Great video! Couple of things: - You use the GPS position not the airport reference for aligning...(as you hardly ever park at the reference point of the airport) -Generally you build the route starting with a SID, for that you get the ATIS, once you have the SID in you can build the route from there (in real life you request the route most of the time but I am unsure if that's an option) -On the MCP you set V2 not rotate speed. - You start all fuel pumps together with the hydraulics once the ground crew gives clearance to pressurize hydraulics. -there is no need to see N1 to put the fuel control switch to run and you start both engine at the same time on the 787. -(In most boeing aircraft you start the inboard engine first so when the tug is turning you you want the minimum moment to push against) -if you are flying from the left seat normally the EICAS is on the right and you have a big ND screen. -We do not look at any system pages unless something is wrong or we are operating a specific system. -We leave taxi and turnoff lights on for take-off. - You programmed an sid, a route, also an altitude, so normally you would arm LNAV and VNAV on the stand ...and it would activate at 50' +400' I am flying the 787 so I did not mean to pick on you as what you do is generally correct but I thought you would wanna know some details :)
Thank you for this! It is so awesome that real world pilots are chiming in for this community. If you stream this game it would be SO cool to see a FULL real world cold and dark startup from an actual 787 pilot. The 787 is the prettiest plane ever conceived (in my opinion), I hope to fly it one day. Too bad I am at 1500hrs and SkyWest is not hiring :( Oh well, we have this to hold us CFIs over until hiring opens up again.
I still think I am part of the simulator community, in fact I started flying simulators way before the real things (in 1996 😁) I do not have a proper PC for this game...but if someone wants to do a real setup and demonstrate it online i could help to make that happen. I am not sure if all the features are working in this (most likely not) but surely we can make it as realistic as possible. 👍🏻
@@CriticalMach It is a great aircraft and the HUD makes it feel like you are flying a video game, especially at night :D Hang in there there should be great demand for new pilots in a couple of years.
Hi, I am already a 787 pilot too , following the FCOM --> , it say that you need to build the route #1 first and then continue with the SID , have a good day
Great tutorial, but in case someone is watching this from OCTOBER 29. 2021 onwards, 787 has been updated in FS2020. if you just enter waypoints, it will automatically get the correct or the best airwaves for flight computer. just keep entering it, lot more simpler than the airbus 320neo. just enter main way points, activate it, and then select the departure routes and arrival approach respectively afterwards, smooth flight plan ready.
Another amazing video! I did everything you said to do on your 747 video, and it really helped me out. I'm about to do a flight on the 787 from New York to Miami, and this will definitely be my reference. Thank you!
Would you mind putting the link to the add on because every time I try downloading the 787 it wont show up in game even though it’s in my community files
Brilliant Drawyah, Thanks for this link (From the A320 tutorial you did earlier). This is rather similar to what i am used to in the B737 (From X-Plane11), but the cold start is much easier. Will dive into the Dreamliner for a flight tonight. Just finishing setting up my Graphics (Managing to squeeze out High End with FPS35 with cloud and rain, so hopefully this will be good enough to fly), then got to setup my controls and camera. Pity there is not a 3rd party program to copy all my settings from X-Plane to MSFS2020 Lol, save me a lot of work. Brilliant videos Drawyah, i will be catching up on your other FS vids over the next few long haul flights i'll be doing in the 787 DL.
May i know when should i turn on my APU, since i didnt see you turning it on at the start of the video but i just saw you turning it off, so i am a bit confused. Pls give me some help, thx.
The radio is self-explanatory for the most part. The bigger, outer wheel controls the main number (118-135) while the inner, smaller wheel controls what's after the decimal point (000-995). You set the standby number and click on the two arrows to switch between standby and primary.
Hey guys, I'm a newbie to flight sims. I've just been learning and fumbling my way around by watching RUclips videos, reading FS2020 forums, etc. But Drawyah's knowledge is really comprehensive! Is this how most people learn or are there good sources of structured training out there?
I'm glad you have found these videso helpful! For me personally I did a lot of my own learning from video tutorials and trial & error, but ultimately in a simulator case, use whichever method works for you!
When entering the runway you don't turn off the taxi lights. You take off with it on, land with it on. In fact all lights go on during takeoff and landing including the runway turn-offs except the wing and logo lights which depend on weather and time of day.
I’m playing on the series x. Msfs just came out and there seems to be a few bugs with autopilot and flight planning. Sometimes the waypoints do not connect while I use simbrief and when I use the fms to plug in my arrival runway etc, the autopilot disconnects. I hope they fix this! Great video
@@sebastianthehotsaucedude5473 no my throttle is completely fine my autopilot works quite well on the 787 it’s mainly the a320 I’m having issues with. However there are some annoyances with things such as changing the altitude and verticals speed as when I try and change it it will increase or decrease by a lot causing it to go everywhere
I am having insane issues with auto pilot, especially when on approach. The LNAV / VNAV are atrocious, have you had similar issues? Feel like I'm going crazy. Will not obey altitude limit on legs page, refuses to capture LOC/ILS.
I had the wierd problem that the plane refused to descend when I put in a new altitude... probably some button I had to press or pull, which I didn't know about until recently xD gonna try that again^^
I had the same issues. My passengers didn't have a great time flying with me hehe. I only reached stable flight at 340kt (the nose kept going up and down), I couldn't trust v/s mode, hold alt didnt work, during the descent the plane went down like a missile, in approach mode it just went skyrocket, the localizer activated by itself and then it went straight to the ocean. A nightmare!
He never did. There is a bug with that plane and he somehow managed to cut the part where he tinkered with the plane to start that damn APU. "Tutorial", lol
