I have bough all the major 3rd party aircraft for fs. This is without a doubt the best add on I have bought. In VR I just sit there in awe, listening to the sounds. It's actually incredibly relaxing. The CDU is quite intuitive once you learn how to use it. Highly recommended it!!!
Thank you so much for you video, I was going crazy trying to figure out why my gear was not working, after trying so many suggestions. Submitted a ticket to PMDG with no response so you are my hero for sure. Again, Thank you!!
Wonderful cinema! I can't do those shots without ChasePlane! The MSFS camera beats me entirely! But at least we have a jetliner that can hold VNav/LNav and fly SID/STAR.
I think your hydraulic system failures are due to a messed up panel state. If the aircraft state has those failures “baked in,” the systems will be failed every time you start up. So either select a different state file for the aircraft, or save a new one with all those failures disabled. I have been flying since release with no failures of any system, but I have them all disabled and always start from default starting state - basically, “Almost Cold & Dark”, with ground power enabled and chocks set, doors open for loading, etc., but APU and engines off and the FMC unprogrammed. It’s been working fabulously for me to learn the plane this way without the distraction of any system failures to confuse things.
Glad I am waiting a few months before I purchase this and the Fenix A320 . All the bugs should be worked out by then 😋 Neither are being very friendly with the Bravo Quadrant .
You are right about the gear being a mess…. To begin with although there was a video on RUclips within hours from SimHangar showing how to sort this out…. There was also help on the forum. The fix is easy. Swap around the default settings for heat on the Bravo. Set Switch 31 to “Down” and Switch 32 to “Up”. Set both to “on release”. That’s it. The settings reverting back to “ On press” is an Asobo issue that has been around for ages.
I am loving the 737. I've been fortunate to not have any major issues pop up yet. Heck, despite it being a bit of a trial to get started up the first few times, I can actually fly the thing better than the A320 (well other than landings, but we won't talk about that - hehehe).
Gripp ... seriously?! Oh, come on now, Summer Blockbuster Movies are supposed to last at least 130 (not 13!) minutes these days. Sighh - please fix this for the next GripperSim Eyecandy MovieNight please.. 📺 🍿😎🥤 Because That - was Awesome.. 👍 (can't wait for the directors cut!) - RaptorX
@@maydaygoingdown5602 It will be available on the MarketPlace eventually but I would advise against buying it there. The marketplace is incredibly slow to update.
By the way, Steam version vs Microsoft store is no different when it comes to Marketplace availability, as the Marketplace is in the sim and so is separate from the Steam or Microsoft store, so they are identical.
Grip…those opening 2 minutes were epic…no idea how long that took to compile but worth every minute!👍
Thanks Tango! 😜 Actually, it was the Microsoft/Asobo music that made it so good!

Damn Grip! You get more EPIC every release. I need my co-pilot so we can join you on a Sunday! :) Love ya dude.
Thanks Marc! 😳

Yes, I've been waiting for Vnav! : )

Fantastic, dramatic opening sequence and great video overall. Nice one Gripper 😃

Irish temper at it’s best.
Brilliant Video, nice to see some honesty in a review

Hi 👋 do you know when the -800 will be released?
1st of August for the 800 and 12th of September for the 900 from what I’ve seen.
Is this PMDG aircraft not available In the steam version?
I've looked in the aircraft section in marketplace but can't see it to purchase.
You’ll get it at the PMDG website. : )
@@GripperSim Aww, I was hoping just to get it on market place as that way it installs everything and takes care of all that.

@@Drmerlin604 That's a good Piont that Brian. I'd not even thought about that.👍
