MSFS | TUTORIAL: PMDG Boeing 737 with a Real World Pilot | Full Flight Lesson | Stansted to Dublin

[@-Owly-]

I like when tutorials are kept as short as possible. I was searching for a 10ish min cold&dark tutorial and stayed because 2,5hrs was as short as possible to provide - as u said - around (i expect) 90% of everything you need to know for operating the PMDG 737-700/800. Calmly, professional and catchiy even tho it's been over 4 hrs with putting it step by step straight into practice while watching it...i'm sweating and tired but still so glad i found this gem of a video..cheers to u guys!

[@FilbertFlies]

Really pleased it kept your attention and thanks for the kind words :-)

[@BrandonEden-y6q]

Exactly I thought I would listen for five minutes but I couldn't stop listening

[@Mr.Martini549]

So much information out there for this plane. It’s like drinking from a fire hose!

​@@muratdemir82yeah. And odd one too.

[@Kadesh86]

I watched this video about 4 times before buying the PMDG 737 yesterday... It is amazing and this video is amazing. Thank you and thank Seb for his time and patience.

[@highspec_tech90]

After giving up on the 737 for a while vs A320NX, came across this video and unlike a few videos out there, this one gets everything right. Took a good few attempts but managed to complete a cold & dark startup and full flight. You’ve greatly widened my MSFS experience!

[@abarth003]

A mega video again. This tutorial is above every other PMDG 737 tutorial on youtube at the moment. Thank you very much for both of you.

[@FilbertFlies]

Thank you for the kind words.

[@Mr.Martini549]

Agreed!

[@JC-xz4ec]

I know I'm late to this, but I wanted to say that I appreciate the work you both put into this l, but also the fact that the guest pilot was willing to say that he didn't know something when you asked him about things he wasn't sure about. Too many people try and pretend they know things that they don't. I respect the fact he would say he didn't know, when he didn't know the answer.

[@Pickle24H]

just bought the 737-800 started searching for tutorials as I didn’t even know how to give it electrical power, saw a lot of tutorials that just didn’t give me enough info for me and a lot of my flights failed, saw this watched it all the way through and I am proud to say i’ve done 2 perfect flights so far

[@FilbertFlies]

That's really good to hear - I'm pleased it helped you :-)

[@Myersman0]

I think a lot of people have been waiting for this one! Thanks very much to you and Seb for doing this!

[@mathiasaut617]

Thanks very much for that awesome tutorial. I normally hate to watch a 2,5h tutorial, but with you two chatting to each other it felt like 30mins. And you coverd so much, also very easy to understand. Thanks!

[@philippe165]

I know it's an old ish video, but I'm new to this. I just want to thank both of you for this superb tutorial. I have flown the 737/800 a few times, but often, hit and miss 😮. Now, I've watched your video and taken six pages of notes, I'm hoping my flying will improve. Thanks again Captain for taking the time to share your knowledge, and you Filbertflies for making it possible 👍

[@Yapyap901]

Could you share the notes maybe?

[@sniper-sim]

Great tutorial - Love these series (777 and 737) with a real world pilot guiding the process! Fantastic hand-holding, step by step, and more importantly lots of explanation as to what is being done and why. Thanks and Cheers!

[@andrewsanderson1235]

Fantastic team-up 737/320 pilots. Having been flying the 320 in the sim for last 2 years I found it quite difficult to learn the 737 all over again but this tutorial helped enormously. I made notes and referred to them on my first full flight and it worked out pretty well. Many thanks indeed.

[@ooDemiurgus]

As a decades long simmer, I really appreciate these videos, step by step. Always something new to learn! Well done, lads. You both work wonderfully together! Very nice video.

[@SavionBostick-zb8jz]

went from knowing nothing 3 months ago to have watched this 3 times fully and know know how to do it by memory all of it! thank u alot i use the real world delta procedures tho i get from my pilot for the 738

[@PlastikDream]

Maybe one of the best video on the subject on KZbin ! thank's a lot for that !

