Hi Drawyah, thanks for the awesome tutorial. There are some things that I learned flying the 787, and your feedback on some of this is appreciated: 1. I find setting the IFR flight plan from the world map is easier to find the active runway for both departure and arrival. So I usually set my arrival pattern and the ILS approach depending on the active runway. Once it's loaded in, the FMC should have all the necessary waypoints to do the approach. But I do understand that in the real world, the ATC would only give you the approach pattern when you're starting the descent and not during departure. So your tutorial to enter them to the FMC is something new that I learned from you. Thanks. 2. I find the VNAV to be inaccurate, and my descent altitude is largely depending on the ATC. Whichever altitude they assign me, that's where I set my altitude hold and V/S mode. 3. When you're about to line up for the localiser, you can push the APP button practically anytime as you begin your approach. So even if you're currently still on LNAV with V/S or ALT mode, LOC and G/S mode will be armed as white text below each of those roll and pitch modes in the PFD. So you don't need to wait until the localiser and glide slope to line up to push the LOC or APP. Pushing the APP button once will arm those modes on stand-by and will automatically activate both LOC and G/S mode whever the aircraft intercepts the localiser and the glideslope. 4. My final approach speed is usually within those zones with the yellow/brown line right above the stall zone. It automatically adjust the airspeed zone depending on the weather and your current payload. So I keep them on those zones, and I'll be in for a smooth landing. 5. Am I the only one who uses the HUD at all times? I find using the HUD is easier on landing because I can zoom in a little to keep and eye on the runway, while having the PFD being mirrored on the HUD so I can look at both the runway and keeping my airspeed in the right zone as I land. 6. When cleared to land, the aircraft will have Rollout mode and Flare mode armed under the LOC and G/S respectively, so I tend to keep my A/P on and let the aircraft flare itself on touchdown. The only thing I turn off is the A/T to keep my airspeed within the yellow/brown zone.
@@nickmajurovski2516 It auto-flares but not consistently.. depending on the airport and the weather conditions. So don't rely on that too much. Especially since the latest patch. Instead do an assisted flare, where you're still on autopilot landing, but you move the stick just a little to assist the aircraft to flare, but not too much that it disengages the AP.
I’ve been trying to land a 787 using autopilot for three days now. I got it all figured out on my own except I couldn’t figure out how to catch the glide slope. Time after time I would be perfectly lined up with localizer A/P taking me right down the runway, only to fly right over it at a constant altitude. I could still land by disengaging A/P but then had a hairy touch and go because I realized I wasn’t slowing down despite max braking. Based on your video it looks like my mistakes were not switching from LOC to APPR and not disengaging autothrottle. I can’t wait to try out what I’ve learned here and see if it works. Thank you!
@@Drawyah Alas, it turns out I _was_ hitting APPR at the appropriate time, however what's happening is the APPR Autopilot is spontaneously switching back to LOC at some point after getting on the glide slope. After this point, any time I hit APPR, it switches itself back to LOC. I would assume this means the approach given to me by ATC has not been fully ingested, rather than due to inappropriate orientation, because my ILS markers on my HUD are all looking perfect. When I get the approach from ATC I click on the corresponding one in the FMC's "DEP APP" menu and then hit the Exec button, which is now glowing green. I don't know if there there any other steps. I assume ILS radios are correctly set after hitting the Exec button.
Watched the video yesterday, made my first flight and landing in an airliner today (LGAV-LIRF). Not a huge flight but for a big newbie like me it was awesome. Downloaded MFS 4 days ago and no prior experience with any sim, but I have read A LOT about airplanes in my life. Thank you thank you thank you!
Multiple issues with 787 and practically impossible to land this without certain adjustments, lets hope they come up with some fixes. But well done thx for the tutorial!
Agreed. It really wants to float in the game and you almost have to push it down. Sensitivity of throttle and pitch on approach is super high too. Despite great graphics, I find it really hard to get a sense of speed and height on approach to feel what is happening. Below 100ft or so, it seems like everything looks and feels the same. With Xplane by contrast I feel I have surgical precision in what I'm doing below 100 feet.
Iiari if you get a chance look up ground effect and do some research on it. When you are close to the ground the wings actually cause a change in lift that is more than what you get when you are flying at higher up. This is actually modeled and you get the floating effect if you are not approaching correctly at the right speed. Part of it is change in lift as well as decrease in parasitic drag. The inverse happens on take off and if you are not careful you can actually lift off at incorrect speeds due to ground effect.
