Don't be to hard to your self. The whole video is so interesting, so helpful, so full of all the good stuff how to fly an aircraft like this. Thrust me if I say it is much more than only 90 percent enjoyment. I am sure the next time you will show us the best, the coolest and maybe the most interesting landing with the 747 of all time.
Theres so many guides on A320 and other more common jetliners, its nice that someone in the community is finally giving the 747 some professional attention! Great video as always!!
man everyone who flys in the 747 should see this. we truly appreciate your work . makes learning this time wasting hobby so much better. fantastic work
Excellent tutorial. Anyone that has flown much in msfs has had unexpected game crashes and other anomalies. Thanks you for you time and effort to deliver good content.
Excellent, first class. As offered by the many, don't beat yourself up over this, my FS2020 sh*ts itself a lot and I understand your frustration. Keep up the great work !
The best tutorial I have ever seen in the internet, I was looking for the A320N tutorial, but when I saw your tutorial I just forgot about Airbus and now I believe I can fly the big one... Thank you for this amazing video!!!
This is a great video, shows you all of the detail you need to properly fly this puppy. There are so many videos where the creator has no commentary, which for my money are useless, so this is excellent. Re the landing being lost, that's computers for you, but realty is, everything was set, so nothing substantial was lost!
Just moving from A32NX to the B747 and this tutorial was wonderful. Main reason to get to the B747 is to actually fly at speed and distance to get amazing views of journeying over the planet.
Very nicely done video. With regards to Cost Index, I'd go a step further in explaining that CI is used in quantifying a ratio between fuel cost and personnel cost. Cabin crew are paid for block time, meaning that their time "on the clock" begins when the blocks are removed from the aircraft's wheels. Their time on the clock ends once blocks are placed back under the wheels (normally in a new city). I.E. the longer a plane is flying, the higher the personnel cost. Depending on how many cabin crew members are on the flight and what they are paid, each company can then choose what ratio of personnel cost vs fuel cost they want to use for any particular flight to minimize overall cost (fuel + personnel), because as noted, longer flights cost more in personnel but flying faster increases cost in fuel. Cost Indexing allows them to optimize each flight's cost.
Great tutorial. Only knowing how to fly the a320, I had no idea you had to manually arm autothrottle because a320s automatically did it. Started getting nervous when the aircraft hit 350+ knots. 😂
I think most of us know the landing anyway, having done a bunch of closed circuits just learning how to get the thing on the ground. It's the other 90 percent about which I hadn't prior to this video a clue.
Nice tutorial even though months ago.. Even with the updates since.. still very nice and thorough. Keep it up! Just got the 747 -8I from Salty as is now it's own aircraft to select in MSFS.
Hey, great tutorial! Rich in details. Quick question: So in the sim, the autopilot for the 747 don't know the altitude restrictions for each waypoint and we need to calculate/check those manually?
Hey! Awesome video. Could you please tell me where is the TOGA button on this aircraft? I tried to find in Salty manuals and everything, but no luck. Thanks!
Very nice! Just a tiny thing, it's not called the 800, it's either the 747-8i(PAX version) or 747-8F(Freighter version). But besides that, very very good!
Hi love the videos, I have a question about the 737-700 I can not get the brake to work on any of my yoke or throttle I have cleared all my settings and started again the brake will not let me set it even with the mouse? any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks
Hi. I have Xbox Series S and I have set everything from its map screen, yet for some reason all speed and altitude columns in the FMC are blank, and the auto pilot just flies in a straight line. Please can you guide me to get it working? It is probably me doing something wrong, but I have tried and tried and can't work it out. Love the video.
I have an idea. I suggest supplementing the manual with all the necessary procedures performed by real pilots in real life. Some procedures will be irrelevant at the moment because the command buttons are not working yet. But once they work, it will be a comprehensive guide. I mean both manuals, for A320 and B747. Regards. Robert
Good video guide. Really wish I could afford to purchase the guide. Unfortunately, I'm physically disabled, have had 4 surgeries already and having another Tuesday. I do wood carving and spent 6 months saving up just to buy the full game (still wondering why I spent $120 on this incomplete sim). Heck, I have a potato computer and keep getting a warning that my computer doesn't meet specs but still lets me fly. LOL. But I can tell you put a ton of work into your video and guides. Maybe if I sell a few more carvings I'll go ahead and purchase them. Your videos are very well done and I understand the frustration when recording corruption happens. I use OBS studio (free) to record lesser demanding games (well, used to). I dunno.. maybe Nividia is being taxed too much with everything else MSFS demands? Anyway, just wanted to let you know your hard work is appreciated. PS - I grew up in Arizona.. an even hotter part than Tucson - Bullhead City. I kid you not, it reached 132 degrees quite a few times and 115 was the average during summer peaking to 120+. I sure do miss the monsoon season though. Nothing like the beauty of the skies and the smell of desert rain. I apprenticed at a local airport for a while (Needles, CA) as a kid. Loved being around aircraft all my life. Now I can't even drive (thanks vision and epilepsy!!!). Somehow I ended up in Idaho only a couple hours from Yellowstone. Beautiful country here for bush flying. Anyway, I'm too long winded. Keep the great content going and thanks again for all the work you do for the community!!!!!
Very helpful tutorial thanks for taking your time in creating this credits to you I really appreciate. Does it come with cam specific views or you made them yourself it’s still confusing me from plane to plane how you make camera specific for each individual aircraft?
Very informative, Mike, but a few pointers: The Boeing way is EICAS, pronounced "eye-cass". Also, the procedure of setting the Baro minima for the single-engine acceleration height doesn't make sense. Baro implies altitude above MSL, so setting it at, for example, 1000 ft in KTUS, you're already way above that altitude before taking off. I'm not very familiar with the B747, but I am with the B777, and the minimas are never implemented for departure. And when you're below UP speed you have to start extending the flaps as required. UP is the minimum clean speed. Keep up the good work and enthusiasm!
Roger that! I'll make some adjustments! I really appreciate the information

