Love your tutorials. There's so much to learn, I feel a little bit crazy doing it all for the sake of entertainment, but now I can't stop. I started playing the flight sims because I wanted to know why planes did this or that, so having someone with real world experience who knows all the ins and outs, and why, is great. And you explain things in such a clear and succinct way that is easy to follow.
Recently discovered your channel and was happy to get the notification that you uploaded another Zibo vid. Your instruction is easy to follow and the bits of humor are great, thank you for your efforts!
Incredibly informative and accurate. Thank you so so much for making these amazing videos. Your videos are always so full of knowledge and easy to understand. You're not only a great pilot, but a great teacher. Thanks again! Looking forward to more of your wonderful videos.
Thanks a lot! Instructing in a YT tutorial is very different to tuition in the Sim and operating a multi-crew aircraft but I try to make it as realistic as possible 👍🏼 FD2S
Another great tutorial to add to my flightdeck2sim collection. I can't help but be amazed at how close Zibo's freeware mod has come to the PMDG payware. It's got to the point where I really have to look hard at your videos to identify which one you are using. I think the give away on this occasion was the lack of curved lines in the ND. As you mentioned it is apparently a programming nightmare for Zibo but the guy seems to be able to pull rabbits out of a hat. Your input as a RL pilot together with Twkster is so welcome for us simmers.
Thanks again Richard. I really enjoy flying the MOD, the handling is so close to the real thing and the fact it's available free of charge is incredible. Most of the systems work correctly! The way the MOD has progressed the last few months is phenomenal, all thanks to ZIBO, Twkster and the other people behind the scenes. I'm in communication with both ZIBO and Tim and when I can I provide direct comparisons to the real aircraft, I wouldn't even know where to start if someone asked me how to program something. I will still use the NGX in tutorials but expect far more ZIBO MOD 737 in the future! FD2S
Another really nicely done and informative video! Hats off to you for emphasizing the need for monitoring ground based navaids through out departures, arrivals and approaches, even when doing LNAV overlays. As you point out, though technically not required now that GPS is a class one navaid, it is very good practice and keeps the pilot "plugged in". In some parts of the world where WGS-84 is rather spotty, this is still technically required for all routes based on ground navaids. Though all your videos are very professionally made, I can see even more "polish" in this latest video. Love your work! Cheers
Thanks again Tim. Yes we require all NAVAIDS to be tuned and identified for SID's and NPA's even if not being directly used. Thankfully only bomb around Europe and GPS coverage is very rarely an issue! Still require RAIM checks before RNAV Approaches to check for outages. Yes delivery has to be a little different in a tutorial on YT compared two guys in a Level D! Through trial and error I've found a nice pace which caters for "most" users!! Video editing has improved as well! Take care! FD2S
Another great tutorial from FD2S. Always feel like I need a lay down and a couple of paracetamol after one of his videos. So much information. Great job and thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Excellent video. Many thanks ! Quick question @2.27 in the video there is a pop-up window which displays information such as COND /Wind/OAT V references and so on - what is the name of this add-on please?
Hi Liam, It’s a performance app from my EFB which we use in the real aircraft, I believe it isn’t available for general use. I’ve been advised there’s software called TOPCAT which provides comparable data for sim enthusiasts 👍🏼 FD2S
Once again thank you very much for your fantastic tutorials!! By far the best you can find in the internet. Your work here is really useful in order to successfully complete the 737 TR. And i have to say that it was a pleasure to meet you in person this week during the LOPS course :) Always learning new things with your fantastic videos! Have high and good flights!!! Your friend, Mario.
