Flight sim just came out on xbox and I've always wanted to fly a 747 in a sim! I am a student pilot and am aspiring to be a 747 pilot irl. Its very cool to be able to fly this in a sim. Vid was very helpful, without you I would be clueless lmao. Great vid, earned a like a sub.
Thank you I really appreciate that! :)
One small suggestion or request for these type of "control panel" videos:
Turn on the panel lights so they aren't so dark and sillhueted against the bright windscreen. Or fly in the opposite direction of the sun.
You got it!
Thank you so much for these tutorials! I am really liking them! So helpful :)
You're so welcome! Glad you enjoyed! :)
First like. Lookinig forward to the Jumbo legend.
Thank you for the like! We have another one coming up tomorrow and it is the requested video of the viewers!
Love this tutorial. I just got familiar with Airbus A320. After getting into the cockpit of a Boeing and fiddling around the dials, I quickly realized I'd better watch a tutorial. Your lesson is just at the right level for me. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Which one is easier?
@@Tommy88- A320 was easier to pilot than the Boeing for me.
Thanks a lot for the video!!!! The only good video about it that I could find
no worries glad you liked it!
Thanks for posting this.
no worries!
Thank you. It was helpful, because 2 hours ago I was pretty frustrated.
Glad it helped you out!
This is similar to the autopilot in the Beechcraft King Air 350, good lesson. I couldn't figure out why it would not seek an altitude without setting a vertical speed first.
Thank you!
I like the real life sound of the engines winding up.
I do too!
Thanks for the help! :)
Good Video👍
no worries! glad you liked it!
THANK YOUUUU!!!
No Worries!
Thank you, this helped me so much👍😁
No Worries! :)
i never saw a video like this i could not figure out how to keep it activated or changing it without fucking up but you so solved that problem for me thanks alot greatly appreciated and yes i did subscribe thank you buddy 👍👍✈✈
Nice video man, keep up the good work i am also the person discord
Yes I remember hahaha glad you enjoyed! :)
I too noticed that the bank angle and heading adjust knobs were highly irritating-- as far as the fact that it's very easy to mouse over the wrong one.
that is true
Yes you can change alltitude by vertical speed but at the altitude you where on ( 20.000 feet) its better to just use fl ch standing for flightlevel change but overal its a good tutorial.
Once you are at a given altitude and you want to climb or decent, set the required altitude and just push FLC (flight level change) i.s.o. all the vert speed husle.
thanks for sharing!
Ty!
No Worries!
Thank you for the video. Any idea how to let the autopilot to follow the flight plan course on the FMC? Thanks again.
No worries! I think you just turn on LNAV and RNAV :)
@@Decivye Thank you
Make sure you engage flight director and auto throttle the click one of the cmd buttons then Lnav and vmav
Hey great video, I wanted to ask how could I make the aircraft follow my flight plan. I dont know if you said this in the video already so maybe I missed it.
I had the F/D turned on at the same time as the auto pilot which was at the same time as the auto throttle. Was that my big mistake, and why the plane wouldn't take to my auto pilot settings at all?
EDIT-- Never mind. I hadn't watched the whole thing at the time I asked that. Not only is this weird for the Airbus people, but this is different from the FS9 B737-400 as well. I was always used to the green lights meaning that the function is "ON" and can be switched by turning that knobs at that exact point. Not that it was on "HOLD" and you had to undo the "HOLD" to make changes.
Glad you were able to sort things out
how do u know how fast your going in kmph? would appreciate any advice
Hello, do you have any FP, with SID & STAR?
Ok, just tried a flight after taking careful notes from your video. Everything was fine, until I wanted to increase air speed with my locked altitude already in place. When I raised air speed from 200 (like in your video), to 230, it ignored the altitude hold at 5,000' and started increasing altitude.
How do I tell the auto pilot to increase speed without increasing altitude? It basically ignored the hold command entirely. Once I entered this problem, I began cyclical porposing of the aircraft, as I struggled with too high too low, etc. The only thing I could set and forget was the heading. That never presented any further problems.
Also just noticed that I never lifted the flaps back up after takeoff. Could that also explain some problems? I was so hell bent on raising the gear and hitting the auto pilot switch, that I didn't think about the flaps.
Retract the flaps that might solve the issue
16:18 -- ATC: "Boeing Seven-Four-Seven" you were not cleared to takeoff."
You: "Whatever... ignore that." -- ROFL !!!
aint nobody stopping us from doing our thing hahaha
I have problem, that when I put on altidude hold mode then it turns on speed hold too BUT I cant turn them off anymore. WHAT DO I DOOOOO PLEASE SOMEONE
Wait till he finds the flight director!
It's not just a little bit different from airbus this iteration is straight up buggy.
Via another video (and possibly included in this one and I've not gotten to it yet) the main thing I needed to be told was to ensure the pink marker for V/S in displayed. Requires 2 clicks many times. Now that I know this it flies more or less how I expect. =D
Glad to hear that! :)
The A320 Neo is so good and simple to fly. Way better. Now fast make a video of the boeing ILS landing :3
Coming tomorrow :)
But as for the long flights tho, Boeing is better for me(9 hours long flights gang here) :)
What is the difference between the 3 autopilot buttons for activating/deactivating? L, C, R. ?
