PMDG 737 NGX: Forward Panels Explained

[@carringtonwoods2]

These tutorials are the best I've seen anywhere. You tell exactly what everything is and what everything does. GREAT job!

[@Doofer911]

Thank you very much for the kind comment. I just want people to make the most of this plane because there is a lot to it

[@mikepapahotel]

Excellent tutorial - congratulations! Currently flying the X-Plane IXEG 737 and whilst there are a lot of good 737 tutes out there, I haven't seen anything as comprehensive or as well explained as yours. Thank you! 😊

[@Doofer911]

Hey Michael, thank you for the kind comment! I'm really glad these videos can be applied to the IXEG 737 as well! :)

[@dronesim]

I was only flying Airbus aircraft in the Sim. Because of your highly valuable effort, I am now starting to get used to Boeing aircraft. And for this I want to thank you very much sir. These videos are by far the most detailed once I've ever found on YT

[@Doofer911]

Thank you for the kind comment, a lot of effort went into making these videos so I'm glad they are helping you :)

[@TopgunB]

You don't fully realize how good these tutorials are until you start learning to fly this aircraft! This is the real thing if you want to have any chance of flying a real Boeing, PMDG is the only way to go. The standard Boeings are shadows of the real thing and are really just a sophisticated computer game! I agree, Doofer's tutorials are the best out there!

[@lethumolefe-mhlongo1508]

This was super helpful. I spent 30 minutes searching for exactly this

[@zacsalad3586]

The work you do is amazing! Thank you so much

[@Doofer911]

Thank you for the kind comment :)

[@colinprice4011]

I've just started to research flying the PMDG 737 NGX again after a long break and I was pleased to find your tutorial series. So far, I'm finding them to be very helpful and easy to follow. Nice job.

[@Doofer911]

Thank you very much, glad my videos could help :)

[@angelosrs]

An excellent tutorial, providing a comprehensive description of a quite complicated panel. Well-done and look forward for any next tutorial :)

[@darengardner6219]

Just got this plane . These tutorials by Doofer are the best on youtube by a mile .

[@Doofer911]

Thank you for the kind comment, I'm glad you liked the videos :)

[@chrimkuk]

Impressive! Great visuals and an 'easy on the ear' voice! Well done.

[@Doofer911]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching.... more videos in this plane coming soon!

[@Echin0idea]

Not a pilot or an engineer so I would have to guess, but I imagine the HUD and HUD annunciator thing is a crew resource management decision - if the captain is using the HUD they are going to be the pilot flying and want to be eyes-out (the whole point of the HUD). Checking the HUD annunciator would force them to goes eyes-in, defeating the purpose. It makes much more sense to give the HUD annunciator panel to the first officer who would be eyes-in as pilot monitoring and therefore in a better position to notice and do something about a HUD fault warning.

[@Doofer911]

That's a good shout actually!

[@kafilahmad9326]

Echin0idea up0 Aa yt

[@pilotominal9323]

Very good explanation, it does make sense.

[@pulidoggy]

Thank you so much for the very clear tutorial, professionally shooted, thoroughly and competently explained. Greatly useful and a real pleasure to watch !

[@corswaager710]

Thank You very very much. I am looking for your coming vids about the hud and the fmc/cdu. Great job.

[@Doofer911]

Yeah I'm looking forward to learning them in depth and properly finishing learning as much as I can about this plane without being a real pilot!

[@JayantKumar-dn3zu]

An Extremely helpful tutorial for PC simulator flyers like me. thanks man. Now I’m gonna go and fly like a pro.

[@xaviduch]

Wow...I am enjoying this like being on a theater watching a great movie...Truly amazing.Incredible job..at this time, first and second video...so we move to the next! Bravo!!

[@Doofer911]

Thanks very much, glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@johngoncalves4738]

Simply a fantastic tutorial. [All of them, by the way]. Thank you.

[@miri6056]

Just... PERFECT EXPLANATION! Thank you so much 😃

[@napalm3728]

I am now a qualified 737 fsx pilot. Thank you.

[@russ1978]

Very well done, lots of effort obviously gone into your tutorials

[@Doofer911]

Well to give you an idea, I've added about 200 hours to my FSX game time over the past few months ONLY flying this aircraft and sitting in the cockpit poking buttons, figuring out how they work and what they do. Add to that many hours reading documentation, making notes then all the production hours that go into making a video as well. Quite a lot! haha

[@russ1978]

Doofer911 I’ve been trying to learn the 737 for a while now too. Reading charts while in work, mastering he fmc and understanding the overhead panels. But your basically learning it for people and delivering the knowledge in the clearest way. I’ve learned lots that I didn’t know about. I suppose you will never actually stop learning this plane. The whole process of flying is just one big tutorial that will never end especially for real life pilots! Anyway great job and looking forward to your next video, the middle radio panel I believe.

