Designed for new pilots and those curious about X-Plane.  Had a problem with getting the return audio from ATC on the video, but Bob's your uncle!

 

From cold and dark to loading fuel, initializing the aircraft and FMC, connecting to ATC, filing the flight plan, and so on.

 

Watch a little or watch it all-- it's up to you, and what you need (if anything) to maximize your use of the very fine Ramzzess Boeing 777-200LR Worldliner and X-Plane 64-bits.  About 90 minutes.  No music.  If built for entertainment only, this would not be 90 minutes.  It's for use by new owners of the payware B777.  It will be available for viewing after some bit of time, YouTube has to compress it all first.

Really Nice Robert,I don't own The 777 WorldLiner "Y-E-T" But it's just a matter of Time. :smile:

I'll have to look at this Video once it's loaded!

 

 

PS: I just realized we were in the same VA  :lol:  :lol:

Thanks a whole lot for this! I definitely need to watch this. Great resourceful video that is VERY DETAILED! Best one I've seen!!!

Thank you for the compliments.  The folks over at X-Plane seem to like it too.

Mistakes and all...

:clapping:  Wow, Robert, that's a great video. I have been flying the 777 Worldliner for a little while, but I learned some things from this video. Very nicely done and I appreciate that you actually did it online. I'm still trying to find the guts to get a flight online. Watching this video got me a little closer to crossing that threshold. We'll see... :aggressive:

Great video!

I hate to be a naysayer here, and I wouldn't say anything, other then you are presenting this as a tutorial, but there are just too many procedural problems, for this to be rightfully referred to as a tutorial. In addition to the busted altitude and speed restrictions I mentioned in an earlier post, the procedure for your approach was all wrong! One you were coming in at 170ktsat 600ft or less from touchdown Field elevation is 2187ft You were at 2700ft , and you had no flaps deployed. Flaps should be deployed according to schedule which should appear on your PFD, (usually start around 200-210kts). Only then you dropped flaps and gear, which you were still to fast, forcing you to raise your spoilers, which is a no no so late in the approach. At that point you should have gone around. You should be at final landing configuration no later then 1000ft msl.

 

As I said, I wouldn't have said anything if this wasn't presented as a tutorial. As such it will teach bad habits for those just learning. So when presented this way, it's incumbent on the poster, to be as accurate as possible. That's why as a rule I don't do tutorials on complex aircraft (Even though I've been asked to do so, by youtube subscribers). I did do one with the default 737 (Actually the Overland 737, but same difference in terms of lack of systems), but that was FSX procedures, not complex aircraft systems, with real world flight procedures.

So what was wrong with the tutorial from the cold & dark start up phase? I would like to know so that I can do this properly?

 

I appreciate Robert for his time and effort in making such a long video for this purpose of helping others out. But at the same time I'd like to know the proper way that an actual commercial pilot would start the plane up from a cold & dark state.

Good narration and visuals, but I do agree with Tom that the approach was quite unrealistic and unstable. Regardless, thank you for contributing to the community!

As I said, I don't do them as tutorials, but how's a 2:16:00 video for you? I also have others! :lol:

 

Edit: Removed video link, since it's not really relevant to this thread, just presented to make the above point!!

 

Efrain feel free to remove the video link from your response, if you want!
