PMDG 737 NGX: 1. Electrical Power Up

[@MexTixi]

the best video series to fully undertstand PMDG 737 line , thank you so much for your time , even after all these years you are still the top !

[@MonishJohnson]

One of the best in class aviation video. Please make videos fast. Can't wait long...

[@Doofer911]

Thanks for the kind comment, these procedure guide videos will be coming out every 2 days and then there'll be a gap until the detailed system videos come out.

[@SmartSitti]

The best series of PMDG B738NGX Tutorial.

[@TheLowSnow]

Hey Joss I recently bought MSFS and of course the PMDG 737-800 for it. I was looking back through my "favourite video" list 'cause I really found these tutorial videos comprehensive. They helped me fly the 737 better. Now I don't know if you're still very active on social media, but I was wondering if you could do these same kind of tutorial videos on MSFS? Of course, these videos are still applicable to the 737 since the plane hasn't changed a lot, but anyway if you see this message, please consider making these tutorial videos for MSFS. I'm sure a lot of people will be excited if you do so ;)

[@Doofer911]

I could be tempted to get back into regular flight simming! It's just that being a grown up now feels like it's pulling me in so many different directions that I rarely have a long "block" where I can just sit and enjoy a long flight.

[@Aurora-xc6jl]

@@Doofer911 7 Years later and you're still responding to comments, Respect Man. I myself is getting back to FSX since I cannot afford a better PC or components for MSFS or xplane 11. I hope you realize you've helped thousands of people like me man.

[@Heyapple924]

Doofer, thank you so much for your videos! Glad i found your channel, the very best!

[@Doofer911]

You're welcome, thanks very much for watching.

[@zzzzzipper]

Excellent video. Anxiously awaiting more in this series of tutorials.

[@Doofer911]

Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm aiming to have each of these "procedure guide" videos out every second day, then there'll be a gap and I'll get the detailed systems videos together for things like the various autoflight modes, HUD system, covering the CDU in detail etc.

[@pilotominal9323]

Thank you very much for sharing this tutorial for free!

[@fspotter7569]

Not to sure about the 737, But before switching on the batteries on an aircraft, make sure the wipers are off first so that once u turn it on, the wipers will not switch on and damage the windows. Can watch videos online like baltic aviation which has trainie pilots going through the start up (Not proper procedues tho)

[@Doofer911]

As I said at the start of the video, the procedures followed are the ones given in PMDG's FCOM1 document. Real airlines may teach their pilots different procedures but what I show in these videos matches the documentation given.

[@dabloclaims6884]

Bro appreciate u helping , now I understand more about a 737 and it’s all bcoz of u and once again thx keep it up;)

[@Doofer911]

You're welcome, I'm glad my videos can help :)

[@Exploratorium360]

You awesom ! Detail oriented and to the point tutorial 👍

[@HDCairnsAviation]

Hey Doofer, when I put my battery on my FMC doesn't light up, what's the go with that?

[@fouaadqazi9745]

Liked,your tutorial are great tools,,,especially with checklists,,,,thnk yu

[@Doofer911]

I'm glad you liked the videos, thank you for watching :)

[@oro911]

WISH YOU HAD DONE PMDG 777 TUTORIALS. THAT WOULD MAKE LIFE A LITTLE EASY. GOOD LUCK ...

[@Doofer911]

I might still do videos in the future in the 777

[@Exploratorium360]

My man ! Great work ! As usual....Neat....👋👋👋

[@Doofer911]

Thanks for the kind comment, glad you liked it :)

[@virtualaviator21156]

how do you make this checklist ? its awesome!

[@johnnygradi9017]

hello and congratulations. a curiosity, what is that check list where the items are highlighted in green after your actions? thank you

[@pareshrr]

What is the camera plugin you are using to show all the cockpit panels?

[@TopgunB]

Superb as usual Doofer. What software do you use for your lists of things to do?

[@Doofer911]

Photoshop lol. They're basically pictures laid on top of the simulator recording and the text colour changes are synchronised in video editing.

[@jet-inairwaysvirtual.4290]

Great vid, can i still buy this plane sonewere for fsx steam?

[@jet-inairwaysvirtual.4290]

i would like to buy a fresh copy,

[@pbr2805]

You need to check the GPU fire warning test lights before selecting the GPU switch.

[@Aviator738]

what is GPU fire warning lol

[@jankeessteenbergen]

do you have a link to the pmdg file you are using?

