Thanks for the mention Froogle! And yes, the UK F/O voice is our very own Q400 Cadet student Ben Weston. He's moving up in the jet world...
Hi Froogle, thanks for the excellent FS2Crew video, I bought it the other day and tested it out from KBOS to KMIA and I have to say that it was amazing, I followed the tutorial on my second screen which told me exactly what to say and for 99% of the time it recognized my commands, having a First Officer doing what he would normally do does give added realism and I thoroughly enjoyed my flight, I would even go so far as to say that it is fs2crew's best product yet (having bought quite a few of their products).
I Love 777 FS2Crew, Specially with that Female Voice (US Accent). I call her Jennifer :D :D
Oh boy, lmao
FS2Crew is essential in my opinion. It is the way that the real aircraft is operated.
FS2Crew is definitely one of my "must-haves" for airliners. As much as I've enjoyed the PMDG 777 since it was released, it always felt like a piece was missing because I was so accustomed to having an FO sharing the duties. The only problem I ever have with FS2Crew is trying to remember the correct phraseology to use for different equipment when asking to have the external power connected or disconnected -- especially the NGX. I usually have to use the manual or a cheatsheet when I switch from one type to another.
Tip, When setting Trim open flight control panel like you have open when doing flight control testing, use the digital read out to set trim. Moves in .25.
I like the added immersion it brings but it is a very automated aircraft, love hand flying it up-to cruise and then approach.
It might start at 55 mins, but to push back it takes the same time as the ngx, you can skip a ton of time in the 777.
Being someone that only really fly's Jet Liners (A320 and B737), FS2Crew is an absolute must, in terms of the realism. Don't have the 777 as don't have time to complete long enough flights, but this as always looks very nice.
Great video, Pete! I was thinking about something.. I wish FS2Crew would make a version where you're the 1st Officer/copilot instead of the captain. This would make a lot more sense in a professional training enviroment.
Hi Froogle, I've gotten away from flying for a bit but do enjoy your videos. All nicely done, as usual. Keep 'em coming. Thanks.
Was very surprised to see you do this specific flight, Froogle. I did SV554 back in Oct of 2009 for a weekend holiday with my dad in Dubai. KKIA isn't a very well known airport so I'm quite surprised to the fact you chose to fly from there. I spent half my life living in Riyadh too haha.
Would just like to point out a few things though. OERK has two runways. However, the west runway (33L/15R) is used for VIP movement only, unless the main runway (33R/15L) is closed, usually for maintenance. My dad, who has recently become the former Chief Fire Rescue Officer at the airport, handled the Lufthansa Cargo crash there back in 2010, which is another reason why the runway would be closed and the VIP runway would be opened to traffic, but in most circumstances, 33R/15L is the runway you should use, if you ever decide to fly to Riyadh in the sim again :P
Another thing, not too serious, is that you used the callsign SAV instead of SVA. Simple mistake haha.
Other than that, great video. Enjoyed watching the first part to FS2Crew's PMDG 777 addon and can't wait to watch the rest.

Hi I didn't get fscrew just bought the PMDG 777-200/300. GOT A PROBLEM. THERE ARE NO GROUND service veicals. When I use pushback the aircraft goes back but no vehicles can be seen. Also the large cargo doors doesn't open. How do you fix this problem?
zszs100 The PMDG 777 doesn't come with ground service vehicles. You need to purchase GSX or AES
*****
Please help me on this problem. I bought both the pmdg 777 and aerosoft a320. is it possible that my RAAS for pmdg 777 can conflict with the RAAS on the aerosoft a320? Cuz when I approach a runway, it doesn't tell me what runway im approaching. HOWEVER if I load the aircraft onto an active runway, it tells me what runway im on. BUT if I TAXI onto a runway for takeoff, it doesn't tell me what runway I am on. What could be the problem? ALSO WHAT IS the correct way to find out what star to use on approach to runway? I use the freeware route finder. I see a lot of stars in FMC but don't know which on to use.
