1:42 Jetblue contemplating intrusive thoughts... xD

[@Denis-xl9or]

Finally a good CBT course! Gonna finally upgrade from 737!

[@jaredcook6212]

nice video! I’d love to see how you set up your bravo throttle for the 777. Haven’t been able to figure it out yet. cheers

[@patricecerasoli6944]

Thanks a lot. I thought that Runway turnoff light had to be On when on the runway. I have noticed according to this video that I was wrong. Please give some precisions about the use and utility of this. Thank you.

6:14 I have a picture in mind... "Langstrecke heißt Langstrecke weil sie lang ist, sonst wäre es ja keine Langstrecke"🤣

[@Kylehikes47]

I've seen a lot of people have issues with the parking brake. I had to set mine to realistic. Have you ever experienced something similar?

[@A330Driver]

I never had issues with it, neither with simple, nor realistic. Reading through the PMDG forums, it seems that many people try to release the parking brake by clicking on the lever. That does not work, not in the plane, nor in the sim. Press the brake pedals to release the parking brake.

@@A330Driver Thank you for the info!

[@erickalonji4408]

​@@A330Driverthank you so much for this!!! Lol, also if you're using a Xbox controller for PC, how do I press the brakes peddals?

[@daveorr5858]

Again I picked up some useful info

[@captainphilip2236]

Can u do single engine taxi arrival next, please 😊

[@countryflyboy8255]

So the proper ground physics per SU15 were incorporated into this initial release of the 777W? I am patiently waiting on it for the 737 :)..

[@adrianubiaga5695]

Thank you for the video! My plane is not turning during taxi! My nose wheel is pointing forward all the time. I check the different options in the PMDG configuration in the FMC, but still not turning to be able to reach the holding point. However, I can see the tiller moving in the cockpit. Any idea? Thank you!

Just purchased it last night but it was too late for a flight. Will be starting out with a real-world domestic flight, KMIA-TJSJ and graduate to transatlantic.

[@A330Driver]

Let me know how you like it!

[@TheLowSnow]

Hey Emmanuel. Are you using any specific addons to make the AI traffic use/show addon aircraft (like the B738 on 8:34)?

[@shamsghandourah2670]

Need a link to ur manual please

[@A330Driver]

Hi, it's not released yet. I'll make a dedicated announcement and update the video descriptions, once it is out.

[@michaelchenal5288]

as most of 777 suitable airport are big ones with long taxi ways c'd we increase the ground speed to min 30 knots? What is the reason to limitate it to 25 knots? you're videos are always higly appreciated.

[@bennett_walters221]

Safety, tire wear, break wear, and regulations of course.

[@jrod_pilot_miami]

On a separate note, do the 777 and the A330 share similar speed management and oversteer on taxi?

[@A330Driver]

Yes, taxi-techniques are pretty similar between the two types.

[@yws152]

my nose wheel is locked unless I load a climb config

[@yws152]

any idea how to fix this?

[@A330Driver]

Please contact support, they should be able to help.