Hi Marius, nice meeting you and thanks! Glad they helped! Just remember, despite the fact I'm showing you exactly as it's taught remember it's for entertainment purposes only and not to be used in the real aircraft! Consult the approved material, you can use my tutorials to supplement your knowledge. FD2S
great tutorial. flying the zibo for quite a while now and tought I'm pretty good at it, but now I feel like a complete noob again, which is a good thing
Hi Platinum Power, It's the Boeing OPT App off of my work EFB which isn’t available for general use. I’ve been advised there’s software called TOPCAT which provides comparable data for sim enthusiasts 👍🏼 FD2S
Excellence! So, there could be three navigation systems in use at the same time. The LNAV via FMS, VOR, and ADF. Do the majority of airline SOPs recommend the use of an additional two nav back ups for the FMC for every flight? I’m thinking I should add these backups into my checklist. Take care Captain and Thank You!! 👍
Great vids Capt. I was only able to make it to a single engine VFR rating before open heart surgery ended my medical, so it's been flight simmin for me the last dozen years, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge
FD2S, thanks for your informative videos and hope you're enjoying spending a little more time on the dark side of the Sim community, really enjoy your XP11 videos. It's great to have a real world captain making tutorials for us and I personally enjoy them!
Exceellent explanation of how sids are built and of course excellent execution. I also fly the zibo mod and have a navigraph subscription. I download the Zibo mod only every two weeks since there are too many updates in an any given week.
Brilliant! I do suggest you getting the "RG MOD", to largely enhance the Zibo cockpit textures (It's free, or you can donate if you want the new engines etc.). Just a question; is the "dead band" when the aircraft feels like it doesn't want to fly for about 1-2 seconds? Thank you :)
Thanks for the info, just sticking with the ZIBO MOD, one less thing to update! Yes that is the Dead Band, it occurs at approximately 10 degrees and requires an increase in back pressure to maintain a constant rotation rate. You can definitely "feel it" in XP 11 which seems to simulate airflow very realistically and it feels much more natural. FD2S
Fair enough; too many downloads for one aircarft at the moment haha! And yes, I thought |I could feel that need to pull a touch more once the front gear is off the ground. Cheers \o/
Hi Efrain, I'm fortunate enough to access a performance app from my EFB which we use in the real aircraft, I believe it isn’t available for general use. I’ve been advised there’s software called TOPCAT which provides comparable data for sim enthusiasts 👍🏼 FD2S
Hey FD2S thanks for the absolutely awesome tutorial as usual. I have a request: could you also do a tutorial on radial interception after takeoff? Because at my home airport there are no sids but the aircraft are given instructions to intercept a particular radial from a VOR after takeoff. If you could also show us the inverse i.e inbound radial interception during approach that’ll be great. It also gives a chance to talk about the Navigraph “search” page since that’s where you can see all the radials and airways in a world map view.
Piotr Kuler Hi, it’s VOCB (Coimbatore Intl Airport) in India. There used to be a few SIDS but they’re temporarily not used because of route restructuring. So they use radials from the airport VOR for takeoff.
Flightdeck2sim Can you explain the takeoff config check please? The last couple of times flying the PMDG the horn has sounded, even though I've followed the flows document from cold and dark. I hear you say "packs auto" at the line, I'm usually set to off. I do suffer a bug with my installation, in that the right bleed drops pressure and engine start becomes impossible, I need to keep this in auto to maintain pressure. I wonder if this might be the problem?
Hi gkkes CONFIG Warning horn sounds if flaps, speedbrake, parking brake and stab trim is not in the correct position for take off. Packs OFF for engine start and AUTO for take off in normal operations. FD2S
Thanks, as always! These videos are great. I was actually just reading up on SIDs the other day, so it's nice to have a very good tutorial to put it to video, since my brain doesn't do well with just text. Have you checked out the 737 Ultimate project yet? Not sure if the 737-900 interests you, but the 700 and 800 are apparently coming in the future with Zibo's help.
Zibo's a safe bet! The 737 Ultimate is still in the beta stages, but it's pretty promising. It looks like Zibo is porting over a lot of his FMC and flight model work to their project, which is especially appealing. They're adding cool features in the future like the HUD and in-cockpit tablet for charts and checklists. Here's the link if you ever want to check it out: discordapp.com/channels/422915978683482123/422915978683482125 And thanks again for the great resource! It's awesome getting advice from a real pilot.
