Thanks so much!! I used the exact same plan and I am completing the flight. At first I didn't even know how to clear it! This tutorial is the best, and simplest. Now I can do my dream flights with autopilot!
Thank you so much just came from microsoft flight simulator where u can create your own flight plan on a map and the autopilot will do that for you this was a massive help!!
Very simple yet informative. Thanks a lot. I’m always try to fly as realistically as possible, yet I always did VFR because I couldn’t set up the FMC. This cleared up the confusion. Thanks!
Thanks for making a quick basic how to use tutorial that isn’t 45 mins to an hour long! It’s so annoying when I just wanna learn something quickly and have to sit through an hour of them rambling on
Jeebers! Where were you while I was watching the other 43 videos that didn't help. THIS IS THE ONE !! Most important... telling us what can be skipped. Excellent Starting point, I can fiddle around until I get the concepts then start going new places. Meanwhile, I'll do this a few more times.
It would have been helpful to step through your flight plan in the Map mode and view the legs on the CDU. A good quick start on setting up a plan though. 👍
At 4:25 you set up the HYD pumps incorrectly. The engine A pumps should remain in the on position at all times and the elec pumps should be off until after engine start. Also when inputting the lat long coordinates you say it's only necessary for this airport. What do you mean exactly? When aligning the IRS you always need to input the current lat long.
I'm having issues with adding more than 3/4 waypoints etc. And when I begin to fly the fmc does not fly the route that is log into it. Do you have a video on this?
hey bro your tut really helped me out! but i have a question..how do i get my ILS feq for my arriving runway? Like, X plane 11 Map only lets me see the origin Airport I am at, and I cannot really scroll through the map very far at all to see my arrival airport. Also, do you have an ILS tut? right now I am flying to KSFO from KSAN. thanks again! :)
Thanks for your video. Quick question - how come you can be so far back and not see the seat's headrest? I've been trying to figure out how i can see everything without seeing the seat - like I can is FSX. Thanks.
Great video. But how can i make the plane to follow the flight plan? Turn on cmd, lat nav? No matter what i do my plane always flight straight ahead. HELP! From Brazil, salute!
Thank you so much. I'm new to simming and after setting up the fmc, the plane doesn't respond to it. I think I need to press a nav button on the ap panel but don't know which one. Could you please help me out? Many thanks ☺
Sry just wondering. How do you make the aircraft actually execute the flight plan as input in fms? I mean should I just turn on AP or VNav or Nnav? That k you!
Hey mate, wonderful tutorial! How do I execute the speed/altitude as well as the heading? I've been using LNAV but that doesn't seem to be calibrating the speed and altitude. Thanks a lot
Alvise Da Mosto you want vnav. Lnav will only handle decent info that you put in fmc. Vnav will fly based on what you altitude setting and waypoints are.
How do you know what runways you need if you don't have the ATC instructions? X-plane isn't really too good about giving you this information upfront. Heck you gotta manually dial in ATIS
In real world, the flight plan will have an expected runway based on current destination airport conditions. When ATC on center frequency instructs you to begin your descent, they will give you your approach vectors to your expected ILS runway. Once you have your assigned runway, the second pilot will go to the DEP/ARR page and program it in. Most times though, ATC will give you specific headings and speeds all the way to the runway, at least at busy airports. If they clear you for a visual approach, you can get to the runway however you want, which generally would be VNAV or RNAV, which is when you would use the FMC like what he’s showing you. Then once the ILS is captured, you fly it down to the runway.
is there a way to clear the route and start a new one once in the air ? or i should delete the waypoints one by one and enter the new route ? i tried that once and the flight went terribly wrong :D if you know how to change route during flight plz tell me or make a tutorial about it , thanks !
alright thanks for the tip, but what about returning to take off airport (due to technical issue or whatever) if i change the flightplan and then click on arrival and set the original airport it will still work ? btw i also noticed that i cannot change/delete the active leg , and that can be problematic, i dunno if it is a bug tho
Please, how can I delete current waypoint (marked as magenta)? Pleaseee!!! When I'm flying and need to change arrival procedure, sometimes I get "discontinuity" in magenta, and then I can't replace or delete. I can't do anything! Thank you!
Ricardo Eduardo Alves de Souza when it's pink it's to late to just remove. You will have to change it via direct. So click the button that says dir. then click the waypoint below the pink one and then clink the top button next to dir.
i unfortunately dont have an a320 for xplanes11 and im also not to familiar with them. I fly 737-8 in real life so im familiar with them. If you have a 320 you want to send and i can learn and start doing tutorials on im open to that.
I have not tried anything with VR so I cant give you a accurate answer. I would assume however that it should seeing how VR goggles are display/video only. They should have no impact on hardware or controls.
this is the only easy tutorial that actually explains how to use the fmc. thank you!
Thank you!
I agree, i have been searching for this kind of tutorial for 1 month. Very good tutorial.

