anyone else automatically hit the like at the start because you know its going to be a superb video??
Haha well, that’s very kind of you MD and hugely appreciated!
Many thanks for the kind words. Have a great weekend : )
I do actually lol, love his videos
Thanks very much, Max! I’m really glad that you’re enjoying the content : )
I flew to Dublin in 1994. In a seat facing backwards...
Ahh, was yours an “all expenses paid” trip then, Andrew? ; )
All the best!
DUBLIN 1994 ZOMBIE ZOMBIE ZOMBIE EH EH EH
OH YES! i love ur videos with the pmdg 737 and especially the 600! the 600 is such a lovely plane and u see it so rarely, compared to 700 800 and 900. i have got this plane a couple weeks back and basically have spend my time flying only that eversince. Lovely Video, once again great work. :D
Thanks very much once again, Felix! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video and indeed the 600. I agree; the 600 doesn’t get all that much fanfare (presumably because there were never all that many of them in existence), but it’s a great little jet and I love the fact that we have at least one 737 option, without winglets, in the sim (much better for all of those retro liveries!).
That’s great, that you’ve been having fun with the 736 also. Happy flying and all the best! : )
Really enjoyed this video. I have the 600 as well, which I frequently use with an older Ansett livery and fly up and down the Australian East coast and across the Tasman to my Kiwi neighbours! It's such a great plane to fly, and by far my favourite of the commercial airliners to date. I love that I can also get in and out of a number of regional airports over here as well.
Thanks very much Anastacia, I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight! The 600 is indeed a great little jet; the aircraft is fun, capable and the lack of winglets means it suits a lot of retro liveries pretty well.
Happy flying and all the best : )
This man continues to prove that Microsoft MSFS 2020 is more than just a game. Although British Midland - to my knowledge - never flew the -600 version of the Boeing 737, this virtual flight from East Midlands to Dublin is a pleasure to watch. And a good reason to fly this route - virtually - yourself. In my opinion, his videos provide a good basis for flying professionally in MSFS.
Thank you very much indeed for the high praise Peter, very kind of you to say!
You are correct; Midland never flew the NG, but it’s the best I have for the time being haha (I would love a decent classic 737 in the sim!). I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight and for sure, it’s a nice little route for others to try also.
Many thanks once again! All the best : )
I knew you knew. And I always do it myself when I like a livery and a type of aircraft fits an airline. Somehow, British Midland has always been one of my favorite airlines. I don't know why. And yes, a 737 Classic is badly needed. Especially the -300, the-400 and the -500, but also a real classic: the -100 and the -200. Many classics are still missing. In my opinion, it is more fun to fly classics. Back then, the human brain was the main computer on board. These were airplanes for real men.
Any pre-NG 737 would get a big tick from me! I gather MILVIZ / Blackbird are working on a 200, so that will probably be pretty good. It’s a shame Captain Sim lost the plot; once upon a time they made a half-decent 707 and 727, plus they have a 757, 737-200 and 737 CL in their P3D lineup but sadly, nothing they have produced in the last 5+ years, seems to be worthy of much praise. I completely agree though, more classic jets are always welcome - Just Flight seem to be leading the charge on that one at the moment : )
Cheers once again Peter!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Thank you very much for this additional reply. I appreciate it very much. And yes, you are right, somehow this has become a priority for Just Flight. And so far they have done a very good job. The Fokker F-28 and Bae-146 are little masterpieces. The Avro RJ70, Avro RJ85, Avro RJ100, Fokker 70 and 100 will follow in exactly the same quality. I am sure of that.
What’s providing the ATC audio?
Hello Sean,
The ATC is real-world recordings, which I’ve then edited into the video. There is actually an ATC chatter app available for MSFS though, if that’s the sort of thing you’re after : )
I hope that helps. All the best!
Bom dia pode mim ajudar comprei um ontem e ele não recolhe o trem de pouso obrigado e parabéns pelo trabalho 😊
Hello Cris,
Apologies for the slow reply, have you managed to get things sorted? The first thing that comes to mind, are you sure you don’t have any active failures running? Other than that, I can only imagine it’s either a hardware binding issue, or a hydraulic issue with the aircraft. If you have any more details regarding the problem, that might help me come up with a couple more ideas.
I’m really glad you enjoyed the video! Cheers and all the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice flight as always, beautiful plane too. It's so nice seeing actual toggle switches on the overhead, opposed to the newer plastic push buttons on the airbus and 747.
