Beginners guide (and first time) starting the PMDG Boeing 777-300 from cold and dark in Flight Sim
Рет қаралды 10,495
Since the PMDG Boeing 777-300 was made available to us mortals, I have been busy writing up procedures and having a play with the aircraft. In the video I (mostly) work through my own notes and get the aircraft up and running from cold and dark - illustrating once again why it's good to follow a checklist (I don't at one point, and get bitten) :)
You can download the startup procedure here (it's a functional procedure, with most of the real-world checks and double-checks removed):

@@jonbeckettNope. Airliners are typically handed over to the crew in a powered up state, not cold and dark although we simmers enjoy the challenge. Mainly it’s so the ground engineers can do some reviews and checking over, and also warm up a number of the systems that take some time to get to proper operating status. Plus, you do not make your $400,000/yr pilots have to turn on their own aircraft, lol.

Thank you Jonathan for another quality tutorial, I am more an Airbus pilot and trying to switch to Boeing has required some effort and this B777-300ER definitely was a slight challenge in getting started up (I won't lie) but this tutorial was by far the best I've watched since the release. You were easy to follow along to and went through the steps without it being to overwhelming or complicated, I did decide to support you by purchasing the B777-300ER & B737-800 checklists and they are brilliant and so easy to flow through.

According to another pilot, he mentioned no need to wait to enage the fuel switches - once you click to start, flip the fuel switcj. Although - you do have to start engine 2 first.

When your parking brakes are engaged, the 777 is designed to "release" when you press toe brakes - the parking brake switch will release automatically.
@DoctorShocktor 5 күн бұрын
Yeah, but PMDG even currently admits their parking brake logic needs some work and they’re looking into it. Currently the parking brake can be hard to release even with holding the brakes on, depending on your hardware, and also the PB lever can appear up OR down in it’s animation, yet the systems will indicate a locked PB. They will probably simplify the parameters a bit… even though yes there is a “realistic” and “simple” setting.

Jon, these were everywhere I went the last day or so. I had to laugh when I saw you in yours yesterday in central UK somewhere (probably filming this). Has to be one of the most popular planes not currently on the MSFS Marketplace. These videos you do are priceless for people like me, so thanks. Some people go through the procedures too quickly but your pace is quite comfortable (pause function included, of course). Not only do you not switch off when it comes to creating content, I spend a good deal of time referring to your videos. Might have to buy you a coffee. 👍🏼🙏

Unlike the 737 you do not need to wait for 18 or 25 % N2 when you start the engines. Immediately after you turn the start knob to start position you can introduce the fuel by switching the switch to the up position. The computer will take care of the startup procedure automatically. You better validate it and update the guide.

Nice. I notice no-one playing MSFS seems to wait for engine spool-up before going to TOGA. Is there a setting to have MSFS throw in random real-world problems, e.g. one engine slightly slow to spool up so you'd get initial asymmetrical thrust.

I just noticed this, too, when you pressed toga you did it right from idle. Normally, would you not advance the throttles manually to 60 pct, check if they are stabilized, and THEN press Toga?

@Q3ark 5 күн бұрын
To release the parking brake just press and hold the button you have assigned to the toe brakes, the lever will release and you’ll be good to go. Think of the parking brake as a lever that holds the toe brakes on as opposed to the parking brake in a car that works independently to the foot brake.
@DoctorShocktor 5 күн бұрын
@@Q3arkIt’s not quite that simple - you have to HOLD the toe brakes ON FOR THREE SECONDS, as they’re simulating building up pressure. But even then it can be squirrelly. PMDG is looking into it.