Hi there thankyou for all your videos and help, i have a request or even question, i would like to understand what the procedure is when taking off from an airport WITHOUT SIDS, is the plane flown manually to intercept the nearest waypoint? or is Autopilot used to do the same thing, would love to see a video on this but cannot locate one
Hi Michael, if there is no SID you are typically cleared on an omni directional departure. You essentially maintain runway hdg until you reach a certain altitude and then simply route to the first WPT. Cheers! FD2S
Hi Mehmet Please check out my first ZIBO Tutorial review and see the pinned comment for my comparison of P3D/XP11 and the PMDG/NGX! th-cam.com/video/ZiGAipxKIUU/w-d-xo.html Having used XP11 a little more now I'm beginning to prefer the sim. FD2S
Saitek Pro Flight pedals, obviously you will never match the fidelity from the real sim/aircraft but it’s good enough and does the job nicely. Would recommend 👌🏻 FD2S
Hi Malik, Please check out my first ZIBO Tutorial review and see the pinned comment for my comparison of P3D/XP11 and the PMDG/NGX! th-cam.com/video/ZiGAipxKIUU/w-d-xo.html Having used XP11 a little more now I'm beginning to prefer the sim. FD2S
Hello. Great videos. I was really pulling my hair out getting started but you have helped immensely. Would you have used Vnav straight from take off if you didn’t need to adopt NADP1?
Hi Chris, thanks! You might find this useful. th-cam.com/video/EnpK42MlolQ/w-d-xo.html You only need to engage VNAV after flaps up no lights, you can arm VNAV on the ground and just retract the flaps as per NADP. FD2S
Your videos are amazing! Thank you!! Why some constraints are magenta on CDU? Where did I get this performance app?Sometimes I think the Zibo trim and Vref settings are odd, as it takes about 85% of the runway to takeoff even above 65T TOW. Ive never experienced this on a real 737 takingoff from the same airports in real life.
Hi ARI Active constraints are magenta, performance app is unavailable for general use (it's from my work electronic flight bag). Might seem obvious but short fields typically use most of the runway to get airborne. Performance calculations ensure in the event of an engine failure you clear the end of the runway by at least 35ft by the end of your take off distance. FD2S
Hello! I am a big fan of your vids, and your tutorials have helped me immensely. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication! Just a quick question: In what circumstances, apart from a FMC failure, do we use HDG SEL instead of LNAV during a SID? Cheers!
Hi The Roaming Tofu, Sometimes HDG SEL has to be used if there is a emergency turn procedure. LNAV also will not engage if the first track is more than 5 degrees off of the RWY HDG. FD2S
Excellent video! I'm just getting back into flight sim after finishing my PPL and preparing to start my ATPL exams in the next few months, and your videos have proved both intersting and entertaining, keep up the good work! Quick question - what is the "dead band" you refer to just after rotation? I've never heard of it before.
Hi Tom, good luck with your training! The Dead Band is caused by airflow being disturbed over the horizontal stabiliser as you rotate and ground effect, it occurs at approximately 10 degrees and requires an increase in back pressure to maintain a constant rotation rate. FD2S
I know pmdg is not modelled to stay on magenta line etc when doing procedural approaches i wonder if this zibo mod can also can it do RF-LEGS? cause I know pmdg also cant do because the navigation system is very old
I think it’s better, ZIBO’s mod handles holds exceptionally well. From what I understand drawing the curved line is challenging from a programming point of view, although not drawn on the ND the aircraft is turning correctly. It’s improving all the time! FD2S
Fslabs does it perfectly, ofcourse they dont do the boeing but still if they can do it, I think PMDG should be able to do it. Pmdg also dont draw the holds properly like the way you enter them for example tear drop entry and parallel or direct, does the real one draw it? I suppose it does.

Excellent video as always with great content all described in a very nice way! ...and it looks someone is becoming more and more of a celebrity being mentioned in the latest Navigraph newsletter 😉
Haha! The mention was highly appreciated, the simlink feature is awesome, would like it in the real aircraft! FD2S
6 ปีที่แล้ว
Couldn't agree more, it's truly great as is Navigraph as a company IMO. Been with them as a supporter and customer since they started many, many years ago.