I completely agree, Pythos; there something so much more satisfying about a good, old-fashioned toggle switch and the 737 has them in spades haha (it’s an aircraft I’ve always quite fancied flying, actually).
I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the flight! Many thanks once again for watching : )
Have to say that this is the best flight sim channel for me right now, thanks alot for your calm, helpful and beautiful videos! 🙂
Wondering which ATC mod u are using?
Thanks very much for the kind words, Wil. It’s really great to hear that you’re enjoying the content - my absolute pleasure!

In fact never heard of this app, will definitely give it a try especially since they offer a free version to begin with. So thanks again, I appreciate it! 👍🏼@@IntotheBlueSimulations
Great video again. 👍
Regarding the East Midlands scenery and you mentioning the lack of a commercial offering. There is the Pyreegue East Midlands scenery. Available on Contrail and Orbx and maybe other places.
Thank you very much Robert, I’m really glad you enjoyed it!
Indeed, Pyreegue announced their East Mid’s scenery, literally a week or so after I recorded this video haha (you wouldn’t believe how often that sort of thing happens ha). Being one of my favourite scenery developers, I was very excited at the announcement and I will definitely be taking another look at EGNX in due course. Thanks for the heads up though!
Cheers and all the best : )
I love this rocket of a plane. I have the 700 and 800 but I gravitate to this one often.
Indeed Jon; the 600 is great fun and quite possibly my favourite aircraft in the PMDG 737 family; I love the fact that the 600 doesn’t have any winglets - makes it the perfect option for any retro liveries ; )
Happy flying and all the best!
crazy how profesional European servers are compared to America's thats cluttered with unintelligent kids
What are you referring to? Just curious
Hello Jason,
I presume you are referring to VATSIM? Those were actually real-world ATC recordings (not VATSIM) that I included in the video, hence the air of professionalism haha. That being said, I have done a couple of UK VATSIM flights and by and large, I was very Impressed with the degree of professionalism, particularly from the controllers.
Cheers, all the best : )
I think Jason was referring to VATSIM, Flyboy : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations I was thinking same.
You almost had a birdstrike at 15:29 🙂Great video as always
Haha I did, Jan. Same on the approach also! XD
I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight! Thanks very much for watching and all the best : )
My favourite 737, love flying the 600 around. nice quick route if you want to do a flight before bed....
Love this. Are you using a real world checklist/flow on another screen or a print-out?
Thanks very much MM, I’m really glad you enjoyed it!
Yes, I tend to have a checklist available on my iPad and use that during recording.
I hope that clarifies things. All the best! : )
Hi there from Australia
I can understand in this day and age the reliance on technology, however I do wonder just how many pilots can dead recon in navigating, the control, altitude, speed and campus direction of the aircraft is a lost art, now I know that a pilot employed in a professional capacity has to adhere to the day’s technology, ( yes isn’t it lovely and all ) however take yourself out of that technical surroundings and go back to dead reckoning with respect to navigation, and fly a aircraft like granddad did.
You will be a better pilot and commander of an aircraft for it, maybe I am seeking to the converted and all of the above is mute, however you know exactly what I am referring to.
Respect and kind regards
Terry.
Hello Terry,
I don’t have a definitive answer to your question, but as all pilots do of course start out with the basics, I don’t think dead-reckoning is a lost art entirely. . . Granted, commercial jets are heavily automated these days and most pilots do tend to make good use of said automation (myself included).
As far as the sim goes though, I like to do all sorts of flying (this video is not necessarily representative of my “typical” content). The flight prior to this one, was in fact a VFR navigation exercise around rural Oxfordshire, in a De Havilland Chipmunk and I’ve flown all sorts here on the channel; from warbirds to hot air balloons, LGA approaches to STOL ops in Indonesia. I love mixing things up and testing my skills in the sim - it’s one of the reasons I enjoy making the RUclips content : )
I hope that clarifies things a little, with regards to my content at least. Cheers and all the best!
great vid .. but i have a problem with simbrief and the Ebag ..
it keeps loading only 1 and its a old flightplan .
how do u load a new flightplan from simbrief into the plane when u see a onld 1 in the ebag/ how do you erease a old flightplan ?
Hi Remco,
Thanks very much, I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
I’m afraid I can’t help you there; I haven’t actually had a chance to try the 737’s EFB yet so, I am not in the least but familiar with its operation etc - sorry about that.