I've always avoided products like FS2Crew... until I saw your Airbus Fully Loaded series. Not only did I shoot off and buy the Airbus (great product) but also FS2Crew. I can't imagine flying without it now.
A more detailed video on PFPX and Tomcat would be great.
how do you open the main FS2CREW panel at the start of a flight?
Most certainly worth it! I've been using it for a few days now and it's really a great tool; however I'm not a fan of the size, I think the size of the Fs2Crew panel in the NGX and Airbus is better for flying compared to the 777 panel being much larger.
Very very nice video Froogle! Well that's just same old from you, sir! Haha...and yes! ;That PFPX/TOPCAT video, as you mentioned would be a real treat (that's my Halloween treat of you already :P)!
Keep up the fantastic work, and "as always,"

When starting up an engine turn the start knob and watch the engine gauge raise slightly then add the fuel
Best fs2crew pmdg 777 video
Does fs2 turn off the cabin lights and switch them on when needed?
I love FS2Crew and have purchased all of the versions of it over the years. I don't even like flying an aircraft without it, although I will because some aircraft that don't have it, are still just too good to ignore.
I also agree with another poster that I don't really care for the way that they got rid of the config panel. I thought it was much more intuitive and time saving to use the separate config panel. Hopefully Bryan will bring it back in the future.
Captian Froogle, once again successful flight. Where ... ? I can find the button for the panel light test and the terrain test.
To be honest, as cool as it is, I prefer the button control version for my NGX since I don't want to concentrate on muting/unmuting the mike, and making sure it recognized my voice properly during critical phases of flight. Now, shared cockpit would be a whole different story!
Great video! This is (and has been for a while) my favorite channel on UA-cam.
My opinion to your question at the end: I think FS2crew is essential. PMDG simulates all these systems so much into detail... why not use it as in real world.
Awesome vid as we come to expect from Froogle, yes i second the PFPX/Topcat vid preferably based around the 300.
Great video froogle cant wait for part 2!
I wanted to ask about the route that you load? How did you get it to load and from where?
Great video, but the transponder should be on while taxiing since most airports have ground monitoring. I have 777 experience and the transponder gets turned on while taxiing. That's just a though Fs2crew could change in any future updates
Definitely essential! I have even been putting off flying my 777 at all until fs2crew got released because as you said managing this AC on your own is highly unrealistic!
As always, thanks for the great Video!
True, and ever certified pilot has to prove he can do it on his own, but for me it's immersion breaking for normal operations.
Hey froogle,
great video :D
Could you pls do a video in which you show how to bring PFPX and Active SKY Next together, as you did it in this video with all wind and route uplink things ?
thank you so much loved it
a very good flight frogle keep up the good work
I want to see the video of the derated take-off you mentioned on the PER-INIT page of this video, thanks! amazing video.
I would be very excited about a video with the Full Beginners Guide of the 777. PS: I have the FS2Crew for Airbus X Extended. Which Button Do I have to press for the FS2Crew Bar popping up? I dont have the Bar there :-/
Thanks,
Greetings from Germany!
Awesome video as always Froogle! Cannot wait for Part 2 and watch you do the RNAV approach and landing. I was doing it last night into PHNL on RWY 08R and I think I messed up a bit lol..one question tho, have you done a video on ETOPS? If not, can you do one in the T7? I'm a little confused on how to set that up..I also use PFPX..cheers!
Hi froogle I love your videos keep up the good work
I like how your voice goes darker when you talk to your first officer :P
Good job Pete!
Yay! Finally! I've been looking forward to watching this :D
@froogle u will be surprised emirates operates A380 from Dubai to Kuwait.. really a short flight jst 90 mins :D... and a crew member once said it is really a challenge for us to feed all those people in such small time
Nice one froogle, again:) I'm now considering to buy FS2CREW for the T7! But first i need to set my language to UK instead of Dutch:)
Great video Froogle; I also would like to see more video on PFPX / Topcat. Could you cover how you manage the Topcat Landing data process when on descent ready for approach?
