I've been learning German for a month or so and I swear watching your videos helps me pronounce better. Every time you say an english word with german accent I say it out loud with an exagerated german accent.

Haha, not exactly the kind of "tutorial" my videos are intended as, but if it helps 😂

Finally! You read my mind, I opened KZfaq thinking “wow if only 73ng driver would make a great detailed video about the HUD” and here it is! Thanks as always

Ein weiteres fantastisches Video von dir! Ich fliege die 737 schon seit vielen Jahren, beginnend mit FSX, aber dank deiner Arbeit konnte ich mein Wissen deutlich erweitern. Mach weiter so! :)

Thanks for this very informative video. The HGS system is much more complex than I thought.👍

Indeed it is Johan, but once you got the grips with it, it becomes really second nature to use it.

Super Video, endlich ist das HUD mal verständlich erklärt! Gruß aus OOMS

@tomstravels520 Жыл бұрын

Could you do a short video (or explanation here) about the AUTO ignition option? When does it come on automatically and when do you still need to switch it to CONT/FLIGHT modes? Also same for the auto probe heats.

On the list for a future video.

I'm a lot more comfortable using the HUD on approach and landing. As it gives you greater situational awareness. Conversely I'm not comfortable using the HU3on takeoff as I seem to not pitch up enough.. Its weird...

@A330Driver Жыл бұрын

I'll have a video covering the takeoff using the HUD up very soon. It's already available for channel members to pre-view it and will come for everyone in the next few days or week or so.

I highly recommend people interested in the HGS to watch Chris Brady’s lengthy video on it.

Playing DCS a lot of the time, I spend a great deal of time looking thru a HUD. It’s nice to see some of this tech being used in civil aviation. I don’t honestly know how much it is used in RL.

@johnknapp952 Жыл бұрын

Unfortunately, the current MSFS version of the 737 doesn't include the Operational Manuals that came with earlier versions (FSX and PD3). So unless you have the older manuals you'll have to rely on videos like this or find the manuals online someplace.

@A330Driver Жыл бұрын

Yep, that's due to the licensing agreement with Boeing which doesn't allow it anymore.

Sometimes in STBY box it says IMC AIII how can it be both IMC and AIII mode? Anyone know?

Emanuel, it's really amazing, I was thinking just few days ago how it would be great if you could do a video regarding the HGS, and here we are... thank you very much, fantastic content.

I’m interested to see if PMDG add EVS at some point.

@A330Driver Жыл бұрын

I don't think so, EVS is only available in some BBJ and military versions but not even in the "common" BBJs, let alone in any passenger version of the plane.

Very informative video quick question how is runway length inputted in feet?

@otto9468 Жыл бұрын

The control panel for the HUD is a little bit weird. All documentation I've found for PMDG said, the runway length must be entered in feet. There is an old thread on the forums about this. Are you sure we need to enter rw length here in meters? Also according to the manual for the HGS model 4000, the unit indicator should be after the number and not before. So, I'm confused. :)

@otto9468 Жыл бұрын

PMDG confirmed, we need to enter feet for length and elevation and there is no way to change the units.I hope they will fix this in the future.

@A330Driver Жыл бұрын

The units required are mentioned in the indicator. The PMDG unit looks exactly like the unit in the manuals. Including the positioning of the units indication. If PMDG confirmed to you that you have to enter feet, then they've bugged up the system. The inicator clearly shows M and not F.

@fsturtle7525 Жыл бұрын

After enabling the HGS, the HUD display is very small. It takes me quite a while to adjust my position to make the HUD display fit within the HUD panel. Is there a faster way? Pressing the manual/auto button on the HGS just make it very small or nothing.

Why do we do not get a Head Up Display at all planes. I only get them in some liveries and not in others, is there a setting for it in the FMC?

@A330Driver Жыл бұрын

Most 737s don't have it in real life. It's in the equipment options.

@tigert4058 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for this! One question: when setting the elevation on the hgs mode panel would you set the tdze listed on the approach plate or just the field elevation?

@A330Driver Жыл бұрын

You'd use the TDZ elevation as that is where you want your runway to be drawn.

@tomstravels520 Жыл бұрын

So is the HUD only for the captain in the real aircraft?

@iaexo Жыл бұрын

Yes

@A330Driver Жыл бұрын

No, HUDs are available for both sides to purchase. However a single HUD costs about half a million dollars and a second one does not add any operational benefit for the operator and thus would literally only add additional situational awareness for the second pilot and an enormous cost. For this reason I do not believe anyone actually has it fitted on both sides.