[@mikebakkeyt]

Excellent! Many thanks to Seb for a very interesting session. These real world pilot collabs are the most useful of streams - still remember the CRJ one you did which helped me so much.

[@ryerye3147]

just purchased the aircraft and this has been helping me tons! it is definitely a different beast and I look forward to getting to grips with it.

[@Chamsix]

This is by far the most interesting tutorial video for the 737 !!! Thank you

[@FilbertFlies]

Thanks for the comment - glad you enjoyed it. :)

[@canprince]

I really enjoyed this and appreciated the additional insight you both provided. Often time, tutorials provide steps to complete tasks without any context or clarification as to why. Thank you for sharing. I was captivated throughout the entire video and watched it right to the end. :)

[@FilbertFlies]

Thanks for the nice feedback. Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂

[@slicker55]

Absolutely brilliant - a definitive reference for anyone new to the PMDG or for those wishing to refresh their memories... the list of chapters is also very useful ... many thanks ... already subscribed but another 'thumb up'...

[@SpaceJelly45]

I didn't think I wanted to watch a 2hr 40min tutorial, but it turns out that I absolutely did. I will probably watch it at least one more time. I also was thinking I wanted a 2 page checklist that just covered the necessities but your 7 page checklist linked in the description was exactly what I wanted, I just didn't know it until now. Thank you, awesome job!

[@CyberSystemOverload]

Excellent video, so great to hear the great aviation banter in this detailed video. The Ryanair pilot has a calm voice, will make such a good instructor. How lucky we are to have real world pros guide us in our airplane games.

[@BackcountrySTOL]

Wow, pretty awesome video and huge thanks to a 737 1st officer for taking the time to teach a bunch of rookie sim aviators how to handle a 737.

[@LuLeBe]

This is truly the best tutorial for this aircraft. As are all of your videos. Watched the CJ4 Tutorial years ago and then the CRJ when I got it. I tried shorter videos to get to know the 737 but nothing beats this one. I hope you'll continue with this series on various other aircraft. MD82, A320 and once they release the A310, 757, 777 and so on. Maybe someone from FBW or Salty could come in for an A320 or 747 video? That'd be amazing!

[@FilbertFlies]

Thank you! Would love to do similar videos on all of these aircraft but it's a question of tracking down real world pilots who want to devote 6 hours of their days off to doing a video with me, and that's easier said than done sadly.

[@LuLeBe]

@@FilbertFlies oh I can only imagine the work in the background. I'm not saying this as a request, merely saying that your effort wouldn't be wasted on any aircraft, really. For the A320 there are two really nice German pilots (capt320 and riiva) who do regular streams and seem really cool. Night be worth a shot.

[@CentralFloridaHipHop]

I followed step by step and wrote down my own RyanAir checklist from this video. I follow these checklists whenever I fly the PMDG. Great video

[@theedge1231]

What a great video. Best tutorial I’ve seen for any aircraft

[@Mr.Martini549]

Easily the best cold and dark start up tutorial I’ve seen for this aircraft. Slow, concise and thorough. Which is what I need. Drawing the red box around each noted setting is so, so helpful. One question though, just before taking off, wouldn’t one start the chrono timer that references the elapsed flight time?

[@rafaelcosta5107]

This is the clearest and most comprehensive tutorial I had ever watched about Flight Simulator. Congratulations. Even though it was "in depth" (for Flight Sim purposes) it wasn't hard to understand and unlike other in depth videos, it was not prolix nor boring at all. I would just like to add one simple suggestion, which is simply avoid whispering. Try talking "loud and clear". The whole video sounded like the Ryan Air pilot was struggling not to wake up a child or was hidden somewhere he shouldn't be speaking. Specially for non native english speakers, this makes a LOT of difference. But this is no demerit at all. The video is marvelous, well structured and everything was explained very clearly. Congratulations again.

[@dobbo4596]

Great tutorial this, i had some bad habits and i followed this start to finish and learnt a fair few things about how the autopilot works and managing decent. Will run through this a few times ..cheers guys.

