I am not a fan of the big planes but this series may get me to try them again. I love the focus (magnify) windows you use to show what you are manipulating. Too many tutorials just say click this this and this and one is lost on what they are doing. Maybe you should get your drunk Scot friend to be your F/O? On second thought, maybe not. :) I am enjoying this. I hope you continue the series.
Brilliant Code! I will indeed make more videos on flying the 737! I've a lot to figure out until then! But don't worry well learn together! ;;;)))
Dude I have watched 100s of videos of FMC and other instruments explaining how you make a flight plan and how you take off and land but this is the most simplest video I have seen so far.. things I have learnt from this vid was never explained in other vid .. I have just subscribed your channel I will look forward for detailed videos about in flight instruments. Please continue to make such videos for the beginners like me. Cheers!
At last...a decent tutorial showing every button push, not just assuming that ppl can follow a little white arrow on the screen. well done
Perfect level for me as a newb. So glad I found this among the "cold and dark let's press every button" tutorials. Thanks!
Absolutely great tutorial. I've been trying to understand navigation for the past few weeks and many videos on here seem to only partially highlight areas... I now understand what SIDS and STARs are but most of all I nearly have full knowledge of the FMC for this particular plane all from one video where other uploaders leave me asking more questions, great work.
I think I'm learning backwards though because I already know about waas, vpl and raims etc and the accuracy of each system
Thanks for this, its really helped to start to demisitfy the FMC and why I have been having issues. No more constant reseting alts and speeds, just don't forget to alter them when you REALLY need to.
Brilliant David, I'm glad it helped. : )
Brilliant bit of instructing, even me, an idiot will be having a bash tomorrow! Thank you so much for making it interesting & easy to follow.
I'm delighted you found the video useful Roy! Thanks for commenting! : )
I'll never fly these big jets, I just come for the great craic. Keep it up. Highly entertaining, especially the response to the shite adverts. No one says it quite like the Irish 👍😀
A helpful video for newbies.
For anyone who stuffs the programming right up you can reset the FMC by clicking and holding the Menu button down for about 3 seconds. This has to be done on the FMC within the cockpit, it will not work with WebFMC on a different screen. And yes, both FD's to on for an auto landing.
Thanks so much for the tips Trevs! Keep them coming! : )
i would like to see a video on how to set up my controls for airliners. I still have a bit of a problem setting up reversers, speedbrakes, etc., and would love to see more detailed tutorials on actually LANDING these big birds. There's many times where I complete a nice trip and have the fmc programmed and i get flustered and don't get slowed down correctly or I slide off the runway because I missed the speed brakes and reversers, etc...
Ok that sounds like a good video, I'll do something on that! Thanks Jason! : )
I don’t know if it’s in your budget, but I’ve done PC simming for a long time without a throttle quadrant but finally got one and I’m glad I did.The one from CH products has six levers and I run two for throttles, two for reverse. Some will program the other two for flaps and speed brakes but I use joystick buttons for those, just preference I guess.
I also have found that a second joystick with twist controls makes a great nose wheel steering tiller. My secondary joystick, a Saitek unit, has dual throttles but I’ve set them to be left and right brakes, and that’s actually been a big help since my rudder pedals don’t have brake activation. They’re strictly rudder.
Also, sometimes you can find some good deals on second-hand stuff that’s still pretty workable.
@@t.s.thomas02 yes! I have that one, and it does the trick. I'm eagerly awaiting the new one from Honeycomb, though, along with its' airbus mod. It looks fantastic and includes an AP module...
Easy to understand, simple, straight forward explanation! Will set up flight-sim. Thanks!
RR i like the focus circles that you put in the videos to highlight things. Good job!
Glad you like them Edwin, they make it so much easer to point things out! : )
A fantastic introduction to the FMC. I am a complete noob, and I can see that your videos will be essential viewing to learn the jets when FS2020 is released. Please keep them coming! Thanks.
