But ofc you can startup the APU without ground power. It is suppose to start on battery. It's just a small turbine with a small fuel pump ;) both IRL and in Zibo Also for the plan/fuel field. The Plan field is used when the aircraft is not yet fueled, or during the tanking process. It is supposed to be your final fuel quantity tanked and is necessary only if you want to continue with the perf settings while waiting for the plane to be fueled.
Running thorough checklists makes all the difference in the real world. In your flight(s) your attention to checklists and detail makes the difference between an excellent presentation with real world accuracy and the many sloppy sim videos out there. Well done! In addition, checklists prevent sim errors being made. Your work should set standards for others.
Andre, man, what a nice comment! Thank you so much! I 100% agree, checklists are so essential. I use flows when I fly for real but I always pull out the checklist after my flow to ensure I didn't miss anything!
Great video. Just a small correction, you can start APU if batteries on. GPU is not needed. Actualy this is whats done in real: fwd-1 fuel pump on, APU start..
Hi, very nice tutorial, watched it like 6 times now to try and cover everything :) I have one question though, when you activate VOR LOC and then APP, how do you know you can activate it at that point? I though the diamonds on the FD had to be alive first? Or do I miss something? Thanks!
Yes it is possible. I am doing it all the time. You can use the skyvector. Try to create your own route and then enter it in the FMC manually. For some waypoints the FMC can give error. It means that those waypoints does not exist for airac 1708. At this point you can try to choose another waypoint in the skyvector. For fuel and CI numbers you can use the simbrief. The route that you have created will not be the same as the route ceated by the simbrief but at least it will give some values.
this was definitely helpful thanks for going through all the major things to set up a successful flight I've yet to successfully figure out how to land and I appreciate it
Can I ask how you have your mic set up so that you can record your voice while still recording the sounds of the simulator without getting feedback from your speakers.
Hi Micah, thank's a lot for your video! You put into the FMC at 19:55 RESERVES - 2.2 - in. Ehre is this number come from? I could not find it in the flightplan.
Thank you!! Mostly easy to follow along with you which is awesome! Just a few times where I had to replay because I couldn't tell where your mouse moved to, but still great! Not sure if you are able to do one of those mouse highlight clicks. Might be too annoying anyways, but great walk through otherwise!
Hi Micah, thank you for another great tutorial video. Love it! I just have one question though. Why is it that this ILS app doesn't have the two diamonds on the PFD for glideslope?
Hey Micah I wanted to know if you could help me with an Issue I'm having with my FMS/FMC for some reason it doesn't show the ACARS on the Main Page under FMC & it also shows ACT which I have no Idea what that Means & it also shows I have 2 Routes under the Dep/Arr Page is their just a way I can reset this or Delete or am I missing a Certain File?
Hi Micah, Thanks for all the videos but i Have a question? On the overhead panel you have only landing light switches, but my Zibo 737-800 with fix v37 it has 4 Landing light switches. How is this happens. Please clarify
May i ask what Computer etc you use?, I really want to get in to this but find it difficult to know what computer to buy..my budget is about £1800..Can you help, thanks in advance..
I have a problem. Whenever i put a specific speed onto the mcp and when i engage the auto throttle the speed keep on going up and down from my desired speed and is never constant on the speed which i set into the mcp.... Plz help me with this issue.....it would be a great help.
Your flight tutorial is excellent,except for a few times you put in info from the flight plans in the iPad. Foe instance you added ISA/QNH numbers, into the FMC and I had to do some research to find where you was talking about. I found the isa on page one, but I could not find or figure out where you got the qnh numbers. If your half way there and above 18000 ft. Where do get that information from. You have been doing this for awhile and you know this stuff. Can you explain where and how you get this info.Thx.....RobertC
@@MicahMesser Thx Micah. I have another question, where did you get to know so much about Aviation and not be a pilot. I have been simming for over twenty years, and the information you give ,i doubt real pilots can do better? Im now looking for all info that you hsve. You in fact has brought my level of flying up tremendously. Thank you for that. RobertC
I'm a little confused what the difference is between the heading and course settings on the MCP at about 25:00. Course 162 and heading 164 what's the difference when departuring?