I do hope you manage to get things sorted. All the best!
The MCDU is full functional? I mean can I add and delete knot/feet on each waypoints?
Hi GH,
Well, I’m no expert when it comes to the Boeing but, so far as I’m aware, the CDU is pretty much fully functional, yes. You can indeed add / edit / remove speed and altitude constraints etc.
I hope that helps. All the best! : )
Yeah the recent payware East Midlands is one of the best sceneries ever made. Pyreegue, recently released. Amazing.
Thanks for the heads up, Andrew! I was actually aware of the Pyreegue scenery - they announced it shortly after I recorded this flight haha. Pyreegue is one of my favourite scenery developers, so I’m really looking forward to revisiting East Mid’s when I get the chance : )
Cheers and all the best!
How do you make your camera move around like that?
Hi Chris,
I'm using a head-tracking device called "TrackIR" for the camera movements. It's great, although a little pricey. There are cheaper / freeware alternatives available though, should you wish to give it a go for yourself : )
I hope that helps. All the best!
Awesome video, well done. Can't wait for MSFS 2024 and I'm continuously shocked at how you can experience this at your home desk... Incredible
where i fund this voice radio on cockpit ?
Hi CR,
The ATC is real-world recordings, which I’ve then edited into the video. There is actually an ATC chatter app available for MSFS though, if that’s the sort of thing you’re after : )
I hope that helps. Cheers and all the best!
I'm legally blind, so I don't often mess with the heavies, mostly as I can't see the finite silkscreening of the instruments, and panels. Couldn't see the PAPI lights until near the decision point on the approach. Really enjoyed watching a real, commercial pilot flying the sim. By the way, I did notice the union flag, on the starboard side of the nose is inverted, or backwards. The one on the port side is correct, though. Thanks for an enjoyable flight. :)
Ah well thanks very much Thomas, I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight! I probably committed all sorts of Boeing faux pas haha, but it’s always nice to try and fly something a little bit different in the sim.
The union flag is inverted by design: You are correct that the flag is “inverted”, but the aircraft is “flying the flag”, so that’s how the flag ought to look whilst moving through the air (a lot of aircraft liveries depict the same thing - it’s even more noticeable on the US carriers for example). Good spot though! ; )
Many thanks once again and all the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Ah, ok. Just like on military uniforms, then. Thanks for the clarification. :)
Exactly, Thomas. My pleasure! Cheers once again : )
Hi guys I know it's out of contest , I'm new into this simulator and I use helicopter. There is a way to star the game with the Heli turned off and with all the check list to complete?
Thank youu
I take it you want to know if there's a way to do a cold and dark start in the Sim. Yes, there is, simply pick a parking spot or gate when setting up. And if the sim loads you in on the runway with engines lit, simply go back to the setup page and select a parking spot, making sure to pick both on the map and in the drop down above the page. You will spawn in on the selected spot with engines cold and ready for start up.
Hope that helps, mate.
Hello Marco,
As Kokoete points out, you just need to make sure you start from a parking stand and not on the runway (the sim will then have the aircraft default to cold and dark).
I hope that helps. All the best! : )
Thanks for offering up the help Kokoete! Very kind of you to do so : )
Thank you very much guys, really appreciate it!
A pleasure, Marco! : )
Excelent ! My name is Norberto you are the best
Y
Haha, well thanks very much for the kind words Norberto! I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight : )
All the best!
I like seeing videos of yours with just flying. I would love to see more of this and also maybe training ones too.
Thanks very much Abigail, that’s great to hear (I wish everyone shared your sentiment haha)! I enjoy recording these sorts of vids as 1) It allows me to enjoy whatever route / aircraft I feel like flying at the time and 2) these sorts of vids are generally a little bit less work when it comes to recording / editing (though not always). I have made some training videos in the past, but there never seemed to be too much interest in them and I didn’t enjoy making them quite a much as these sorts of flights, so the training vids rather fell by the wayside (though I try to include little tips / tutorials in all of my videos). Who knows though, perhaps I’ll make some more training videos in the future. . .
Cheers and all the best! : )
Training or mini documentary style videos would be amazing😮
@@daveslow84 i would love it and am sure it would be praised very highly
I had actually considered doing some sort of air accident investigation videos, or something along those lines, Dave. The trouble is, they would be even more time consuming than my current content and that already has me maxed out haha. It’s something I quite like the idea of doing though, so perhaps I will ultimately end up reducing the frequency of my videos, in favour of longer projects. We shall see. . .
