Hi Sjoerd, as a long time follower of your channel, I always enjoy your videos, and I find that you manage to convey the main pluses and minuses of the acf you test fly. This was a very good example of that, thank you and happy flying, Cheers

Thanks Sjoerd for showing us this mod. I had seen it somewhere else recently, but you have been far easier to follow, so I now feel I could give it a try. I am admittedly more of an Airbus man, but have used the Zibo 737 and the FF B757. Both of these seem to set a ToD very late and then drop out of the sky, so I have tended to start the descent at least 20 miles earlier than they calculate. Also below 10,000 feet I find it easier to fly them with vertical speed mode rather than following the VNAV. I dare say a lot of this is due to my inexperience with Boeings though. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos!

@0321Sjoerd 10 ай бұрын

Thanks for your reaction! Zibo has been updated a lot recently and is now of outstanding quality. FF757 needs a lot of work in XP12… In real life crews will use vertical speed or Level Change combined with heading select more often, because ATC will usually interfere with the planned route. But when you can use VNAV it should behave differently then it’s currently doing in the Sparky mod. It’s still well worth a try though!

What trim are you using? Stab trim? Pitch? Etc

Hello, have you find a way to use the HOPPIE ACARS with the plane ? The manual says it needs a provider but I'm not sure what it means. I've been using HOPPIE with other planes without problems before. Seems complicated to configure it with this aircraft :p

Honestly that 3D model needs some HUUUUGE Rework.. But it had nice system and I am sure it flies well too

@0321Sjoerd 9 ай бұрын

Yes, but for a mod of a default airplane it really isn't bad.

That looks more like a 747-8 (SSG?) With 400 wings and engines!

hello could you help me why my vnav doesnt work? it always says PERF/VNAV UNVAILABLE thank you.

@0321Sjoerd 10 ай бұрын

You’ll have to insert the performance data by filling the PERF INIT page. See 18:37 in the video. If you don’t fill that page and Execute it VNAV will not work.

Hi Sjoerd, thx so much for this video, really appreciated🙏🙏.. I`ve leant a lot of new things with this model, only thing I'm stil struggling with is setting the ILS freq and course in the FMC for the airport I want to land at. I know how to enter the info in the NAV RAD but as soon as I enter a freq it loads a totally different airport automatically, can`t seem to load the freq/course manually. And yes you are so right; the 747 is still for me as well, the most beautiful commercial aircraft out there. The true Queen of the Sky....🤩

@0321Sjoerd Ай бұрын

Thanks for the kind words! At 55:48 in this video I enter the ILS by inserting the identifier in stead of the frequency/course. Maybe you can try that aswell and see if it works better.

@nutlangsworld Ай бұрын

@@0321Sjoerd The identifier worked perfectly thank you so much Sjoerd.. Just did a flight from FAOR to FACT.. I also tried different airport ILS settings in the FMC and by entering just the identifier it programs the correct Freq/Course...👍👍🙏🙏

Hello, is it possible to import a Simbrief plan ?

@Paul-td8qs 12 күн бұрын

Yes it is. I found just clicking on the Route brought the Simbrief plan into the FMC. Failing that, type in the route e.g. YMMLYSSY01 and it will load.

@paull502 11 күн бұрын

Click on the Route button and if you have saved a Simbrief flight plan to XPlane 12 FMS folder it will appear on the FMC. Never failed for me but if for any reason your plan doesn't show just type in the saved plan name (e.g. YMMLYSSY01) and click it in.

@Paul-td8qs 12 күн бұрын

I will try it again but the one flight I made with this aircraft saw all the engines spool down to idle as soon as I switched off the autothrottle at 500'. Nothing I tried would retrieve power. Any thoughts anyone - would be appreciated.

in the US flight levels begin at 18,000 so it being a Boeing maybe why it shows 16000. when do flight levels start in europe? also i cant get the top of descent to work properly in this plane, the vnav tries to kill me every time

@0321Sjoerd 2 ай бұрын

Flight levels start above the transition altitude. The transition altitude varies per airport in Europe. It’s always mentioned on the charts, so you always have to read them carefully.
