Quick FMC Guide 787-10 | Internal and External Flight Plans | Microsoft Flight Sim 2020

[@voorhees7796]

Everythings in m'y 787 does not working wy?

[@thejoshuatree6924]

Thanks for the clear video. However, autopilot heading does not work!! The push button cannot be operated. He stays on. I've tried everything, but the plane keeps flying straight ahead. Does anyone recognize this problem? I fly with the FS2020 on the Xbox seriesX, Turtlebeach Velocityone yoke.

[@flyingpedal]

Thanks for this video! FMC Legs of 787 disappear after selected SID....

[@JefftheJett13]

I use SimBrief myself and flying those overseas routes there are a lot of waypoints that are degree radial how and where do I input those in?

[@amb7247]

Anyone had it where their map or plan on the screen isn't working?

[@zachvoorhees777]

i sure do....part of the flight plan disappears

[@johnsoapmactavish23]

Hello, the plane does not go above 10.000 ft and suddenly falls to 0, please offer a solution.

[@irongoldx1]

how you go "direct to" to a waypoint on this fmc. thanks.

[@garyparata2885]

On the LEGS page select the waypoint into the scratchpad then click it into the current active waypoint then EXEC

[@sovietwizard1620]

It automatically does it for you, if you dont put the airway before the VOR point, it will automatically put it as direct

[@ApaceLp]

I've have looked around a lot but finally I found a good guide on this. Great video, thank you!

[@supersam787]

Is this fmc a mod for msfs? Or is it the standard one that comes with the game?

[@TheKingOfTheCubes92]

can u make a tutorial for landing

[@vedantdesai1]

Doesn’t VNAV override your manual Vspeed setting and forces the aircraft to follow the flight plan in terms of descent and ascent towards a waypoint? If so, then I don’t think so VNAV was an issue in the video

[@Dom-pl5og]

Are internal and external separate ways to do it?

[@grgryl]

Are you using the Standard Edition of FS? Does FS teach engine startup and FMC?

[@nuothe11th]

If you export your OFP as a PLN file on SimBrief and load it in FS2020 on the internal flight planning screen, will it auto-import to the 787 FMS correctly? I know this doesn't work for the A32NX (it has its OWN SimBrief integration that's even more automated) but this would be fantastic if it worked; i imagine you'd still need to put the SIDs/STARs in manually but this would make things a lot simpler and be able to jump right to Perf.

[@MOTISHOW]

i can't delete a discontinuity in the flight plan , it says "invlid entry"

[@neddygongora1246]

Hello I got a problem lol. I can't change the altitude it comes with 10000fts and even I move it, it doesn't change :( do you have any idea of what can be happening

[@paigashaona2331]

Small comment about FL vs altitude in Ft: FL is used for when you're above transition altitude -- When you use standard barometric pressure. In the US that's 18,000, or FL180. Below that point, you'd use altitude in feet or meters. Above, flight level.

[@PintoOnStandby]

Did not know that. Thanks for the info!

[@livefreeordie6863]

So does that mean below 18,000 you're consuming yogurt? And above FL 180 it magically turns into Sky Paste?

[@notkermitthefrog761]

Awesome vid man helped soooo much. THX

[@h3llr4iser1]

Thanks, this is actually quite well done. You deserve more views - just a technical note, the volume on the audio is kinda low and goes up/down a few times during the clip.

[@PintoOnStandby]

Thanks and I will try to get that fixed!

[@leko1782]

Is it not possible to go direct to a fix on the fms like in the real airplane?

[@uischirock]

hi, are you able to performa DCT? I mean a direct to one point of FP or gave from ATC out of FP?

[@sovietwizard1620]

What do you mean. DCT way you are getting from one VOR point to another. The A/P automatically knows the flight plan put into it and performs a Direct way from that VOR point to another. DCT just means that you aren't using an airway.

[@Obit8official]

@@sovietwizard1620 I think the question is another one. There is the ability to put a direct point to reach after ATC request you...when the ATC request you a direct I usually, on the A20N push the DIR button, choose the waypoint that the ATC told me and the AP override the flight plan until reaching that waypoint. Is possible on the 787 on MFS?

[@sovietwizard1620]

@@Obit8official Oh, I think IO just overcomplicated it ...

[@uischirock]

hi, is possible to perform a DIRECT to pint in FP? HOW?

[@JoseMunoz-tn4kv]

But i have a problem whit LNAV, the plane follow the fly plan, but the plane does not stabilize on the route and turns from one side to the other, and never stays in a straight position. Plis help

[@blizzard1646]

For my arrivals it says direct and automatic it won’t let me change anything

[@nuothe11th]

Also, flaps 15 is too much for T/O, that may have explained the early lift off, or perhaps your trim wasn't set (FMS should set the trim or tell you what to set it to, unless that's not simulated)

[@sovietwizard1620]

I think that thats not true. A lot of people think that flaps need to be 10 for takeoff, but thats not really the case. I searched it up, 15 flaps is the normal setting for the 787 takeoff. Same goes for the 747, on average-sized runways you use 15-20 flaps. Even though the normal setting for takeoffs with super long runways is 10 degrees, that doesn't mean that the pilot will do it, if they think that flaps 15 is good because of some reason, then they would put it.