Cheers, all the best!
Would love to see this redone as EGNX-EGAA with both Pyreegue sceneries and the new fenix update. Would be great to get your thoughts on all three.
Funnily enough Renny, that was the route (and sceneries) that I had in mind for my next tubeliner outing haha. At the moment, I’m inclined to fly the route in the F28; I would certainly like to take another look at the Fenix also, though I’m somewhat holding out for the IAE update.
Cheers, all the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations that’s a great idea too. EGNX probably doesn’t see too many a320s based on the companies/routes so I feel a little bit weird flying in w the fenix haha but it’s so beautiful and performance is so great I can stretch the imagination. 737BCF from EGNX to payware Liege was the first thing I did when I picked up PMDG.
Looking forward to the next video!
hey I have a really similar pc and I’m dying for results on graphic settings and nividia settings. Can u please make a video showing your graphics for the 2080 pc
Hi CO,
I’m afraid I don’t have the time to make a video on the topic, but I’d be happy to outline my settings on the 2080 PC:
- “High End” preset
- Pre-Cache = Ultra
- Terrain and Object visibility sliders set at 125% (sorry, I forget the actual names of them)
- Motion Blur = Off
- Glass Cockpit Refresh = Medium
- AI Traffic = Off
- VSync = On / 60fps
That gives a nice balance between graphical fidelity and performance. I only run at 1080p, hence the decent FPS / smooth performance. The things I’ve turned off / down are known to be famerate hogs. It’s important to note, I also spend a lot of time tweaking the weather / lighting in my videos, which accounts for much of the graphical fidelity you see (as that can make a huge different to how the sim looks overall).
I hope that helps a little! All the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations THANK YOUUU yes I wasn’t even expecting a reply!! Perfect!
Haha, you’re most welcome! Happy that’s of some help. Cheers once again : )
Is there a way to make the route from the fmc you would see on the ND display, display on the vor screen so the route is the needle you keep centered that is the gps route? I have airmanager which is a gauge software it doesnt allow me to display my route but does have a vor. So i want it so my route is centering the needle on my vor. I assumed this should work but dont know how to get it to work as of now it only comes alive if i program a vor. Again just want the vor needle to be my gps route?
Hello Brandon,
I’m not an expert when it comes to the 737 but, I’m afraid I think that the short answer is “no” (certainly, on the Airbus you can’t do that). I think the 737’s VOR NAV display, displays the VOR radial (and DME) information only. On Garmin equipped aircraft this would be possible, but not on the 737, I don’t think.
Sorry about that. I hope that clarifies things a little at least. All the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations thank you yes a few others told me it doesn't work on the "cdi" is what I really meant. But the thing to do is plot some vors in the route and follow along like that along with the fmc then go right to the ils or faf. I have airmananger so it doesn't have an ND. Only option is the cdi, vor outside of the virtual cockpit. Anyway thanks again!
Yes, doing things “old school”, should work just fine haha. You’re most welcome! Happy flying and all the best : )
Hey Great Video ! Can you say me, what your initial zoom in the Camera Config File Is please ??
Thanks very much Chris, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully my other reply has taken care of your query? ; )
Cheers!
I would actually orgasm if Fenix reproduced EIS 1 with the IAE just to recreate the good old bmi days
Haha! I don’t think we’ll be getting EIS 1 (a shame), but it sounds like IAE engines aren’t too far around the corner! I’m really hoping, given how thorough Fenix were with the CFM liveries, that we’ll see Midland / bmi liveries “out of the box” - fingers crossed : )
Cheers, all the best!
how do you arrive so slowly on my sim i arrive more faster
I was curious if anyone knows in which conditions autoland is used since apparently it's not the standard procedure.
Hello James,
I’m not a “Boeing guy”, but I can tell you what little I do know re the 737 and give you some info from an Airbus perspective:
There are a number of reasons that the crew might wish to carry out an autoland, but the procedure is most typically used in low visibility conditions (where the aircraft *has* to land automatically, as the pilots no longer have sufficient visual references available, in order to carry out the landing themselves).
On the Airbus, it is standard practice to engage both autopilots for an ILS approach, regardless of whether or not one plans on carrying out an autoland. Apparently, (so I have been told) this is not the case on the Boeing; I gather engaging CMD A+B on the 737, actually trims the aircraft slightly differently in anticipation of an autoland, so it is not desirable to select both autopilots, unless it’s planned that an autoland will be carried out.