Best tutorial on programming the FMC!!!
The best FMC tutorial on youtube! Good job man😉
I am thanking you even before I watch the video - I need help badly! Best wishes from Ireland.
Thank you so much! If you need anything please don't hesitate to ask.
Me too and also from Ireland
me 3, it seems we are all lost in Ireland
Eezee Listen same here, again from Ireland
Thanks just getting back into desk top flying got a little rusty kuddos
Thank you for the help, works so well on the XPlane mobile Md 80
thank you soo much . it helped me a lot . i used to create a flight plane and it would just create random lines on the map lmao

Nice video tutoriel, question, how do you know what flight trans (ex Lazuz4) to choose from? is that found anywhere?
Short and on point ! love it !
Very professional, good job!
Great video sir. Thank you!
Best fucking tut out there!!! This is what I needed, going to hit that Sub
John Bothe thank you so much sir!
Nice one well explained 👍🏴
no one explained this as well as you, thankyou
Thanks man! I needed help with that.
No problem sir! Glad I can help.
thanks a lot for doing this tutorial,helped me solved a lot of problems
do you use live traffic to get all those other southwest planes and other real airline planes to spawn in, or do you use a different plugin
Omg thank you so much sir! This helped A LOT! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

so quick and helpful
thanks alot
Helpful video, thanks. Am I correct in assuming the "legs" after the runway at KABQ are missed approach legs?
yes, as well as directions to holding if needed.
thank you. On my x-plane 11 the CDU/FMC is totally different then your's why is that did i do something wrong when i brought it
hey bro your tut really helped me out! but i have a question..how do i get my ILS feq for my arriving runway?

okay thanks man!
no problem bud! if you have any other questions dont hesitate to ask. I will be releasing more vids soon.
will do thanks alot!
I got it I got it! It works. Tks!
best tutoriall so far!
Thanks for your video. Quick question - how come you can be so far back and not see the seat's headrest? I've been trying to figure out how i can see everything without seeing the seat - like I can is FSX. Thanks.
Warren Alexander Change the angle view. It's under the settings in graphics.

Does the FMC come with X-Plane 11 or do you have to download it? Many thanks.
CountNadir comes with it.
Thanks friend! Really appreciate it. Now I really ought to buy it then since the FMC in my FSX is blank.
how you know it's laluz4 ? where do we see that ?
Sry just wondering. How do you make the aircraft actually execute the flight plan as input in fms? I mean should I just turn on AP or VNav or Nnav? That k you!
after all the flight data is in the fmc then to engage it simply turn on AP and then lnav.
I have another video on VNAv
do you mean cmd? i can't find an ap button. where is it?
would you find the trans on the charts or the page used to create the flight plan?
Hey mate, wonderful tutorial! How do I execute the speed/altitude as well as the heading? I've been using LNAV but that doesn't seem to be calibrating the speed and altitude.
Thanks a lot

How do you know what runways you need if you don't have the ATC instructions? X-plane isn't really too good about giving you this information upfront. Heck you gotta manually dial in ATIS
How do you know your arrival when speaking to clearance delivery at your origin airport?
In real world, the flight plan will have an expected runway based on current destination airport conditions. When ATC on center frequency instructs you to begin your descent, they will give you your approach vectors to your expected ILS runway. Once you have your assigned runway, the second pilot will go to the DEP/ARR page and program it in.

