PMDG 747 FMC tutorial part1

[nathanfishing3000]

why it says for me that im at -7642 feet and it says my flaps are at full

[thedreamliner2012]

Nice vid. I have a problem. When climbing to FL300 at 1800 fpm (on autopilot) the plane takes an extreme nose up attitude and bleeds off speed to the point I begin to stall. What am I doing wrong? Even when I get to level flight, the nose is still 20 deg high. Any help would be very much appreciated. One nice thing about us flight simmers, is we all help each other, which is why you posted the vid to begin with ;)

[cornell3206]

Thanks this helped a lot 

[CaptainMike97]

I'm getting the product in 2-3 days and I'm already watching this! So then I know what to do when I get it. You've helped me with the Captain Sim 757, now you've helped me with the PMDG 747! Thanks man!

[glasswings21]

How would you type in the airways on your own? how do ya confirm those airways and whats your source please let know ....thanks!

[Pulsemax]

hey just a question about your horizon screen.. why is it black>? this happens to me to after starting cockpit from cold n dark.

[ALiiSTAiiR]

Why when I first load the plane are the instruments fine, but once I follow these instructions, they go like yours at the beginning of the video?

[TheSPARTANkp97]

how do you know the waypoints?



[guigoncio97]

and does the fmc does the changes on the autopilots speed , altitude automatically?

[guigoncio97]

how does the fmc knows where those waypoints are ?

[SteveGad]

You're a life saver. Thanks for taking the time to explain this. I only just got the PMDG 747-400 and was struggling to get to grips after flying the tock 747's for so long, using the Satnav type interface. Thanks a lot.

[Fragem420]

you dind't explain anything about the waypoints you idiot. How could you leave that out you retard

[marko071988]

@Fragem420 Ouch, this is going to hurt, if you had been bright enough to check my other vids, you would have realized I made a tutorial about flight planning long ago... Yeah, I bet you feel pretty shitty right now ahahahahah!!

[Dablid77]

@Fragem420 asshole

[cantollie324]

how do you know what the airways are

[MrPranoy]

How do you get the info about the way points please?

[NSRacer114]

i watched the flight planning tutorial, i still don't understand according to what do i need to select the SID and STAR. and my SID list in the FMC is empty even though i have the txt files in the pmdg folder

[TheFlyingLaurens]

how do you know that your flaps have to be 20 

[crazym26]

Ummmm on my PMDG 747 i always start out with 22% fuel and when i change it on the fuel and payload options nothing happens also how do i find out the waypoints from different airports

[ceconk123]

@crazym26 You have to change the fuel from add-ons tab at top select PMDG and you'll see fuel there.You can find waypoints by using a flight planning software.Like FSBuild 2

[danny3902]

how do u find out the airways

[DillandShaj]

Thank you do much I subbed!

[vtsax01]

Realy great video.. Thanks

[LuckyBambooExpert]

@z34gtp9395 I apologize for my language, I was just very frustrated. I guess this level of flight sim addons is just not for me. Sorry again.

[syafiqpilot]

WHY DOES IT KEEP ON REPEATING "ENTER IRS POSITION" ??! I did enter but it keep on repeating ! ANYONE HELP PLEASE !

[NateTheGreatPilot]

@TheMinimalover

simroutes . com

[micxen]

I dont understand. If you look at your FMC under thrust limit, then in the right corner it says "to N1" but in my FMC it says "To EPR". is there any difference?? :S

[levelat350]

OUT OF ALL THE PMDG PRODUCTS,I ONLY KNOW HOW TO PUSH THE PLANE BACK USING THE PMDG MD-11.I AM ALSO VERY COMFORTABLE WITH THE PMDG 747 AND MD-11.

[jordan4541]

how do you know which waypoints to enter?

[indianDreamCatcher1]

well done!

[sfgiantsPOSEY28]

Thanks man!!! [:

[benzipz]

does anybody know a good website that already have all the flight plans made up thnx :D

[DHMaNiAc770]

hey where do we find the way points?

[philtorrens]

So he tells you what he is doing without explaining to the common man why? The FMC can be configured much quicker if you know what you are doing (poster does not).

[KCBOYZ1307]

I tried the Aligning IRS's step like 5 times and it's not working

[aircanadaflyer]

would it be posable for you to send me the whole flight plan as i am new to this thanks my email is m.matteis@shaw.ca

[VNTO3]

Which gate did you start off for departure at LFPG?

[201andrew]

wow. im starting to get all of this so quickly. thanks!!!!!!

[KooKas2oo8]

All those who want to know how you get the waypoints, I asked the same question and did alot of Googling. I found a helpful website designed for this exact purpose, going to try and post it, don't know if it will work or not.

rfinder(dot)asalink(dot)net(sl­ash)free

Use your common sense, replace the dots and slashes with their respective characters. Enjoy! :D

[marko071988]

@LuckyBambooExpert Since so many people get it working using this tutorial, I'll have to say you're a retard... sorry for you!