Hey flightdeck2sim, Thank you for your amazing tutorials!! I always enjoy them :) I really want to know, what do you think "feels" more realistic when it comes to landing, especially flaring; the Pmdg in FSX or the Zibo in XPlane?
Hi Kordi, Please check out my first ZIBO Tutorial review and see the pinned comment for my comparison of P3D/XP11 and the PMDG/NGX! th-cam.com/video/ZiGAipxKIUU/w-d-xo.html Having used XP11 a little more now I'm beginning to prefer the sim. FD2S
Hi @flightdeck2sim, I have a question for you, how doy the airplane’s systems calculates the given percentage of N1 thrust? I play a Flightsim, but it hasn’t a live cockpit so tell me please the formula:)
Hi JU4N, The fixed N1 derate is generated from the FMC based off the selected derate, assumed temperature and OAT, I think you can find that table online! I have no idea about the formula I'm afraid. FD2S
hey flight deck can you explain the deadband speed? is it v2 + 20? I dont believe all 737 ngs do that where it bugs the speed up automatically like that.
Hi there! The Deadband has nothing to do with speed, it's caused by airflow being disturbed over the horizontal stabiliser as you rotate and ground effect, it occurs at approximately 10 degrees and requires an increase in back pressure to maintain a constant rotation rate. FD2S
Hi 90'sArcadeFighter, Take a look at the pinned comment on my first ZIBO full flight tutorial where I give my initial comparison of both the PMDG/ZIBO and FSX/XP11 th-cam.com/video/ZiGAipxKIUU/w-d-xo.html FD2S
Hi FD2S Another great tuturial as always! The 737-900 Ultimate has been released already (incl. the zibo mod). Stunning work! Check that out if you haven't already and hope to see you in the Ultimate in one of your next tuturials soon ;)
Hi farouk It's been requested A LOT! I will make one using the ZIBO MOD at some point. Although I'm yet to make a dedicated cold and dark tutorial I do have some setups in my full flight tutorial playlist, please refer to Part 1 of my other Full Flight Tutorials for guidance on how to setup using the NGX th-cam.com/play/PL64iIth-XWdtRkPNNGcnJU-b5lqvs1Z_O.html FD2S
Hi Martin, I probably won’t replicate real world incidents, goes without saying the crew did an incredible job 😎 Will look at some Non-Normal Situations soon 👍🏼 FD2S
Thank you for the reply! Just can't imagine the uncommanded rapid roll to a left bank angle of 41 degrees. Do you actually experience the same thing in a full motion sim?
hi fd2s ,great vid mate keep them coming by far the best tutorial vid's out there,safe flying fella and look forward to your next one, regards michael:)
Dead Band is caused by airflow being disturbed over the horizontal stabiliser as you rotate. This means you have to increase back pressure at approximately 10 degrees to rotate continuously FD2S
Great video. But I have a friendly request please keep your voice loud and clear till the end of the sentence. Please accept my critics as intended friendly. Kindest regards, Cor.
Hi Abdel It’s a performance app from my EFB which I believe isn’t available for general use. I’ve been advised there’s software called TOPCAT which provides comparable data for sim enthusiasts 👍🏼 FD2S
flightdeck2sim thanks for your reply, I used to have one for the A320 , but I recently started to fly the 737 and looking for such tools, your videos is very informative and helped me a lot understanding the 737 , thanks
Love your tutorials. There's so much to learn, I feel a little bit crazy doing it all for the sake of entertainment, but now I can't stop.

Thanks a lot Michael! Yes ZIBO’s MOD is brilliant, systems improving but the best handling aircraft I’ve flown in a desktop simulator 👍🏼
FD2S
flightdeck2sim A PMDG level aircraft for XPlane is boeing 767-300 by FLIGHT FACTOR
Hayko
Nope but it’s very good! The A320 is more like pmdg quality!
Incredibly informative and accurate. Thank you so so much for making these amazing videos. Your videos are always so full of knowledge and easy to understand. You're not only a great pilot, but a great teacher. Thanks again! Looking forward to more of your wonderful videos.