Yeah, I must admit I don't know why I skipped turning it on during the video! I definitly recorded myself starting it, just forgot to add the clip! All you need to do is hold the APU switch on START for 10 seconds, wait for it to become available then turn on the bleeds.
One thing I'm confused about is the flight plan. do you create one in the menu before starting the sim, or do you start without a flight plan and only use the waypoints from simbrief?
What are your thought on the new inbuilt flight planner? I feel it could really help someone who is new to flight sim. I've switched to it because of the ease of use, but i am missing details using it.
Are you starting with IFR (high altitude airways)? also are you leaving the arrival bar in the world map empty? Just wanna do it right when I go to program a flight plan.
@@Drawyah awesome thanks. Also if SimBrief gives me a runway to take off from but ATC tells me a different runway, what would be the procedure for inputting departure runway into MCDU?
There has been a cut to avoid a bug with APU generator. I don't see why you would avoid talking about it. In the entire video, you never touch the APU switch, and yet, between 0:57 and 8:21, it magically switches on. The 787 in MSFS has a bug. For a "tutorial" on how to start the plane up, it's sad.
hi, my autopilot doesnt work using the MSFS2020 787? Ive followed your vid, but once engaged it just flys straight and not follow the plan. Any suggestions? Thanks
Thanks for the great video! However, I have a question, my aircraft did not follow the planned routes, It went off course and seemed to be heading direct to the destination airport. I also got LNAV and VNAV on. Thank you in advance.
Hello! Quick question. Where are the seatbelt and no smoking sign buttons located in a 787? Just got the Premium Deluxe upgrade, and i really wanna know. Thanks!
Is there anyway to use „Direct to“ in the current state of the aircraft? I didnt really figure it out yet and this is essential for Vatsim. Thanks for any help!
Yes you can. There isn't a direct to button, but you can go direct to fixes and or airports. You would have to rebuild the route a little bit the same way he did it in the setup. The FMC looks at departure and destination. If you have waypoints in the legs/route it will go to those points first in order before the destination. You can add and delete waypoints to make the route you want. That would be the only way to go direct but you can do it. I've done it many times. The FMCs do not work like real boxes, but when they do, they will be much easier to use. The current state of the FMCs/FMSs is awful.
Like anson chain i am also looking for when you start the apu as via the checklist it says "when apu available" but how do i know WHEN it is available?
I must admit, skipping the APU was definitely not intentional, this is the first time in a year of video release I've realised I skipped over the startup for it! My apologies for that. On the overhead switch the APU starter to On then hold Start for 10 seconds. Where the APU bleed switches are, these will read 'Available'. Turn on the APU bleeds and disconnect ground power.
@@Drawyah thing is, the APU is super buggy on that plane (stock version). The available never shows, APU generator is shown as "on" when you load the simulator. I only succeed in turning the plane on because I hear the APU starting. It's very weird. Try the in-game checklist. This bug exist for a year, and Microsoft never fixed it.
planning to upgrade my flight sim from standard to premium deluxe! Although I don't know because MSFS keeps on freezing with the audio still playing but unable to click on the msfs window while it's frozen.
That’s a great video mate! May I ask, once I load more than 50% the fuel in the center tank, the 787 starts shaking a bit during taxi like if I have got a flat tire. (parking brakes are off, and it only happens in 787) Would you please let me know what I did wrong? I’m pretty new to airliners, thanks for the help!
I wonder if you're able to change the fuel level in the Perf Init page at all. I used the 'fuel truck' to get rid of a bunch of fuel, but my 787 still thinks it's 50% loaded.
Hi Drawyah ! I followed this tutorial step by step, everything went on well until it was time to switch on the fuel pumps, they won't just switch on hence the engines do not start. Please help !!!
I don't know if this is a new bug, but the autopilot screen (and only this) is completely black so I can't see what altitude or vertical speed I set ...
My ATC is greyed out and i cant actually select it to do anything at all. Even using the shortcut to bring up the interface doesnt work. I have all of this set to manual too. Any idea whats going on with that?
I'm learning to fly this plane in game, and I'm having problems with the FMS Config when it comes to routing. Is there a source material for inputs for the waypoints and airways? I'm trying to get it set to fly from Seattle (KSEA) to Cebu (RPVM) or even Narita (RJAA), but I don't know the waypoint/airway codes.
As I explain 30 seconds in, have a flightplan ready from simBrief which will include your entire routing and calculations for the FMS. ruclips.net/video/K7Y_OZH0J5g/видео.html
@@Drawyah I've noticed something odd while traveling at a high cruising altitude (39,000ft). The plane flies rather slow as going over 300 knots is considered overspeeding, despite the 787's cruising speed being 487.49 knots (561 mph), thereby making a nonstop flight from Seattle to Orlando much longer than it should (nearly over 8 hours compared to the usual 5hrs 30mins). Is there a way to remove the speed limiter, or is this feature built into the game and we can't do anything about it?
How do you switch to those different angles to look at those panels? Are there any special commands for this? And are there any tips to taxi with smooth turns?
Hey I was just hoping if you can help me I'm trying to fly the 787 in the aim but I use the main menu to file my flight plan but when I enter the sim I dont see it but when I check the vfr map I can see it
Great video tutorial! A minor gripe about the simulation: why does it feel like (as with other sims) that the airplane is floating on the runway and sliding around when taxiing (clearly noticable in external camera views when landing gear is visible). As if the tires aren't in contact with the ground and the whole airplane is just a huge hit box sliding around on the runway. Surely that can be improved, right?
may I ask why is the your boeing787 got more funtion then the one I have? I can’t even run the engine start button and there no light on when I press any of the light button ? Is this a bug for me or you are using a 787 mod ?
How do you get the auto throttle to work? I have the same settings but I have to manually keep moving the throttle to prevent overspeed / stall. I have select the AT & AP button, set the speed but it just ignores it. I think I've seen it working twice but can't seem to get it to work every time.