Not a bad job flying it considering you’ve pretty much had to train yourself! If I may offer this for the benefit of the viewers: Your descent may be earlier or later than that green T/D point. -You may spin that new lower altitude in the Mode Control Panel window and press either VNav or Flt Lvl Ch and it will go down in the descent assuming you put a lower altitude in. (If for whatever reason you put in a higher altitude, it should climb to that altitude).
-That speed window is dark or “blanked” because Vnav is scheduling it, but it can be such that it’s flying its own schedule and that MAY not be what you want, so I believe if you press it, you could roll your mouse wheel and spin in the speed you want. That way you would’ve been able to get those flaps out without having to disconnect the autopilot.
-Good technique would be go ahead and select that APPCH button before the pink diamonds are centered up. What that will do is “arm” the system, or in other words, get it set to “capture” the horizontal localizer and the vertical glide slope. It will save you from missing it, I promise.
I have friends who've done it! (wink wink)
-Good and very realistic technique would be to select the Vref plus about a 5kt extra margin at about 2000 ft above the airport, coming down the glide slope, immediately hit G to get the landing gear coming down, then start selecting those flaps down as soon as you can in compliance with the flap speed limitations. That way, you’ll meet the requirement that the real planes seem to do with having gear, flaps and speed all set by 1000 ft above the landing zone. (I think this is the area you were referring to as the mistake to catch on the final approach.)
-Put the missed approach altitude, whether it be 2,500 or 3,500 or whatever is in the approach chart, in that altitude window after glide slope capture, but before 1,000 ft above the landing. Then, if you do have to go around/missed approach, hit TOGA and your autopilot will level off at that altitude automatically.
Again, good job. I’d like people to not be too intimidated about the autoflight system in these sims. Hope that helps any newbies. I enjoyed the video.
Thank you. I had suspected what some of the buttons were on an FMC, and you confirmed it, and showed me more.
Glad I could help Dale!
I liked this!! Just what I needed , a clear, simple and understandable explanation that gets me started. Thanks so much
Best damn video on FMC setup I've seen so far, and I have seen quite a lot. Thank you so much.
Greetings Gripper. Thanks for your video and the time you have put in to create it. It was extremely helpful and easy to follow. I have avoided using the FMC it in the past as it was just too confusing. Starting to understand it, thanks!
Glad it was helpful Roland! I'm delighted I didn't make a balls of the Tutorial! Let me know how you get on. : )
I'd set aside this evening to learn the FMC. It's like you knew...
I suspect your powered USB hub is the cause of your controller issue. Plug direct into the PC if you can & test the response
Will do Stuart! Thanks for the Tip! Let me know how you get on with the tutorial. : )
@@GripperSim I started badly. Many ALT-TAB's later I arrived over Dublin Airport at FL200. I missed the altitude bug too! I wish I could say I arrived over Dublin but since updating to 11.50-b9 that (default) scenery area is gone, so it was an just airport in the sea. Didn't bother with landing there so next time I'll see how much I've learned by trying to fly between 2 airports in the UK, where I have OrbX scenery.
This was great, exactly the tutorial I needed, the others are all way over my head
Brilliant Romduda, I'm delighted you enjoyed it! : )
You can carry out an autopilot Cat 3 landing right onto the runway by selecting the first officer CMD button and thereby using both two channels (redundancy on one). A white “flare” & “rollout” will appear in the MCP to confirm the landing mode. 👍👌
I use the "Little Navmap" freeware program to create flight plan from X-plane data and then save it for the aircraft I am going to fly. For example if I want to fly Zibo then I need to save this flight plan as *.fms. Then only thing I need to do is to use the co-route option in the FMS to load that flight plan. Thank you for the video.