Course is the course according to the chart, for example your RNAV departure says flight course 100 after departure. However, the runway's heading is 107. Heading get's set to runway heading and course gets set to departure course.
737 pilot, here. Bounced landings are generally the result of a pilot trying to save an approach that wasn't stabilized or chopping the power to a degree that exceeds the aircraft's rate of descent. The 737-800 is longer than most pilots first realize and because of the length the flare has to be less to avoid a tail strike. Flying by the numbers (i.e. %N1) and attitude (degrees nose up) makes landing the 737-8, easy, although it's still an airplane that requires the pilot to fly it. You might try landing with Flap 30, Vref + 5, and between two degrees and two degrees nose up. The real trick again is a stabilized approach. Check out this video from the feds. (I used the autoland feature in the Zibo mod so my son could get an idea of what a stabilized approach looks like. Stabilized approaches, however, are the result of getting your descent planning nailed--which can be tricky and depends on such factors as how the controller uses transitions to stack arriving aircraft, the prevailing wind component, the weight of the aircraft, etc. A good rule of thumb to manage descent is to go from top of descent to 10,000' at a pitch angle of about three degrees or slightly more, reduce it to 2 degrees or shallower when approaching 10,000' by bleeding off the power, and then when ATC clears you to a lower altitude you pitch up to 3 degrees again. It's not a coincidence that glideslope angles are three degrees. The short answer to not bouncing is the result of a stabilized approach and a stabilized approach depends on a well-managed descent.
Micah, great tutorial, what would we do without X-Plane in lock down. Everything worked fine but just before last way point, engines lost all power, flying well on AP, not sure what happened, I am sure there was enough fuel there were no warnings, just engines stopped and descended until a it crashed.
It depends on what you want. There is not a good Payware 737 for X-Plane 11. Zibo is far superior to a lot of payware aircraft now. For Airbus, Toliss cannot be beaten for quality and frame rates.
Hello micah messer Nice video Can you help me I have just install the zibo 737 but when I touch down me nose Wheel stuck in the groundt do you know how I can fix This problem thank you.
I followed you exactly, here. BUT still missed my approach and ran out of fuel. I noticed on the legs, there is still a "VECTOR" leg listed there, which "most" people say you need to eliminate to fully be on AP. Is that intentional for you on this?
I leave Vectors in because in real life, those stay in there to allow ATC to vector you onto final or wherever. I manually vector myself. You *can* remove them but risk having issues with ILS capture and other small issues.
Micah, I'm having trouble getting the PFDs to work. I keep getting an "enter IRS position" message. I tried to do what you did at 16:20, but I don't have that "Set IRS Position box" at the 4th button down on the right. Do I need, what did you say, "Navigraph?"
Jacob, I fly 737's and the Zibo mod is surprisingly realistic in its requirements to follow certain procedures precisely. There are some work-arounds and different carriers might do some things differently. One, for instance, might not put on the fuel pumps until just after the brake set subsequent to pushback. Another will turn on hydraulic pumps right after connecting to the GPU so the PNF can see any hydraulic leaks. Insofar as your question goes, you might try this when setting up your FMC for routing: (It's pretty much the sequence Micah uses, but sometimes it's difficult to follow it.) First, clear the "enter IRS position" message. you don't have to concern yourself with that until you begin populating the POS/INIT data. Key POS/INIT, then enter REF ARPT. Select next page and your GPS co-ordinates should appear. Key the first one then go to "Previous Page" and when you set the IRS, your GPS co-orinates should appear in the boxes. Hopes this helps.
@@andredarin8966 Thank you very much for the help. I actually did figure it out before hand. I wasn't putting the IRS's in Nav. I'm loving this plane now! Check out my landing in Boise if you have a minute.