Hi Drawyah, I watched a couple of your landings. Let me tell you, you are approaching too fast. Even though I don’t know the 787 app speed, next time try to approach at 145. You will notice a huge difference in the aircraft profile. Your airplane nose won’t be in the horizon but a few degrees up and landings will be smoother. Approaching at 170kts is too fast. Hope you try it!
Drawyah Drawyah app speed depends mainly on aircraft weight. It should also be corrected by wind and runway condition. As you usually fly in wind calm condition and dry runway, 145 Kts should be a good speed. I also saw you land an A320 at almost 145, which is fast. Try to land the A320 in between 130/135 kts. Otherwise you will float down the runway. Just given some advice. Hope you try it and let me know!
@@jigonesa El sabe volarlo amigo, no vengas a corregirlo pq incluso lo que decis esta mal. La VREF depende de variables como peso o viento asi que con lo que decis vos, dependiendo el escenario el avion puede entrar en perdida. Si te fijas, tiene viento en cola asi que a los +2/3 nudos que se suman siempre a la VREF tenes que sumarle el doble de tailwind que tengas. Asi que como ves no podes definir a la VREF entre dos velocidades. El sabe volar, no hace falta q lo corrijas para hacerte el capo. saludos
Ok bro. I approach at 153. ILS’ VS is -800 so I would take control at 200 ft and try to pull the stick back so I get -500 or less. But every time just before I touchdown the plane pitches up itself even more and would just glide above the runway. I have to counter this by pushing the stick forward quite a lot. Anyway to fix this?if I don’t do anything and leave it at -800 it would still pitch up.
Basically the autopilot is broken, while it can follow a course the Autothrottle, VNAV, LOC and GS capabilities all seem to be broken and you need to manage the ascent, decent and approach via setting flight angle and manually managing the throttle or use the IAS to do so. Is everyone seeing this
Hi Drawyah. Thank you for the video. Although, I didn't understand a word you said; but I managed to land the B787 successfully by following you points & clicks. Much appreciated :)
Thanks a lot for the tutorial! It will come in useful when the 787 is maybe more optimized and so is the sim. In the 787, I get 5-10 fps even though my CPU is better than the one on the "recommended spces" and I have the same GPU as on the recommended specs.
I noticed that as well with the 787 and the flight dynamics are all messed up. Rolling down the runway the nose bounces up and down and lifts off at 80 kts.
@@kalidilerious I was lifting the nose of the A320 off the ground down to 60 knots. I think that stuff is getting fixed in the patch due out this week. Winds are getting fixed too!
why more? One GA and one Airliner are enough. I have been studying control systems, including emergency situations, for about a year (from official Boeing documentation) ... I would not like to learn all aircrafts :D
Hey ! Thx a lot for this tutorial, I just have two questions why dont you set your autobrakes for landing and why dont you put the HUD for landing ? Thx again 👌
When i turned off autopilot, the aircraft immediately banked right and ascended. I had to quickly make major manual adjustments to try and hand fly it. The point at which i disengaged was a lot closer to the runway when i was at about 300 ft. Do I need to check trim settings or something?
Hi @Drawyah, thank you for the tutorial. I followed the procedure as you did by turning on the "LOC" switch when the pink diamond laterally aligns with the runway, and by arming the approach mode when I see the diamond above the middle (vertically). When the vertical diamond hits the middle, it goes back to the LOC mode and the plane does not descend. I noticed that this happened in your video from London to Dubai. I had my LNAV off, HDG off, and my autopilot on.
This is my problem too! I do everything just as the OP does in this video, but at a different airport (KLAX). Everything seems perfect, on the glide slope, but suddenly and spontaneously APPR switches back to LOC and I fly straight & level right over the runway. I’m certain I’ve hit the Exec button after loading the approach into the FMC given to me by ATC. Still stumped.
where do you get the information which tells you which STAR to use? For some reason the plane keep turning around as soon as i select it and goes to the last waypoint 😣😩
I find it never lines up with the runway and lands left/right of the runway. I set up all the ILS info ok and clicked on APR. It was much easier in FSX.
514/5000 Hi Drawyah, Thanks for your tutorials, always a help and advice are welcome! Please keep helping us in this beautiful art of flying. I was wondering if it is possible that you will publish the first part of this video, where we could see the preparation, take off, climb and cruise which is where this video that we are flying now begins. It would be fantastic to be able to get the whole picture of this tutorial. Thank you in advance for your work and teachings. Have a good day and a good flight Oswaldo