Yes, it appears there are many way to add a flight plan. Thanks for the tip Arctic. : )
Great video, I'm going to give it a go this evening, at last I may be able to fly using AP and FMC and not get teasy when it doesn't work. Thanks GS look forward to more tutorials, Great job!!! Regards Mike
You can do it Jardine! It takes a bit to figure it out, but once you have a general idea, the rewords are great! Let me know how you get on with it. : )
Thanks, i will have to re watch this a couple of more times. I really like flying the smaller gen aviation stuff. There is just a lot to take in on the larger planes. I want to learn and these will definitely help. Not too complicated instruction. Most just go through so fast and they don’t show what they are looking at or adjusting. I have subscribed to the channel and will be watching. Also now that MSFS 2020 has been announced you know that you are going to have to make the transition and hopefully most of this will transfer to the new sim. Thanks
I am 1 week into flying tutorial in xplane. This is the best tutorial i have come across and i have spent many many hours searching. Thank you.
Glad it helped Lwewy! : )
Looking forward to the next episode.
Thanks Sean!
I'm sure you're David O'Doherty lol. I like to think that because you sound like him and its always something to look forward to when you release a vid.
Most excellent sir. Thank you, and I'm looking forward to learning more from all your work.
Awesome, thank you John! I hope it helps. ; )
Thanks again Gripper. Have finally made my first airliner flight. Took me forever, couldn’t understand why it failed before the arrival. I had typed LATMO on my crib sheet instead of LAPMO. Don’t ever let me near a real aircraft! Oh, and found a setting in the EFB to change the pressure settings to HPA & save it!
Nice work! I'm delighted the tutorial helped you Roy!! Brilliant! : )
I've been searching for these kind of basic but really informative videos! Thank you!
Ha! First to like... Don't know why that's fun. But I'm glad you did this video! It's nice to de-mystify aircraft systems.
Brilliant Ron! You are indeed the first! I'm delighted it helped! : )
Really great video. Thank you...never mind the speed thing I enjoyed learning what happens when auto throttle is left on. 😀
I loved it. That will be very helpful. I am going to try it this evening. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
You got this! ;;;))) Let me know how you got on Wiga80!
Tutorials for Newbies. the best news since sliced bread.cheers
Great video, please do more on the 737 - most people seem to enjoy basking in the complexity rather than attempting to simplify it.
Thanks, will do!
Great tutorial and very well explained. I have the same problem with the yoke and throttle with the zibo mod. To stop them dancing around I calibrate them again in X-plane after the aircraft loads up.
Thanks for the info Dan! Keep it coming!
I'm delighted you enjoyed the tutorial. More to come! : )
That was brilliant! Would be great to see you do a comparison with FS2020, it seems a bit different when watching the 737 pilot doing it. 2 days in but I'm guessing you left the speed setting locked at 171KTS. Would love to see you getting more likes etc why don't you consider a live stream on UA-cam.
Great video as per usual. As suggested a start up from cold and dark would be great as well.
Noted and yes Ryan! I agree.... More study for me so!
I'll get to it in the next weeks! : )
Definitely want to learn these as I am using onair company in X-Plane and it's also in beta testing for msfs 2020.
After takeoff put the throttle at max or idle, that will fix the flickering
Sorry i mean when you have engage the autopilot
Thanks John, I'll try that! Brilliant! : )
Massive thanks mate!! Great video as always and very insightful for beginners like me :)
Glad to hear I Graham! I'm delighted it helped and made sense! Thanks for letting me know. : )
If you press the 2nd CMD auto pilot button it will land automatically - all you need to do is arm the speed break and control the speed. Then off the reverse thrusts at 70 knots when landed.
Great video. Simple but very important information. Took me 5 months to learn the PMDG 737.
@Mersey Blues I didn't think I could feel worse (lost, dumb) until I read your comment. Zaine = Sad
Thank you for the video, it was most helpful to me, a beginner, and I found it very interesting. I very much look forward to your other vids for beginners - thank you
Glad it was helpful John! : )
Really good thanks. I do have Nivigraph and use it with Garmin instruments but never used the mysterious FMC... Surprised you weren't told off by the Manchester controller for staying on the runway line up for so long....
Ha haa! Brilliant Cyril! Let me know how it worked for you. ; )
Keep up the good work. Learning along side you THANKS
Glad to hear it Ralph! We shall learn together!! : )
Great video thanks a breath of fresh air - really enjoyed your enthusiasm, keep up the great work.
