Thank You for taking the time and effort to produce these videos. It is a great study in real world knowledge, regarding the 777 and 737. I for one, really appreciate it!
Very nice thank you Captain NAV, the flightsim community is a dedicated one and it is nice to see that so many people devote much of their time to teach the other flightsimmers something new...subscribed
+Marc Lohman No problem, you are welcome. I am glad you like the videos. There are more than 100 videos on the channel. I invite you to have a look around and enjoy the channel.
Guten Tag Kaptain Nav. You sound German to me. I really appreciate you effort in putting these 777 tutorials together. I turned 70 last October and have a mission to master the 777/300. Oh yes! I live in Franschhoek, South Africa and my handle is FASH. Blessing & keep up the good work.
Howdy HeavyHauler - appreciate the info. In that case, I guess a Bonjure Monsieur (Capitaine Nav) would have been in order, then. I am a Caucasian African of French Huguenot descent. Kind regards, Robin
Hi Captain nav ( or is it JP). I often refer to your tutorials and think they are excellent. I'm currently using your pmdg 777 tutorials for the captain nav 777. I love the sexy French accent too Sir.
Hi Captain ! Great video as always ! I watched the replay of the livestream DUB - BOS and I thought it would be a great idea if you could explain/show what's the correct procedure if you want to divert to your ETOPS alternate while on the NAT tracks and maybe also the correct weather avoidance procedure ? I've never seen anyone explaining this kind of stuff :) Keep up the good work !
+Sam7x Thank you. I talked a little bit about ETOPS during the flight (possibly episode and 2), but your suggestion is noted. Thank you :-) Keep them coming.
Can you do an in-flight engine restart tutorial please? I had dual engine failure at 30,000 ft because my side fuel tanks ran out of fuel and only had middle tank... but I didn't know how to restart the engines.
Hi, I have never flown the Pmdg 777 but as per my knowledge, the center tank fuel is used first and then the main tank fuel is used. How could the fuel in the center tank be left and the fuel in the main tank has finished? There is a possibility I think, You might have not turned ON the center tank pumps.
Great! hope i can remember it all! :) im used to the garmin for the 737 so im looking forward to finding out how to line up for the runway without the ILS cue. also there is no nearest airport button in the fmc right?
Just purchased the 777 and I was flying around thanks to your tutorials but when I enter on final approach, the ILS shows the correct runway ID, but not the glideslope/localizer dots on PFD. Yes, I looked to the Nav/Rad page and there was the correct frequency for the ILS. So... am I missing something? The same happens with 747, I am more use to fly the 737 because I have to tune the freq and course manually and be able to land with no problem. However, thanks for all these tutorials, already subbed!! :3
+Mario Hammett Sometimes the ILS hides behind the LNAV and VNAV display and is hard to see. In that case, it shows as a grey empty lozenge for both the localiser and the glideslope (if I remember properly). Sometimes when you select the ILS in the FMC, the frequency can be different from the one in the simulator and therefore the ILS won't display. Thank you for watching the channel. Enjoy!
Is there a way to tune the freq and course manually? I've already done some testing and the only different from the FMC and Sim(FSX) is the course. Thanks for the help!!
+Mario Hammett If the frequency is the same in FSX and the FMC navigation database, then there should not be a problem, the ILS should be tuned automatically. You can see that in the NAV RAD page.
Good Morning Captain. You have elped me a lot in the past, one simple question. Is there any update, or addon for PMDG 777 regarding the ground vehicles? I have recently bought PMDG 747 and there are a lot of them in 747. Something similar for 777?? Thank you
+Adrian Koola Thank you very much. We would always use the auto start, unless the function is u/s. If it is u/s, then we would do the "Manual Engine Start" Supplementary Procedure, which you can find in the FCOM (basically, the manual). If you do the manual engine start, you put the fuel in at about 25% N2, if I remember well. Similar to the 737... the book says at maximum motoring speed...
It's better to switch to ta/ra when you enter the runway and leave it on standby when taxiing, because when it's set to ta/ra, the ground controller's screen is flooded with text and information from aircraft who switch to ta/ra and it becomes quite chaotic for him/her.
hi sir , your video are A-WE-SOME , Congrats ^^ !! You have the support of the french facebook page " Flight Simmer's" !! Have a nice day captain Fly Safe :)
Nice Tutorial Captain Nav... Let me ask you some questions... Are you using mods for communication with the ground crew (with audio) and for doing the pushback procedures?
I assume you mean the Flight Path Vector. You can access it via the EFIS panel by pressing the FPV button. Unlike the Flight Director, the FPV does not tell you where to point the aircraft, but where the aircraft is going.
Hi, Would be a great idea if there is a Telegram groupchat, so that pilots and aspiring pilots could share their knowledge and latest update on the 777 development. I’ve seen similar groupchat for the A320.
Thank You for taking the time and effort to produce these videos. It is a great study in real world knowledge, regarding the 777 and 737. I for one, really appreciate it!
+CaptMustang51 At your service, sir! I am glad you find the videos useful and they help you with your simulator.

