Have you ever been on the full motion flight simulator? P.S. I have 1000 hours in Microsoft Flight Sim, not on the 737. I fly this plane in MSFS just as a hobby, not planning to piloting it irl in the future. I'm more of the engineering guy who tries to look at this plane's efficiency. So feel free to leave me suggestions on how to fly it as the people who are/were/will be pilots! :)
Thanks for sharing your motion sim experience. Keep flying and learning , as a retired 20,000+ hr pic real work pilot I can tell you this, Keep living your dreams and never give up. When you’re flying and things start going wrong….. don’t panic, remember your basics keep flying your aircraft and never give up! Fly it until you can’t fly anymore… Learn to stay ahead of your aircraft, never allow your airplane to reach the final approach fix before you. Stay three steps ahead. Prepare for each flight. Get a full weather briefing and complete your pre-flight planning. Stay current and be prepared! Know your aircraft and its systems. Good Luck !!!
I find it hard to believe that 1000+ hours, you missed all those points. I am at 300Hrs and I figured those out simply by observing what real pilots do (videos on youtube). Another thing I figured out is that the landing lever of the 737-800 needs to be in the middle position a few minutes after you put it in the up position so that the hyrdraulic system won't be doing its thing anymore.
Everyone learns differently so don't be so critical of him. Everyone has challenges when learning anything. I consider myself relatively capable but while earning my associate's degree in computer technologies, my bachelor's in cyber security, and 20 professional I/T certifications, I had many obstacles. Almost everyone experiences difficulties while attending their education and maybe you're the exception.
I also thought of this, but the thing is - watching simmers on RUclips everyone does it a little differently, because they know its a sim and they can make some shortcuts. Most important thing when learning virtually is -verify with real checklists or SOPs from virtual airlines who source their knowledgebase from real life pilots. Always QRH are available for many aircraft types. Never trust one information source.
Honestly, just because you couldn't fly it doesn't mean that others can't. In my case, I've gone to full motion A320 simulators and with slightly less hours in MSFS I was able to I was able to make a more than professional flight. Which was not my first time in this type of simulator.
You could try watch more of this youtube channel A330 Driver (Formerly B737 Driver due recent A330 type rating) an actual airline pilot who mostly content are MSFS. Throughout video showing you a comprehensive content of piloting an airliner. I've learn quite information from him, about how to use the FMC which I really dont know how to setup.
You shouldn't be embarrassed while you are learning. Everyone, including your instructor, was where you are right now and was learning for the first time.
You acting like he's not admitting his mistakes, he literally started the vid saying he made many basic mistakes, looks like you lack basic language comprehension skills.....now that is embarrassing
@@Thiccurusii The title of the vid is "1000+ hours", with those hours and "1 year studying" I would expect such basic mistakes to be ironed out. There are already so many videos of novices landing in sims, I was expecting to watch a video of someone who knew how to operate the 737 properly in MSFS. This is basically the same as watching someone with no experience. It's a clickbait title.
@@holobolo1661 Well, I have several videos where I do full flights on Vatsim on 737 in MSFS, so you are welcome to watch them. I actually have 1000 hours in MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024 combined, so it's not a clickbait
@@LuxPlanes Hi, thanks for the comment! Well, the case is that I live in Moscow (and will be during the next few months) so I don't think this information would be useful to you, but, anyway, here's the link to Google Maps maps.app.goo.gl/5DDVvSKbiJygdait7
No offence but just because you could not fly it, does not mean others also cannot. Your ability to learn in 1000hrs and others is vastly difference and this in no way is in disrespect to you.
MSFS can be used as a game or a simulator; you can choose to learn or just play. You could have found out all about the cold and dark setup and everything else you struggled with on the PMDG 737. All the same, I wish you well; try and read the included FCOM.
Over the entire simming platform i have over 75,000hrs could be more and yes its way different than the real thing however you cannot leave at 1000hrs and head to the motion.
As a commercial pilot, I want to show this video to all those people who claim they could land the airplane in an emergency, because they have MSFS experience lol
Nice video! I wish you the best of luck with your flight simming journey, and remember to have fun! If you have not already, I really recommend watching videos from 'A330 Driver' about the PMDG 737NG for tutorials. He's a real-life airline pilot and flew the Boeing 737NG for several years (some time on the MAX as well!) before transferring over to the Airbus A330. His videos are super technical and helpful, and he's the reason as to why I've gotten so far in the Boeing 737 myself in my own flight simming experience.
Large transport category jet airliners are much more about systems management and crew resource management than actual flying. The autopilot will happily fly you through takeoff to touchdown if you want. In my flightsim experience, i engage AP around 20-25k feet into the SID and don't disengage it till well into final approach after managing the energy state of the aircraft to my satisfaction. Long story short, just hours on flight sims is not enough if you do not have a basic knowledge of systems, procedures, flows and checklists related to your aircraft type. Maybe downloading and studying the 737 NG FCOM, FCTM and QRH would go a long way towards improving your skills.
If you want to really know how to fly, start with smaller simpler aircraft lole a C172 or Piper Arrow or some simple piston. Once you can fly those, then you'll be ready for more complex aircraft
So basically you’ve got 1000+ hours doing the same thing and not learning anything. How can you not know how to correctly hand fly a plane? If you pull pack you’ll climb. Isn’t that obvious?
@@Chiefcheeseofcheddington Anything, eh? I am doing full flights on Vatsim with 737 from time to time, engaging autopilot after rotation and disconnecting it on final (reducing workload). As I said, I have these hours in the sim, not on the B737. Also as I said, I had problems with managing altitude while turning, not that I didn't know what pulling up does
Sounds like u had a few bad habits…..which makes sense since u never had formal training. Thats ok…..we are always learning new things when we fly. The important thing is to use these tips in the future.

so you spent 1 year "studying" the airplane, yet didn't read the FCOM or watch a single cold & dark start tutorial? bro... that is embarrassing.

You don't have to be embarassed,you learned from it and besides you paid for that flight experience.
How did you ended up in a full motion sim?
@@tecsa30 paid money
Better simulator can give better expirience. Practice makes perfect. Я так то сам сим пилот в msfs 2020, хотя сейчас посиживаю в nuclear option.
How did you got all the money for the courses? I would love to be fly too but it’s too expensive
It's not a course, it's just a "discovery flight"
MSFS = nice visuals and exciting bugs. For real systems and physics simulation. X-Plane
@@andre-7423 PMDG does simulate systems pretty accurately
For the 737 NG, between X-Plane and MSFS options system depth is better with the MSFS PMDG 737 vice the X-Plane Zibo or Levelup 737s