Thanks so much!
Excellent i loved it, let's have more please
Thanks a lot for this video. Looking forward to next one.
You bet Dutch!
Good stuff. Perfect for beginners. VFR tutorial for beginners would be great too. Edit: never mind, just found out you did it.
Cool, thanks!
Truly you are a Flight Instructor. Thank you for explaining this to us newbies!
Glad it was helpful Victor! More to come on this! : )
Great video! Thanks for sharing it!
Great simple video helping me to de-mystify the FMC, thanks for uploading
Glad it was helpful Mikadoman!
Fantastic! You are very encouraging. I may just try this tomorrow. Moar plz!
Good Job mate!!!! Hell with those mistakes... it's just routine. Cheers!
I realize I am kind of off topic but does anyone know a good place to stream new tv shows online ?
@Castiel Gregory i would suggest Flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Kendrick Jadiel Definitely, been using flixzone for months myself :D
@Kendrick Jadiel Thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service :D Appreciate it !
@Castiel Gregory Happy to help :)
I am a total newbie here, but for what it is worth, when you had a single channel on the approach, you need to engage autopilot A and B - required for a cat III landing - I think!
I think you are correct Noel, again this is another thing I'll need to figure out. : )
Great video...keep em coming....👍☘
Thanks your video helps !
Glad it helped Rav! : )
Can you please please show us how to engage reverse thrust and actually show the throttle quadrant when doing it? That would be very helpful. I've seen umpteen videos with sim pilots landing the 737, but not one of them would show the actual throttle quadrant to show us how to do it.
Did something just as stupid doing this for myself. Got it nicely on the glideslope but forgot to turn the autothrottle off.
"I'm 100 feet off the ground why are my engines revving up?"
Excellent video. Is there capability in Navigraph to download the flight plan into the FMC / Avitab?
Yes, I believe so Harold. Its easy to install. : )
Sorry mate you've made a mistake. You put the GW in the ZFW box so now your FMC thinks your GW is 66t and therefore will give you wrong speeds. The actual GW is 54.3t. Rule of thumb V2 is 80+ GW so in this case 134kts.
Dear R&R,
I've now watched the whole video and I do really like your enthousiasm, but bro there is a long way to go. I'll point out a few items to you not to burn you down, but to help you getting to grips with the 737.
Before TO
Set the autobrakes to RTO (in case you have to stop at high speeds the brakes will automatically start max braking in order to stop on the runway) Trigger point is 90kts groundspeed. Below that it won't do a thing.
Set V2 in the airspeed window on the MCP. The FCC will climb out at V2+20 either following the F/D or the Autopilot (AP).
Set the first hard altitude in the altitude window on the MCP (in your case 5000ft). If you forgot to arm VNAV and you set the AP on the aircraft will climb to the altitude set in the window. That case you will bust the 5000ft. ATC will be a bit annoyed by that.
Don't use the speedbrakes that much. Yes in the descent the airplane went a bit fast, but not to much. You will need to set the descent winds in the FMC if that is possible with this simulator. You can find that in the descent page then forecast. Set the altitude where you happen to know the wind (we use FL310 FL200 and FL100) and fill in the winds. Also the QNH can be set there.
When getting close to the airport you need to select a lower speed yourself in the airspeed window on the MCP otherwise the thrustlevers will try to maintain the set speed.
Good habit is to arrive at the localizer with flaps 5 and correct speed. At GlideSlope intercept Gear Down, Flaps 15, arm the speedbrake and set the speed to the correct speed for the flaps. At 1500ft above field set the landing flaps and reduce speed to Vref + Wind Correction. Landing checklist.
Hope this will help you. When you have more questions let me know.
Very good video did the Auto pilot land the plane as well?
I disconnected the autopilot about a mile out Nick. : )
Best tutorial ever
Thanks this is good. To practice FMS should I buy FS2020 or Xplane11?
How does the FMC know what V1 is before entering the runway (the length of it)?
