When flying the default 737-800, how do you switch between vor1 and vor2? Also, if I wanted to fly a departure on a radial of one vor (like SFO r-342) and then bisect the intersection REBAS using vor SAU r-035 (This is from the Quiet Two SID from KSFO) how do I continue on SFO r-342 and bisect SAU r-035? The tutorials that I have found all use smaller planes. I would like a tutorial that uses a 737-800 or other bigger plane.

No need to switch anything on any part of the route you described.As a suggestion: Make sure you set up the EFIS as shown in (1), in case you need to don't forget to press the CTR button to get into full rose mode. Next, set up your radios like (2) if you like SFO to NAV1, SAU to NAV2. Now that's pretty much everything you need at least up to REBAS.To navigate you could also use the RMI, but it's quite small and less readable than the ND in the stock aircraft.Depart SFO (I took 1L in this case) and intercept R-342 SFO. (3) shows me on runway track, now at 4 DME about to turn left heading 320 to intercept, shown in (4).In (5) we are on R-342, and now the green bearing pointer is where to look at, because that's where your NAV2 station is related to you. Since we are looking for a radial (which is always going away from the station), we need to look at the tail end of the pointer, not the arrow. Now we simply wait until the tail reads 035. Alternatively you can watch out for a SFO DME of 19 miles. So you can tell we reached REBAS in (6). Works pretty well, and that even in a stock aircraft. :( If you need any more assistance feel free to ask.

Fantastic! This is very clear.I know the principles are identical between smaller planes and bigger ones, but the instruments are arranged differently. Once again, I wish there was a tutorial teaching IFR flight using commercial jets like the 737-800 default.So, just a couple of questions. When you say "Make sure you set up the EFIS as shown in (1)" you mean make sure that the side switches are set to vor1 and vor2, respectively, not to off or ADF, right? Are there any other adjustments I need to make to the EFIS besides these?After intercepting R-342 (shouldn't that be R-011?) SFO after take off and at at 4 DME, when I turn left heading 320 to intercept R-342, I use the heading indicator, right?Thanks again. You made a complicated issue for me easy to understand. Good job.

Hey, thanks and glad I have been able to help. :( Ok first of all, the EFIS panel can be set up to your likes, same goes for the nav settings. I chose this setting because I feel it's maybe the most comfortable setup for this particular situation.The two small switches you mention should indeed be set to VOR. Those switches will turn on and off the nav IDs and respective DMEs in the lower ND corners, but also the bearing pointers. Now the left switch controls the cyan pointer (NAV1 or ADF1) while the right one controls the green one (NAV2 or ADF2). You can argue wether you need the left switch in this case, because the big CDI already displays SFO so you definately don't need the cyan pointer here. But you do need its DME indication, so the switch should indeed be set to VOR, not OFF (even less ADF).The right one triggers our SAU indication (green pointer plus DME in the lower right corner of the ND), which we need for obvious reasons.You are right, the first part of the depature (out of the 1s runways) is a R-011 intercept, which I tried to depict in (3). You fly that radial until reaching D4.0 SFO (lower left corner in that picture), then turn left heading 320 to intercept R-342 (so during the 320

So....when are you going to make your video tutorial????? :(

Never ever, haha... :( I guess there is already tons of stuff out there. I could eventually offer a live demo via Multiplayer if the need arises. One of the few cases where it would interestingly make any sense since we are talking about stock aircraft here, which should work "beautifully" via shared cockpit. If you need such a demo gimme a hollar and we could try to work something out.
