This engine spooling up in the cabin sounds like an ambulance siren!

[@user-ek2cd7oj2k]

your comment about the beacon is very much appreciated. It's very frustrating sometimes when pilots are at the gate for a prolonged time with the beacon on it impedes traffic on the tarmac

Watching all these tutorials while I patiently wait for my new PC to arrive 🙃

[@jamesbp]

What did you get? Building it or no?

[@jay790962666]

Exciting feeling!

[@madmaxaviation]

@@jamesbp It arrived today! I bought a prebuilt one with a 4070 and and i9 with 32gb of DDR4. Looking forward to getting many happy hours out of it. It’s a pretty big upgrade, my last pc had an i5-8400 with a 1660 super.

[@gregoryl.4872]

Thanks for providing the details. We really need these. Great video.

[@slava5322]

an excellent manual

[@mic83hele]

Great, waiting for PMDG 777 Tutorial 6!

[@A330Driver]

Coming soon!

[@mic83hele]

@@A330Driver Thanks!

[@daveorr5858]

Did my first flight plane is impressive watching your videos to see what i missed and can improve on can’t wait for your e book!

[@gregoryl.4872]

Thanks!

[@ronaldjames]

I suggest using the flight control synopstic page in flightsim because they’re times where some controls such as the rudder in my case doesn’t travel fully from one side to the other requiring a reconnection of the rudders. So I’d suggest to look at that page just in case

[@ArrRoh]

But why did we actually get the pack fault ECAS message?!

[@A330Driver]

It's a flying computer, they just needed a reset and then they worked again. Stuff happens, as pilots we do not always have to understand the reasons, just the solutions.

[@ArrRoh]

@@A330Driver super interesting, and agree about the flying computers. Even they need to sleep sometimes!

[@TwentyNailsBike]

Well, as usual, thanks so much for the videos! Any idea why I'm getting the HYD PRESS DEM C2 and HYD PRESS DEM C1 error messages after turning on hydraliucs? I'm doing exactly as described in 4:20. Just realized that turning the C1 and C2 AIR switches from AUTO to ON and back to AUTO removes the error.

[@mic83hele]

Great, can I ask you from where you gained the first altitude of 5000? Thanks!

[@A330Driver]

Thanks! Of course you can ask ;-) It's from the departure chart, the initial climb is given on there.

[@mic83hele]

@@A330Driver Thanks!

How do I set the trimon the 777?

[@Treadstone7]

How is it that in the Airbus, the trim setting is checked and reviewed as percentage of MAC and not as the actual trim setting used (like 0.2UP) and in Boeing aircraft it's always checked as the actual position of the trim ? Like here, 4.50 ? It just seems a bit counterintuitive for me. Maybe you know why that is. 😊

[@trulyproductive1]

What do you use for pushback? I can only SHIFT+P straight back as it appears pmdg's fms pushback doesn't work

[@MarekHron]

GSX

[@alibs8278]

Is anyone experiencing bugs on the aircraft mine isn’t able to start battery’s or something

[@A330Driver]

For support check the PMDG forum or send them a support ticket.

[@mythic017]

​@thenoface2771 I was having the same issue as you. I thought it was a problem with the binding of the parking brake to a switch on my bravo throttle quadrant. It turns out you have to apply some toe brake pressure (hold your toe brake button) for a few seconds, and it will properly disengage, allowing you to move the aircraft. I don't know if this is a 777 operational thing or if this is a bug. Edit: @320 Sim Pilot explains it all in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/nV7CgpWgjKZ1hqcsi=tzZzvZc6sS43CsAd

[@martincraig2453]

Hope you don't mind me asking but how do you set the pitch trim ??

[@A330Driver]

No worries at all for asking a question! Use the thumbswitches on the control column.

[@martincraig2453]

@@A330Driver Thanks for the reply. I actually tried that but the thumb switches don't appear to do anything. I will try again. Btw keep up the great work. Your tutorials are excellent 👍

[@maffarick]

How much will the 777 ebook cost?

[@A330Driver]

I haven't decided the final price yet, but probably something about 19,99€.

[@hajimetakahashi632]

how the pushback works without GSX? I saw the pushback service is gray unavailable, doing the ms2020 pushback system works shitty. at the 737 pmdg it was possible on better way how it works with 777?

[@mcshiggitypilot5901]

use on your keyboard Shift + P