Or did i missed a step before? Have all runways at an airport always the same length? (#nonNativeEnglishSpeakerHere)
This helped me alot!
However, on landing and ils, my plane is WAY to high and i have to go around.
Very good info
ASMIM 1S was the only thing that confused me, where did you get that detail from ?
ive always wanted to learn this, but after seeing the IFR for MSFS 2020 easy FMC i will not bother now.
How about doing a navigraph flight plan tutorial. GREAT!
For me with A/T on, and the throttle full, it kept speeding up and slowing down so I ended up closing the throttle and it sorted it out 🤷♂️
Thanks Tim! That works! I'll spread the work. Nice one!
Thank you.
Funny, my FMC doesn't look like yours. I do have a subscription from Navigraph. I do not see FMC nor ACARS, No POS INT etc... what am I doing wrong?
Good but too fast with commentary. Forgot to engage spoilers on landing. You just said "reverse thrust" how? where is it?
Hello, can you give info of the B737 addon? Will be compatible for MFS 2020? Greetings from Mexico.
Hi Elpiloto, The 737 shown here is the free add-on (ZiboMod) for X-Plane 11. FS2020 will most certainly have it after release some time. Hope this helps. : )
Reaction Review Thank You!! And the last question could be how will be the controls to use the FMC and everything else on XBOX, cause is the first time I’m planning to use MFS without a computer.
What FPS do you get with the settings in your description?
Bumping up the flight models per frame can address some fluttering and glitches.
Interesting, I'll try that, thanks Mark! : )
at first I thought great, but then you introduced Navigraph. what about those running the out of date FMC. More searching sadly for manual to use out of date standard version.
Hay Ron, I'll do a standard version without updated data at some point. Thanks for the feedback. : )
@@GripperSim That would be fantastic, because your teaching and explanation skills are the best I have seen. I just got lost once you introduced Navigraph.
If you please can you tell me what's the name of that program?
If you did not disconnect the auto pilot what would happen? Can't the autopilot land the plane?
Yes, there is a feature on the 737 called auto land. But that's for another tutorial. In the case of this video, it would have brought me down the ILS, but I had to do a few bits with the autopilot. : )
@@GripperSim Cool what about auto takeoff?
Is there a feature for that?
just the ticket for me , a complete newbie, now comes how too start my engine ??
Ye, I'll do a video on the startup in the coming weeks G4. : )
any chance you can do a update it different now.
....yeah...lost........😢..but subscribed ..😊
Love the video, but try use PMDG aircraft
Thanks Galloway, but no PMDG 737 or 747 for X-Plane..... yet...
Very useful, thanks!
Do you know if the default 737 will be able to do this if I update the database? I'm unable to run the Zibo at more than about 2 FPS!
Mark Rice the default 737 has a simplified fmc, but you can do a blanket update of your nav data for all aircraft.
@@kalynstalinski8375 thanks there Kalyn. How would a noob go about this, preferably for free 😂
Yes, the default 737 will work also. The problem is guys you have to pay for the data, if anyone has any ideas on free data let us know!
My Toliss A321/ A319 both neo and ceo’s AP keeps disconnecting mid flight. Never done that before but it started doing that
Both in 11.41 and 11.50
Is it your controls I wonder?
How do you show the wing at 32:26
It's just a view with X-Plane 11, select your view, and select Ctrl-[NumPad] to save it. : )
UGH!!! GIVE ME MS2020 NOW 😭
I know, I know Edwin! If only MS2020 came out when all this lock-in stuff started! : )
your into audio is not balanced fren
I lost my focus 4-5 minutes into this so called "Newbies"-video. This has nothing to do with "Newbies" tutorial. You`r speedtalking, jumping back and forth. Before I can grasp what you just explained, you are already much further ahead. I´m sorry!
Hay Airport! I'll slow down in the next tutorial videos. Thanks for letting me know and contributing to the channel. Constructive criticism is always welcome here! : ). Cheers!
Irish lad
So wa? ;;;)))