[@russ1978]

Would also like to add just how clear and perfectly paced the tutorials are. Anybody learning to fly the PMDG aircraft on the simulator won’t find a more straight forward easier way of learning than your tutorials. I would love to see a video at the end of you demonstrating how your actually using each of these buttons and knobs Separately while in flight so people would know exactly the right scenario to use a command like level change for example! Again, great stuff, love it!

[@Doofer911]

Yeah the plan is to do videos showing the various procedures from Cold and Dark through setup through preflight, engine start etc. After all that I may do a long, uncut video of a flight but I'm not sure if I want to do that after the procedure guides or after I've done all the videos including learning other systems (like the Autoflight modes) in detail. As you said, there's so much to learn but I'll have to step away from it at some point to focus on other aircraft and ideas for the channel.

[@MonishJohnson]

That's really the best video I ever seen. Really explained well. Please make a detailed video on following topics also:- using fmc, using auto pilot, starting 737 from cold till takeoff. About vor/adfi and all like terms you said. Also takeoff cruise and landing tutorial.

[@Doofer911]

Currently working on all of those ;)

[@KrisMuscledspider77]

Man you should become a CFI

[@pilotominal9323]

Thank you for this amazing tutorial!

[@Exploratorium360]

Thanks. Very organized and detailed tutorial . You are a pro. 👍👍👍👍

[@fusionace]

I only have the Aerosoft A320 family... I still watch these videos though. Keep it up!

[@Doofer911]

Hopefully if you decide to come over to the Boeing family at some point, these videos will give yoyu a running start :)

[@pops2728]

Excellent video. Very well explained. Many thanks and keep up the good work.

[@Doofer911]

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

[@deydeygamer8821]

Excellent video tutorial very help full - congratulations!

[@rangerrick8220]

Excellent video - appreciate the detail. One question - on the Primary Flight Display I often notice a green arc going back and forth infront on the aircraft along it's track... what is this? Never seem to find a tutorial that explains it (or not yet anyways).

[@Doofer911]

It indicates the point at which the aircraft will level out from a climb or descent. Useful if you're trying to hit a certain altitude at a certain waypoint.

[@ronloveflying]

Thanks for the video. Where can I buy pictures of the display covered by you of 737-800 but not the HUD display in actual size please? I thank you in advance.

[@jazzcat4116]

Very nice job. Well done!

[@roberthatcher2773]

Excellent as always, thanks!

[@Doofer911]

My pleasure!

[@pilotlineup9859]

[@Altenholz]

Agree, wonderful made-thanks!

[@peterbodzak7078]

Great work

[@AnindyaAdhikari]

Hello bro, i want the documentations on how i can start a plane from cold and dark to ready for taxi and take off. Can you please provide me a link? I am playing a flight simulator x and xplane and an aerofly. Please help. Thanks!

[@Doofer911]

The documentation comes with the aircraft. I've simply put it into video form.

[@tubzvermeulen]

Thanks for the video

[@antonya6604]

V nav and l nav and approach button is not working.. wt is the solution for that ??

[@Doofer911]

[@rmaverick2228]

Thank you so much for this video.. One more video with pedestal and it's over because it's too much :)).. i think almoast 3 hours only explanation.. And to Airbus 50minutes was enought :))

[@Doofer911]

Yeah, the thing is that this aircraft is REALLY detailed so I want to cover as much of it as I can as best as I can.

[@jankin880]

Invaluable explanation.....thanx

[@Doofer911]

You're welcome :)

[@Exploratorium360]

As Usual ! Great video. Thanks.

[@Doofer911]

No worries, thanks for watching :)

[@sageerkabeer2822]

hallo halloo mr Doofer 911 can you explain for us how to change the route(path) while you are flying on the route which it fixed in mcdu (fmc)? i mean: suppose happened with you emergency case and you have to inter new route from the way point or the place you are in to the nearest airport,,,,,, how to do that by putting new air ways and way points in the (fmc) which it will lead you to the nearest airport? best regards to your nice person

[@Doofer911]

I will talk about how to use the CDU in a future video in this series and I'll cover making changes to the planned route in that video.

[@campia901]

Great video again

[@Doofer911]

Cheers, I promise, the next bunch of videos shouldn't be as long as this!

[@campia901]

Doofer911 Complex plane so long videos are expected. Plus the quality is very high

[@flankerskioneniner4290]

Thanks mate

[@johnethebigmac550]

Some countrys measure theire hight in meters. Haha. I would reaver say, most countries use meters