Thanks,
The removal of a dedicated config panel in favour of this new system is baffling to me. Who thought that it would be a good idea to model configuration of this complex program along the lines of a VCR?
Rather than one click, view a panel, check the settings, click once or twice more to change settings, you're now clicking once just to scroll through every page of the config. How is that progress? Did I enter a timewarp back to the 90s?
Was thinking the exact same thing. why fix what's not broken?
this is just a totally what if Question, but what would your confidence level be Froogle, actually having to commandeer this aircraft in reality? your videos are very thorough and i love watching them. is it more of a learning the actually systems or just button clicking memorization, im not questioning your dedication to fully learning these sims just curious as to your view on if it would be possible in your mind to pilot such aircraft you have simmed, specifically jet aircraft. (No Doubt you'd Excel in the cessna)
Thanks In Advance
Cheers.
We NEED FS2Crew for X Plane!
Gate2Gate Aviation Wouldn't that be awesome.
Very helpful merci Froogle
Cool video as always ! Waiting for part two
Froogle whats up man!!! love the ezdok setting you have set up mind sharing them with me!! thanks keep the great videos coming
I think you can POS INIT from page one LSKR4 it's the same
Another marvellous video.........
Loved it keep up the good job.....and please do more 777 videos..
Hey froogle. Nice vid! Btw, you can move the green bar so u don't always accidentally click it ;) keep up the great work!
Anyone know when Topcat will have support the 777-300ER?
Whoa froogle u did the same flight i do. I really appreciate your work and thanks for doing a video with the saudia liver (but i am not a saudi) anyway thanks
Howdy.. Noticed you did this awhile ago... Never used the beam arc departure...
Noticed that you manualy flew the path and then hit AP? Could you clarify?
Thanks you.. Great Vidi....
How do you move around outside with Ezdok, what is your settings?
how did you get the runway scratches and the "bumpy sound" takeoff roll?
ok dumb question is this a test for fsx 2015 cause i just watched a video it seemed different
What state is the plane in at the start? How did you get it to that state? Thanks!
Hey Froogle, I'm Saudi btw, I really like your videos and you helped me allot with the 777. For your info, Saudia's call sign is SVA not SAV! It's ok though :)
thanks
Thank you
There is scenery for king Khalid available now.
Great vid
first of all cracking video MR FROOGLE and cracking bit of kit by FS2CREW
now then after landing/vacating the aircraft just powers back down to idle and im unable to power up or move its like the brakes have melted on (but they haven't and just to make sure i did brakes and Tyre changes whilst stuck ) its happens every time i use the fs2crew with the PMDG T7 maybe just a small bug im encountering BUT i know for certain the aircraft doesnt park on the runway lol
any advice or anyone having similar problem
thanks
Hey Froogle,
Very nice video (as ever ;))
Your FPS are soo pretty smooth - awesome! ^^
Wish, I'd have a FSX and a PC like you.. :/
The 777-Sound is very realistic in this vid..
That's nice..
Like in a real TripleSeven! :)
Froogle for your information there is no SID proc in Saudi Arabia always Runway heading take off ;)
***** ummm ok. Guess the published charts are making stuff up then. My bad.
thanks you very much :) i will order FS2CREW for 777 but i wait at the same time PMDG 777 on Prepar3D before the end of the year :)
Which addons do you use?
How you can get the fs2crew box after start the flight please I need fast answer and thx..
Great video and very informative, are you using the Captains set or voice & button?
can you recommend a good quality mic for use with this program?
Thanks and keep em coming
Froogle. I use FDC is FS2CREW much better than FDC? I've been kinda looking around for something eles but what I've found I can add the in flight saftey video for Delta so when i start taxing it has the sound of the video ofcouse does this have that in there that I can add my own safety video?
