You can download the startup procedure here (it's a functional procedure, with most of the real-world checks and double-checks removed): ko-fi.com/s/3b80cce74a
@@jonbeckettNope. Airliners are typically handed over to the crew in a powered up state, not cold and dark although we simmers enjoy the challenge. Mainly it’s so the ground engineers can do some reviews and checking over, and also warm up a number of the systems that take some time to get to proper operating status. Plus, you do not make your $400,000/yr pilots have to turn on their own aircraft, lol.
@bennevets2877It’s what many simmers enjoy, which is why PMDG supplies options for different start up states. But you are correct, the “default” state that the PMDG 777 starts up in is correct and typical for airline operations, with basic systems up and running, and not “cold and dark”
a rare movie that can give an old guy like me enough time to follow the instructions. Many young video makers zoom aroung in the cockpit and talk so fast that I can't watch. Thank you.
Just bought this on Xbox and really struggled with it until I found you on here & watched this video. Bought your start up guide and programme my first flight through the MFS. Outstanding help, thanks!
Jon, these were everywhere I went the last day or so. I had to laugh when I saw you in yours yesterday in central UK somewhere (probably filming this). Has to be one of the most popular planes not currently on the MSFS Marketplace. These videos you do are priceless for people like me, so thanks. Some people go through the procedures too quickly but your pace is quite comfortable (pause function included, of course). Not only do you not switch off when it comes to creating content, I spend a good deal of time referring to your videos. Might have to buy you a coffee. 👍🏼🙏
Thank you Jonathan for another quality tutorial, I am more an Airbus pilot and trying to switch to Boeing has required some effort and this B777-300ER definitely was a slight challenge in getting started up (I won't lie) but this tutorial was by far the best I've watched since the release. You were easy to follow along to and went through the steps without it being to overwhelming or complicated, I did decide to support you by purchasing the B777-300ER & B737-800 checklists and they are brilliant and so easy to flow through.
There is a click spot for TOGA on the mcp. You click the "screw" on the panel. The actual toga button is down on the front lower part of the throttles.
Thanks for all your great vids. You dont need to wait for engine rotation before engauging the fuel lever on the 777GE. That comes from a 787/777 rated pilot.
Hi Jonathan. Would you be able to make a video on how to set up the throttles and calibration on the thrustmaster tca captains pack, on this wonderful pmdg 777
Sitting there at Heathrow on vatsim with my push back and engine start clearance. And I cannot get the pushback to work. I had to go reverse thrust and ended up with a tail strike. 😂
Very calm video, my compliments. Been flying the PMDG 737-800 in P3D for a while now but soon with MSFS2020 and will definitely also purchase the 777. Just a question. at 08:32 where you consult LNM, why don't you create a company route there? Or do you not know how that works? You can be honest, then I will let you know.
Nice. I notice no-one playing MSFS seems to wait for engine spool-up before going to TOGA. Is there a setting to have MSFS throw in random real-world problems, e.g. one engine slightly slow to spool up so you'd get initial asymmetrical thrust.
I just noticed this, too, when you pressed toga you did it right from idle. Normally, would you not advance the throttles manually to 60 pct, check if they are stabilized, and THEN press Toga?
@@PeterNGloor I didn't press TOGA. I smoothly pushed the throttles forwards (mostly because I wanted to see - quite apart from TOGA - what % the engines max out at) - but of course auto-throttle kicks in anyway :)
Great video ! I really like this 777,I have the A320 Fenix and 737 PMDG and my frames are pretty good almost 50 fps with all max to ultra but with this 777 start pretty good but sometimes i see my frames drop to 25 fps and is only with this airplane I think something is wrong
Unlike the 737 you do not need to wait for 18 or 25 % N2 when you start the engines. Immediately after you turn the start knob to start position you can introduce the fuel by switching the switch to the up position. The computer will take care of the startup procedure automatically. You better validate it and update the guide.
on old FSX I had the 767 Level D, and it was very much like this one except some small features of the real plane were not modelled - but I guess I might be able to learn this plane. Btw how do you operate the nosewheel steering? Like on the Cessna?
@jonbeckett hello I was watching a video on you tube about running littlenav on another computer like a tablet wile using flightsim to track your route ! But the RU-vid video was missing information from start to finish!
@@martpreston8651 You could run Navigraph on a tablet. LittleNavMap is a windows program, and relies on SimConnect to see where you are. There is a "send" utility that can send simconnect to another computer (I forget it's name), but it's all a bit fragile.
Sorry about that, old boy. Recently had to re-purchase an aircraft (the Cessna 510) that I'd already picked from Cockspur. Had to get it this time from the Marketplace because Cockspur repeatedly knocked off my download midway. Probably had tried over twenty times to get it down. They owe me one!!!
@@kiekiek Exactly this. Had to switch to MS Edge browser as that wasn't immediately obvious in Chrome when I tried the first 20 times. PMDG couldn't even be bothered to advise in the many threads. They are so arrogant that I regret purchasing anything from them. Never their problem, always a msfs limitation or the users fault.
Only the Asobo weather radar, which when I was using it indicated all kinds of precipitation accurately even though some complain. Works adequate for me - plus I use Navigraph’s excellent weather displays as well.
Is that the MSFS warning "You overstressed the aircraft and caused critical damage"? If so you can disable that in Assistance Options - Failure and Damage - Turn off Aircraft Stress Damage.
To release the parking brake just press and hold the button you have assigned to the toe brakes, the lever will release and you’ll be good to go. Think of the parking brake as a lever that holds the toe brakes on as opposed to the parking brake in a car that works independently to the foot brake.
@@Q3arkIt’s not quite that simple - you have to HOLD the toe brakes ON FOR THREE SECONDS, as they’re simulating building up pressure. But even then it can be squirrelly. PMDG is looking into it.