Thanks a lot! Instructing in a YT tutorial is very different to tuition in the Sim and operating a multi-crew aircraft but I try to make it as realistic as possible 👍🏼
FD2S
Another great tutorial to add to my flightdeck2sim collection.
I can't help but be amazed at how close Zibo's freeware mod has come to the PMDG payware. It's got to the point where I really have to look hard at your videos to identify which one you are using. I think the give away on this occasion was the lack of curved lines in the ND. As you mentioned it is apparently a programming nightmare for Zibo but the guy seems to be able to pull rabbits out of a hat.
Your input as a RL pilot together with Twkster is so welcome for us simmers.
Thanks again Richard.
I really enjoy flying the MOD, the handling is so close to the real thing and the fact it's available free of charge is incredible. Most of the systems work correctly!
The way the MOD has progressed the last few months is phenomenal, all thanks to ZIBO, Twkster and the other people behind the scenes.

FD2S
Another really nicely done and informative video!
Hats off to you for emphasizing the need for monitoring ground based navaids through out departures, arrivals and approaches, even when doing LNAV overlays. As you point out, though technically not required now that GPS is a class one navaid, it is very good practice and keeps the pilot "plugged in". In some parts of the world where WGS-84 is rather spotty, this is still technically required for all routes based on ground navaids.
Though all your videos are very professionally made, I can see even more "polish" in this latest video.
Love your work!
Cheers
Thanks again Tim.
Yes we require all NAVAIDS to be tuned and identified for SID's and NPA's even if not being directly used.
Thankfully only bomb around Europe and GPS coverage is very rarely an issue! Still require RAIM checks before RNAV Approaches to check for outages.
Yes delivery has to be a little different in a tutorial on YT compared two guys in a Level D! Through trial and error I've found a nice pace which caters for "most" users!! Video editing has improved as well!
Take care!
FD2S
Another great tutorial from FD2S. Always feel like I need a lay down and a couple of paracetamol after one of his videos. So much information. Great job and thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Haha, I do like to pack in as much information as possible!
FD2S
Excellent video. Many thanks ! Quick question @2.27 in the video there is a pop-up window which displays information such as COND /Wind/OAT V references and so on - what is the name of this add-on please?

FD2S
Hi FD2S. Another great tutorial. Nice to see you finally using Navigraph, keep on with the good work.
what was the overlay that you used at 2:27? Thanks, great vid also, very informative!!
Hi Platinum Power,
It's the Boeing OPT App off of my work EFB which isn’t available for general use. I’ve been advised there’s software called TOPCAT which provides comparable data for sim enthusiasts 👍🏼
FD2S
Excellence! So, there could be three navigation systems in use at the same time. The LNAV via FMS, VOR, and ADF. Do the majority of airline SOPs recommend the use of an additional two nav back ups for the FMC for every flight? I’m thinking I should add these backups into my checklist. Take care Captain and Thank You!! 👍
Hi Massimo,
Although not required when using LNAV and the FMS it's worth tuning any navigational aids as backup.
FD2S
Very happy with how easy and fun your tutorials are to follow great job!
Cool! Hope they improve your home sim experience!
FD2S
Why are Runways called 'Left' or Right? i get 27 as in 270 of heading but what is the left or right gotta do with it?
Hi Suhas, when there are two parallel runways they are called L and R respectively so you don’t takeoff/land on the wrong one!
FD2S
Perfect thank you!
Great vid again mate, thanks for bringing this level of instruction to the sim world
You’re most welcome Glenn 👍🏼
FD2S
How have you enabled the turn trajectory line in the ND? It doesn't appear in my sim.
Not sure Kacey, I have the latest version of the MOD and it works just fine.
FD2S
Thanks. I'll see if I require an update.
I've figured it out. You have to install the "Terrain Radar" addon.
Great vids Capt. I was only able to make it to a single engine VFR rating before open heart surgery ended my medical, so it's been flight simmin for me the last dozen years, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge
Hi Tim,
Very sorry to hear that, I'm really glad I can provide some fulfilment to your hobby!
