The Boeing 747 is a Broken Mess...Here's How to Fly it - Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 

i followed these steps and my 747 landed backwards in PUBG erangel military base

Komodo dragons now an international standard of measurement, thanks I thought it was bald eagles per football field

Glad I'm not the only one having trouble with the 747, and being at the right altitude when getting close to the airport

This was two years ago but these issues still happenin. Anyway thank you for this, very helpful. Got yourself another subscriber

I'm glad I found this video I thought I was going crazy with the autopilot on this aircraft

I hope they fix it soon, this plane is a pain to fly right now, which is a shame since the only other airliner is the A320....

When i set the altimeter to 43k and the VS to 2650 the 747 goes like a roller coaster

For some reason I keep having an issue with the altitude hold, let’s say I set it for 18,000ft, it will climb steeply to like, 20,000, and then down to like 10,000 lol and it just keeps going back and forth but refuses to hold at 18, the plane feels like a dolphin swimming through the water lol, anyone else having this issue?

Dang didn't know the wing was that many komodo dragons long

I’ve tried flying this pos quite a few times. The AP painfully bad. The 320 is at least flyable and you can go intercontinental with it, did a flight from KJFK to de Gaulle without much issue. Though I thought many times that I’d have to divert to Ireland or Heathrow for gas. De Gaulle may have given me a number to call though, I may or may not have landed on the wrong runway because my ILS wanted me to

I thought I didn't know what I was doing that makes me feel better.

Thanks. I am glad I’m not the only one that thought this whole game is broken. Have you noticed that auto pilot is broken on a320 and 787? Also taxing 787 is nearly impossible.

Thx, been trying to land this broken functional 747 on FS 2020 for hours, i will try to follow ur guide and see if i succeed.

4:18 legends say if you sqwak 7500, you get to fly in a formation with fighters

I've had the same issues. The aircraft goes up and down like a roller coaster. The BIGGER issue for me is the range. For some reason, even with 100% fuel, I can only get about 5,000 miles or 10 hours of flight time, WAY below it's actual range. Not sure what the heck is going on. Anyone else have this issue?

Now when you take of in the 747 it gets stuck at 100% throttle and it is impossible to reduce the engine power. Internet is full of people complaining about it and still nothing gets done... MS do not have a habit of fixing things, FS98 still has the same bug where -0,0001G will obliterate your plane instantly. FS2020 is pretty to look at but it is a disastrous mess in all other aspects, just like Windows 10...

my plane in vnav likes to up and down repeatedly snd its scary

to fix the swaying thing switch your flight model to modern and it shouldn't go right to left

737 subscribers. Now that's epic.

Remember, this Is a default sim. All these planes are stock and plus PMDG is already working on their planes. I’m not really surprised. But I also fell like this sim flys more realistic them X Plane and P3D as those sims make you feel like your flying on rails. Just my 2 cent.

thank you so much dude holy i suck at using the 747 this helped so much

MFS2020 has focused on and created a wonderful real world arena for builders such as Aerosoft, PMDG and others to bring it to life with realistic aircrafts; give it a few. This is just the beginning. We will see wonderful paywares hitting that sim in rapid successions. And believe me, they are rushing to get them out.

Excellent vid as always, Bevo

Very Informative - thanks

Does FLCH mode not work at all? That's meant to be the correct method of making the plane climb to a certain altitude. I haven't touched the 747 in MSFS much :P

silly question time. how do you do the "travel to" bit?

Yeah I'm fairly new to flight sims and a complete novice to flying in general. I tried to fly both the standard airliners and even I could tell that it surely couldn't be right.

I think I'll stick with the airbus a320neo

Went from Atlanta to London. Night with clouds 3k ft above the runway couldn’t land and ap kept diving me

Thanks for the links!

It’s broken before and it’s still broken now🤔😔

thanks really helped me i was wondoring why it was doing that

The auto throttle will live its own life after re-engaging it for the next flight; SPD mode is forever active 🤕

frequency doesn't work and I put the number on it latter disappear don't know why? I have a lot of trouble flying this aircraft 747-8- and I created someone flight plane in RU-vid and it didn't work as well as they did, don't know why?

I'd like to know why it auto throttles up and down when I don't want it to. Pretty sure autopilot is off.. anyway maybe I should listen first.

Has anyone else had the problem with the purple diamonds not showing up in the flight display for loc and GS? It only happens sometimes.

Idk what you all are talking about I can use autopilot without a problem 😆. Maybe you just need to learn the controls

When using 737, 747 and 787 I have a problem with the trim. Is there a workaround? I trim it like the Cessna but it doesn’t affect at all.

Did you ever manage to make the reserve tanks in the 747-8 work by any chance? I always get a flame out instead of the tanks being used.

My plane stay banking right and fly straight lol

Did you try flying above 30,000ft? I can't get my head around why the airplane loses speed beyond that altitude and stalls as I approach 40,000ft, even though autopilot applies maximum thrust with vertical speed of 1000. Am I missing something? Cause from what I've read, that is normal cruising altitude for 747

Was hoping you'd do a video soon on using the planes menus. Say you miss an approach, how about a tutorial on how to update flight plan?

