Thanks for the informative video! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve restarted the flight because of a messed up flight plan - that tip is super useful!

[@FlightSimSchool]

Yep, I did the same until I realized there was an easier way

[@spawningsalmon5111]

That tip where you check your fp with the lower ND is a great tip. The tip on how to fix your route with the discon and how to clear the whole route was a great tip as well. You got a new subscriber.

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to put this together. I always find your videos informative and helpful.

[@FlightSimSchool]

Thank you for saying that, much appreciated

[@Frankestein01nl]

Always helpful, thank you!

[@GG_Booboo]

Great tips! Still getting my head around flying the B737

[@SuperGingerBro]

I just finished up watching all of your tutorial videos on this aircraft. I can't say thank you enough for them. They were all concise and easy to follow. I will continue to refer back to them as I learn this aircraft more and more. Thank you again for making these as now I have the confidence to actually do some flights with this after I bought it. Liked and subscribed for sure!

[@FlightSimSchool]

I'm glad I could help, that's always nice to hear. Enjoy the 737, it's a blast to fly.

[@cessnapilot5905]

Thanks for your awesome videos. Definitely I decided to go with PMGD-800 for MSFS. I love to fly FF767-300 on XP. A new Subscriber and Liked each one of your videos. No crazy music, great info to the point, no annoying comments, and very well done videos. Please keep up with your great job helping the flight sim community. Best regards.

[@FlightSimSchool]

Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated!

[@cessnapilot5905]

Thanks for the tip about the Diamonds for Loc and GS. Sometimes my plane doesn’t follow the GS and I wonder this can be my mistake. Great video!

[@brunogt1982]

Awesome thank you 👍🏼

A wonderful and simple explanation, and I learned wonderful things from you. Thank you

[@NR.2023]

Super Tutorial Videos. You Are Awesome. Keep up the good work. 😊

[@FlightSimSchool]

Thank you, always nice to hear :)

[@paqueegolfclub1715]

Very well done video . . . anyone know how to get ACARS to work with MSFS 2020?

[@FlightSimSchool]

As far as I know, ACARS is inop in the 737.

[@jakegreene5382]

NIce job Mark. I am under the assumption this is a PMDG 737, but watching the video I couldn't figure it out. Been flying PMDG 737s in FSX for about 6 years without a hitch. What I can't figure it out is the control assignments in MSFS with X56 AND being able to choose the desired configuration in control options. I must have watched 30 videos. No one covers these topics. Any help in these areas would be appreciated. Thanks

[@FlightSimSchool]

Thanks Jake, it's actually the 738. Which controls are you trying to bind? Many of them can't be bound directly unless you use a 3rd party app like spadnext, which is what I would recommend.

[@jakegreene5382]

@@FlightSimSchool. Wow!! I didn't know I would have to jump through so many hoops just to have a seamless simulator! You have no idea what I have been through thus far- 1) Slow internet, took 49 hrs to initially download, 2) update needed and Steam forced me to download-AGAIN! Couldn't take it anymore. Changed communications companies where I get up to 350 Mbps instead of 7Mbps. Speeding forward, 3 installs and 2 PMDG installs later I still can't program Trigger, buttons 3,5 and Pinkie on X56. I had NONE of these problems in FSX going all the way back when Bruce Artwick started FS in 1982! But I get it, the scenery is more important than actually flying an accurate product. But I am a commercial pilot junkie! I just knew it would be an awesome experience. And at 73 I would like to spend more time flying than tinkering around with a pink elephant that won't eat the grass I feed it! So, whose this 3rd party?....

[@FlightSimSchool]

​@@jakegreene5382flight simming is definitely a hobby where you have to be ready to tinker and try stuff out to get it how you want!

[@bobcruickshank4489]

Just a question but can you quick start it buy clicking 2 buttons on your controller like on other planes in msfs?

[@FlightSimSchool]

Yes, although it’s more like four clicks. There are panel states you can load to change the plane’s configuration, such as setting it ready for takeoff. My quick start tutorial covers that kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2jWi4icprmAl8ksi=w_PplSiYZJE1Vpz8

[@jayrermars8493]

My com radio is now going up and down in 25s instead 5s? Example 120.30 then 120.55? Why can't I tune to 120.35 anymore? Any ideas? Thanks.

[@FlightSimSchool]

There is a setting in the FMC if you go into PMDG Setup, that you can change the frequency spacing. Not sure why it changed on you but it's in there somewhere if you dig around for it

[@jayrermars8493]

@@FlightSimSchool Ok many thanks for your help..I did have a good look through the fmc settings earlier and couldn't find anything about the radio spacing. Instead I just restarted the sim and it's back to normal. I've no idea why it changed either as been fine for plenty of flights so far??

[@FlightSimSchool]

Maybe it was just a bug then!