FD2S
Amazing as always, love your vids dude
Thanks Wesley Snipez 😂
FD2S
FD2S, thanks for your informative videos and hope you're enjoying spending a little more time on the dark side of the Sim community, really enjoy your XP11 videos. It's great to have a real world captain making tutorials for us and I personally enjoy them!
Thanks a lot chanman4rings, I’m just a TRI / First Officer but I’ll take Captain 😎
XP11 is considerably better IMO 💪🏼
FD2S

Hi Marc,
When I get some time I'll make a dedicated full setup using the ZIBO MOD!
FD2S
Great video as always!! Im a P3D PMDG user, what tool you recommend for performance calculations, vspeeds, etc.? Thanks.
Hi Efrain,
I'm fortunate enough to access a performance app from my EFB which we use in the real aircraft, I believe it isn’t available for general use. I’ve been advised there’s software called TOPCAT which provides comparable data for sim enthusiasts 👍🏼

Hi Sharang,
We'll look at VOR Navigation at some point.

Hi captain. What’s the difference between a VOR like PRA and the other waypoints like VNV (380) that are chosen on the efus panel?
Flightdeck2sim Can you explain the takeoff config check please? The last couple of times flying the PMDG the horn has sounded, even though I've followed the flows document from cold and dark.

A pleasure to watch as always
Yes!!! I was missing your videos!! Thank you!!
I’ll try and bring tutorials more frequently but it’s dictated by work and personal life!

I’m very thankful! I’ll be promoting their charts in future tutorials and showing exactly how the data is interpreted and applied 👍🏼
FD2S
flightdeck2sim
That’s great news! I need this but I don’t have the money.. Can’t you get us some discounts ;P
To follow up your tutorial in the future, I diverted to X-Plane today from P3D.
But I still play P3D if I want to fly tue 747 and 777. :)
do you like the 737 on Xp11 than pmdg ngx ? Have you noticed any major difference in terms of handling characteristics ? Thank you
Hi Mehmet
Please check out my first ZIBO Tutorial review and see the pinned comment for my comparison of P3D/XP11 and the PMDG/NGX!
th-cam.com/video/ZiGAipxKIUU/w-d-xo.html
Having used XP11 a little more now I'm beginning to prefer the sim.
FD2S
Loving all the videos, really appreciated.
Which rudder pedals are you using and can you reccomend them?
Saitek Pro Flight pedals, obviously you will never match the fidelity from the real sim/aircraft but it’s good enough and does the job nicely. Would recommend 👌🏻
FD2S
HalfmoonSZ MFG Crosswind Rudders are the best ever rudders for flight sim IMHO. LOVE THEM TO BITS 👍 Google them.
Are you no longer using the PMDG on FSX?
Hi EnikOLED
Yes I will be using the NGX occasionally but more for systems tutorials.
FD2S
Had to watch this one twice to get it 😅 sids are my weakness
Apollo Actual chart reading takes some familiarising!

Which 737 is more realistic/study level for training?
Pmdg or Zibo 737
Hi Malik,
Please check out my first ZIBO Tutorial review and see the pinned comment for my comparison of P3D/XP11 and the PMDG/NGX!

Having used XP11 a little more now I'm beginning to prefer the sim.
FD2S
Hello. Great videos. I was really pulling my hair out getting started but you have helped immensely. Would you have used Vnav straight from take off if you didn’t need to adopt NADP1?
Hi Chris, thanks!
You might find this useful.
th-cam.com/video/EnpK42MlolQ/w-d-xo.html
You only need to engage VNAV after flaps up no lights, you can arm VNAV on the ground and just retract the flaps as per NADP.
FD2S
Your videos are amazing! Thank you!! Why some constraints are magenta on CDU? Where did I get this performance app?Sometimes I think the Zibo trim and Vref settings are odd, as it takes about 85% of the runway to takeoff even above 65T TOW. Ive never experienced this on a real 737 takingoff from the same airports in real life.
Hi ARI
Active constraints are magenta, performance app is unavailable for general use (it's from my work electronic flight bag).