I have an issue by pulling up the nose at the end (before landing). I am also stopping the automatic approach and the autopilot 1k feet above ground, but it is like the elevator of the aircraft is only repsonding minimally. I have also paused the game and checked again the hole autopilot system, it was full off. Also the pitching was at 1.4, which is not unnormal. After the hard landing, everything was again normal and the elevator responded perfectly (so I am sure the problem is not my joystick). I also landed again with more speed, it was the same. Does anybody have a solution?
How do you know when you should start defending? I manage to calculate TOD but I have no idea how to find out how far away you are in NM from the airport, anyone know how you can find this out?
To take evasive maneuvers and defend, best keep an ear open for your alarm to sound when heatseekers have locked on. Use flares too to confuse the armaments sensors and increase its likelihood of a miss. As for airport distance, all shown on your ND and FMS.
I think there's some real issues with this plane. The auto throttle does not seem to kick in during approach phase when I pressed the APP button which it did before the patch. I thought it was just me but I flew the plane three times since the patch, it won't adjust the throttle to match the speed I set. I had to manually adjust the throttle myself during approach. However it works during cruising and descending. Oh, the approach button does capture the ILS and guides the plane down with auto throttle control pre-patch. Post patch manual throttle control needed.
I did an approach with autothrottle and it worked fine. The APPR button only tells the flight director to fly the localizer and look for the glide slope. The autopilot follows the flight director. To get autothrottle you have to select the L and R autothrottle switches and set the IAS speed. I believe there is an Autothrottle button or switch below the LR autthrottle arm switch. You'll hit 3 switches to make it work. A/T Arm switches (two white toggles), A/T pushbutton (down and to the left of the speed adjust knob), and dial your speed you want to hold. Hope that helps.
There is a fix for the 787 to improve its FPS. forums.flightsimulator.com/t/small-js-config-file-mod-to-gain-10-15-fps-in-airliners-and-glass-cockpit-planes/221308
Hi Drawjah, Great videos, I was wondering if you cancel flight following or have you edited it out as I found you can not fly the planed altitudes as the ATC gives you completely different FLs.
No. VNAV is for flying programmed altitudes that are set in the FMS. If doing an approach with multiple step downs, you could set the glide slope intercept altitude, press VNAV and the FMS/FMC will fly to those altitudes and cross every fix at the given altitude. It is like magic and works wonderfully in real life, but not at all in FS2020. APPR does the altitude control on an ILS approach. LOC mode will fly just the localizer. APPR will fly the LOC until the GS captures then it will follow the GS down to decision height (actually until it smashes into the runway). I hope that helps.
nice video. But i have a problem whit LNAV, the plane follow the fly plan, but the plane does not stabilize on the route and turns from one side to the other, and never stays in a straight position. Plis help
What percent is your flaps and trim?? Do you know of anywhere to learn more about all the controls?? It won’t let me press several of my buttons on that front dash for some reason. Great video
Where in the display does it tell you if the APU is on? Seems like after I land I can’t get the APU to come on and I can’t hear if it is on because of the noise of the main engines
i wonder, why is my interface on the display screens totally different? e.g. when i click DEP ARR, like on 2:30, all i got is ACT FLPN written right under the DEP/ARR INDEX, the rest is black and i cant click anything
Hi.... I followed the exact method you have done, but when trying to set up for approach etc you go to simbrief and see Divam on there which I don't see.... Can you explain where I see the stars to put in the computer
You're the only one that has complained about understanding so far, sounds like an issue on your part, not me. 🙂 Autopilot function and flightplan were covered in the first part of this tutorial where I covered aircraft start-up and departure.
Hi Drawyah, i'm having issues with the "legs" function. When i choose a rw at approach, normally with the 747 you could go to the legs page and choose the waypoint you want to fly to. The 787 does that too, only when you reach the waypoint, the whole route resets. Is that a bug? And is there a way to solve that, for example to plot a new course to the rw you want? Regards, jan.
The flight plan resetting is not an issue I've yet come across. Try deleting the aircraft in the Content Manager and redownloading it, see if that resets the issue.
@@Drawyah with resetting, i mean the airplane will turn around and wants to fly back to the first waypoint in the flightplan. But i'll try reinstalling the airplane.
There's a button above the monitor, WXR is for weather mode, then TERR for the terrain mode. Just push on the TERR and you should be able to change it.
It's double what it should be. I can be 100nm from the next waypoint as indicated in the upper-right of the ND, but according to the range it shows 200nm.