[@pushkardureja6863]

One of the most comprehensive and detailed video for 737. Thanks for the detailed info.

[@AmazeTase]

You absolute star. Appreciate you both raking the time out to produce this tutorial.

[@therealpoody7485]

Thank you so much for this. I wrote down 7 pages of notes from this and will make my own check list with it. Anyone else watch this all the way through 2 times now?

[@nils-eriknilsson6071]

Thanks for this tutorial, been only in Airbus 320 and just started with the PMDG 737-800 and really felt i needed someone to hold my hand in the first flights.

[@topgun5054]

I took notes ... ended up with 12 pages of steps for this. Wow that's a lot to take in. Good video guys.

[@ArieGBoom]

What a great tutorial it is and certainly a (the) benchmark for simmers flying under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)! Yes, looking forward to a next session e.g. including holding patterns. Many thanks for this one.

[@ridley8340]

Marvellous video, I spent thew whole day working through it whilst flying the same route and pausing etc. I made a few errors but managed to land okay in Dublin and have certainly progressed better than with any other video, ceratinly not as simple as the A20N. Subscribed

[@Astros52]

I just wanted to thank you for this in depth tutorial, while a lot of this seems sort of un-needed, it's nice to know what all actions do in the sim and in real life. Keep up the good work!

[@FilbertFlies]

My pleasure! Appreciate the thanks. 🙂

[@its-kemo]

Used to guide me through PMDG 737-800. Excellent content. Thank you very much for the video! Happy flying!

[@donc9751]

This is just the video I needed to work my way thru starting up and programming the fmc with all the info it needs to complete its flight plan and everything else a newbie could need for learning to set up the PMDG 737! Im flying the 737-700 but am assuming the process will be basically identical so im giving this a go thru and hopefully Ill be able to fly with a livestream group later tonight! Thanks for posting this video to walk us thru the process!

[@Flight_Deck76]

2nd time watching the hole video one without flollowing and one following, Best video ive ever seen that deservers a sub, keep it up!

[@adamtolley2949]

Brilliant tutorial. Watched the whole from start to finish and noted all relevant/important information in a note pad which resulted to 11 pages worth. Thank you so much for this video!

[@MontSutton01]

I know this has been out awhile, but I also want to give my high 5. Logical and precise, well explained and easy to go back to when your not sure of one part or another. Also, your checklist Ryanair Flows is perfect.

[@jammiesimulations8274]

Oh my lord. This is absolutely bloody fantastic. Extravagant. Fabulous. Legendary.

[@hs1296]

Your similar video on the CRJ was what got me started off...and I must say I really enjoyed it, and learnt a lot as well too. Thanks for this - wasn't expecting tbh, but am ecstatic!! Awesome stuff as always! 🤗🤗😍😍

[@gzibeczek]

I've been searching for an full, great explained tutorial for this aircraft and for sure this is what I was looking for. Thank you very much😘

[@FilbertFlies]

Pleasure 🙂

[@Ste_Doc]

one of the best tutorials ever seen, good thank you

[@theaustralianconundrum]

As a former line pilot this video brings back many memories. That said, as a new owner of an Xbox Series X, I am delighting myself and friends doing sight seeing flights via our 86" UHD 4K LG TV. That such a small innocent black box can crank out such decent textures in 4K at a high frame rate is amazing. One note I would make is there needs to be an alteration to Microsoft's technical advice that 50MB/sec internet connection speed is optimal when running Bing photogrammetry, live weather and live air traffic. I have a 100MB/sec fibre connection and it's perfect. However if I look at so many KZbinr channels dedicated to MSFS 2020 it's very clear their internet connection speeds are very low indeed and I'd estimate most are below 30 MB/sec. Cheers from Australia.

[@FilbertFlies]

Yeah, it's incredible just how amazing this sim can look on pretty basic hardware. Did you fly the 737?

[@theaustralianconundrum]

One of the best and most detailed video on PMDG 737. Kudos Cap!!!

