- Hi all, I'm a PMDG tech team member and real life 737 pilot and today I've created this video to show you some of the abilities of the PMDG 737-700 for MSFS. It is intended as first in a whole series to follow where I'll be showing some non normal operation of the airplane.
Before we start I would like to offer my sincere thank you to VATSIM Germanies Regional Group Bremen, who managed to facilitate me on todays online day. Great job gentleman!
RG Bremen runs the Hamburg online day every thursday from 187 to 20z and I can strongly recommend to visit them!
In todays video we will look at the dual FMC failure.
Many of you think modern airliners are dependant on their computers. And you're right to a certain extend. In this video we will see what happens when those actually fail and we are left without an FMC.
How do you navigate? What about approach speeds?
The video has been taken using a pre-release beta version of the product, so you can expect to see some issues that will be fixed before release. There's no need to point those out as the team will be aware and working on them already. One example is the missing trim sounds which are still to be added.
If you like my videos please consider a small donation as it's taking a lot of time and effort to create these.

This series of videos is not intended as tutorials, even though I occasionally do some explaning when I think it is worth it, but they are intended as a demonstration of the capabilities of the PMDG 737-700 for Microsoft Flight Simulator and what it can look like when being flown by a professional pilot.
I'll be closing this introduction by saying that I'm not a professional TH-camr or Streamer and these videos are my very first that actually get more than a hundret clicks. I have never before created such content so bear with me for doing beginner mistakes.
I record straight from the sim without any fancy stuff going on in the background.

Thanks for taking our flightsim to a new level, I will have you and your videos in my cockpit of my 737 on a second monitor at all times. Great work thanks again and all the best LeSeur.
Very good landing, You landed it like the real one. I feel that this plane have his own accurate physics and ground model. Amazing.
So interesting to hear your reasoning and what you take into consideration when deciding on which airport would be most suitable for diversion. I also loved to hear how you mistakenly used the "two blue one read, engines dead" callsign 😂
Thank you! Its really fine, what you do. The Difference is for me, the ATC. We can now also learn, how the failures handle with ATC. Dankeschön. Bitte mach es so weiter!
Danke, das werde ich!
After a long day with an exam this morning and work this afternoon, it was amazing coming home and seeing this. Again, great work by the PMDG team!
Thank you again for the great video. The information is clear and concise. I know it's not meant to be a tutorial, but I've been learning a lot from your videos.
This is going to be my favourite toy before command training :)
Thanks a lot for this videos, they are a gem for us simmers coming from RL 73 pilot, keep it up Emi.
Nice demonstration and nice video.
But what I would like to note, Germania had a base in Bremen, where the planes were also serviced there.
Rostock indeed, too, where the 737 often landed in the past.
Awesome video!!! Thank you very much!!! 💪🏻
Can't wait and thank you so much for the videos!!
This series of videos is great. Any chance you can simulate dual ADIRS fault during cruise?
Good idea, I'll look into it! Can't promise when it's going to come though.
I can't wait for this to come out
It'll be worth the wait, that much I can promise you!
Heckuva job managing the cockpit! Thanks for putting this on, really liked it a lot. Incidentally, in case I missed it, was this a planned failure or were you taken by surprise? Tschüss!
Ahh 😯. Ok. I finally found the description. And furthermore, being a rookie TH-cam’er, you did a fantastic job. Lastly, I’m on the edge of my set at waiting for this ac. Luckily I’ve got some experience in Xplane w/Zibo mod. Thanks again
Another nice video Emi! Keep them coming!
Dankjewel!
Another fantastic video, feels like I am doing a type rating or conducting line indoc training watching your videos. Excellent stuff, from an old B732 drvr lol
Thanks! Would have loved to have flown the 732 at some point in the past. But I guess the next generation of pilots will say exactly the same about the 737NG and at some point at the end of my career probably even the MAX.
@@A330Driver yes lol, 732 was loud and smokey I didn’t fly it long unfortunately. I flew in and out of gravel runways up North, FO was very busy with bleed configuration for takeoff and landing. FO was busy with manual weight and balance and making TOLD cards on each leg. Enjoy the new stuff buddy, it’s fantastic equipment.
Informative video as always ❤
very good video and thank you very much for taking your time to make these videos! do you mind doing "AIRSPEED UNRELIABLE" for the B737? thank you
Emanuel, sag mal, wie lange fliegst du schon in der Airline als aktiver Pilot? Das ist einfach immer und immer wieder so krass beeindruckend mit welchem umfangreichen Wissen die Leute im Cockpit sitzen. Wieviele Themen so verinnerlicht sein müssen. Ich meine... die ganzen Themen rund um Luftrecht, Flugzeugarchitektur, technische Feinheiten und Zusammenhänge der Technik (zb. while Eng start packs off) alles in allem zu berücksichtigen, dann noch alle Systeme zu monitoren.. dazu noch Funk, mögliche Meldungen EICAS.. Checkliste, ich komm da einfach nicht drauf klar. Ich bin selber seit ich 18 bin am FSX und bin immer noch überwältigt wieviel man allein in der NGX wissen muss und wenn man online fliegt. Und wenn ich hier die Videos sehe ist das schon mit einem Schmunzeln anzusehen wie "leicht" das wirkt.. Wieviel einfach in "real" zu tun ist. Unermüdend beeindruckend!