I hope that helps a little? All the best : )
@IntotheBlueSimulations That makes sense! It has to be different somehow since it uses more runway after all. Thanks for the detailed answer and quality videos, as always.
Cheers, James! My absolute pleasure : )
Hello, great video, thank you. On takeoff you pass some birds, are you using a mod for those or are they part of the scenery?
Hello Alex,
I’m glad you enjoyed the video - my absolute pleasure!
I was indeed using a mod called FS Birds (for the UK region). It’s a payware mod; the little bump in immersion is nice, but unfortunately FS Birds also hammers the sim’s FPS pretty hard at times (causing stuttering when flying at high speed), so it’s a little bit difficult to recommend the addon overall.
I hope that helps a little. All the best : )
Great videos,, but what is the moving green arc on the flight plan display
Thanks very much Carter, I’m glad you’re enjoying the content!
The green arc displays the aircraft’s calculated descent point, based on the MCP altitude selected; ie it’s showing (based on current conditions) where the aircraft thinks you will level off.
I hope that clarifies things? All the best : )
on the market place there is a east midlands airport.. its around £18.. looks really good
Indeed, Loopy; the East Mids scenery was released shortly after I recorded this video haha. It is undoubtedly a superb scenery!
Thanks for the info and all the best : )
Please make a video showing your configuration for the 600
Hi Spotter,
Do you mean that you would like a breakdown of aircraft config options that I use (accessed from the CDU); ie, eyebrow windows, no fuel totaliser, no seat headrests, etc etc?
All the best!
Beautiful and professional as always, thanks for this one really nice to watch. Hope you sort a way to nail real weather as it is in "reality". Cheers!
Thanks very much Pedro, I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight!
Yes, whilst the sim has improved hugely with regards to Live Weather, it would be really nice to have the whole implementation be that bit more reliable; it was a shame to miss out on the real-world conditions for this flight, as it would have made for a more interesting video overall.
Cheers and all the best : )
These types of flights are among my favorites. Thank you for giving details of your flights. I like to try duplicating them.
Well, I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the flight then, LCC! It’s always great when the vids inspire people to try the same route / aircraft / challenge etc.
Many thanks again! All the best : )
I really enjoy and appreciate your content! I have been really enjoying flight sim 2020, my favourite planes to fly are the 747, a320, and citation. I’m gonna be picking up the 737-600 today! Super excited to add it to my roster!
Many thanks for the kind words, Youn; I’m really glad you’re enjoying the content, as well as the hobby!
Much appreciated and I do hope you have fun with the 737. Cheers : )
Nice ! The aircraft I'm relearning to fly, probably been 1 year since I was up in the sky with it :)
Cheers Ronnie!
Haha, don’t I know that feeling; too many addons and not enough time these days. Every time I come back to an addon, I have to re-learn it (at least not with the Airbus, thankfully XD ). I’d love to jump back into the Maddog, the DC6, Concorde etc, but they all require hitting the books again before I can do so. It was definitely nice getting back up in the 737 though!
Happy flying once again : )
Would it be possible to set chapter marks with description for key / important parts in the video? =)
Hi rymd,
Ideally, I would love to add chapters but unfortunately, the RUclips algorithm tends to “punish” me somewhat if I do so. I’ve found when I add chapters, people tend to inherently watch less of the video overall (understandably). A lower average view time on a video, negatively impacts that video being recommended to other viewers and of course, I would like my videos to be recommended as widely as possible. It’s a frustrating system and far from ideal. I do add chapters to videos where I consider them to be “essential”, for example my coverage of the MSFS2024 trailer, but most of the time I think one can guess roughly which section of the video is which, based on the flow of the flight.
I hope that makes sense and apologies for the situation. Cheers and all the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations It does! 👍🏼
Great video how did you manage to change the white dot colour to something less intrusive
Hello Darren,
Thanks very much, I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Apologies, but I’m not quite sure what you’re referring to re the “white dot”? I’m happy to try and help if you can offer some further clarification : )
Cheers, all the best!
Do you have any useful tips so I can learn to fly the a320? What should I focus on learning first, what’s the best way to learn?