[@hiortintexasracing]

The textures looks amazing on the close ups on the pedestal

[@furn2313]

1:34:54 In my experience pressing the Speed button disconnects the NNAV/LNAV(can't remember which maybe both) and it lets you hold the speed you choose, in some instances I think it disconnected the autopilot all together and it makes you fly the plane using The Speed, heading and Altitude holds I don't know why anyone would do that though because it requires almost consecutive inputs.

[@_alienblood]

Its great to get a real world pilot tutorial on this aircraft many thanks.

[@CenturyMediaFilms]

exactly the video I waited for! excellent captains

[@jamesmitchell9561]

That video was so informative and instructive!!! I have been flying B738 variant and this will help immensely!!! Big thanks to the 737 First Officer too

[@broeloe]

Best video on the Internet. Have seen this one I think ten times. Especially now that FS2Crew is coming out with SOP2 in which they follow Ryanair procedures.

[@FilbertFlies]

The best video on the internet?.I'll take it! Thanks. 🙂

[@dabneyoffermein595]

wow, how do you remember all of those short-cut-keys to go to different areas of the cockpit so quickly and smoothly as you program this PMDG brilliant plane? It seems you have memorized all of the short-cut-keys....which is very difficult.

[@FilbertFlies]

I set them up myself, and they sort of make sense geographically which helps. I did a video on how to do this here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jH29lqOddriJrJY

[@Vonobox1]

WOW! What a fantastic video, I've seen many similar but this was the best by far, I love the explanations of WHY things are done, rather than just 'click this, then that'. I had the PMDG for P3D, this has just inspired me to get it for MSFS. Watched every minute of this truly fascinated. Great job... thanks!

[@dana4jetson]

Best tutorial so far on the pmdg 737 for msfs!!! Thank you so much and lets have more of it!!

[@manion2533]

Hey man how you doing, im stuck in the final flow MCP, Efis etc... You guys elected the heading, courses, were talking about turns etc... but didnt quite well explained where you guys got that from i know that chart was opened ( I guess from there) but again as a newbie we might be a little bit ignorant if you dont explain things like apply by apple to say it somehow but other than that really appreciate for the tutorial.

[@apolloB747]

What a great video I have been taking so many notes and writing down EVERYTHING on google docs I have been flying the 737 in the sim for about 2 months but have just now realised how much I've done wrong hahah

[@FilbertFlies]

Glad you've found it useful 🙂 I've been flying 737s in sims for longer than I'd care to remember and I also learnt a huge amount.

[@apolloB747]

@@FilbertFlies I’ve just finished a flight from London city to Dublin using everything I now know while going through steps that I have wrote down from your video it turned out perfectly although it will get a lot of getting used to learning it all off by hart of course I will still need things that are required like checklists 👍 (sorry for making you read this essay of a reply)

[@BobSmith-sc6dq]

Great video. I presume it descended because in your SID you had 3000 altitude constraint at D170E (time stamp @27:24). I was interested to see how he was going to deal with that, I presume just overwrite it and make it 4000?

Absolutely remarkable! Liked, subbed and saved! Kudos to Mr Pilot Seb!!!! Loved it

[@truckera5892]

Really good video for new guys learning to fly the sim

[@qwato]

PS the offset during take-off when it was trying to level at 4000ft has to do with the coded PID controller. MSFS uses a first-order derivative which is a more rudimentary numerical calculation opposed to the actual ones used by Boeing. This has to do with the computational power which in turns affects the 'correctness' of overshoot/dampening effect.

[@FilbertFlies]

Very interesting, thanks!

[@MikeMurphy65]

Thank you both very much for producing this video. It is very informative and easy to follow. Very much appreciated to someone like me returning to flight sim after a 10 year absence.

2--3 years ago I like to speedrun through the cold and dark process ( no oxygen test, instrument test etc ). but now I really want to learn how to fly the airplane the right way. thanks to ur video I learned alot from it. the only downside is my brain can't keep up with the sequences. I tend to forget things easily so I had to follow this video from start to engine start every single time I want to fly. Good thing it usually take 4-5 flights before I can remember and fly without help from your video. 😂😅
