I get pretty lax making these videos, hopefully I will start producing some more. I go in spurts...Thank you for the kind words.

With MSFS released and hopefully PMDG bringing their Boeing fleet over to the new sim, your sight will have new life! Great content and I hope you produce more videos and get a million subscriptions...you certainly deserve it, Thanks Captain

[@subsonicflighttraining]

I did not expect to get many views except from folks who want more detail of how to enjoy their sim experiences, so I was somewhat surprised when I have had pilots use this material to prep for transition to the 747. Thanks for being a subscriber...

There’s a option to get the irs alignment realistic and it takes 10 min to align it. Great video, I’m enjoying all of your videos a lot!

[@subsonicflighttraining]

Thanks Lucas, at the time of the video I couldn’t recall, since then I found it, so glad you are getting some knowledge out of my videos...

Capt, if I may ask, I'm a 747-400 enthusiast who has his PMDG QOTS 2 747-400 since February 2017. Why must one side of the electrical panel must be turned off in order for the combi or freighter model side door or both side door and nose door to open?

[@subsonicflighttraining]

APU 2 or EXT 2 must be Available (AVAIL, not ON) only in order to power the Main Deck Cargo Handling Bus. APU 1 or EXT 1 must be Available (AVAIL, not ON) to power the Ground Handling Bus. If you have 2 power sources on one side, like APU 2 ON and EXT 2 AVAIL, then that will keep the Main Deck Cargo Handling Bus powered...