Hello Amogus,
Hopefully these videos will help get you started (they’re some of my older content, so you have to forgive things being a little bit “rough around the edges” haha): ruclips.net/p/PLaI08doFZ-LLwILOP5X4Ehloc4Ux5eVNg
Obviously we all have different preferences when it comes to learning, but I would say video tutorials on RUclips are a great option. My tutorials really just cover the basics, but A320SimPilot’s videos are a great option. After that, it’s just a case of trial and error (don’t be afraid to screw things up - you’ll most likely learn from the mistakes) + practice.
I hope that helps a little? All the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations thank you so much
You’re most welcome! Best of luck with it all : )
Thanks for this amazing video ❤😊
Unfortunately I don't have Microsoft flight simulator on my PC because I don't have money to purchase it 😢
But I am playing now real flight simulator on mobile and I hope that I will can buy the game and enjoy it when I grow up and begin working 😄
My absolute pleasure Adem, I’m really glad you enjoyed it!
Sorry to hear that you aren’t currently able to enjoy MSFS, I’m sure that you will be able to one day. I do very occasionally have giveaways on the channel (usually around Christmas and / or channel milestones), so keep an eye out for those - I have given away copies of MSFS before ; )
In the meantime, enjoy RFS! Happy flying and all the best : )
Great video again. Question. Why do the flightcontrolchecks during taxi and not before. Doesn't seem logical. You can't check the rudder and if there is an issue, you have to taxi back anyway . Seems so make more sense to do it at the apron itself.
Thanks very much once again, Dennis!
As with many things in commercial aviation, I think it really just comes down to time and money haha. It’s more expeditious to check the controls on the taxi out and one can also save some fuel as a result. On the real aircraft, you can check the rudder independently of the nosewheel steering (it’s only somewhat of a limitation in the sim, depending on your controller setup) and in reality, flight control issues would be so rare, that the savings vastly outweigh the very remote possibility of having to return to the gate. All that being said, if it’s a very short taxi from the gate to the runway, typically we’ll check the flight controls before commencing the taxi, as we’re looking to kill some time anyway (for the engine warmup) and it saves getting super busy on the way out (at least that is the case on the Airbus / at the airline I work for).
I hope that clarifies things a little. I’m really glad you enjoyed the video! Cheers and all the best : )
I remember at the beginning of msfs 2020 someone had a 737-400 that looked great but nobody said who it was and they never released it
Ahh, that’s a shame, Luis; I’m sure we’ll see one eventually (I had heard rumours about Fenix doing one but, I think that was indeed just a rumour). . .
Cheers, all the best!
How the physics of 737 pmdg in msfs compared with xplane 12 ?
Since you are a real life pilot you can help aspirants like me.
Hi Vibin,
Well, it’s a little bit trickier for me to comment on the 737 specifically, not having flown the aircraft in the real-world. That being said, I can still say with a significant degree of confidence, that by and large, X-Plane is the better sim when it comes to flight modelling (particularly on the heavy jets). I did actually try the Zibo mod, after spending quite a bit of time in MSFS and as soon as I disconnected the autopilot and flew the rest of the approach in the Zibo, I was reminded just how much better some of the flight models in X-Plane feel. In fairness to MSFS, the sim has caught up a lot over the last year or so, but X-Plane is still the king (in the flight modelling department) for now.
I hope that helps a little? All the best : )
My Saturday is saved :)
Yes
Haha! Cheers Kiwiness, I’m glad the video arrived at a fortuitous moment for you. I do hope you enjoyed it!
Have a great weekend and all the best : )
Holy Christ are these overpriced!
You use to be able to get two pmdg planes for the price of one now.
It rather depends, Iffy; the 600 sells for $35, which I think is very reasonable. So, if one doesn’t mind which member of the NG family they pick up, you can actually get a bit of a “bargain”. If you want to purchase the entire 737 NG range though, the costs certainly add up!
All the best : )
how come my 600 doesn't have a cabin? :(
I believe there is a setting in the FMC PMDG settings to show the cabin? But I may be wrong on that.
Hello Alex,
Annoyingly, there’s no way of entering the cabin from the flight deck, but if you use the “External - Fixed” cameras, there will be various wing view options etc available. If your cabin isn’t showing at all (mine was by default), Vinny’s suggestion sounds like a reasonable one.
I hope that helps a little. All the best!
Thanks for offering up some help Vinny! Much appreciated : )
Awesome video! Just curious why youre not talking to ATC? I heard you mention all the appropriate clearances but didnt hear the calls. Anyway great flight!
Thanks very much Joey, I’m really glad you enjoyed it!
