bbj livery like this?

Yup, hope someone makes this a livery for the sim.

This BBJ is a nice clean livery.  Maybe someone will add it to the Request folder at flghtsim.to

Done. 

Please support this request on flightsim.to

Support A BBJ Livery For The Bredok 737Max

Edit: I watched Chock's video review, but it seems to be missing the landing part?

Also, in terms of procedures (I haven't flown airliners in the sim for years, so I might be completely wrong): Aren't you supposed to arm lnav, vnav, arm at, then hit toga as you commence the take off roll? Then as you hit the ap, plane maintains <250 kts below 

10,000 feet?

You can arm vnav and Lnav if you want to fly the vertical and lateral profile as programmed in your Fmc. But you can also takeoff with HDG and Flight level change. It is up to the pilot how he wants to fly the aircraft. Normally plane keeps the speed restrictions if Vnav is engaged.

I figured at one hour and eleven minutes the video was already long enough without stretching it to a landing, but there was another reason I didn't include a landing and that was because I suspected it would be patched/improved and might need a follow up video, which now know it almost certainly will, given that it appears to be getting patches which expand its capabilities and more or less make such videos obsolete.

You are correct, you can arm stuff on the MFD and use TOGA if you like, and go with the autopilot after about 400 feet AGL, but you can fly manually if you like. Normally airlines would probably do much of that, but in a flight sim we can do whatever we like of course. Specific airlines will have their own rules about that in their SOPs, but at Chock's airways the SOP rules are: 'Al can fly the plane how he feels like doing it at the time so long as he doesn't crash it, and not only is smoking allowed on Chock's airline, it is in fact compulsory.' lol.

Jokes aside, quite often in real life ATC will give you a 'no speed restriction' for example, in which case you might choose to go faster than 250 knots below 10,000 feet. They will do that almost all the time for large airliners, since something big like the 747 might need to go at or above 250 knots at high TOWs anyway. You hear the no speed restriction call on the radio all the time at EGCC.

Where is the toga button located?

I'm not sure why you picked that particular quote as you could as well have quoted the "annoying idjiat" comment it was obviously meant as an answer to. And I'm also not sure why you are leading a thread that has become an exchange of expirience with the product for the last 20 pages or so back to a controversy.

forget it, i just get really really tired by that one guy, its always the same with him, bashing down stuff.

fact is outside this community, avsim has not such a good name..ask yourself why.....

i am here because a few ppl do really have usefull info

In MSFS by default it is assigned to the Enter key, but you might want to change that. In the VC of this add-on the button is not present on the throttle. On the real thing it is here (this is a pic of the Bredok3D 737's throttle, but on the real thing there is a big button here which sticks up about a centimetre so you can feel it):

As you probably know, the location of that trigger button on the throttle and the difficulty with click spot location in flight sim VCs makes it difficult to make it an accessible button in a VC for TOGA, so only a few developers ever really bother doing that and they instead normally place the clickspot somewhere else of course (usually a screw on the panel or some such). But I don't know if this has been done on this product, so it probably relies on a key command or hardware button press.

If you have a hardware throttle which has buttons on it, you can assign one of those in the location nearest to where that button is on the pic, and it would be then fairly realistic, for a Boeing at least. TO/GA on an A320 is just a detent you get to by shoving the thrust levers forward to that position since the thrust levers on the Airbus are not powered like they are on the 737.

The same is probably true for the thrust reverse levers, which do work in the VC, but it's probably easier to just assign a toggle key or maybe two, to their function, because they are hard to move manually in the VC without clashing with other clickable stuff. That's a limitation of how VCs function really, so it's not unique to this add-on.

Having said all that, I would not expect this add-on to be super-realistic with TO/GA behaviour, since it is really a 20 quid jump in and go type of thing rather than a study sim along the lines of iFly and PMDG for considerably more cash. That may change with mods and patches, but it may not.

De-icing?

Shift + H for the Pitot Tube.

A couple of switches way up in the overhead panel do Wings & Engines?

Now where is something for the windscreen?

Thought I would visit Dallas Fort Worth where real weather is 8F!

Online comms with a Texas native last night, they suggested there are no snow plows in TX.

Veracity?, don't know, but I was in Seattle about 10 years ago and & I was told they had had to cope with snow with, allegedly, 1 snow plow, the previous Winter.

Anyway, I need de-ice for the windscreen.

Anyone?

How about >  go to your keyboard settings - show all possible assignments, and then set TOGGLE WINSCREN DEICE to a key.  I set it to 'i' for ice so I don't forget!  Works great!

Thanks.

I have that, I thought there might have been a switch somewhere that I missed.😀

Ah! No - sorry!  Hopefully the developer will continue to add more switches and extra functionality as he goes.  I hope he gets rid of the 'double / blurred writing' effect next on the overhead panel. 
I think if he continues work on the overhead, which as we know contains a significant amount of the systems, he is on the write track.

That's what "ignore user" is there for. I find it quite useful and am adding to my list all the time - life's too short to listen to vexatious ranting.

I'm just going by the videos, but there seems to be a significant difference in texture quality between the overhead panel and the rest of the vc, for example, the pedestal.