How can you freely move in the cockpit like you do?

So.. this is what happned 747 is unflyable rn i set a flight plan from toronto to Jfk smooth takeoff autopilot set lnav auto throttle set altitude hold set on 12000 . I pause the game and come back unpause then autopilot yanks the yoke 90' to left despite bank limit at 5' took manual control went to 2000 ft then 17000 regains control align with flight plan set autopilot correctly! Turn it on it proceeds to nosedive and bank at 90' regain manual control and gain control this tym autopilor does no effect but plane is full manual control despite autopilot on. i reset everything try autopilot again proceeds to nosedive and crash on some highway below. Also everything related to ils approach is crap. Im done broo Microsoft i want a refund. Il stick to xplane 11. English not my main lang

Anyone know my 747 takes a nose dive when it gets closer on approach? Could it be icing? Pretty sure my barometer was correct.

Lets be more honest mate! MSFS on the whole is a disastrous buggy mess, sold to the public by false advertising and deceit! If I had to do it again I would'nt want this trash if they were giving it away for free!

Thanks for the vid, I did exactly as you did, I hit the localizer on the diamond and that was going smoothly. I then hit Approach on the second diamond and it was going perfect up until it had to turn for the final stretch then it just spun in circles and went crazy. Would it help if I only hit approach when I'm dead centre on the runway or is it just a matter of being lucky with this buggy mess?

So, will Microsoft fix those ANNOYING BUGS in the autopilot?

I only took off in a 747 and the game just crashed to the Xbox dashboard lol

It's still crap in 2021 anything Microsoft makes sucks.. I was landing this plane in Oct 2021 and it just slammed into the ground for no reason other then being total garbage.. Microsoft really sucks...

my plane loves to go down???

10 days of trying to fly these f'ed up planes and I've decide to quit and go back to FSX until they fix this mess. What a let down that msfs is so incomplete and buggy. I've flown the previous 4 generations of MS flight sim and none had this bad of start. The planes fly like RC models, the avionics would ground an airplane, the ATC sounds like poorly translated Swedish or something. Maybe I'll try DSC world until its fixed?

why is it broken

Whats the difference between LNAV and NVAV?

how do you move the camera freely in the cockpit?

Tutorial to land A320 please!

Ok, some issues. The planes isn't as broken as People think. Ya'll just don't know how to properly use the Autopilot. You should be turning both LNAV and VNAV on. DON'T TOUCH V/S. It's barely used in this plane. Especially since you can use APP and LOC to capture the ILS. So let's take the example that Bevo is doing. During taxi, you should be setting your ALT to the altitude given to you by ATC, turn on the LNAV and VNAV buttons (Before takeoff only 2 green lights on the Autopilot header, turn on the F/D, and set the A/T ARM. Taxi on to the runway, flaps can be set from 10°-20° for takeoff. Take off the plane manually and get up to about 5000 ft activate the Autopilot Master and let the plane start tracking your Flight path. Keep the plane climbing and now PRESS (click on) the altitude button. This sets the altitude in the computer. When ATC tells you to climb and maintain FL210 (21,000 FT) rotate the ATL knob till you hit 21,000 and click it again. That changes the held altitude in the aircraft. VNAV makes the aircraft climb without stalling by using the auto-throttle.

is there any way to get 787 on standard edition?

There are a whole lot of adverse comments I agree with: my own list of problems is long. The first thing we need to do is stop thinking in terms of "game" and think "simulation" (or "replication" if you prefer that term). Microsoft and Asobo need to do the same - why hasn't Microsoft after so many years in the genre not understood we want a simulation - not a game? For those who do want a game then I suggest you go elsewhere because there are alternatives that would satisfy your wants. Now we have a very spectacular platform but with more bugs than a cockroach infestation and why is that? Because everyone is in "game" mode mentally, from the Microsoft people to Asobo - otherwise we would not have this buggy "thing" that has raised my blood pressure to dangerous levels. So what is the point of simulation? It is an attempt to replicate the real thing - so come on people, let's replicate the real thing and get away from this mindset of "it'll do" and "close enough". And another thing for developers … please ask what your potential customers want and need, not what you think they want and need, or what they will accept. Microsoft should know surely that it is a bad business strategy to set out to fail (remember Microsoft Flight?). In the Vietnam war my government gave us a weapon they developed that was absolutely useless for infantrymen and we refused to carry it - they never asked an infantryman what he wanted and needed. Here we are now in the 21st century still being forced to accept inferior products … perhaps the planet really is in decline.

This stupid plane doesn’t let me turn down the fcking engines. PLEASE FCKING HALP.

To make a long story short.. x plane is better

The way you pronounce 'livery' 🤣

Next time please flip your picture the right way.

landing in half of runway with B747 hmmm :D comic.. funny not real

1:42 The first syllable of "Livery" is "liv". You pronounced "liv" as rhyming with "hive". It rhymes with "give". So, "livery" rhymes with "give"-ery, not "hive"-ery. Reference dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/english/livery

I'm first here

When using 737, 747 and 787 I have a problem with the trim. Is there a workaround? I trim it like the Cessna but it doesn’t affect at all.