Hi sorry to bother you but i can't get the checklist to work which you had the link for in the description. I clicked and downloaded but the file does not give a plugin. Am I using the correct link? I tried the Checklist used link but it is not a full file when i download, can you helpas I would find this plugin helpful to use? regards Daren
Nothing happens when i press "Start Ground Service Crews", I have the gpu, breaks and chocks set. Service and cargo doors are open. Happens with Zibo mod and the latest Level Up 737 NG
Sure. So, I use the Fix page to create a ring that is my roughly calculated top of descent. It's calculated by taking your current altitude divided by 1,000. Formula: (ALT/1,000) x 3 + 10 = estimated distance
@@Kpaojd A few reasons, mainly as a secondary reference if the system malfunctions. It is also to allow for an easier descent for your passengers. The Zibo isn't known for the best logic for descent rates
@@Kpaojd I cannot say that is guaranteed. I am not a real 737 pilot. I suppose it's close to the real thing. I got the formula from someone who worked closely with real pilots.
Can anyone help? I have been trying to get zibo 737x to work in xplane11 for months and different problems and bugs keep coming up making xplane impossible to use. I cannot afford £80 for a payware aircraft and zibo seems to be the only solution. At the start of playing plane 11 (mid 2019) it worked perfectly but I didn’t no how to fly I nearly had the hang of the zibo 737 when bugs came up making it unusable. I have reinstalled several times on steam and even reset windows 10 but no luck. I am running out of options!
Is there a guide for seeing where exactly on the SimBrief flight plan you get the information to plug into the FMC? Tow weight, fuel, payload, routes, etc..
Hi Micah, really enjoying your videos. One problem though, at the beginning of descending procedure, when you type in -3/30.33 in the FMC under DES(ISA DEV/QNH), you mention the information is on Page 1 of the flight plan(from Simbrief), I have been looking for these numbers(-3/30.33) but they are nowhere to be found. Also, the FLAP/SPD values(30/149) under APPROACH REF Can you explain exactly where these two numbers can be found? 1) -3 and 2) 30.33. 3) 30/149 PS. It would've been amazing if you can show the documents or information regarding to on the monitor so that viewers know exactly what you are referring to instead of searching for every little information separately. It took me 2 hours just to get to the descent part of the video trying to figure out exactly what you are referring to. As for an absolute novice, it is overwhelming trying to GUESS what you're referring to.
Well, I cover how and where to find that information on the other tutorials I've done. 1) that is found on page one of the flight plan under ISA DEV in the column in the upper right hand side of the page. 2) that is the local altimeter which can be found numerous ways and is ever changing with the weather. Google METAR for the airport you are going to. 3) the flap and speed information is the reference information for the aircraft and you on approach and landing. It is calculated two ways: in the FMC itself or with a secondary program. I use ApSoft Toolbox and it is very useful. I plan to do a tutorial soon on it.
@@MicahMesser My bad for neglecting to look for more basic videos you've uploaded before getting into a complete guide. Now I know what I am looking for and will enjoy even more following your guides. I have found basic and more detailed videos on your tutorial list. Thank you so much for all the great work, time, and passion you put into these guides. You have no idea how helpful it can be to someone like myself who has no prior knowledge in flying but has little or no education on aviation. Thank you again.
@@MicahMesser Hey Micah, one more question. As I was studying your FMC setup video, I am understanding better each minute. I found one thing odd which is in your FMC video when inputting RTE before departure, you input the waypoints in order(starting w/ CACD2) as exactly written on the flight plan, but in this video, for some reason, you seem to start from the middle as 'WANTA' WP is not the first waypoint in the flight plan(your flight plan). Can you explain a little about this procedure?
@@eugeneyoung2803 checklist calls for the pilot to insert the waypoints then add the SID and STAR. Why it's like that, idk. With the Airbus it's different, it's the SID waypoint then STAR.
Not anymore. Now I just use the default camera built into the game. X-Camera for sure has its uses, especially the new version, but I never used its full possibilities.
wow this checklist of zibo is totaly out of our aviation world. you dont need hydraulic powers on the ground . you will turn on just before eng startup
im begging you never to forget to save the game, the pain of losing everything you worked on is unimaginable
Understandable, however having to repeat this process is what makes it more realistic. Eventually being able to memorize it all :)
I just have to thank you for the most in-depth video Tutorial I have ever seen.

Thanks Great stuff!
I did the exact flight, but failed when I tried to pull the center of gravity in FMC, it doesn't load anything...? 33:50 in your vid
Could be a glitch. You can always manually put the CG
When I pressed “Vor Loc” why does the “HDG SEL” automatically come on and not able to have off like you did?