The ATC is actually real-world recordings, which I’ve then edited into the video (hence my lack of response haha).
I hope that clarifies things. Cheers again and all the best! : )
As a new viewer, this is excellent content. I have purchased the 737 600 as a result and will get studying. I have though already done a few visual circuits for fun straight out of the 'box/download'.
Thanks very much, Marko! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video and that it got you inspired to give the 737 a go. Best of luck with your continued learning / flying : )
Cheers!
Truly amazing content! One question. Do you have a checklist that you follow? Or do you just do everything from mind. Keep up the work!
Thank you very much, Quantum! Very kind of you to say and I’m really glad you enjoyed the video.
It depends on the aircraft but yes, I generally tend to have a checklist available on my iPad and use that during recording.
Many thanks again and all the best! : )
Hey there! i love your videos, can you maybe take a look/make a review of the Sky Simulations md11? ik its an old product by now but it would be cool to see a video about it by you :D
Hello Felix,
Thank you very much for the kind words, I’m really happy that you’re enjoying the content!
I’ll keep the Sky Simulations MD-11 in mind: I was actually planning on reviewing the aircraft when it released, but it appeared to have some major issues and I tend to try and focus on addons that I think offer decent quality. From what I have seen, the Sky Simulations MD-11 looks to be a bit overpriced for what it is and with the TFDi MD-11 somewhere on the horizon, I don’t see that Sky Simulations version of the aircraft has a whole lot to offer. That being said, the MD-11 is a classic design and an aircraft that I’m not all that familiar with in terms of operation, so I do like the idea of covering it in a video and may do so if I’m stuck for something to record on a rainy day ; )
Thanks very much for the suggestion! All the best : )
you forgot to start the clock.
I did indeed, JB haha. I don’t know what the deal is on the Boeing, but on the Airbus that is typically the PM’s job and I tend to end up in a “PF mindset” during takeoffs in the sim - I forget to start the chrono almost every time XD
All the best!
A very lovely outing, my fav airplane in MSFS, although i always handfly everything ;) just because i love it. Have an awsome day!
Thanks very much Frankestein, I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight! The 600 is indeed a cracking little jet, I can see why it’s one of your favourites.
Haha, you’re obviously less lazy than me then; I like to get the autopilot in and enjoy the scenery although in fairness, I do tend to hand fly a bit more when I’m not commentating (commentary zaps my mental capacity, probably way more than it should haha) : P
Cheers! You have an awesome day / weekend as well! : )
Do you use some sort of a graphics pack for msfs, if so what would it be?
Hello Johannes,
I don’t use any sort of graphics pack or reshade, no. I do spend a lot of time tweaking the weather and lighting in my videos, as that can make a huge visual difference within the sim. I also add a little bit of vignette to my external shots, during editing (the same effect could be achieved with the Nvidia game filters).
I hope that helps a little. All the best! : )
Thank-you sir for another dazzling display of airmanship and sharing with us the stunningly well crafted British Midland livery. This is Guerry, one of your sport’s fans from the US to share the wealth of someone new to MSFS 2020. It seems as if British Midland has some nostalgic value to you as an airline, and I’m happy for you being able to possibly relive some of the memories you have of times you have spent with the carrier. I also tend to become the same way with MSFS and look forward to becoming familiar enough with the simulator to relive many of the memories I have accumulated.
This video is my first glimpse of a very large airport. I am somewhat surprised that the designer for Dublin’s airport, other than downloading its scenery, wasn’t more creative. At least he could have labeled some of parked aircraft with Aer Lingus livery. But now that I consider it further, I’m guessing that adorning other aircraft in true to life liveries might involve paying to the airline(s) a royalty fee. That seems silly to me, especially when it is free advertising. But most assuredly, when it comes to business practices, I do fall short of being an Einstein.
As a sidenote and someone who used to hold a “private ticket” to fly, I just noticed something missing from the scenery both in Europe and the US on which I used to heavily rely. There is no smoke coming from factories or other sources. For I practice my MSFS skills using small, local airfields for which there is no scenery addon. Among many things, this especially makes locating the airsock next to impossible. I do not need everything provided by ATIS. I merely want a wind direction and estimated speed. Consequently, I seems as if I am restricted to viewing the MSFS weather setting for my information, which for me removes some of the true to life realism of the simulator. Oh well… Wait a minute! I just thought of a solution. I could dial up the weather setting and crank up some thunderheads. Then, I can look at their tops to give me a pretty good idea of the wind direction and velocity. Ha! It’s happy flying for all!