Have not tinkered with it too much yet which is why I just made the basics :)
how do you take off it won't let me
Also, why does the over speed tick-tick alarm begin well below 250 knots? Planes fly that fast all the time.
the higher you go the overspeed limit will decrease
@@Decivye Oh ok. I see.
Now my question is why does my throttle get stuck after take off? This is only on the 747-8.
hit the A/T ARM switch, throttle should be controllable after
1.00 check it
I want a tutorial for the 747 that comes with standard
with standard?
Thanks for the tutorial! Now I have a problem with air speed. When reaching about 30000ft, the plane starts losing air speed even though I set higher speed and thrust is on full power. At crusing altitude I'm stuck at about 260knots. Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Glad this video helped you! To be honest I have not experienced flying at higher altitudes with the 747 yet so im gonna have to check it out for myself :)
It’s because you’re at high altitude, if you check your groundspeed it’ll be around 450 knots. Don’t know how to explain it, I’ll leave that to the pros
Has to do with how the speed is measured (basically a tube in the airstream outside the fuselage). The thinner air lets the aircraft „feel“ a speed less than its real ground speed. This is your indicated airspeed.
Please help. When I take off with a 747 without setting anything on the autopilot I lose all control over my thrust. The plane sets it to 80 percent and I don't know how to override it. And when I landed again after somehow forcing the plane to set the throttle to 0, it pushes the engines to max thrust so it is literally impossible to land. WHAT IS HAPPENING? PLEASE HELP I JUST WANT TO FLY
Hi Eric its kinda hard for me to tell whats wrong without seeing the take off and landing configuration of the aircraft. If you have discord you can join my server and maybe I can facilitate one of your flights when I have the time.
Is it crossplatform? Im on my pc and my mates on his xbox so will we be able to play together?
This one im not too sure of I have not played with anyone using xbox because back then it was pure PC you will have to do the research :)
Hey! When I set the departure and arrive point in the menu it makes the flight plan automatically?
yes
@@Decivye Thank you. Nice vid.
@@MrFish-yq6ll No worries! :)
when you take of will it do it autimaatikly if you set a height
Im sorry I dont understand what do you mean it will do it automatically?
@@Decivye do you have to take off mannuly or autopilot will do it when you set an altitude
@@regentnine2321 you take off manually and once you turn on autopilot it will climb to your selected height
I havent got flight sim Yet but do you need to get premium to fly the boeing or can you just have standard?
the 747 comes in the basic but, not the 787 you need to pay more for the 787! :)
@@Decivye how much and is it premium or just and extra thing?
@@swales3511 It is the premium game but, dont worry if you get the basic game you can chose to have it upgraded in game if you decide you want to fly the 787 (what I did) for the price im not too sure I forgot how much I paid but I think it was like 100 dollars total.
@@Decivye ok thanks
What does LNAV and VNAV do?
I am still learning buddy! Once we know more we will teach more! To answer your question no idea at this point hahaha!
@@Decivye Found it! The airplane will follow the route of the FMC horizontaly with LNAV and it will climb following FMC info when using VNAV
@@Chaqken Thank you for sharing buddy! :)
Was this Manila International Airport?
Yes it was :)
I have a lot of trouble with this aircraft 747-800, no matter I tried everything you guys UA-cam, which is not smooth flying
sorry to hear that :(
16:31 -- At the exact moment you said "I'm going to turn on auto pilot", I saw the 'L CMD' button light come on, but you never moused over it and clicked on it. Your mouse arrow was off toward the left of the screen. So I'm curious how you actually turned that on at that exact moment?
I have it bound to one of my keys on my keyboard
Decivye >>> Oh ok. That explains it, thanks.
@@B3burner cheeers!
Pretty much THE tip for both Boeing aircraft in the current state of MSFS 20: do not, under any circumstances, use VNAV.
Or just fly Airbus hahaha!
@@Decivye Yeah, it's really unfortunate. The Airbus is nice (especially with the NX mod) but I'd really like to do some long hauls without having to worry about the autopilot trying to kill me all the time.
Hello, m'y name is Patrice NABO.
hi, how to make a DIRECT?
check my boeing 747 ILS video
@@Decivye I checked it, but you just land there.... do you know what I mean with "direct"? I mean a shortcut in flight plan. I seem it is not possible on those boeing (747 and 787) but possible on the 320 neo. What do you think?
I did the exact procedures you did and nothing happened.
Worked out for a lot of other people make sure your autopilot is turned on. Maybe your game is bugged.
This is not autopilot.
ok
The 747 is a bunch of BS! No wonder they scrapped this POS!
I cannot get the AP to work no matter how many times I rewatch your video and read my notes.
Heading is fine, but I can’t stop altitude and speed surge the plane just keeps undulating up and Down. It will not respect speed and altitude hold.
Was the F/D switch supposed to be turned on and you forgot to include that part in your video?
This time I triple checked the flaps are set to 0° so I fix that part
So far i have not encountered this issue yet. Tho I dont spend much time flying the 747
@@Decivye Duly noted. I'm sorry I'm besieging you with a million questions. I'm just frustrated because the Boeing 73- and 74- were so much easier in FS2004.
@@B3burner No worries at all I want to do my best to help you guys out! Just try resetting the auto pilot. Make sure your altitude is stable and then try manipulating the speed. I hope it works out!