Awesome. Just what I need to get started with this plane. And this updated video aligns to the newer checklist so it's spot on now!
Glad it helped!
Is it possible to make a working flight plan with the Nav data out of date?
Yes it is possible. I am doing it all the time. You can use the skyvector. Try to create your own route and then enter it in the FMC manually. For some waypoints the FMC can give error. It means that those waypoints does not exist for airac 1708. At this point you can try to choose another waypoint in the skyvector. For fuel and CI numbers you can use the simbrief.

Now I wish x-plane 11 was free and tthen was no demo time limit so that I can do a full flight
Austin and his crew have to make a living to support their families. I don't blame them at all!
@@MicahMesser oh… ok sorry
I still can't believe this aircraft is free.
How do you know where/when your top of descent is?
Hi Micah, really enjoying your videos. One problem though, at the beginning of descending procedure, when you type in -3/30.33 in the FMC under DES(ISA DEV/QNH), you mention the information is on Page 1 of the flight plan(from Simbrief), I have been looking for these numbers(-3/30.33) but they are nowhere to be found. Also, the FLAP/SPD values(30/149) under APPROACH REF
Can you explain exactly where these two numbers can be found?
1) -3 and
2) 30.33.
3) 30/149
PS. It would've been amazing if you can show the documents or information regarding to on the monitor so that viewers know exactly what you are referring to instead of searching for every little information separately. It took me 2 hours just to get to the descent part of the video trying to figure out exactly what you are referring to. As for an absolute novice, it is overwhelming trying to GUESS what you're referring to.
Well, I cover how and where to find that information on the other tutorials I've done.
1) that is found on page one of the flight plan under ISA DEV in the column in the upper right hand side of the page.
2) that is the local altimeter which can be found numerous ways and is ever changing with the weather. Google METAR for the airport you are going to.
3) the flap and speed information is the reference information for the aircraft and you on approach and landing. It is calculated two ways: in the FMC itself or with a secondary program. I use ApSoft Toolbox and it is very useful. I plan to do a tutorial soon on it.
@@MicahMesser My bad for neglecting to look for more basic videos you've uploaded before getting into a complete guide. Now I know what I am looking for and will enjoy even more following your guides. I have found basic and more detailed videos on your tutorial list. Thank you so much for all the great work, time, and passion you put into these guides. You have no idea how helpful it can be to someone like myself who has no prior knowledge in flying but has little or no education on aviation. Thank you again.
@@eugeneyoung2803 no apologies necessary. You are most welcome. Welcome to the sky!
@@MicahMesser Hey Micah, one more question. As I was studying your FMC setup video, I am understanding better each minute. I found one thing odd which is in your FMC video when inputting RTE before departure, you input the waypoints in order(starting w/ CACD2) as exactly written on the flight plan, but in this video, for some reason, you seem to start from the middle as 'WANTA' WP is not the first waypoint in the flight plan(your flight plan). Can you explain a little about this procedure?
@@eugeneyoung2803 checklist calls for the pilot to insert the waypoints then add the SID and STAR. Why it's like that, idk. With the Airbus it's different, it's the SID waypoint then STAR.
Micah, are you using XCamera?
Not anymore. Now I just use the default camera built into the game. X-Camera for sure has its uses, especially the new version, but I never used its full possibilities.
How could he change camera view in the cockpit?
Set a preffered view and then hold ctrl and click a number in the numped. Make sure that your numpad is on.
my engines wont start and on my avi tab it says detechted files missing any help?
Try reinstalling the plane or just update it
What Redd said.
gps left howd you copy that?
Where are you based
Alabama
wow this checklist of zibo is totaly out of our aviation world. you dont need hydraulic powers on the ground . you will turn on just before eng startup
LNAV is not engaging in this mod
Do you have all the legs set and executed in the FMC? Does the take off have an initial RNAV waypoint or a heading?
what key should i press for getting into overheadpanel and central pedestral?
Where can i get the checklist that you use ?? Not the Zibo Plugin one. The one you take from the dashboard.
Download xChecklist, install it in your plugins.