[@roddixon7687]

Hi Doofer911 can you please advise why my LCD Engine Screen is located in between both CDU's and yours is below it. also the the screen above is blank. when checking oil levels and pressing the sys button nothing happens. Thanks so much for the work you do and the brilliant productions of the training videos.

[@Doofer911]

Hi Rod, you might want to check the two white rotating knobs just above your Primary Flight Display (PFD) and Nav Display (ND). They should both be set to "Norm". Might be worth checking the First Officer's switches as well. I suspect that you might have accidentally clicked on one. Those switches can be used to "move" a display onto a different screen in the event that one of the screens fail.

[@rchauhan94]

Thank your for your excellent videos. I'm a doctor and I feel like I'm geting a virtual type rating through this series. Just one question, may be I don't remember from the previous videos though I saw them full is how are emergency slides deployed? On which panel is the control for it?

[@Doofer911]

The pilots don't control emergency slide deployment. The emergency slides are usually deployed by flight attendants. I might be wrong but I think this is how they work.... Slides have a strap attached to a metal bar and when that strap is pulled, that inflates the slide, much like how the life-jackets under the seats work. The slides are usually stored just underneath a door. When the flight attendants "Arm" the doors, what they do is take that strap and connect it to the door. So if the door is opened, it pulls the strap and activates air canisters inside the slide causing it to inflate. When the doors are "Disarmed", the strap and bar are disconnected from the door and stowed next to the slide under the door.

[@giantpickle]

Where can I find the FCOM manual that can be shown in-game?

[@Doofer911]

The procedures shown in the video have been added in during video editing, they're not part of the simulator. For the manuals themselves, you should be able to find PDFs of the FCOM manual under your simulator's install folder, then within a PMDG sub folder

[@MahendraSolanki-hg6no]

Hello which program do you use to display the check list on the screen. And is it possible to make a video to show how its done. Thank you. All the best

[@Doofer911]

It's just a graphical overlay that was added in using a video editor. It's not an add on or anything like that.

[@ColinRichardson]

Great video. What do all these systems we are checking the state of mean? Like pseu. I understand we need to make sure it's off, but what is it? What if the light is on?

[@Doofer911]

First three videos explain everything: kzbin.info/aero/PLPgR-UyZEDFqE96-zuyvnm1yNfGxuhi8L

[@zacsalad3586]

Dude! You’re amazing !!

[@Doofer911]

dawww you're too kind, I'm not amazing, just put a lot of time and effort into learning this aircraft.

[@calvinvong3437]

Hope have the Tutorials of Boeing 777

[@Doofer911]

I may do videos of i in the future.

[@ZAKARIA_59]

Great Habibi

[@dandyarkan6823]

Great video, but why in my pmdg737 there is a straight red line on vertical speed and in the middle also there is red line like " X " on my PFD. Thx

[@dandyarkan6823]

Vertical speed indicator*

[@Doofer911]

Usually the displays won't be active until the IRS systems have been aligned and the aircraft's current position has been entered into the CDU. I think I cover those steps in the next video of the 737 series.

[@rahulmaurya3886]

was waiting for this hard :) live streams??

[@Doofer911]

Working on getting a good internet connection sorted, then there'll be lots of streams and I can finally get started on Twitch as well!

[@ColinRichardson]

Noooo. Not twitch

[@Doofer911]

KZbin has pushed many creators away over the past couple of years, myself included. My Analytics are pitiful compared to a few years ago when I had 1/10th the audience I do now.

[@rahulmaurya3886]

dont give up yet dooof .The road to 1 mil awaits

[@Doofer911]

Haha, I'm less hopeful that this channel can make it... but I've had ideas for a second YT channel that could make it to that level ;)

[@karimfeki9391]

i have a problem with the IRS

[@bharathams]

which software is used for showing this panel

[@Doofer911]

There's no software, it's just a graphical overlay that was added with a video editor.

[@AliBaba-vw7mo]

What is the slight hum when in a cold and dark state?

[@Doofer911]

It might be my PC being picked up on the microphone during narration.

[@alexting827]

Cool!

[@Doofer911]

Glad you liked it!

[@vladimirkurdish2318]

When I turn on battery, I heard the sound of it

[@Doofer911]

Yep, all of the cockpit electronics and cooling fans begin kicking into action when the Battery is turned on :)

[@rmaverick2228]

omg, omg, omg ... video :X

[@Doofer911]

Hope you enjoyed it! ;)