Might seem obvious but short fields typically use most of the runway to get airborne. Performance calculations ensure in the event of an engine failure you clear the end of the runway by at least 35ft by the end of your take off distance.
FD2S
Hello! I am a big fan of your vids, and your tutorials have helped me immensely. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication!
Just a quick question: In what circumstances, apart from a FMC failure, do we use HDG SEL instead of LNAV during a SID? Cheers!
Hi The Roaming Tofu,
Sometimes HDG SEL has to be used if there is a emergency turn procedure. LNAV also will not engage if the first track is more than 5 degrees off of the RWY HDG.
FD2S
Alright, thanks for the info!
How did you get TOGA on the Zibo Mod
Hi there!
It has been programmed on the button where it says +mic, you can also assign it to a button on your keyboard or joystick.
FD2S
Thx how do you program it
your averagepilot in the settings you can assign controls to the keyboard/controller. You can easily find how to online 👍🏼
FD2S
Excellent video! I'm just getting back into flight sim after finishing my PPL and preparing to start my ATPL exams in the next few months, and your videos have proved both intersting and entertaining, keep up the good work!
Quick question - what is the "dead band" you refer to just after rotation? I've never heard of it before.
Hi Tom, good luck with your training!
The Dead Band is caused by airflow being disturbed over the horizontal stabiliser as you rotate and ground effect, it occurs at approximately 10 degrees and requires an increase in back pressure to maintain a constant rotation rate.
FD2S
@@flightdeck2sim Thanks! Interesting stuff, cheers.
I know pmdg is not modelled to stay on magenta line etc when doing procedural approaches i wonder if this zibo mod can also can it do RF-LEGS? cause I know pmdg also cant do because the navigation system is very old
I think it’s better, ZIBO’s mod handles holds exceptionally well. From what I understand drawing the curved line is challenging from a programming point of view, although not drawn on the ND the aircraft is turning correctly. It’s improving all the time!
FD2S
Fslabs does it perfectly, ofcourse they dont do the boeing but still if they can do it, I think PMDG should be able to do it. Pmdg also dont draw the holds properly like the way you enter them for example tear drop entry and parallel or direct, does the real one draw it? I suppose it does.
Excellent video as always with great content all described in a very nice way!
...and it looks someone is becoming more and more of a celebrity being mentioned in the latest Navigraph newsletter 😉
Haha! The mention was highly appreciated, the simlink feature is awesome, would like it in the real aircraft!
FD2S
Couldn't agree more, it's truly great as is Navigraph as a company IMO. Been with them as a supporter and customer since they started many, many years ago.
Hey flightdeck2sim,
Thank you for your amazing tutorials!! I always enjoy them :)
I really want to know, what do you think "feels" more realistic when it comes to landing, especially flaring; the Pmdg in FSX or the Zibo in XPlane?
Hi Kordi,
Please check out my first ZIBO Tutorial review and see the pinned comment for my comparison of P3D/XP11 and the PMDG/NGX!

FD2S
Thanks for your reply!
Keep it up!
absolutely great explanation. good background info ...
Hi @flightdeck2sim, I have a question for you, how doy the airplane’s systems calculates the given percentage of N1 thrust? I play a Flightsim, but it hasn’t a live cockpit so tell me please the formula:)
Hi JU4N,
The fixed N1 derate is generated from the FMC based off the selected derate, assumed temperature and OAT, I think you can find that table online! I have no idea about the formula I'm afraid.
FD2S
Omg, thanks Captain that’s a huge help, I admire you a LOT!✈️👨✈️
Where can i get the app showed at 02:28
hey flight deck can you explain the deadband speed? is it v2 + 20? I dont believe all 737 ngs do that where it bugs the speed up automatically like that.
Hi there!
The Deadband has nothing to do with speed, it's caused by airflow being disturbed over the horizontal stabiliser as you rotate and ground effect, it occurs at approximately 10 degrees and requires an increase in back pressure to maintain a constant rotation rate.
