Absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for this series, can't wait for them all to come out so I can start flying this thing without feeling like a complete idiot!
I've been hardcore airbus until this 787 came out. It's close enough to airbus that I could figure most of it out, and with the addition of the HUD it's now my favorite aircraft. Just a shame my sim is very unstable so its pot luck when I wake up in cruise as to if the sim is still running
My favorite mfs instructor is back! :) Your A320 series was amazing and is a basis of my Airbus knowledge / skills. Now I'm planning to learn 787 thanks to your new series. I can't wait for next video :)
Thanks, great video. Watched it with a fellow enthusiast, he said "the 787 is almost more Airbus than Airbus in some ways" kind of know what he means. Lol What an amazing aircraft. I can see why you love flying it. Thanks again.
I learned how to fly the Airbus in the sim from watching your tutorials so to now see that you’re doing the 787 is such good news. I’ve been wanting to do some longer haul sim flights so this is perfect. Will there be further videos in this series for the decent, approach and landing etc? I’d love to get on a 787 as a passenger someday, I’ve been on other aircraft countless times but I’d imagine the Dreamliner is quite an experience.
This is a cool coïncidence: when I needed instruction for the Toliss Airbuses I found your excellent channel, and when I need the same for MSFS 787 here your are again with an experience with the real plane! Can it be that your destiny is to be our instructor?
Great video which I learned a lot from. Thank you very much! I am of course looking forward to the video on how you eat your lunch now that you dont have a table as per the Airbus 😉😁
Looking forward to the B787 landing tutorial. Question in advance: Comparing to A320's landing, typically pulling FPA at 0.3nm before FAF (to reach 3.0 path angle), wondering when to pull FPA for B787? (just tried the same 0.3nm, but seems not quite working for B787).
Another masterly tutorial. You're so clear and patient with your explanations, would it appeal to you to do some training for your operator? Secondly, the whole heading bug thing is so very Boeing and still a little bit puzzling to me in some ways. Obviously I can see how it comes into play in 'heading select' mode, but why is it so important to keep the heading bug centred in lnav? Is it just good practice, or does it actually have some effect on the aeroplane?
Great Video as always 😃 couple of questions :) How accurate are the climb rates in the sim compared to the real aircraft? With the aircraft being as powerful as it is, would you often find that VNAV SPD THR REF modes have you climbing at 4,000fpm? I understand you mention you will make a tutorial for decent and landing so won’t ask about that yet, just curious, pacx and slc constantly marking me down for ‘extreme flying conditions’ while using these modes, same in relation to the bank angle, is it fairly accurate as to how the aircraft would fly? Basically are the pax programmes being wet flannels? 😂 Sorry for length, wondered if anyone else had these issues with pax addons TIA 😃
After the 20 TPR is set and you press TOGA if you are using a controller do you need to still move the throttles forward? Will it change any performance or does the auto throttle bypass any manual input? Also what is the N1% for the GE engines without the TPR? Thanks
Whats an average clime rate? MY sim jumps up to 4,000+ on the initial climb while staying under 250kts under FL100. Any thoughts? Maybe its just the Sim but it wants to turn into a rocketship.
On your video when you switch to FL170 it jumps up to 5000 fmp. Guess it must be aggressive to keep that speed and raise pitch to keep speed and up you go….