-Generally you build the route starting with a SID, for that you get the ATIS, once you have the SID in you can build the route from there (in real life you request the route most of the time but I am unsure if that's an option)
-On the MCP you set V2 not rotate speed.
- You start all fuel pumps together with the hydraulics once the ground crew gives clearance to pressurize hydraulics.
-there is no need to see N1 to put the fuel control switch to run and you start both engine at the same time on the 787.
-(In most boeing aircraft you start the inboard engine first so when the tug is turning you you want the minimum moment to push against)
-if you are flying from the left seat normally the EICAS is on the right and you have a big ND screen.
-We do not look at any system pages unless something is wrong or we are operating a specific system.
-We leave taxi and turnoff lights on for take-off.
- You programmed an sid, a route, also an altitude, so normally you would arm LNAV and VNAV on the stand ...and it would activate at 50' +400'

You need the Premium Deluxe version of Microsoft Flight Simulator for the 787. The community folder mod is only a cockpit upgrade.
Excellent walkthrough, even though I dont have MSFS (yet) this was very educational and fun to watch
I agree, i saw this video for the first time before i got msfs, and when i tried this out after getting the game, the tutorial worked perfectly
Cheers. Now I just need a tutorial on how to land one of these things :D
Put on autopilot and get a lap dance from the air hostess
Read the book "aerodynamics for dummys" and then "how to land a plane"
Lucky for you, there is one
Just manual landing
Really good effort. Keep it up buddy :)
Good tutorial. Now i have 6 hours do figure out how to land
yes a great help ... just need to keep going over all this till it sticks in my head .... great vid