Thank you, I am glad you find the tutorials useful and helpful. As for the accent😄😅
And sorry, I meant the Captain Sim 777 !!
Very nice! Is there a need to check the FCTL Synoptics page for movement too?
No, there is no need to check the synoptics. Some airlines do it, others don't, but it is not essential.
Thank you very mutch for this tutorials!
+Bruno Santos Thank you, I am glad you found it useful. Look around the channel for more tutorials and also tips and tricks in flight videos. Enjoy!
It's really awesome from you to share your knowledge with us means a lot for us simmers :D
+Bruno Santos No worries at all, it is good fun.

Hey Captain Nav, do you use a software for the viewing angles? because in fsx if I am not wrong you don't have to centre pedestal view by default.
Yes the software is called EZDOK.
Thanks
Is there a take off tutorial or should I just watch one of the full flight ones to see that part?
Hi. I don't have a takeoff tutorial unfortunately but yes, any of the full flight videos can do the trick indeed...👍😄
Can you do an in-flight engine restart tutorial please? I had dual engine failure at 30,000 ft because my side fuel tanks ran out of fuel and only had middle tank... but I didn't know how to restart the engines.
Ye Oo Yeah I can certainly have a look at it, request noted.

You have the ALTN button in the FMC. It will give you the 4 closest airports.

is it ok if i leave APU on during the flight? or should i turn it off before i taxi?
Hey...no you should turn it off before you taxi. Leaving the APU on serves no purpose.😎

Thanks. There should be an update soon for the 777, PMDG have announced....👍
@@CaptainNav thank you so much, we shall wait then! Take care and be safe!
Always informative Captain Nav. Do you ever start engines without auto start? eg. Put the fuel in at 33 % n2? Cheers
+Adrian Koola Thank you very much. We would always use the auto start, unless the function is u/s. If it is u/s, then we would do the "Manual Engine Start" Supplementary Procedure, which you can find in the FCOM (basically, the manual).

Cheers Captain Nav, appreciate your answer! Looking forward to your next one :) Take care and fly safe !!
+Adrian Koola You are welcome, take care!
TCAS and WX radar should be off as long as you are at the ramp,in case of radioactive danger for ground crews. It you turned the TCAS on at gate?
+Garry Wan True weather radar should remain off until well away from ramp. The TCAS can be switched on on the ramp, that's no problem.
It's better to switch to ta/ra when you enter the runway and leave it on standby when taxiing, because when it's set to ta/ra, the ground controller's screen is flooded with text and information from aircraft who switch to ta/ra and it becomes quite chaotic for him/her.

How you change the view from the panels i mean you change from overhead to throttle panel
+TutorialMac With EZDOK. It is a software that allows you to change the views, etc....

How do you open every doors
You can open the doors with the centre FMC
Are there no free alternative flight planning software available
No, not really, there is always a paid element....

Nice Tutorial Captain Nav... Let me ask you some questions... Are you using mods for communication with the ground crew (with audio) and for doing the pushback procedures?
+Gustavo José Santos Thank you. Yes I use GSX (Ground Services X) which simulates communication with ground crew and allows you to pushback.
Captain Nav thanks for the answer, sorry btw, that was on the video descripton 😀
+Gustavo José Santos No worries, feel free to ask questions or post comments anytime. Thank you.
Hi Captain Nav. I'm wondering what the thing that looks like another flight director is. Could you tell me what it is and how I could access it?
I assume you mean the Flight Path Vector. You can access it via the EFIS panel by pressing the FPV button. Unlike the Flight Director, the FPV does not tell you where to point the aircraft, but where the aircraft is going.
Thanks.
Game/software used for the tutorial is Microsoft flight simulator... right?
Hi,
Would be a great idea if there is a Telegram groupchat, so that pilots and aspiring pilots could share their knowledge and latest update on the 777 development. I’ve seen similar groupchat for the A320.
I have a Discord server in which we chat about all things simulation and aviation 👍😉
@@CaptainNav Hi Capt Nav, I'm interested to join the Discord server. Many thanks in advance.
Is the link to join the Discord in the video description?
How to turn on the avionics???????????
Check the cold and dark tutorial on the channel
What about the Gears that won't retract or extract?

This is the PMDG 777, you need to purchase it.
Can i ask u something how do u open the doors for the 777
Tu es francais ?
Oui avec l'accent je peux pas trop dire le contraire.
Captain Nav 😂 tkt je te dis pas que tu parle mal entre francais on se reconnais 😂
How can I get a free PMDG 777. Please someone Give me link....
There is no such link and I will not tolerate anything dodgy here...