[LuckyBambooExpert]

@marko071988 I apologize for my language, I was just very frustrated. I guess this level of flight sim addons is just not for me. Sorry again.

[awesomeburodude]

@marko071988 fuck you faggot you make a tutorial to help people, not to call them retards (like your self) so stfu if ur gonna make tutorials.

[marko071988]

@awesomeburodude I took time to make these tutorials, and consider that when people spit on my hard work, it is my right to answer back ;). And it's certainly not a little prick like yourself (one word by the way) who's going to tell me what to do! Piss off sucker!

[benzipz]

@LuckyBambooExpert

 this does work you fuckin dick jog on :D

[FSXflyer12]

So I have all my stuff in my FMC, how do I get the auto pilot to follow the route its very annoying can anyone help me with this so i can fly thanks

[KYLEAKAFLYBOIK]

when i enter any waypoints into the FMC it says not in database can some one help me with that

[kido3002]

it wont let me put J537 in it says invalid enterie PM me if you know the answer Thanks :D

[YouXBE]

@marko071988 Why It Have 3 AUTOPILOTS? We Need To Have Switch On Only 1? Or...? How It Is?

[FsimulatorX]

@YouXBE each autopilot has a diffrent function

[monster060357]

@YouXBE This is used when you are doing an autoland as 3 Autopilots are needed for this

[Knightfall0805]

How do you find these flight routes

[averredude101]

Ok I have a real problem. Say I fly from france to new york the route takes me half way over the atlantic but it takes me back to france and then goes to new york. And all the time the route is not efficient. Please help. Know any other better flight plan? I use flight aware

[saitekrumblepad]

very helpful,thanks

:)

[madzane94]

Your awesome.. xD

I'm a noob at boeing... i rather Airbus' simple fmc..

But how do find the waypoints? :S

[madzane94]

How Do you Know which waypoints to pass!! Especially on fsx with no waypoint map.

[averredude101]

How do you make the fmc fly the route? after takeoff I try to make the fmc fly the route it self like on yours but it wont.

[BABUSHKA29]

When i switch to align my screens show hardly anything and have a yellow map thing in the middle. then when i switch it back to nav they are the same and dont go back to normal. what do i have to do?

[averredude101]

Is this what real airline pilots do on the fmc before flight and airborne. Or is this just fsx fun? I want to be a real pilot and I was wandering if its something to do for real.

[YerRBZ]

@averredude101 real pilots too They do way more then this though.

[mariojorge97]

Where to download airac?

[2008philliesfan]

cost index is simulated it determines cruising altitude spped

[mamn15]

where are the Nav radios?

[sushi064]

When I pressed EXEC to activate the flight plan under the Activate screen/button, nothing happened and if it did I couldn't get the view knob for the displays over to PLAN.

[reco217]

if i get a perf/vnav unavaible message..what have i done rong...or what shud i do to correct this?

[AmericanFrenchM]

@reco217 I never got that I don't think... did you enter the whole flightplan correctly?

[reco217]

@AmericanFrenchM i figured it out...i needed to enter a cost index..i thought it didnt matter but seemingly it does

[marko071988]

@reco217 Don't know, sorry...

[dwildkat]

@reco217 I also Experienced that, It means your perf page is not completely programmed. Check if you're missing something, like your altitude or cost index

[mfastx]

one question, if you create your flight plan before you start your flight, (in the FSX menu) will the waypoints be entered for you? How do i remember all of those lol?

[marko071988]

@mfastx There's a way to import the fs flight plan but I've never done it. Try googling it to find the answer.

[emiloss91]

@mfastx you can print these points. the pilot always have flight plan with points ;) he can't remember every points because it's easy to make an error.

[konar96]

umm do i have to cerect the altitude of each waypoint or does the FMC do it aoutomaticly

[marko071988]

@konar96 It normallly does it automatically once you entered the flight level.

[MusicLover11325]

@marko071988 wait, im really confused those waypoints are they gonna be different everytime you go in a different destination? so we just copy everything you do? except the airport details?

[marko071988]

@MusicLover11325 Ahahahah, of course not, they change for all flightplans!

[MusicLover11325]

@marko071988 Then how do you get all these are they required? how do you find the waypoints??

[marko071988]

@MusicLover11325 Watch my video on flightplanning!

[aolambros]

You should enter the SID before you enter your route so you don't get the Disco's

[marko071988]

@aolambros First, thanks for watching all the video before commenting, second, I'm not sure that's the way you do it, knowing that the legs page is the second page of the route page, it makes more sense to enter the waypoints then rather than after, but I'm no pro!

