I extensively watched your 737 and A320 tutorial series and I had longed for a 777 tutorial. Looks like it's finally happening. Appreciate your work!

[@mayflynut]

You produced THE BEST 737 series. I must have watched them half a dozen times, Excellent work. Absolutely pleased to see you do the 777. Thank you Sir! Quality work. You should put up a support link. Would be happy to support your efforts. Thanks again for your generosity. I just bought the 777 on sale a d installed it this week. Lucky me on finding this video. .

[@skyblueflyer9366]

Good to see you back. Makes a change to see a proper technical tutorial. Looking forward to the next one!

[@danielconlon2388]

Your how to and walkthrough are the inspiration for me getting back to simming

[@julesn.8601]

Always a pleasure to see you back.

[@Dannyp010]

He is uploading again! Nice to see you back! Looking forward to more!

[@pallabkumarborahindia]

I've been waiting for 777 videos from you since ever. Thanks

[@weatherbog]

Nice to see you back.

[@roloduarte3100]

Very thorough explanation, thank you for this.

[@Azmythometre]

The legend is back again!

[@mremerge]

I was able to get the 737 up in the air and land because of you. Im sure your 777 guide will help me as well 👍👍

[@isaipena4372]

FINALLY!!! Thank you!

[@Aviator738]

Wow! I started learning 737 and A320 from you and i am very good on them. Now i will be master at 777 😁👍🏻

[@nimeshwimalasena]

Thank you Excellent explanation.

[@khaithacbay]

Well done and great job brother

[@alih555]

Just perfect

[@virtualaviator21156]

Thanks legend! u could create a 787 tutorial series :D

[@T0mmy_Fl0r3z]

Excellent back with the series! Wait you for 747 of PMDG and FSLabs A320!

[@CaptainJadenAR]

I don't think PMDG 747 is needed. The 777 and 747 share the same cockpit. Only the FMC and Thrust Levers are different.

[@Doofer911]

I'll do a 747 series, 4 engines means much more system complexity which will be fin to learn about (fuel, hydraulics and pressurisation)

[@CaptainJadenAR]

@@Doofer911, oh. Ok, sir.

[@jeffhiew5795]

Would be a great idea if there is a Telegram or Discord groupchat, so that sim pilots and aspiring pilots could share their knowledge and latest update on the 777 or 737 development. I’ve seen similar groupchat for the A320.

[@WayneM1961]

Great to see you back, I'm a massive fan of yours. Please could you do one on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner? I'm struggling to understand the complexity of its FMS. Hey, I hope you are still flying for real, keeping your PPL skills updated etc

[@Aviator738]

FMS is just same of 737 but it's more digital. Also for procedures, you can just watch 777 tutorials because it's %95 same.

[@WayneM1961]

@@Aviator738 Can't comment on the sim, but I do know in real life 787 pilots had to do considerable "type training" before flying the dreamliner

[@Aviator738]

@@WayneM1961 in sim, you do not need type rating for any aircraft so no worries.

[@Doofer911]

Yeah still flying for real :) slowly building hours. Trying to save up for a house at the same time as trying to fly! With regards to the 787, I'll probably do a series in the future but it's very similar to a 777. Real world pilots who are type rated on the 777 can also fly a 787 with some differences training.

[@WayneM1961]

@@Aviator738 Thanks for telling me I don't need FAA approval to play with my MFS 2020, I really needed to know I wasn't breaking any laws

[@22cheddar]

Anyone here for upcomming PMDg 777 for MSFS?

[@badrsalkani9809]

You teached me how to start a 737/800 pmdg and now you teaching me how to start a 777 pmdg thank you doofer911

[@CaptainJadenAR]

Sir, this is amazing. I have a question. How do you know that these switches work? Were you researching, or there was a documentation of it?

[@Aviator738]

You can search in the internet for FCTM (Flight Crew Training Manual), FCOM (Flight Crew Operating Manual)... etc. documents for any aircraft. From there, you can learn *everything* about your favourite aircraft. Not only for Boeings, you can also find documents for like A320.

[@CaptainJadenAR]

Boeing 737 Classic, ah. Kk, thanks :)

[@Doofer911]

There are several PDF documents which come with PMDG aircraft when you purchase them. They should be present within the PMDG folder in your flight sim folder on your computer.

[@CaptainJadenAR]

@@Doofer911, Oh. Ok, sir. Thanks :)

[@piloto2412]

How can i watch the other 2 videos? They are private. I just found your channel and im obsessed with it. Im become an airplane mechanic and then im gojng all the way with my pilot training. Thank you for all your info

[@Doofer911]

The next 2 videos are scheduled for Friday at 1900 British time and Sunday at 1900

[@Flightsimmovies]

cant wait for it to come to msfs. PMDG should do 787 too…l

[@sohankantimahanthi]

@Doofer911 could you also make a video on 777 freighter overhead panel

[@Doofer911]

Just had a quick look, There's very few switches which are different. Probably a couple of cargo fire switches and a couple of extra air conditioning switches. Don't think it's enough to make it's own video on I'm afraid.

[@sohankantimahanthi]

@@Doofer911 ok no worries thank you

[@chilledgamezone4950]

Can we do propellor flights around Inverness. I did a video of one on my channel. Credited to yourself too

[@jonesbutler4]

WOW, am I seeing THINGS I thwart I Taw a Doofer911 Vid ....... I Did I Did.....See A Doofer911 Vid... That Bad Old Putty Cat is Back. LOVING THE RETURN I hope you are well ..Please More Please.

People face issues with RAAS. sometimes when they don't understand that there is a free software called makerwys that needs to be run once in a while , they better can turn the RAAS off XD