Very nice tutorial! Man, sometimes when I try the 747 the autothrottle reduce the power in the middle of the takeoff running when using TOGA. I think I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what...
Great guide, im sure it well help me a bit, i have been battling with the AP on this for a while with it often causing me to eat $#1t! I will give it a go tonight and see if i can have some more success, i do enjoy flying this much more than the 320 which i find boring. On the crashing, i was having some issues even after thoroughly testing my (current high end) system with 4k stress tests and the two main t hings im sure have mostly (if not entirely at least on build at time of posting) stopped the ctd's were setting the maximum performance in windows and Nvidia cp, really seems if either of these are not set this sim likes to crash. I have things like game mode and recording disabled as well. 5900x,32gbram and a 3080tiand run it on ultra in vr.
I spent 2 hours on all that. I tried two times to properly takeoff. But it just shows TO/GA or HDG SEL on the PFD and LNAV won't engage. The plane just flying straight.
@@OverkillSimulations Thanks for the reply. Keep up the good work. just a pity regarding the distortion that you mention upon the landing. But I look forward to your next video.
@1:47:20 you gave the altitude select a left click to start the descend, but when I do it nothing happens. I had set the altitude to FL240. are there setting that I may have missed to cause this?
I actually have a problem with the issue of the Spoilers. It seems they do not work since 4 or 3 days ago in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 when you are pressing it. It seems that they have have glitch.
Hello, very nice video. Very simple and clear explanation. I have a question. On A320 fbw (I fly almost exlusively this aircraft and almost always in IVAO), ATC can give you a direct and that happens almost always after takeoff or on approach. In the A320 FMC it is very simple to order the aircraft to go to the point indicated by the controller, but how is it done in the 747?
What version of Salty are you using. Since last update I did (sometime August) my LNAV is no loner working. I have the LNAV selected yet the plane choose to fly HDG no matter what i do. I can fly the standard version with no issues
Will it load the flight path from the FS2020 when I don't use Simbrief? I like realistic handling with planes. But when it comes to type in every single Nav point by hand, I'm getting tooooo lazy and I'm out at this point.
@@OverkillSimulations Sooo obviously you know this plane well... I found no option to import the flight path created with the MSFS world map. What Am I doing wrong?
Tried following this, everything thing went perfectly until descent. I made it to 12,000ft using the V/S put the plane didn’t hold the altitude. It just increased its V/S and literally went into a dive. I made sure the AP was on and it was, i made sure the VNAV wasn’t on and it wasn’t. the PDF was showing me that V/S speed was engaged and the plane should be following what i was telling it. It didn’t quite and just went into a dive into the mountains. I really don’t know if this is a bug but i don’t think the AP would crash the plane would it?
I'm just sorry for the time you wasted for a tutorial of this plane. To fly with this plane, if I can call it a plane, not even worth having this simulator. But I appreciate your time.

That was one heck of a guide. I really appreciate all the work you put in to this.

Great video! I have had the same issue before after a nine hour flight. Don’t feel bad, it was just the ultimate in “keeping it real”!
Grate video, what I liked was the smoke swerling off the front landing gear while taxying at KJFK!!!
Best 747-8 tutorial out there. Liked and subscribed.

Thanks, I did learn a few things that I was not doing the right way! May I suggest for next flight, SFO to MEM in a FedEx livery.
I'm down!! Will do!!
the TOD and RWY calc apps are a HUGE help. thanks for all the work you've put into this video and the guide! happy flying! cheers
Watched the whole thing to find out when to flare and how much. Got played.

Thanks for this. just made a flight from SAEZ-SCEL using this tutorial and managed to land safe and sound.
Fantastic guide so well presented. Learnt a lot but also confirmed I was doing a lot of things right especially doing things early!
Nice tutorial even though months ago.. Even with the updates since.. still very nice and thorough. Keep it up! Just got the 747 -8I from Salty as is now it's own aircraft to select in MSFS.
I left the subscription there! I really liked the tutorial, I was able to take a lot of information with me in this video🙂👍
Thank you very much!!
Hey, great tutorial! Rich in details. Quick question: So in the sim, the autopilot for the 747 don't know the altitude restrictions for each waypoint and we need to calculate/check those manually?
For anyone wondering, it's the "data" button.
Incredible work dude, thank you for sharing in such detail !
It's all good my man!!!!! Awesome content!!!!!!!!!
Nice video, no worries about the trouble. We all suffer that from the sim.
¡Gracias!
Absolutely amazing tutorial thanks so much
I miss the trim configuration based on the CG.
I have an issue where during my climb, the autopilot disconnected and I am unable to reconnect it. Does anybody know how to fix this?
Hey! Awesome video. Could you please tell me where is the TOGA button on this aircraft? I tried to find in Salty manuals and everything, but no luck. Thanks!