FD2S
ah okay got! thank you I just noticed that the speed automatically bugs up to v2+20 which I haven't seen before
DnBaviator101 need to let ZIBO know, should stay at V2
FD2S
Very informative with good visuals
Thanks topgunjon!
FD2S
What Button did you push at 13:09 to accelerate?
The TO/GA button had been programmed to work by pushing the clock button (sorry the mouse cursor m wasn’t recorded for some reason!)
FD2S
@@flightdeck2sim Thank you
Thanks for the excellent video!
What are your feeling on X-Plane overall as a sim? and IYO how does Zibo's 737 compare to PMDG's?
Hi 90'sArcadeFighter,
Take a look at the pinned comment on my first ZIBO full flight tutorial where I give my initial comparison of both the PMDG/ZIBO and FSX/XP11

Hi, what’s your opinion on the SANBA1R departure from EGCC, cause it turns right before going left, and I can imagine it’s quite sickening or odd?
Don't know that SID off the top of my head but there are some quite "wiggly" ones out there. I should think it's for noise abatement.
FD2S
Hi FD2S
Another great tuturial as always! The 737-900 Ultimate has been released already (incl. the zibo mod). Stunning work! Check that out if you haven't already and hope to see you in the Ultimate in one of your next tuturials soon ;)
Hi MrPatLo, thanks!
Might give it a try at some point!
FD2S
Excellent tutorial, thanks FD2S, I've learned a lot from this...
You're most welcome!
FD2S
PMDG tutorials?
I will make a return to the NGX for some future tutorials
FD2S
can you do dark and could start up plz ?
Hi farouk
It's been requested A LOT! I will make one using the ZIBO MOD at some point.
Although I'm yet to make a dedicated cold and dark tutorial I do have some setups in my full flight tutorial playlist, please refer to Part 1 of my other Full Flight Tutorials for guidance on how to setup using the NGX

FD2S
Well done! Could you simulate Southwest Flight 1380? Thanks! ;)
Hi Martin,
I probably won’t replicate real world incidents, goes without saying the crew did an incredible job 😎
Will look at some Non-Normal Situations soon 👍🏼
FD2S
Thank you for the reply! Just can't imagine the uncommanded rapid roll to a left bank angle of 41 degrees. Do you actually experience the same thing in a full motion sim?
hi fd2s ,great vid mate keep them coming by far the best tutorial vid's out there,safe flying fella and look forward to your next one, regards michael:)
Thanks a lot Michael. Have a great weekend!
FD2S
hi fd2s ,your very welcome and the same to you ,keep them coming just fantastic detail ,no need to reply ,safe flying fella ,kind regards michael:)
From where do you get your charts?
I just saw the end of the video xD
Big Seneca LOL golden mate 😂😂😂😂
Great video, very informative!!
Thanks Berevity Gaming, hope you learnt something new!
FD2S
Dead band?
Dead Band is caused by airflow being disturbed over the horizontal stabiliser as you rotate. This means you have to increase back pressure at approximately 10 degrees to rotate continuously
FD2S
Boss don’t forget us on P3D world lol
Great video. But I have a friendly request please keep your voice loud and clear till the end of the sentence.
Please accept my critics as intended friendly.
Kindest regards,
Cor.
Hi Cor Swaager,
NP, Feedback noted 👌🏻
FD2S
always the best
Thanks a lot!
FD2S
are we going to talk about STAR as well? Thank you sir.
Yes sir!
FD2S
thanks for great video , i have a question , where did you get that tool at 2:27 th-cam.com/video/Szer2-8xekw/w-d-xo.htmlm27s from? any link please
Hi Abdel
It’s a performance app from my EFB which I believe isn’t available for general use. I’ve been advised there’s software called TOPCAT which provides comparable data for sim enthusiasts 👍🏼
FD2S
flightdeck2sim thanks for your reply, I used to have one for the A320 , but I recently started to fly the 737 and looking for such tools, your videos is very informative and helped me a lot understanding the 737 , thanks
Nice video but PMDG 737 in P3DV4 looks much better than this.
Thanks Emil and I’m sure it does!