[Jonthepilot1]

but the thing is my instant setting isn't working at all, it just jumps back to 10 mins. And after 10 mins I waited for it to align i put it to nav when the time dissapears it still did not align!!

[Jonthepilot1]

also how do you know all the waypoints and legs you enter, is there a website or something you can find the waypoints?

[marko071988]

@Jonthepilot1 Watch my vid on flight planning. choose in PMDG options instant alignment, it should make this easier.

[Jonthepilot1]

when you set the irs line, its supposed to enter into the "set IRS position" and then dissapear right? but my numbers just stay there and dont dissapear, it this because i didnt set it to instant? and also my instant setting isnt working and it does not align itsself after 10 mins

[all4golf]

Do you have a problem when starting it up that sometimes there are errors on the thrust LCD display in yellow like you have at the start of this vid? Sometimes I start free flight and everything is working perfectly and others initially the IRS is turned off and there are a lot of errors, any ideas?

[marko071988]

@all4golf No not really sorry...

[me1433]

hey, my thrust limit page seems to be displayed in terms of EPR, not N1%, anyone know how to change this?

[marko071988]

@me1433 Don't know why, sorry...

[vaccine23]

easy flight planning is the app's name?

[vaccine23]

how do you know which airway to use?

[marko071988]

@vaccine23 Sorry I replied to the wrong comment. But both are linked: watch my video on easy flight planning to understand how you get the flight plan.

[averredude101]

Sorry another question. How should you do the heading while cruising. Does the FMC tell you the heading?

[marko071988]

@averredude101 Yes it does but you don't really need it as the FMC controls the plane.

[averredude101]

Where do you get the flight plan from?

[marko071988]

@averredude101 Same answer as below, check out my vid oon glight planning

[averredude101]

@marko071988 What is the video called. You have 120 videos and it will take for ever

[marko071988]

@averredude101 It's called easy flight planning for fs.

[ThePeanut501]

Can you please tell me how you know which stars to use?

[marko071988]

@ThePeanut501 Watch my vid on flight planning.

[gapper37]

OK that worked but when I try to press Approach on the autopilot it says no autoland. The Loc works but the approach doesnt.

[marko071988]

You need a CATIII Ils to do an autoland.

[gapper37]

How do you manually enter the ILS frequency? The word park is in the way

[marko071988]

You need to enter the ILS frequency, slash the heading.

[Anubizthot]

is there a way to save the fligth plans??? like the MD11

[marko071988]

Yes, but I don't know how to do it. Yet it's explained somewhere in the manuals :)

[Anubizthot]

thx ill check  =)

[oherregud]

I got the same quastion as Loveassin69

[marko071988]

Well I have the same answer to the same question: watch my vid on flightplanning!

[loveasin69]

how you get the way points ????

i mean how u know the letters

[marko071988]

watch my vi on easy flightplanning

[Redskins1726]

Hi. nice vid. I was wondering how you are flying with a SID? Are you flying a VFR flight in the sim? (which the flight plan you entered is an IFR.) I was wondering because I want to fly with SIDS and STARS, but sometimes when I call for clrearence from ATC, they say that only IFR flights are being performed at the airport. Please help

[marko071988]

ATC doens't handle SIDS and STARS, so I fly without using it.

[Flyglobespan93]

make sure when you file a flightplan you have IFR selected and not VFR

[marko071988]

Watch my vid on easy flightplanning.

[JustinnnnChannel]

Cruising alt is a little bit to low. You can set FL410!

[marko071988]

It's from a real flight.

[JustinnnnChannel]

@marko071988 Than it's very low. you can set easy FL410. Or more :P

[marko071988]

Yeah I know, you already told me... I was just saying that I got that altitude from a real flightplan. The average altitude a b747-400 would fly at is 35 000 ft actually.

[lsuperior]

do you need to use the autopilot if you are using the fmc?

[marko071988]

Well they are meant to work together.

[Mr99Padda]

are you starting from paris?

[marko071988]

Yes, LFPG is Paris Charles de Gaulle.

[percboy93]

@sawtrycolts panel switcher at COM on the right... TA/RA switch... u can test first...

[AmericanFrenchM]

ON THE COMMUNICATION PANEL!!!

[flightsimmerx]

Ok thanks alot!!!

[marko071988]

Did you watch the tutorial? It shows how to do it...

[FeuerwehrWedel]

I have done all waht do you have sad!

[marko071988]

Well you delete when it says "enter irs position", and you copy the gps position line into the irs position line...

[mfsxazsimulator]

goto 1:30 . He says it there. Its really easy

[flightsimmerx]

So like you could do it with all the fmc set up you did but all you got to do is go to the departure arrival page and select an ILS runway and select an approach speed and that is it.