Thank-you again for sharing your flight with us. It might sound like a cliché, but I do truly look forward to ITB videos. Good day, sir!
Hello Guerry,
Once again, my absolute pleasure on the video! Midland does indeed hold a special place in my heart, so it’s been really nice to be able to bring them back to life in some small sense and all the better that I can share that project with you guys! I was originally planning on creating a “channel livery” (as seems to be the done thing) and then realised it would be much better to bring my favourite airline back instead ; )
Some addon developers do add static aircraft that are appropriate to the scenery being modelled but 1) as you say, I guess that could open them up to legal issues and 2) not everybody likes static aircraft included with their scenery. I actually recorded this video a while ago, before there were really any decent traffic options available for MSFS; I now have a decent traffic package installed, so for most future vids, you should see a wealth of appropriate liveries haha.
It’s true actually; no native smoke within MSFS, which is a shame, for the reasons you mention (+ a couple of others). If you really want to figure out wind direction, without a windsock etc, I suppose you could simply fly down the runway at a fixed IAS, time how long it takes in either direction and work out where your headwind is coming from that way. Just a thought. . .
I’m really glad you’re continuing to enjoy the content! Many thanks once again : )
Something I have never come along in real life, a -600 with air stairs.
Is that so, e36s? To be fair, I’m not sure that I’ve ever even come across a 600 haha. PMDG include the option with the 600 and given that they’re usually fairly fastidious with these sorts of things, I presume the option exists in real life also. . . I just like to use the aircraft’s airstairs in my videos, as I think they look a little bit more photorealistic than the portable airstairs that come included with the product.
Cheers, all the best!
Excelent video as always. I really need to revisit the 736.
Thanks very much mate, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah, as with every other aircraft in the sim, I don’t fly the 736 nearly enough haha, but it was good fun getting back into the little rocket and I really enjoy the aesthetic of the 737 without the winglets (it looks nice and retro).
Cheers once again! : )
What a shocking comparison to last week's Chipmunk flight! I appreciate the hour of instruction, this will make me a better instrument (sim) pilot.
Haha, well I like to try and keep a mix of flying here on the channel, Roger; it’s nice for me to be able to have a change of pace and hopefully the same is true for you guys also ; )
It’s brilliant if you think you’ll get some value from the video! Thanks very much for watching and have a great weekend : )
Love your videos they are always so realistic and interesting to watch. One thing would be just a bit better if you were using some retro settings on the 736 like the Honeywell MCP, side by side display options and analog standby instruments cos BMI only had 737 classics and no NG.
Thanks very much Markus, I’m really glad that you’re enjoying the content!
I did think about doing exactly that (and I agree that configuration would work better for a “retro” setup), but opted to go with the more modern options primarily because 1) I find them to be a little bit more user friendly and 2) I think they’re also a little bit easier for the viewer to see during the video. What I would ideally like, is a proper classic 737, but the NG will have to do for now ; )
Thank you very much for the kind words and for your thoughts! All the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Thanks for the heart.
I never seen it from that side, that it could be confusing for your viewers. And yes the modern setup is more user friendly, even though i like the older Honeywell MCP a bit more because of the night lightning. It just looks so comfy with the orange red digits 😄 Having a proper 737 classic would be a blast. I'm a huge sucker for 80's planes 757, 767, 737cl. I love the gab between analog and EFIS.
Looking forward for new videos from you, cheers 😀
Completely agree; the part-analogue / part-digital era produced some great aircraft and they tend to still be interesting to fly, whilst also being a little bit easier to manage haha. I just finished recording another outing in the A310, so that will be up at some point (not exactly sure when).
Cheers! All the best : )
East Midlands Airport, also known as "The Vortex of Sadness" .... 🙈
I was wondering that too...
Haha! Poor old East Mids XD
As a kid, I have fond memories of EGNX but to be fair, other than one visit, I was mostly just out in the countryside, watching aeroplanes coming in on short final : )
All the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations in many ways the best thing to come out of East Midlands Airport is a plane going somewhere else 🤫🤫
Sensacional.
Thank you, sir! : )
Phew, 0:38 looks great & real. 😳
Indeed Gallo; I still find it impressive just how photorealistic MSFS can look at times! I must say that I was pretty pleased with that shot haha : )
Cheers, all the best!