So how do you know where to taxi without in game ATC?
Hi,
How do you move the cameras in MSFS? Any 3th party software for views?
Best regards
Didn't know the MLW and landed at 945,000 lbs (MLW is 688,000 lbs) after a long flight and stalled at 170 knots. Got a -605
Is STAB TRIM done automatically for this plane? If not, do you know where to get the right number ? thx
Does anyone know how to activate tcas? On the navigation screen I get tcas off.
I haven't flown this plane in awhile but I flew it today and the damn auto throttle keeps over speeding.
I spent 2 hours on all that. I tried two times to properly takeoff. But it just shows TO/GA or HDG SEL on the PFD and LNAV won't engage. The plane just flying straight.
Thanks for the video. Just a quick one. Isn't the rule under 10000 feet you may not fly faster than 250 knots? And not 256?
Yes that is correct... that was my bad
@@OverkillSimulations Thanks for the reply. Keep up the good work. just a pity regarding the distortion that you mention upon the landing. But I look forward to your next video.
@@madpilot01 lol I was SO ANGRY lol.. of all the moments to lose
Only problem i have in this plane is it says invalid entry when i go to set flaps for take off
What format are you using
@1:47:20 you gave the altitude select a left click to start the descend, but when I do it nothing happens. I had set the altitude to FL240. are there setting that I may have missed to cause this?
Can someone drop a time stamp to where and how he sets the VOR and ILS frequencies
I actually have a problem with the issue of the Spoilers.
It seems they do not work since 4 or 3 days ago in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 when you are pressing it.
It seems that they have have glitch.
How did you get stablizer tank and reserve fuel tank to work??
what is the difference in FLC and speed mode on decent. Seems like they do the same thing (descend at a specific speed) ??

This vid explains how to put a hold or DIRECT TO input in. Ideal for IVAO or VATSIM
You didn’t show which thing the parking break was🙄
Is the pushback menu only for PC?
Great guide. Sorry to bring this up but there is no 747-800. It is the 747-8 (747 dash 8).
Lol.. omg I can't believe I did that!!! Haha!! I will change that...
Guys does anyone noticed that the real time traffic doesn’t showing airplanes on the radar ؟
how do you get the custom weight and balance toolbar to look like that?
how do you keep your speed below 250 below 10,000 ft on takeoff?
It would be interesting if the sim, simulated noise complaints from those living near the airport. lol
Yes and maybe extremely irate passengers in you perform a "tactical decent" for non emergency situation lol
What version of Salty are you using. Since last update I did (sometime August) my LNAV is no loner working. I have the LNAV selected yet the plane choose to fly HDG no matter what i do. I can fly the standard version with no issues
Anyone but me not able to follow this since SU8 as the APU won't start?
Where is tha landing! :D Luckely nobody died...
Will it load the flight path from the FS2020 when I don't use Simbrief? I like realistic handling with planes. But when it comes to type in every single Nav point by hand, I'm getting tooooo lazy and I'm out at this point.
Lol yes it will
It can also load them directly from simbrief as well
Good to know both options working. The mod for the 787 X is nothing for me because it has not yet this option.
@@OverkillSimulations Sooo obviously you know this plane well... I found no option to import the flight path created with the MSFS world map. What Am I doing wrong?
Hello, I have this on xbox one how do you get all the switches and knobs working mfs2020, someone said flybywire I too sure what that means?
Hi, I need Help: I cant Press the Standbypower. Do you Know the Problem?
How do I order the 747-8 tutorial guide?
Tried following this, everything thing went perfectly until descent. I made it to 12,000ft using the V/S put the plane didn’t hold the altitude.

Although i really appreciate this guide. It’s quite helpful
Can I get a your documemt (ppt) at 8min
Using E-mail?
Can I use Foreflight instead of SimBrief? Does Foreflight integrate with the FMS?
I don't know if it integrates with the aircraft... but I know it will integrate with the SIM if that makes sense
So many free guides out there, including this video and many others. Why would someone buy it?
Closing the battery switch cover isn’t in the guide. What a slacker. I guess I’m not buying it. LOL.
Lol I'm sorry!!! Lol!!
100 miles from covid, noooooo lmao
Ya, …recording got scrambled 😂😂😂 botched approach
Sky Dolly.... would have just used it to fix the approach ;)
I'm just sorry for the time you wasted for a tutorial of this plane. To fly with this plane, if I can call it a plane, not even worth having this simulator. But I appreciate your time.
turn off the clouds dude. msfs clouds are garbage.