[marko071988]

Yeah! and turn on the APP mode.

[flightsimmerx]

Ok thanks marko! Can you make an autoland tutorial because I am stuck on that and really want to learn that and I am going to definately subscribe to your channel!!

[marko071988]

I don't think I'll be doing any more vids unfortunately, don't have the time. But I can help you with autolands though. You need to make sure the runway has a CATIII ILS and then you do a normal ILS approach and leave the AP on until you're down on the ground.

[flightsimmerx]

I really need your help marko I takeoff and I put the VNAV LNAV and the Flight Director switch on and it wont let me put the main autopilot switch on and it keeps on going up if you let go of the controls it just doesnt do anything it is supposed to do and I did all the FMC setup that you had done to.

[marko071988]

You can only turn on the main AP when you've taken off.

[flightsimmerx]

To marko071988 what autopilots do you have on when you take off like VNAV LNAV cause I put those on and my plane would not fly itself pleas help me.

[marko071988]

When you take off, LNAV and VNAV are just armed, no on. they'll be turned on by turning on the main AP.

[antichavista1000]

THANK YOU SO MUCH marko071988 ,I had a lot of trouble setting the IRS with the FMC ,and trust me I have seen almost all the tutorials around,I even learn much more than I need it ,Thanks ;-)

[marko071988]

Glad I helped!!

[raeme100]

hey good tut , however i do know how to get from point A to point B :) but i just use the export dll for fsnav and just enter it under co route. this enters yoru entire route which leaves you free to edit it or carry out other tasks

[marko071988]

Thanks, but I don't get what you mean...

[raeme100]

FSNAV is a program for FS2004 & FSX where you can enter a flightplan. The program can also fly the aircraft from an AP control panel though I dont use that but i do use the FSNAV for making a FP only and then use the FMC to fly the bus.

You can download a DLL file which enables you to export and FP from FSNAV directly into the FMC of any PMDG aircraft

If you want FSNAV & The Export DLL then just shout me a pm and al do up a set of Instructions .

[britishpride2]

hey, i just want to fly direct to the arrivel airport. i dont really care about diffrent waypoints, jetways or SIDS/STAR. If there a way of just putting a simple flight plan with just the departure airpot and arrivel airport and getting the fmc to give me a route to fly direct without having to put loads of waypoints in?

thanks

[marko071988]

Well i guess you can just enter the departure and arrival airports and press on execute.

[britishpride2]

i have tried this but all i get is a dotted purple line, not a soild one, anymore idears?

thanks

[marko071988]

did you press on execute?

[britishpride2]

yeah, the cud went blank for a few seconds like it was loading the flight plan but there was no soild line on the Map.

[marko071988]

Weird... did you try doing the whole thing over?

[britishpride2]

i have tried setting just two waypoints manytimes and i still get the same result, the cud goes blank when i press execute but then nothing happens on the map. have you tried setting the two waypoints and does the same happen to you?

[marko071988]

It works fine for me. Try reinstalling or contacting PMDG...

[britishpride2]

hmmm, could you just quickly write up the steps that you did to get this to work and i will give it another go. Hope this works, thanks

[marko071988]

If you get a black screen it's because there's a problem within the software, I don't think you are doing anything wrong, especially if you follow the tutorial and adapt it to your flight. I think PMDG can help you better than me.

[britishpride2]

o.k, will do. Thanks for all your help and i wlll defo subscibe to your channle

[JGthenumberone]

lol i subscribed! its so good thanks!

[marko071988]

It's my pleasure!!

[Scandinavian10]

You went over 265kts :)

[marko071988]

What do you mean?

[guidodeukuzeta1234]

THANKS A MILLION THANKS

[guidodeukuzeta1234]

how do you know the waypoints you have to go to??

[marko071988]

Watch my vid on flight planning.

[plaady]

what is a sid??? or something you say at 4:56 ??

[marko071988]

SID stands for standard instrument departure. It gives you the path you need to follow to leave the aiport area.

[cammaro08]

hey dude...umm whenever i am on cruise with the pmdg 747,when i increase the simulation rate to like 8x....mi engines like loose power to almost abt idle and then it rises back up..when it happens soo mi autothorttle disengages(not the autopilot)...i was wondering if it happens to u too?

[marko071988]

Yeah, it's a real pain. I just put in back on and after a few times it stops doing it.

[cammaro08]

i found an another way...just close the fuel x valve and then u can put it to 16x and it wont happen...buh it can cause major balancing problem

[marko071988]

Oh ok, thanks for that!

[FlightX101]

Try using 4X not 8X it might work.

[starjay01]

Could u please tell me how u got the flightplan information for your flight ? without this information I cannot fly this wonderful aircraft.

[marko071988]

Watch my vid on easy flight planning!!