Localiser only guides you into the runway. Approach is what flies you down the glideslope. Localiser will not affect your altitude.

Are you at the appropriate altitude to intercept the glide slope? You have to pass through the vertical diamond on the glide slope for it to activate.

787 physics when the sim released were a little off. If I re-recorded this now the landing should be far more regular.

Out of all the aircraft the 787 for me is prolly my worst for landing. Eventually I'll get the hang of it.
Drawyah Drawyah app speed depends mainly on aircraft weight. It should also be corrected by wind and runway condition. As you usually fly in wind calm condition and dry runway, 145 Kts should be a good speed. I also saw you land an A320 at almost 145, which is fast. Try to land the A320 in between 130/135 kts. Otherwise you will float down the runway.

Thank you for this, great tutorial. Much appreciated.
I'm glad that you found it helpful!
So if you want to know the approach alt (the attitude which catches the glideslope) you would need to look at the last legs page waypoint alt?
Correct to an extent, it will get you to an intercept point. Charts will tell you a definite altitude.
@@Drawyah wdym so the alt isn’t correct/accurate? Will it catch the glideslope?
It will 100% catch the glideslope. It's not inaccurate, just charts are more precise.
@@Drawyah so what are charts good for? When you mean precise
Charts are used for navigational aid, showing you on a map your required routing and altitude constraints.
i love the dream liner
Why are you don't take the noise up when you land?The Landing was very hard
If you look at the vertical speed indicator you would see it wasn’t a hard landing at all. It was fast, though.
Yea it was a very smooth landing straight onto the nose gear but yea he had no flare at all he landed with like a -1 pitch angle
Good video, thanks!
Excellent video. Thank you sir.
Glad you found it helpful!
Hey there, drawyah here. :)
Thankyou for the tutorial and showing my house!
1:23, The Bug is fixed now.
How do you know the barometic pressure, like where do you look?
Look for METAR data for example off AllMetSat.
@@Drawyah Thanks so much!!
When i turned off autopilot, the aircraft immediately banked right and ascended. I had to quickly make major manual adjustments to try and hand fly it. The point at which i disengaged was a lot closer to the runway when i was at about 300 ft. Do I need to check trim settings or something?
So long Autopilot was active during the descent, trim should be correct. Most likely you were flying into a heavy crosswind.
This video is quite old so I don't expect an answer, but how do I make the REF show up when I spawn in on approach? great video btw
Ensure that the ILS frequency is set and your approach is configured. Spawning on approach doesn't do this automatically.
As soon as my gear touches down I just hit ctrl shift e
You shut down the engines on landing? 😅

I followed the procedure as you did by turning on the "LOC" switch when the pink diamond laterally aligns with the runway, and by arming the approach mode when I see the diamond above the middle (vertically).

Very odd. Check out my two 787 videos to Dubai, see if I did anything different in that descent which you may find helpful!

Everything seems perfect, on the glide slope, but suddenly and spontaneously APPR switches back to LOC and I fly straight & level right over the runway.

Brilliant, thanks!