Very helpful..thanks... Much to learn
Hey there froogle
I think froogle should fly online with a shared cockpit.
Great video Froogle, absolutely help me to understand more the program and your tutorial on simbrief to help me upload the flight plan into the FMC was right on the money, thank you makes a whole world of difference. Only difficulty was to follow it since the website appears to have an upgrade and did not matched the navigation on the video posted. Got 3 question for you, hope you can advise; I am on the search to get my system to operate near but not exact like the system (visual smoothness) to the video..#1 would you be able recommend me what would I need to acquire for my system to run like such smoothness and realism of all objects motion (mines delays or skips) or I must consult a tech support if #2..Is tehre a quick solution when getting a "SDK Error" on the fs2 Crew panel window..and #3. Is there a quick solution to be able to set the fs2 crew panel minimized to fixed it to preference view? this would go for the cockpit front panel view as seen on your the video??..not able to zoom out without pressing on the space bar and slide L or R??
I'd like to se that topcat/PFPX video! :)
Thank you Froogle i click on it but it wont open do you have any Ideal Recommendation to fix
Ooooh Froogle once again I watch a frooglesim vid and am tempted to spend more cash :) One question for me would be how does it affect VAS usage? Is it a significant change or not noticeable?
rondon9897 DIdn't notice a jump
Can you do a video on TOPCAT and PFPX?
any one had gsx config for 772 i had issues with with gsx that doesnt recall some doors
I entered the comp if I win how do you get the prize
how do you get your views to switch like that ?? 10.34
good. you have to reduce the thrust on takeoff. you were climbing like a rocket. :)
Baraquiel López Thrust is reduced at the Thrust Reduction altitude - hence the programmable callouts in FS2Crew for that.
Yes. I manually adjust the thrust at takeoff so I don't climb at 5000 fpm. I think that the passengers aren't enjoying the flight. The 777 has the capacity to climb very fast. It is only a tip. Have a good day.
Yes you do feel when the aircraft is climbing and descending very fast, i have feel it. i think there are rules for touchdown rate.
barritademiel13
It's a light airplane today... I used to work for Emirates as a FA and some years ago, as a result of incident, Boeing prohibited the use of reduced take off thrust due to some software problem they had to fix. During a couple weeks, no matter how light the aircraft was, it was always full thrust for take off. On those (painfully early moring) short turnarounds with the 772 and 77W, the climb attitudes were ridiculous.
Looks interesting, but to me talking to a computer to tell him to do a checklist seems a bit stupid, even more so when I could do it myself in half the time. I'd only like having this for being able to hand-fly "properly" and not having to release my hands from the controls when I wanted to turn on the landing light or something like that.
+jibeneyto It's actually real world procedure for the PF to call out the checklist and the PM to read it back.
I know. But in the real world you talk to another person. The point is the computer/person distinction, not whether the checklist has to be done or not.
Well if you're going down that road, then consider you're also flying a computer aircraft and not a real one.
I see the future in shared virtual cockpits. Two people flying the same aircraft at separate computers. You can do this with some aircraft like the Leonardo MD80. I'm hoping this spreads to more and more aircraft!
I totally agree on that. Like VATSIM/IVAO vs. virtual ATC. There is no comparison. Yet I'd still rather have a virtual F/O than none at all. Ever since I tried FS2crew I can't go back. Not even with the Aerosoft Airbus, which already comes with a basic crew-system, but the experience is at another level with Fs2crew. But I'm also looking forward for shared VC's to become part of the Flightsim Community like online ATC. And then flying with the combination of both.
Hey Froogle, i just purchased fs2crew for both pmdg jets, and watched your pmdg777 video. Where did you get your passenger sounds and safety demo?
On the right end of the fs2crew bar are two black knobs. turn the right most one to the right to increase cabin volume
Can i have your ezdok profile for pmdg 777, please sir!
Very nice, yes FS2Crew is always essential!
Did you use Mogwaisoft shader? and REX4?