after the battery if no external power. Before engine start if external power avaiable,
how do I squawk from standby to active for my transponder on the 787? Thanks!
You can load a PLN arquive with your route from Simbrief or use the sim's built in route manager.
Using the built-in planner automatically fills the FMS. It's your choice really.
what a great video WOW
Top work buddy!
I really appreactite this.
Please do a follow up with how to land, would be good following correct procedures etc.
A landing tutorial will come! Taught you how to get the plane flying, now to teach you to land it. 😉
Bro powerful takeoff from the runway I mean u literally took off from the runway like a rocket
Great video, just would have liked if you had explained how to operate the radio.
The radio is self-explanatory for the most part. The bigger, outer wheel controls the main number (118-135) while the inner, smaller wheel controls what's after the decimal point (000-995). You set the standby number and click on the two arrows to switch between standby and primary.

hey, could you say these things, like what exactly is the size of this, and also ive seen it has like a lot of editions, what edition did u take?
@John Smith yeah i mean thats what i wanted to know like does the cheap editons have atleast some good flights?
I own the Premium Deluxe version of MSFS, in total it was a 147gb download.
@John Smith 30 of the default are hand crafted, and orbx are releasing airports already
could you do a tutorial on the autopilot of the 787... it's quite complicated and finding a tutorial is not easy (noob here^^)
Thanks, one thing missing however... you skipped the APU start. You stop it before taxiing but never started it!
Yeah, I must admit I don't know why I skipped turning it on during the video! I definitly recorded myself starting it, just forgot to add the clip!
All you need to do is hold the APU switch on START for 10 seconds, wait for it to become available then turn on the bleeds.
could you add the cruise to decent to landing for each aircraft?
At some point I will!
Great video !, just one question are you using a mod for the plane because some of the swithces are inop for me, thanks.
Default 787 used here!
@@Drawyah ok, thankyou !
Anyone else getting swung left and right from the nav purple line? AP can't seem to stay in straight path
that is one big problem, so some folk are using the heading to each waypoint instead.Wasn't meant to be like this.

I like the planner, it does a decent job at creating routes, plus everything that's in the simulator will be there.
Are you starting with IFR (high altitude airways)? also are you leaving the arrival bar in the world map empty? Just wanna do it right when I go to program a flight plan.
Correct. Select a gate to spawn at, leave the arrival empty.
@@Drawyah awesome thanks. Also if SimBrief gives me a runway to take off from but ATC tells me a different runway, what would be the procedure for inputting departure runway into MCDU?
There has been a cut to avoid a bug with APU generator. I don't see why you would avoid talking about it. In the entire video, you never touch the APU switch, and yet, between 0:57 and 8:21, it magically switches on. The 787 in MSFS has a bug. For a "tutorial" on how to start the plane up, it's sad.
FMC departure question: On choosing your runway, how did you know what SID to choose? Is this in your simbrief flight plan? If so, where? Thanks
simBrief displays it as part of your flightplan, it will be the first and last node after and before the runways at either end.
@@Drawyah Thanks for your reply. I'll check that out.

Potentially an aircraft issue, not sure about a fix at this time!
Hey drawyah, with the v speeds on the takeoff page, yours filled in automatically. How did you do that?
Do you not need to input your fuel and C of G?? just wondering as i am following this for a flight??

always wanted to fly this. But i have standard edition, I hope I get premium for christmas.
Will Simbrief not auto-download the flight plan on this aircraft? Looks like you manually loaded all waypoints, etc.
Not on a default plane, no. There are mods that can enable this.
I wonder if you're able to change the fuel level in the Perf Init page at all. I used the 'fuel truck' to get rid of a bunch of fuel, but my 787 still thinks it's 50% loaded.
Well explained
when i put entry in via point itll show up but when i enter next code it'll say 1st index not found
Hi Drawyah !
I followed this tutorial step by step, everything went on well until it was time to switch on the fuel pumps, they won't just switch on hence the engines do not start. Please help !!!
I don't know if this is a new bug, but the autopilot screen (and only this) is completely black so I can't see what altitude or vertical speed I set ...
your voice reminds me of a english version of steven hawking
Steven Hawking...was English?

