MSFS | PMDG 737 Tutorial Episode 1: Cold & Dark to Engine Start - including Route Input!

  • When I first got behind the controls of the wonderful new PMDG 737-700 for Microsoft Flight Simulator I have to admit, I spent a little while scratching my head wondering where to begin!
    Around 10 video's later I'd began to understand how to turn the bring power to the aircraft, configure various settings and prepare a nice flight plan and figured I would consolidate that into a selection of videos to help YOU do the same - confidently get from A to B and enjoy every second whilst flying the PMDG 737 in MSFS. Lots of operators have their own slightly different flows covering everything required so I've used one for this video.
    This first video, Episode 1 if you will, begins on stand in Prague LKPR and we are Cold and Dark. We'll get everything configured and set up for a lovely flight down to Skiathos (LGSK) and I'll share everything I've learnt so far with you here.
    Don't miss my Simbrief Route Import tutorial too to help speed up the route input part of this tutorial (unless you like to add it all in manually too!)
    Of course, there is always lots to learn, and company's also differ in their flows but if you have any tips/tricks then be sure to share them in the comments below!
    Routing Used for this video series:
    LKPR - Runway 06 - VOZ3E VOZ DCT LANUX DCT PESAT DCT BABIT DCT OLOTA DCT MAKED UL617 TSL TSL1C - Runway 01 NDB / LGSK
    The aim for these tutorials are to help, upon release, to get you from 0hrs (as I did!) up in the air and completing a flight as simply as possible with confidence - I hope you enjoy the series!

    I think the panels on the A320 are SO much more intuitive. In the 737 you have to figure out which switch position is currently set by judging the switch angle or looking at a light somewhere around the switch if there is one, while on the A320 the switch itself has the light and immediately tells you its position.
    Honestly gives me a lot of appreciation for that cockpit layout.

    • @BritishAvgeek
      @BritishAvgeek  2 года назад +2

      indeed, much more thought and careful use required. Airbus is definitely much better in terms of the way they lay the flight deck out and the way it shows systems to the pilots

    • @LuLeBe
      @LuLeBe 2 года назад +2

      @@BritishAvgeek yeah probably a leftover from their much longer history. I can imagine that pilots can toggle the switches blindly after a while and would be really upset to suddenly have a button instead where you can't feel the position without looking. Just for the sim and probably new pilots as well, the Airbus seems more approachable.

    Very nicely done. Hopefully this will help a lot of people who can find the 737 a big overwhelming with all the buttons and dials. Just a few simple things to help those who are not especially familiar with the 737 as of yet. The LAND ALT on the overhead is first set to the altitude of the departure airfield in case an emergency landing needs to be made after takeoff. For simulation purposes we don't usually plan to land back at our departure airport but you never know.
    Also, kind of disappointed in the APU start procedure. In general on a warm day you typically don't need to hold the APU start button for more than 3 seconds but on very very cold days, you have to hold the APU start button for at least 5 seconds and in some cases it can take about 2-3 times or more before the APU will actually start. Especially if the plane has been sitting for a few days. I don't like that with this model it's just a simple click and done.
    Your Trip Fuel value goes into LSK 2L on the PERF INIT page for PLAN/FUEL. That number is also provided in simbrief. This tells the CDU what your trip fuel requirement is from Origin to Destianation so other calculations can be done correctly. The Transistion Altitude for the departure airport also needs to be changed in the PERF INIT as well. You left it at FL180 by default where it was probably different for your departure airport.

    Don’t arm the emergency exit lights until you get AC power on the aircraft. Wait to arm these until after you put ground power or APU power on the aircraft. Each of those emergency lights has its own battery and you will run them down. They won’t come on if there is AC power on the aircraft

    Had this module since release and having great fun with it. Not unlike many other players there are things that
    can be improved by investigating, reading, watching and inwardly digesting whatever information can be found as there doesn't appear to be a manual as such.
    I do appreciate very much your efforts in providing an amount of aforementioned information.
    I regret however as a tutorial, it falls short. As a demonstration, very good. As a tutorial, no. Perhaps if you could do a little research as to
    techniques of instruction, it would take a small quantity more in transforming a " Demonstration" into a true "Tutorial"
    Please note, my opinion counts for bugger all. And I do watch your postings.

    Hi, I was just wondering why even though I had followed through this whole tutorial with no mistakes (that I’m aware of) but when I disconnected the GPU the first officers screens turned off and the aircraft seemingly lost power. The FMC and PFD stayed on along with a couple of lights but all else seemed to have turned off?

  • @johny5400
    @johny5400 2 года назад +2

    Just one thing. Dont turn on the APU BLEED before u start the APU and give it a moment to run. APU BLEED puts a pressure on the generator and it is a common thing to let the generator run a minute before turning apu bleed on

    • @BritishAvgeek
      @BritishAvgeek  2 года назад +1

      Indeed, we've spoke about it on live streams a few times - the APU bleed is in various positions based upon what state saving you select to start in

      @@beesmongeese2978 yes, basically, APU BLEED is demanding on the APU.
      If you start a car from cold, you dont push the revs to the max as well. This is the same. In reality, pilots allows the APU to run at least a minute before pushing it.