Thanks for your tutorials, always a help and advice are welcome! Please keep helping us in this beautiful art of flying.
I was wondering if it is possible that you will publish the first part of this video, where we could see the preparation, take off, climb and cruise which is where this video that we are flying now begins. It would be fantastic to be able to get the whole picture of this tutorial. Thank you in advance for your work and teachings. Have a good day and a good flight

I have an issue by pulling up the nose at the end (before landing). I am also stopping the automatic approach and the autopilot 1k feet above ground, but it is like the elevator of the aircraft is only repsonding minimally. I have also paused the game and checked again the hole autopilot system, it was full off. Also the pitching was at 1.4, which is not unnormal. After the hard landing, everything was again normal and the elevator responded perfectly (so I am sure the problem is not my joystick). I also landed again with more speed, it was the same. Does anybody have a solution?
Same problem. When I'm approaching the runway, the plane won't pitch the nose at all. Tested it with A320 and 747-8 and it works just fine.
Can you make a video with bombardier
I have done a series of tutorials for the CRJ on MSFS.
@@Drawyah link plz
How do you know when you should start defending? I manage to calculate TOD but I have no idea how to find out how far away you are in NM from the airport, anyone know how you can find this out?
To take evasive maneuvers and defend, best keep an ear open for your alarm to sound when heatseekers have locked on. Use flares too to confuse the armaments sensors and increase its likelihood of a miss. As for airport distance, all shown on your ND and FMS.
@@Drawyah haha, thank you 🤣
Dear Drawyah what's wrong and I can not have the right screen on the 787 to show me the whole instrument panel and not split in half?
3:14 - You can see me switch the displays here using the console buttons.

I think there's some real issues with this plane. The auto throttle does not seem to kick in during approach phase when I pressed the APP button which it did before the patch. I thought it was just me but I flew the plane three times since the patch, it won't adjust the throttle to match the speed I set. I had to manually adjust the throttle myself during approach. However it works during cruising and descending. Oh, the approach button does capture the ILS and guides the plane down with auto throttle control pre-patch. Post patch manual throttle control needed.
In the 787 you're supposed to manually control throttle on approach and touchdown.
I did an approach with autothrottle and it worked fine. The APPR button only tells the flight director to fly the localizer and look for the glide slope. The autopilot follows the flight director. To get autothrottle you have to select the L and R autothrottle switches and set the IAS speed. I believe there is an Autothrottle button or switch below the LR autthrottle arm switch. You'll hit 3 switches to make it work. A/T Arm switches (two white toggles), A/T pushbutton (down and to the left of the speed adjust knob), and dial your speed you want to hold. Hope that helps.
Can you show me how to fly direct to a waypoint if you instructed to do so by a controller....
im guessing this means the 787 is better optimised now ? and actually flyable
There is a fix for the 787 to improve its FPS.