[@sovietwizard1620]

Also I wanted to say the reason that it says 1.8% increase for the flight plan and its a curve so your assuming to be way longer than a normal DCT flight plan just to the airport. Well since the Earth is curved actually the smallest distance from those two points would be a curve on the flat map. And if you planned that route on a Globe, it would look straight even though you used the same flight plan that was curved on the 2d flat map. One other thing is that you mentioned 60 minutes reserve fuel is too much for a shorter flight. In my opinion that's not the case, your saying that if we lose too much fuel we can switch the reserves. Well we already calculated the fuel that we needed to get there. So in my opinion that reserve fuel should be used for Emergency, Diversion, or Large delays for landings (This happened to me once, landing in KSFO, too much rain and we had a landing delay of about 30 mins). Also Cost Index is given in the flight plan, you do not need to make a random number. If you look for CRZ SYS CI ____, I took a sneak peak, in that flight plan the Cost Index was 144. And the lag came from the SID that you put for the airport. You chose the SYE3 route for the SID, this happened to me when I put the JFK5 SID for departure. Any SID with 3 letters and a number creates lag, or at least for me, and you. And also I observed that the VR speed was very high 182 Knots. This is a glitch in MSFS where you need flaps activated (10 degrees), for the VR speed to calculate properly. I believe it calculated 182 knots as the 0 flap VR speed. I completely agree with you about not turning on VNAV for takeoff. This is because of the ATC giving you altitudes to climb to which you can put manually into the MCP. Once ATC gives you permission to climb the last leg to your cruising altitude, you can turn on VNAV because it follows the altitude set in the FMC. And also there's nothing you can do about the turning that is the simulators fault. If you want to align with the runway, you usually go full rudder pedals and align VERY slowly. This happened to me when I went too fast aligning with the runway, I don't align because I am too fast, I slow down, and I align. No Glitch. And aligning up w/ centerline really matters on takeoff, you need to be near exactly align for takeoff, this is to prevent going off the runway. And, this is VERY IMPORTANT. The reason you took off the plane so early is because you went full throttle. You cannot do this for takeoff, you usually go on TO/GA, and if the runway is long enough, a reduced thrust takeoff. I checked the VR speeds, its around 135 KIAS for the VR speed of the 787. Also, you were on 15 flaps instead of 10 flaps. Like I said before, you didn't hit the "V speeds" in the plane as showed by the attitude. Those speeds are set by the FMC which already screwed up the calculations before. If the correct VR speed was set by the FMC if MSFS wasn't glitched, the VR speed should have been around the speed you took off. I do not know this if this is true, because I fly the 747 in this simulator, I know nothing about the 787. But I think 900 feet AMSL is way too low to enable A/P. At least 1500 for me. This is usually so you can follow the SID and focus on that rather than focusing on Autopilot and ruining the point of following the SID. But like I said I fly the 747, not the 787. Also, 900 feet is too low because if you accidentally go low and then enable, the A/P isn't that sensitive and won't care if you are losing altitude, it will take its own sweet time going up while you are crashing. Of course this is still the pilots fault. Also 2600 IS WAYYY too much for vertical speed climbing, that amount is near almost always set for reducing altitude on landing. And like I said, the A/P will take its own time to go up and climb, you set the vertical speed because of this, while you were controlling the altitude, make sure you point the nose up and start at least 700 vertical speed before enabling A/P to prevent this from happening. But you are of course correct about the A/P prioritizing speed especially because you don't want to be above 250 knts below FL100, and also because Autopilot is autopilot. And usually when I enable A/P, I always turn on the IAS/MACH speed knob and set it to 235 KIAS or 240 KIAS, I don't think 250 KIAS is a good speed because you are supposed to be under 250 knots below FL100 even though the A/T takes that into account.

[@josskrifa]

A very good video one of the best up to now related to yhe dreamliner. I have a question, why did you start with the MSFS planner then moved to Simbrief. The other thing the Simbrif plan coukd be loaded while you are with MSFS Simbrief have alredy a format for MSFS 2020 , this being said I like what you do and have you in my list thank you.

[@PintoOnStandby]

Good to know!

[@FrankfurtAller.99]

Very nice video! This is what I was looking for. Thank you🤝

[@Loki_okay]

This is fun to watch and also helpful! And I´ve had pretty much the same issues with everything you had also :D

[@TomTheSiberianHusky]

I'm sure this tutorial is fantastic, but I can't fucking hear it.

[@aviatortrucker6198]

Yes that is an easy way to put the flight plan in. Here’s where the trouble starts. The flight plan is in it in your G 1000 you do your routines you takeoff and you fly everything is going good and you decide that you’ve had enough for the day so you save the file. When you re-open the file the next time you open Microsoft flight simulator you are at your altitude and heading and location however, there is no flight plan in the G1000. When you have the flight plan in the G 1000 there’s no selection to save it. You select menu and then the only active choice is to delete flight plan. There’s no way to store it. This makes it very difficult since you’re flying on an IFR flight plan that your aircraft no longer has a route to physically follow. The multifunction display shows the airplane with no routing. You’re still on your IFR flight plan because the ATC selection is to go and get vectors to your waypoint but yet there’s no waypoint listed. On that note there is also no altitude preset on your PFD anymore but the aircraft is still maintaining your last known altitude.. Any suggestions?

[@lukealucard]

nice video Mr, just remeber to engage flight directors so the ap follow ur lnav path

[@wolfisenpaii_4787]

Pc specs ?

[@tonymcflattie2450]

Fun fact, direct route is not the quickest. Need to find the most favorable winds

[@mohamadal-lathif6677]

mfs2020 got checklist.. so easy for me to startup the engine. without shortcut.

[@kennethdiels3921]

can you do a tutorial about ils landing with 787 ? that wil be awsome !

[@peterpinto2011]

pinto are you Portuguese

Great, that's the way I was used to doing it on the pmdg in fax but it didn't seem to work at the time
