Thanks very much for this tutorial sir, it will help me to get back into the saddle again. The winter has arrived, it's grey outside, so perfect conditions to go sim flying again. I'm a glider pilot during the spring, the summer and the fall, but I reserve the winter time for flight simulation. During the gliding season I almost never touch the joystick because of the fine motor skills. Thanks again, looking forward to other video tutorials you made.
Good video, I like that you are organized and follow procedures...when you check the fuel synoptic during the Before Start Flow, if the fuel quantity in tanks 2 & 3 is greater than the fuel quantity in tanks 1 & 4, then Fuel Overrides 2 & 3 FWD & AFT pumps come on in addition to the Main Tank Pumps 1, 2, 3, 4. By procedurally doing the Before Taxi Flow and checklist, you caught the mistake when you pushed recall.
Just a note, you forgot to turn on Wing and Logo lights... not sure if you knew or if you don't need them, but I thought all lights are required? Otherwise, great review and video! :)
A very well constructed video, I would like to do something similar for myself. Where would I find help and information I how to set up similar videos. Many thanks Barry
Hi Barry. Thanks, glad you liked the video! I'm not sure about where you'd look for walkthroughs of how to start producing videos; I'm sure there are some on RUclips or if you Google for them, but I haven't looked. For my videos, I used Nvidia ShadowPlay to record the screen in-game, and (in my later videos) I have a good microphone connected through a USB audio interface that supports XLR microphones. For the simple editing I do any video editing program will do; in the past I've used Adobe Premier since I had an Adobe subscription, but now I use the free edition of DaVinci Resolve on Windows or Shotcut on Linux... all are overkill for what I needed.
Glad you liked the video! At the time I was still using EZCA for cameras, but since I've switched to ChasePlane I don't have any of my old EZCA camera definitions around anymore and I don't think I've built new ones for the 747 in ChasePlane yet. Sorry!
I've not used a product that covers all airports -- in this video I'm using FlightBeam's KSFO (www.flightbeam.net/ksfo.html/). REX has a world airports package that may make all of the airports look a little better, but I haven't tried it (www.rexsimulations.com/wwa.html).
Great video. I am just learning about the B747. Which scenery do you use for KSFO and the surrounding area? I love the clouds. Which weather package do you use? I am on FSX:SE, do you think it is worth switching to P3D? If yes, I'd like to switch sooner rather than later before I invested more money into FSX:SE add-ons. My setup is: i7-7700, 32GB RAM, GTX-1080, 512G SSD. Currently I own the PMDG 737NGX, ORBX Global and Vector. No ground services yet. Which ground services do you recommend. in advance, thank you very much for your help.
Hi there. This is FlightBeam KSFO HD and Orbx Northern California. Weather is ActiveSky 2016 + ActiveSky Cloud Art. I'm a fan of P3D--it's actually being worked on and improved upon, unlike FSX, but it is more expensive and you have to plan on buying the major new versions every couple years if you want them, and many add-on vendors like PMDG make you buy a more expensive version of planes to run in P3D. So for me, yes, it's worth it because the sim runs better and looks better, but there are trade-offs.
@@imcoolgovind I don't remember the numbers from back then, no. I could *usually* get through a full flight, but every once in a while I'd get OOM on final approach. So it was definitely right on the edge.
@@racingmars especially since you use high quality airports. I use default airports with advanced textures..yet in KSFO or high density american airports...after I land I remain with about only 300 MB of VAS.
It depends on the plane. For most higher-end add-ons, like the PMDG plane here, there's a preference you can set for how it starts up. In PMDG planes, it's done through the FMC/CDU (whatever you want to call the box you type the flight plan and such into), where you can set what's called the "default panel state" to Cold and Dark. For other planes, you may need to shut everything down yourself, then save the scenario and either make it your default scenario in Prepar3d or load that scenario when you want to fly that plane starting cold and dark.

Great explanation! Thank you for posting.
Hey dude! Great Vid! Around 35:05 u said arm all the doors but u actually disarmed them all... Just a Little reminder

Thanks very much for the prompt reply looks like I have a lot of spadework ahead of me.
Is that Stock KSFO scenery or is that an add on and if so which? This thing looks terrific and a Great in-depth Video. Thanks for sharing!
This is KSFO from Flightbeam Studios -- an amazing add-on scenery.
It sure is thanks for getting back to me on that scenery! Gotta have it now :)
Wonders when and who will model the A-380 to this detail...😉
Amazing video nicely done,do you mind sharing your cam views they are real cool or if available in chaseplane community share ?

What airport environment that works with FSX can I download that will cover all airports to make them look more realistic, like yours?

mrwilsox Hey, I want to know How can I buy all this thing to set-up at my place..? And how much it will cost? And where can I buy?
with this much of tight sceneries and high mod airplane..how much VAS is being used at KSFO? I see in this video that it is still P3d 32 bit sim.
Oh yeah, at the time, VAS was very tight. I've long since moved on to P3Dv4 and later, which is 64-bit, so VAS is no longer the problem.
@@racingmars I know.. But do u remember how much vas u had used at that time in this scenario? An estimate?
@@imcoolgovind I don't remember the numbers from back then, no. I could *usually* get through a full flight, but every once in a while I'd get OOM on final approach. So it was definitely right on the edge.

Great video. Wish I had the money to buy it, but as a poor student that is not really an option! ;)
yup..
same as mine!!!
I'm dying to get xp11...1080to...and vr oculus but...still watching videos...no $😢
Yes you are correct
I want this but I have no money
Can you do ILS landing with FMC please.
how do you start off cold and dark in a plane in p3d v4
It depends on the plane. For most higher-end add-ons, like the PMDG plane here, there's a preference you can set for how it starts up.

What camera mod do you use
EZDok (v1)
hi what processor and graphic card you have??
i7-5820K with a GTX 1080
very nice thanks
Hi, how much RAM do you have?
16GB
Usman Jilani Thaks to 32 bit fsx and p3d only use 4 gigs of memory anyway