In meiner jetzigen Airline seit 2018. Ja, es ist eine Menge, aber man hat ja auch eine super Ausbildung absolviert. Pilot zu sein heißt niemals auszulernen. Sein Leben lang wird man fortgebildet, sei es durch Simulatortraining oder durch Seminare. Das hat auch definitiv seinen Sinn.
Great content buddy, nice videos. Just a small point of criticism. The additional bug should be VREF + 15 on the 700 while on the 800 is + 20.
Regards from a colleague :)
True point!
Amazing videos, I love how in-depth you're going with the systems and procedures, the exact kind of content I was hoping for regarding such a high complexity aircraft! Also, I was just curious, is there a specific reason why you speak to the ATC with a stronger accent? I'm not used to hearing the ATC in Europe so that's why I'm asking! Thanks and hope to see more videos!! You're doing an amazing work!!
mmh, no reason that I can think of. I guess it's just being used to it from work.
I do notice that when I'm flying over the UK i usually speak with a british accent, in Maastricht airspace with a slight Dutch one.
In flight simulation it kinda averages out a bit.
@@A330Driver that's interesting!! I already noticed most real life pilots have a "radio voice" haha, it seems to happen everywhere, I'm sure I'll have my own radio voice too once I start flying! Thanks for the reply! :)
THANK YOU!!!
You're welcome! Merry Christmas
Well done Emi.
Vangelis
Thank you so much Vangelis!
Great video again, thanks! If you make another failure video, would you mind showing how you set it up?
I think I might rather make a seperate video about it at some point.
That video could be used also to explain how to pick "your failure", which systems you have to fail for it, etc.
For example for the manual reversion video you can not just select "Manual Reversion" from the failures menu. Instead you have to choose: Either you fail all hydraulic pumps (seperately) or you can also let the reservoir run empty. Which is the better choice for your scenario?
Explaining all of this would very well be a video of its own.
@@A330Driver such a detailed video would certainly be fantastic!!! I really hope there are options to set random failures as well, to test my awareness to something unexpected (I'm pretty new to flight simming, so i have no experience with such detailed planes)
heyyy you did an excellent work on this wonderful plane, I was waiting so much for the 737 to arrive at mfs2020 can you predict about the price when it drops? and will it only be 737-700 or also the bigger version of the 737 so 737-800?
I can not predict any pricing, sorry.
The first release will be the -700, thereafter PMDG will release the -600, -800, -900 and MAX (in this order).
@@A330Driver thank you will they come as a kit or will you need to buy them all separately
Is navigating via Airways using VOR's acceptable in Europe? Then take care of problem at destination, since not an emergency (this is how aircraft navigated prior to 1990)
Was this a real software failure of the FMC or a simulated failure set up in the failure settings from pmdg?
A simulated one set up through the failures menu.
Hello, thank you for your very interesting videos. I have a small question concerning the failures: are they random and linked to bad manipulations or with low probabilities, where are they necessarily created by the pilot?
You can program failures to occur either based on the air frames service life, by chance (you can set the percentage yourself) or you can directly trigger certain failures from the FMCs failure menu.
@@A330Driver ok, it's a very good thing for immersion if failures can occur at any time. This aircraft will be awesome!!! Thank you for your answer.
Ich hoffe der Flieger kommt bald :( die ständige updaterei von Asobo geht so auf die nerven
Lang kann es nicht mehr dauern auch wenn ich keine genauen Daten habe.
@@A330Driver Ich hoffe es aber der Flieger sieht echt gut aus ;) das warten wird sich lohnen
@@marvinhofmann4965 Davon bin ich überzeugt!
I don't have time to watch the whole video, how does he have LOC capture and G/S if no FMC? Where did he config the ILS frequency?
There are two NAV radios on the pedestal, this is where you tune the ILS frequency.
@@removebeforeflight7365 makes sense, thank you so much! noob here 😀
All aircraft I know of (even the Airbus) have navradios where you can tune the frequencies outside of the FMC. As source of the data simply use the approach chart, it's all on there. We do that even when the FMC is still working.
The LOC and GS modes of the Autopilot work independant of the FMC. Both Localiser and Glideslope are ground based radio signals. The aircraft does not need an FMC to process those.
Basically, when both FMCs fail you only loose LNAV and VNAV modes. The rest of the Autopilot functions is not based on FMC data and therefore still available for use.
@@A330Driver That's why they are part of the MEL(Minimum Equipment List)