My ATC is greyed out and i cant actually select it to do anything at all. Even using the shortcut to bring up the interface doesnt work. I have all of this set to manual too. Any idea whats going on with that?
Hi, do you feel the calculated V1 and VR are too high? My plane start to nose up around 140 knots
It's normal for the plane to try to rotate before VR, you just have to keep the nose down before reaching VR
Doesn’t 787 start both engines at the same time since they use electric starters not bleed air ?
I've heard there is Autopilots issues with the Boeing aircraft of MSFS. Is this still an issue?
How to assign reverse thrust and TOGA? Normal control settings don't work
I've assigned my reversers to 'Decrease Throttle', it seems to do the trick!
You were flying class B airspace under 10000, and got over 250knots while still climbing.
I'm learning to fly this plane in game, and I'm having problems with the FMS Config when it comes to routing. Is there a source material for inputs for the waypoints and airways? I'm trying to get it set to fly from Seattle (KSEA) to Cebu (RPVM) or even Narita (RJAA), but I don't know the waypoint/airway codes.
As I explain 30 seconds in, have a flightplan ready from simBrief which will include your entire routing and calculations for the FMS.

@@Drawyah Somehow missed that. Thanks!
Not a problem, I hope it helps!
@@Drawyah I've noticed something odd while traveling at a high cruising altitude (39,000ft). The plane flies rather slow as going over 300 knots is considered overspeeding, despite the 787's cruising speed being 487.49 knots (561 mph), thereby making a nonstop flight from Seattle to Orlando much longer than it should (nearly over 8 hours compared to the usual 5hrs 30mins). Is there a way to remove the speed limiter, or is this feature built into the game and we can't do anything about it?
Check your groundspeed, not your airspeed. Two very different values, the aircraft is correct.
Hi Drawyah on takeoff did you activate to/ga please 👍
No, but technically you should. Small black button on the throttle.
@@Drawyah Thankyou very much my friend stay safe take care 👍
doesn't this have payload fuel and simbrief integretion ?
Does the download for the 787 replace the 747 in the plane selection or does it keep the 747 and add a whole new 787 to choose from?
The 787 only comes with the Premium Deluxe version of MSFS. If you only have Standard or Gamepass, you don't get a 787.
hello do you have to program fmc everytime or create flightplan at beginning many thanks
You don't have to if you're not flying a route.
@@Drawyah Thankyou
How do you switch to those different angles to look at those panels? Are there any special commands for this? And are there any tips to taxi with smooth turns?
hold right ctrl+alt+any number to set it then use alt+any number to go to it.
Hey was the APU bit skipped? It magically turned on with a cut in the video.
Yep! Completely forgot to add that bit to the video. Left on the cutting room floor. 😅
Hey I was just hoping if you can help me
I'm trying to fly the 787 in the aim but I use the main menu to file my flight plan but when I enter the sim I dont see it but when I check the vfr map I can see it
for some reason when i load up the 787 i dont see any numbers on the MCP digit dials (heading, altitude, speed ect) :( help!
Where do you get the routing info from
Was wondering the same.
Simbrief.com
Could you pls do a mid flight and landing tutorial as well pls? Thx.
Landing tutorials on the way!
hm, I'm not seeing SET IRS POS in my FMS. In fact, my FMS is quite different. Has this process changed over the years?
The process has changed with updates to the default 787 in MSFS.
Great video tutorial! A minor gripe about the simulation: why does it feel like (as with other sims) that the airplane is floating on the runway and sliding around when taxiing (clearly noticable in external camera views when landing gear is visible). As if the tires aren't in contact with the ground and the whole airplane is just a huge hit box sliding around on the runway. Surely that can be improved, right?
Can you fly a VOR to VOR route to test the VOR function please ? Thanks.
may I ask why is the your boeing787 got more funtion then the one I have? I can’t even run the engine start button and there no light on when I press any of the light button ? Is this a bug for me or you are using a 787 mod ?
No mods, this is vanilla!
Does the EICAS CHECKLIST work? Can you look at Normal and Non Normal checklist? Thanks
Nope!
Drawyah Thanks! That needs improvement!
Hi, how did you engage the autothrust on take off?
After rotate you can click on the A/T button to enable Autothrottle.
@@Drawyah neg, I meant for applying thrst take off power since zero speed once lined up
@@Drawyah I found it, there is alittle trigger point on the left side of throttle..very little!
hi, is possible to perform a DIRECT to pint in FP? HOW?
How do you get the auto throttle to work? I have the same settings but I have to manually keep moving the throttle to prevent overspeed / stall. I have select the AT & AP button, set the speed but it just ignores it. I think I've seen it working twice but can't seem to get it to work every time.
Check your FMS to see if it has a speed set, if not then use the speed selector in Mach mode.
What about windshield anti ice???