Drawyah thank You I’ll check it out now
Did they fix the ranges on the nd?
Yes, the ND range has now been fixed.
Brilliant, just what I needed. Thank you.
Pretty awesome, thanks for this !
I just bought msfs and i changed from xp11 to msfs and it kinda feel weird to fly the 787 and 747
The flight dynamics across both platforms are very different, it will take some adjustment to bridge the two simulators and how they feel.
can you make ILS approache without STAR, just with ILS frequency. I tried to do it and looks like its not possible.
You can! So long you intercept the glideslope and localiser, you can essentially just fly straight in without the need for a STAR.
@@Drawyah how to do IT?
is the nd range fixed now?
Yes I believe it has been.
3:35 I can't catch what he says here about the DIVAM star?
It cuts off the fifth letter of your final waypoint. DIVAM becomes DIVA.
Hi Drawjah,
Great videos, I was wondering if you cancel flight following or have you edited it out as I found you can not fly the planed altitudes as the ATC gives you completely different FLs.
I disabled default ATC long ago. I fly on IVAO which is far more realistic.
VNAV is for automatic altitude change during ILS approach?
No. VNAV is for flying programmed altitudes that are set in the FMS. If doing an approach with multiple step downs, you could set the glide slope intercept altitude, press VNAV and the FMS/FMC will fly to those altitudes and cross every fix at the given altitude. It is like magic and works wonderfully in real life, but not at all in FS2020. APPR does the altitude control on an ILS approach. LOC mode will fly just the localizer. APPR will fly the LOC until the GS captures then it will follow the GS down to decision height (actually until it smashes into the runway). I hope that helps.
nice video. But i have a problem whit LNAV, the plane follow the fly plan, but the plane does not stabilize on the route and turns from one side to the other, and never stays in a straight position. Plis help
What percent is your flaps and trim?? Do you know of anywhere to learn more about all the controls??
It won’t let me press several of my buttons on that front dash for some reason.
Great video
Where in the display does it tell you if the APU is on? Seems like after I land I can’t get the APU to come on and I can’t hear if it is on because of the noise of the main engines
The above panel has the apu switch
Do you know how to edit a waypoint in the route? If I want to skip one and go direct to the next one?
Hi Drawyah, how can i fly without Headings, like straight the autopilot? I cant deactivate the Headings
I dont understand doesn’t vnav make the airplane descend for itself?
Not yet, MSFS does not have that simulated.
Thanks for this drawyah
i wonder, why is my interface on the display screens totally different? e.g. when i click DEP ARR, like on 2:30, all i got is ACT FLPN written right under the DEP/ARR INDEX, the rest is black and i cant click anything
Check you've selected the right option. Sounds like you're clicking FPLAN to show the Active Flightplan screen.
Hi.... I followed the exact method you have done, but when trying to set up for approach etc you go to simbrief and see Divam on there which I don't see.... Can you explain where I see the stars to put in the computer
How do you find your ETA to your destination in the 787?
In addition you did not show the setup of auto pilot buttons to be used
You're the only one that has complained about understanding so far, sounds like an issue on your part, not me. 🙂
Autopilot function and flightplan were covered in the first part of this tutorial where I covered aircraft start-up and departure.
Great video, thank you. But where do you get the STAR information from? Will that be provided by ATC?
STAR is provided by ATC or found with simBrief.
You can also get real STARs, DPs, and approaches on fltplan.com then go to digital charts. That's what I use for FS2020.
Great tutorial, very well explained. Thnx.
hi, are you able to performa DCT? I mean a direct to one point of FP or gave from ATC out of FP?
My exec button doesn't work :( It stays green and my path remains unchanged.
That looked like a nose gear touchdown which was not good but the approach was brilliant thank you
so i can disable the visor?
Disable it in what way?
@@Drawyah ummm I mean close the visor?
Is this a mod version?
My Inav's not working. I swing back and forth all the time. Does anyone else have these problems ?
Best tutorial
Hi Drawyah, i'm having issues with the "legs" function. When i choose a rw at approach, normally with the 747 you could go to the legs page and choose the waypoint you want to fly to. The 787 does that too, only when you reach the waypoint, the whole route resets. Is that a bug? And is there a way to solve that, for example to plot a new course to the rw you want? Regards, jan.
The flight plan resetting is not an issue I've yet come across. Try deleting the aircraft in the Content Manager and redownloading it, see if that resets the issue.
@@Drawyah with resetting, i mean the airplane will turn around and wants to fly back to the first waypoint in the flightplan. But i'll try reinstalling the airplane.
How do you add the simulation speed rate to the screen?
With post-production editing.
How do you have the flight monitor show the terrain? it looks like it is "scanning". no matter what i do in my 787 i cant turn it on
There's a button above the monitor, WXR is for weather mode, then TERR for the terrain mode. Just push on the TERR and you should be able to change it.
hai,can i see your setting graphics Microsoft flight Simulator 2020?
My apology, if this was already explained, but where are you getting info regarding METAR data please? Thanks a lot!
I use AllMetSat for my METAR information.
www.allmetsat.com/
I believe the range indication is in fact correct. At least it's exactly the same in the Magknight 787.
It's double what it should be. I can be 100nm from the next waypoint as indicated in the upper-right of the ND, but according to the range it shows 200nm.
hi how did you get a boeing 787?
It comes with the Premium Deluxe version of Microsoft Flight Simulator.
@@Drawyah oh ok thx
How to do you get it to fly level on autopilot? I followed your tutorial exactly and my 787 banks left and right by 10 degrees all the time.
You can use LNAV and VNAV in the 787, I've never had a major issue with it.
anybody know why the speed intervention button is unavailable to me during my flight?
i can't maintain approach speed with flaps 25-30 after one of the patches
I have this problem with the AP where it cant follow the flight path with lnav engaged, do you happen to know of any solution?
When I turn the autopilot off, I still can’t control the throttle and I can’t cut it off which results very hard landings.
Autopilot and autothrottle are two separate systems. Make sure you turn the right one off.
@@Drawyah Because, when you land the light on the A/T is on so does that mean the autothrottle is on or am I making a mistake somewhere?
If the light is on, it means Autothrottle is active. Turn it off.
