I have a litte pre-flight list I keep on my yoke and I put all of the instructions on it and I have multiple planes I fly so I just use it when I need it and it’s sooo helpful.
ive followed the tutorial step by step , i get to turn the plane on , engines runnning , flaps working , trim working and speedbrakes working. but i cant get my flight controls to work.
@@flqxarchive I think "Flight -> Prep Electrical Systems for Boarding" menu item works buts it not the same as this tutorial because you don't have to flip the ground power switch
Thank you very much good sir I just got X-Plane because I finally wanted to get into flying the bigger aircraft and I sat down and felt like I was on a different planet !
Best yoke is definitely the saitek. You can get it for around $100 and it'll do almost everything a real plane will do. Nothing beats vr though. I will try to make an ils approach video and what do you mean by equalizer?
Funny how for you the apu thing starts spinning but with me on the exact same thing it doesn’t I done everything you did but nothing so how come that happened?
I gave so many videos bad comments but I got to say that your video was very nice and simple. I am a new start level to fly 737 and your video helped me a lot. I will look for more of your other videos I hope to find how to set up a flight plan and to do auto-land ILS, if not please do them in that very nice and simple way you did in this video. Thanks, bro
@@Planetarygamers Just to understand what they are. I see some UA-cam videos where the pilot is looking at two gauges to determine if its a hung start or a hot start. Just wondering what exactly they're looking at and for. Its seems like starting a jet engine is not as easy as some might think. Thanks for sharing BTW
just a tip. start up and vids for beginers would be more efective during daylight so we can see more clearly. but well done and you speak very clear, great, William
Hello! I followed the steps but when I turned off the apu (the one in the front, where the guage is) my avionic systems died. Is there a solution? (I tried starting it up 2 times)
Hey great video my engines are started but just one thing; everytime I turn APU off all of my “screens” (PFD etc) turn off. Do you think there’s anything I could have done wrong ? Because this happens every time I try...
Ummm I wanted to know, I bought this plane and I put it in my aircraft folder... I loaded into x plane but I couldn't find it?????? Could u make a vid about this?
Unfortunately I am not entirely sure what the issue is that caused the aircraft not to show up on x plane for you. I do recommend the zibo mod for the 737-800 however as it is much easier to install. Also, x plane comes with its own prebuilt 737 already.
same. above standby power your see theres a panel that says DC with a black cover. flip that cover and flip the switch to on. when i did that it worked for me hope i explained this ok lol
Great video and just the right level of detail, BUT for those whose eyesight isn't as good as it used to be would have been good if this could have been done in daytime to see the switches better
Great tutorial. One correction though: Ground Power should be turned on AFTER battery master and standby power. Some people may wonder why nothing is happening.
make sure when before you turn off the apu generators which happens when the apu turns off, you turn on the engine generators which are the 2 next to the apu gens.
Bro,how can we pan the view from the pilot's side and focus or look right on to the over head panel or the central panel(Flaps,Throttle area).Please help.Thanks.
Well I did exactly what you show on this video and could not get engines to come on. I have default B737-800 loaded on X-plane 11. Don't know why engines won't come on. I spent a good deal of time on this with no luck. Any advise???
@@D3DO also i found no video in yt how to actually start up the 737 without any failures to begin with. so its better to read the manuals rather than whtching yt tutorial
Took your cold start lesson, thanks for that. I take off all good and dandy. Once I reach about 18,000 feet all.penals.becomes dark. Nothing is lit. Also warning beep. I. An switch to external view. I am still flying. I suspect it is cabin is pressurized. Any help will.be appreciated. When I go below 7,000 feet. All instruments comes back on.
You are experiencing hypoxia. You must not have set your cabin pressure to match altitude. This happens in real life as well. Any time you go above 12,500 feet, you are required to have oxygen for yourself and passengers. Hope this helps :)
that is cabin altitude turn off apu bleed after everything is set and then turn on engine bleed and set the crz and land altitude on the overhead panel
Hello guys any one know how to download ground crew in x plane 11 737-800 ? need help please Thanks. And what the difference 737-800X and zibo 737-800? And how to download it need help Please Thanks.
hi there! you shouldn't have to buy it, although the zibo download is 100% free and we highly recommend it! Xplane 11 does come stock with a 737 however and it recently got an awesome upgrade for free as well.
@@Me-sx2dm make sure your battery and standby power are on, turn on fuel pumps, then hold down the Apu starter until it turns on. It may take a minute.
Hello! If you click the little airplane icon at the top right of your screen, then click customize on the airport, you can pick which gate you would like to start at. Hope that helps!
I follow all the steps up to the apu start but it wont even crank. Keep in mind I'm playing the demo version right now and only have 15 minutes before I have ro restart the program.

Its tricky, but double and triple check your packs and apu switch on the right side of the overhead panel. That usually causes the APU to go back to 0 if its not done right.

