In this video you'll get a full guide on how to go from cold and dark through to takeoff in the PMDG Boeing 777-300ER for MSFS! I'll use my real world experience as a long haul Boeing pilot to give you the tips for how to operate this fantastic aircraft like the real world!

I am a real world Airline pilot with thousands of hours flying the real aircraft and thought it would be fun to have a look at the detailed simulations of airliners in MSFS and X Plane. Hopefully you find this useful and it brings another perspective to your simulation. Any thoughts or comments are welcome!

Great video, thank you! Small nitpick: I don´t know if it has something to do with your recording software, but the mouse cursor is always off the button / option you are clicking. I found myself mumbling "WTF is he doing" for a minute or two at the beginning 🤣

@meguro7773 3 күн бұрын

I was about to write exactly the same. Absolutely great video but with you seeming to keep clicking on 'wrong' buttons all the time (below the buttons you are actually clicking) makes it a bit harder to follow, probably because of the recording software 🙂

May well be that, or he has lens correction on within the sim which causes some distortion.

Hi Captain, You are thé best instructor ever 👏 👏 👏 !!! I’ve been watching ma-ny videos/streams but no-one explains an aircraft like you do. It’s very nice to understand, not “overspeeding” spoken and in the meantime relaxing, as I am not English native. I just love your videos and streams. Best regards from Belgium 🇧🇪.

I love this video. Just one small thing while you were taxiing to the gate at Heathrow you wanted to fit in one of those gates, however, these are mostly for A320 family aircrafts. But on the final taxiway in the video you would have steered to the left you would have been correctly as the terminal 5 B serves for larger british airways aircrafts. But I love what you do.

Hi .. Super video, but I have one question. I noticed that when you click buttons or select things using the pointers, the actual pointer seems offset from the button. Is this an issue in the aircraft? For example, when you selected the MAXIT departure from EGLL, the pointer was actually pointing to a different selection.

@rangerrick8220 2 күн бұрын

Very good video! Questions - 1.) What is the first position UP on the fuel levers when starting? You push through this - what is it used for? And 2.) I thought TA/RA only went on once on the runway, not taxiing...?

@320SimPilot 2 күн бұрын

Thank you for watching! The fuel control switches have two positions, Run and Cutoff. So they are in cutoff until we start the engine. I think that is what you are referring to? For TA/RA you can do this whilst taxiing, it is inhibited on the ground so will not generate issues. I hope this helps!

Just a few things that are annoying for me. Didn't show how to set the plane in Cold and Dark status. Moving and looking around the cockpit needlessly causes confusion. Your mouse is not accurate and not pointed to the button you need to press. I still don't understand if the Left Fuel pump needs to be turned on or not. You say it on then you say it's not on, but then say it's on for the APU, but the On button is not pressed on. Which is it, Off or On? Didn't get the FMS setup, because just too confusing. Maybe I'll re-visit this some other time.
