[@BritishAvgeek]

Hi, no it's downloadable via the link in the description

[@SoupGuyy]

@@BritishAvgeek ah ok it’s just cause I’m on Xbox so I’m waiting lol but I love your vids man, you’ve Teached me a lot about the plane so I will know what to the basics 😂

[@BritishAvgeek]

@@SoupGuyy awesome! Well hopefully when it does release on Xbox there will be some free options for you to download (never pay for a livery - disgraceful that people are charging on marketplace for Xbox users to download a livery)

[@SoupGuyy]

@@BritishAvgeek hopefully because I’ve had to spend so much money on liveries, is it coming out sim update 10

[@BritishAvgeek]

@@SoupGuyy yeah you should pay for liveries - no-one on PC pays for any livery! They're all freeware! It's forecast to come to Xbox "after SU10" so perhaps October/November perhaps