The same here man. Did u solve it somehow ?
How do you request the ground power unit cause in mine the grd power unit doesn’t work
you can either down load the betterpushback plugin for x plane or i think one comes when you request ground crews through the ingame hot keys.

@@Planetarygamers Basic Approaches, ILS Approaches, Equalizers, best yokes hahahaha
Best yoke is definitely the saitek. You can get it for around $100 and it'll do almost everything a real plane will do. Nothing beats vr though. I will try to make an ils approach video and what do you mean by equalizer?
Planetarygamers accordingly aircraft intercept a localizer before being cleared to land 🤷♂️
Ah gotcha
Thank you so much for a wonderful tutorial it helped me so much.
Glad we could help!
Funny how for you the apu thing starts spinning but with me on the exact same thing it doesn’t I done everything you did but nothing so how come that happened?

I think he made a mistake in word choice, you are supposed to hold down the apu switch in order for the gage to go up
When I turn the apu off the screen shuts down

Hi do you guys have video for how to input FMC for 737? And how to set for take off? Thanks
Unfortunately we do not have a video for the FMC at this time, but we will be looking into making one in the future :)
Planetarygamers oh ok Thanks
What about Hot and Hung starts? Also, for realizim dont all plane have to turn on beacon light before start?
What would you like to know about Hot and Hung Starts? Also yes, for realism, you should turn on your beacon light before engine start.
@@Planetarygamers Just to understand what they are. I see some UA-cam videos where the pilot is looking at two gauges to determine if its a hung start or a hot start. Just wondering what exactly they're looking at and for. Its seems like starting a jet engine is not as easy as some might think. Thanks for sharing BTW
After starting both engines and disabling the apu bleed, then turning off my apu all displays go off. What do I do?
keep apu on and bleed on

What did you press for the flashlight?
Under the view tab, its called aviation flashlight
just a tip. start up and vids for beginers would be more efective during daylight so we can see more clearly. but well done and you speak very clear, great, William
i was flying and a warning came in and it got black i didn't see a ting do you know how i can solve this problem?
Most likely hypoxia. you can either disable it in the settings or adjust your cabin pressure.
Planetarygamers but how can i get the pressure good?
middle right of the top pannel theres a cabin pressure indicator. adjust that to the altitude you want to fly at.
Planetarygamers THX
Ground Power switch not working /: (Im using the zibo addon)
if you are a noob to flight sims pls use the default 737 first, and try turning on the battery and standby power first

awasome, simple and very helpful video. ty

You should be able to set it on the far right over head panel. you adjust the feet on there and it sets it up for you.

Double tap
press W
For some reason, even when my engines are on, whenever I seem to turn of the APU all of my screens turn off. Could anybody help with this?

Right arrow key held down and mouse to look in the direction you want to face :)
Uhh, is it normal that my Ground Power is unavailable when the battery is off?
Yep, your batteries have to be on for you to use ground power.
Edit: I've had too, but by looks of this video, no.
I figured that out after I posted it
I didn’t feel like changing/delete though
Also, why won’t my cockpit lights work?
Well I did exactly what you show on this video and could not get engines to come on. I have default B737-800 loaded on X-plane 11.
Don't know why engines won't come on. I spent a good deal of time on this with no luck. Any advise???

I get a fault when I try and start APU .
Cold start on the runway with no grownd power is kinda of hit and miss .. works but is tricky
How?? You just use batt and stand by power
When i turn my apu off all of the systems turn off
I think the engines are not supplying power to the airplane what should i do?
make sure you click the gen 1 and gen 2 switches after engine start to supply power before turning off the apu
When I turn off apu my systems turn off ! Whyy
Make sure your generators are on and that your engines are running.
Planetarygamers okay I’ll see when I can play so today in the evening in 11hrs
Thxxxx lol cause I may have accidentlly shut it off in air and I didn’t know how to turn it on u saved it thx
What a bout NAV- and strobelights?
Wow. Great tutorial. Very simple and to the point...
Thank you! We really do our best and hope it was very informative for you! :)
When I turn off the APU my instruments turn off. Help?
so i bring it from cold to pre start, get the jetways, get pushback clearence, then start once I Pushback?
Yes you topically dont start engines at the gate... do it during pushback
How do you get the ATC online?
my ground power wont turn on
My Apu is failing? what do i do?
make more videos you saved my life ma dude

that is cabin altitude turn off apu bleed after everything is set and then turn on engine bleed and set the crz and land altitude on the overhead panel
When I was sitting at the gate I realized it there was an indicator that said fuel but idk how to get it off
My APU won’t go all the way up it will go back and forth from 6 and 4
Pretty sure that means its on. You should hear a sound that sounds like a generator running and see exhaust out of the tail of the plane if its on.
That’s because the default 737 has an update to make it more realistic like the battery guard starts the battery instead of the switch