Btw, I think FA means Flight Attendants ;)
***** Yeah it was recorded at 3am and I had a brain fart. Yes Rex texture direct, Yes Mogwaisoft.
Thank you :) What about the Ground crew X - are you gonna do a review on that aswell?
***** I vaguely remember Froogle talking about GSX in the first video it featured in, the Aerosoft Airbus X extended first impressions.
GSX already exists, Ground Crew X is a product currently being developed by the FS2Crew team. :)
is that FSX?
What do you use for the camera move from cockpit to fms ecc

I just me something about the PMDG 777 and was wondering why it asked me to install fs2crew when I bought the plane. and furthermore what is the hotkey to bring up the HUD for fs2crew.
+frodboy h When you installed you were asked if you wanted to install FS2Crew RAAS. This is not the FS2Crew product shown in this video. The "hotkey" for the one shown in this video (after you have bought and installed FS2Crew separately) is documented in the manual (You need to assign a key to it within the sim)
+frooglesim ok then what was did I install and thank you for the very quick feedback
It does reduce the workload, which can make things somewhat boring (and disorienting because I need to get used to what the FO does versus what I do), but it's nice to be able to hand fly and ask the FO to set the HDG bug to another heading without reaching for a mouse, or a button on the yoke.
Apologies to anyone who has to deal with the ground services in the United States, by the way. The guy sounds like a complete idiot =P
15:00. I'm guessing the flight planner was giving you temps in Fahrenheit, because you put 68 degrees CELSIUS as your takeoff temp. I know the desert can be hot, but I don't think it gets quite that hot. :P
EnDSchultz1 Nope. From TopCat, for this flight: Config : Flaps 5 // D-TO2 +68C
It's Derated so the temp can go as high as you like, just you need more runway.
Ah, so perhaps I've misunderstood the purpose of the temperature input on the thrust page. So what is the temperature input a representation of, if not OAT?
It's to let the engines think its much hotter outside and use less power(to avoid overheating).
stas harch but mainly for fuel + maintenance cost savings I believe
That is just amazing !
This leaves no difference in flying a real 777 or PMDG 777.
One question ! Is it compatible with win 8?
I have seen people who have done it. But I would strongly discourage you not to. FSX and Windows 8 are a pain to set up let alone run stable on a pc.
Well kudos to you then sir :D
lars8102816 i didn't experience win 8+fsx as a pain to setup. getting it up and running stable with just some basic CFG tweaks cost me 8 hours( including windows setup and addons). didn't even have any CTD's for a week(new pc since a week) so i must disagree. however if my pc would be purely for FSX i must agree a different OS would be better.
I just like your voice :))
Is the addon free
Hello froogle i need help were do i click to open the main panel for my fs2crew pmdg 777 i didn't see were you click it at
click spot underneath the MCP. there is a better description of how to open the panel in the manual
I saw another comment from you saying that you still can't find it but unfortunately I get such a massive volume of comments I couldn't find it again to reply. I don't know a solution for your trouble as it is not something I have come up against. I have a feeling that you have not run the config tool though and turned fs2crew on. if you haven't already I'd recommend walking step by step through the PDF manual and if that doesn't work reach out to fs2crew for technical support.
Hi froogle you had some issues with the parking brake, before push. How did you fix this? I have the same problems.
Siebren Broekema Sorry, I don't recall
You couldnt click the parkingbrake
Siebren Broekema i figured it out, you have to deactivate the powersupply in the fmc and remove the stopper.
hi Froogle how do u open fs2crew? what is the Key to open it?
I dont have fs2crew but I think it is in the manual.
at 46:20 the 777's engines sounds like a car engine at max rpm
Hey fgoogle what is the diffent from this two products im a little confuse
FS2Crew: PMDG 777 Captain's Set

It's unfortunate that the planes where this is really needed (707, 727, 737-200, etc), don't have FS2crew. I know you can use MCE, but I'd rather it be a little more polished like this. Quite a shame.
