PMDG B777 - ACARS Setup & Tutoral | VATSIM & MSFS 2020

[@GodfatherCZ1]

One important thing to mention - HOPPIE ACARS logon code expires after 120 days of inactivity .. so always check , if your profile is still active on their website . :) Otherwise you risk high stress level in your cockpit and blaming PMDG for CPDLC not working etc :) .

[@Easyjetsimpilot]

Didn't know this 🤣

[@GodfatherCZ1]

@@Easyjetsimpilot 🤣🤣 me neither

[@FBWFTW]

Found out out yesterday flying the Phoenix

[@DarrianCZE_YT]

It is however worth noting that you do not need to LOGON (that is a CPDLC feature) in order to get the PDC. You can request the PDC right away.

[@OrganAviator]

I sense that you’re starting to enjoy the 777? Great and informative video as always.

[@hansmartin663]

The APU PWR button in the elec field is the button to connect APU PWR to the elec system. If you push it and APU is not yet running, then the plane is smart enough to start up the APU and then connect it. A level of automation that neither Airbus nor Boeing has or even had given the age of the MD11!

[@FlytoInnsbruck]

thanks buddy, was totally usefull information :)

[@landingmission2203]

Can you do a video about how to calibrate the thrustmaster airbus tca? I can’t use the reverse

[@iako21]

Watch a video about the PMDG 737, throttles works the same.

[@fred2108]

Many thanks big help as always 😊

[@GG_Booboo]

Very useful information. Does this also work with offline flying (no VATSIM)

[@jdzzl]

Does this work for every controller or do we have to check if the controllers have a Hoppie logon code? Most in America I never see using Hoppie unfortunately, or do we always just connect to the current ground airport:? Also do we need to switch our logon facility everytime we transfer from tower, to approach freq, etc?

[@Youravgflightsimmer]

Hello, I’m a zla controller for ksan gnd, I can tell you that as of now, no one in the zla arttac talks about or uses hoppie(or atleast not that I know of), we were never trained to use or do anything over hoppie as we can already issue ACARS message through your vatsim client. Edit: this is only for American, I cannot speak for europe

[@tcfreak87]

Can you contact to Centers like this also?

[@soviet_salsa2983]

I wish more controllers used CPDLC in the US. I can rarely get online for long enough to use it in europe and Oceanic doesn't seem to like me as they always end up logging off by the time i get to them

[@Daniel-js8wc]

Yeah, I’m trying to wrap my head around why we haven’t gotten cpdlc. We have a faked system that just sends ACARS through vPilot which we use but not the same obviously

[@xplanestefano3767]

hello does ayones gsx work properly with the plane, mine dosent seem to be workig properly the cargo loader is way too high up any fix on this?

[@kevindavis8175]

Are you able to pull up ATIS with that system?

[@shanafernandes9611]

Will this come to the 737 ?

[@snaird4967]

Amazing video and thank you! I presume this only works with the PC version and not with MSFS on Xbox?

[@Easyjetsimpilot]

That's correct as ACARS are sent usually via VATSIM controllers.

[@haseenahmad7638]

I set flight plan with Simbrief EGKK to EGLL. I could log on to EGKK in MFD COMM ATC page. But my downlink request to EGKK for Departure Clearance is not working! I am confused. What should I do with VATSIM? Am I missing something? Please help. Regards, Haseen Ahmad.

[@CaptainAbir]

Thank you Sir ❤

[@Comedy3610]

I’m used to not logging on first but requesting clearance directly. Is this a difference with the 777? Have I been doing it wrong in the fenix?

[@Adam.Ciereszko]

where can I get hoppie id ?

[@MathijsKok]

Thanks!

[@Easyjetsimpilot]

No problem 👍

[@MYNYDD-MOTO]

do you actually need the hoppie acars client software for this to work or is it simply enter your hoppie id into the efb and off you go ?

[@Easyjetsimpilot]

You only need the hoppie ID, nothing else.

[@MYNYDD-MOTO]

@@Easyjetsimpilot thank you, I tried it the other night and couldn’t seem to get clearance in Dubai on vatsim,

[@southernhawk2661]

Will it work in xbox when it comes out?

[@hengst]

And the link be where ?

[@azsoftware]

Instead of route request, i have a data link button

[@flyboy747uk]

Is there any use of this system if you don't fly online?

[@DanielDuhon]

Not really, unless you have someone doing the other side of this for you

[@williamwidjaja850]

WHY FACILITY IS AGAIN EGKK

[@aadvantagegold5220]

That's CPDLC. ACARS is not yet simulated.

[@Easyjetsimpilot]

True, however, people use the HOPPIES ACARS system (which is used to perform CPDLC between aircraft and ATC) hence the video title so people can search for it easier.

[@managed9348]

Wish US stations would use this more, literally only experience this in EU airspaces

[@gillik7801]

There are some problems soundwise on this aircraft currently: 1- Engine sounds are generally disliked by the community including me and I hope they would improve it. 2- Whenever there is a single door open on the plane the whole outside noises can be heard as if you would do in external view from the cockpit and its really unrealistic. 3- Most sound effects (mostly stuff you can move like the chairs arm support, the thing you move to the left on the windows) they cut off way too quick or so late that you even hear background noises of the recording they made. If PMDG somehow manages to update the aircraft to make the sound quality as good as what fenix did to their a320 this plane would be 10/10 for me. Also does anyone know if GSX is going to do a fully update on this aircraft? My cargos are clipping right through the aircraft

[@Ikaavp]

Why my park brake won’t relaeased ?

[@Easyjetsimpilot]

You need to press the pedal brakes down at the same time are releasing and setting the parking brake.

[@pilotpawanc]

Gav that's a nice video. Why don't you do giveaways of couple of these....so that ppl like me can try their luck 😊

[@ari_zo2864]

where can i get my hoppie id?