FA FA you can go into arrival and decent and change them by deselecting them with the side buttons. Then re select your new route
alright thanks for the tip, but what about returning to take off airport (due to technical issue or whatever) if i change the flightplan and then click on arrival and set the original airport it will still work ? btw i also noticed that i cannot change/delete the active leg , and that can be problematic, i dunno if it is a bug tho
have you made the video for setting heading and course for 737-800? if so where can i find it?
No I have not but I will.
Please, how can I delete current waypoint (marked as magenta)? Pleaseee!!!
When I'm flying and need to change arrival procedure, sometimes I get "discontinuity" in magenta, and then I can't replace or delete. I can't do anything! Thank you!
Ricardo Eduardo Alves de Souza when it's pink it's to late to just remove. You will have to change it via direct. So click the button that says dir. then click the waypoint below the pink one and then clink the top button next to dir.
do i have to set heading and course; if so how do i determine them? a vid would be great on that.
I will make a video for that :)
Great video! What site is best to create a flight plan?
Greg Wootton try "skyvector"
On arrival page how do u know what star to put
is this that www.x-fmc.com/ plugin addon? or what is this for?
hi can you put up a video which shows you how to taxi and actually take off and land I have windows 10 on my computer
Alan Gagan sure!
whats the mod for viewing the panels?
How do you know what sids and sans to choose
Hey, could you tell me how to face risk vectors...?
please give me more details. I am unfamiliar with the term or what you mean by " risk vectors"
tysm
How do you chose Sid's and stars as well as runway I'm going from ksea to kjfk
you select them by pressing the buttons on the fmc next to the ones you want.
And what about fuel onboard? Zfw? Reserve fuel? Oac?
Hi, is this default 737 or you using Zibo mod?
default plane bud.
I’m confuesd, My nav data isn’t out of date??
Quick tip for users with avast... Disable it then run xplane because I went on a wild goose chase to get my executable file back😂😭😭
How do u know what sids or stars you are using
As in, how do you know what ones to select/use?
Xplanes11 tutorials with tim Yes same doubt here. I guess u input it via flight plan
Xplanes11 tutorials with tim yea
Delta Airlines Aviation your flight planner that you use will tell you what ones to use.
where? on which flight planner
How do I know what my SIDS is?
Do you have the actual flight plans is tought to me getting sid and stars
what are you using for your flight planning?
Hi , great vid but my fmc doesn’t get that flicking on the ends and I can’t type in the icao, do you why this is? Thanks a lot !!
what PLANNER DO U USE
sim brief
What Will Happen Now, Will It Change Something?
Hey tim long time no speak! Hope all is well.
hey bud! all is good! how are things going for you?
Pretty good man, got to land a cessna last weekend aha
I cant get the discontinuity away please help
Robic click the button above the waypoint and then enter on the fmc.
Does the X-Plane ATC work with FMC?
Stebedos yes it does
I don't have Laluz4 in my page...
My fmc say keys not active i need help
for my orgin whats London heathrow????
J0mzy118 egll or lhr
I still dont underatand the mach speed dont know why but im in the dark
do some a320 tutorials plz
i unfortunately dont have an a320 for xplanes11 and im also not to familiar with them. I fly 737-8 in real life so im familiar with them. If you have a 320 you want to send and i can learn and start doing tutorials on im open to that.
Mine does not say out of date, it says keys not active. Won't do anything...
Try clicking the clr button multiple times. Make sure you also click the text on the fmc between the [ ] and make sure they are blinking
Thanks. I will give that a shot, although I feel like I have tried that. Does the FMC also work while using VR goggles?
I have not tried anything with VR so I cant give you a accurate answer. I would assume however that it should seeing how VR goggles are display/video only. They should have no impact on hardware or controls.
Bad Audio. Quiet. Loud as hell when adverts kick in.
i received an email but dont understand
Alan Gagan email from? I said sure, I will make a video about what you asked.
1:26
?
i always get key not active please help haha
Jeff Dunam if your fmc always says key not active no matter why, then you need to try to reinstall.
Xplanes11 tutorials with tim hi thanks for the reply, it turns out I just needed to press the hyphens haha
Jeff Dunam oh. You were talking about the default out of date message on the fmc. Sry, I thought it was something else.
Xplanes11 tutorials with tim it ok no worries, I appreciate the reply
thank you soo much . it helped me a lot . i used to create a flight plane and it would just create random lines on the map lmao
