Both the 747 and 787 are 1000000% better than they were. It’s a night and day difference. There are some things that I wish were not inop, but night and day difference. Thanks for the content brother. Keep it up, and also congrats on moving over to the Airbus!
You are 100% right, the very best default aircraft in a sim, period! I still remember flying the 747-400 on FSX with my crappy laptop 🤣. Huge difference!
..we had the airbus a310 in november 2022 that was arguably study level the day it was introduced. i would argue that was the best 'default' atleast first.
Amazingly showcased Emmanuel. You’re THE guy to come to when seeing anything flight sim related like the potential of these newly updated aircraft. Your narration and execution is always humble, enthusiastic, and full of little quirks and professionalism at the same time. Keep up the great work, and bravo!
I've been flying the PMDG 737-800 and I had assumed that the default 747 would be junk. You have dissuaded me of that position, and I think I will start learning it.
I enjoy your videos. Thank you
Hi @doryds and everyone! Me as well. Flying the PMDG B737 before and waiting for the PMDG B777. I think is time to try this amazing B747 as a freighter on my preference. I’m studying it and will try.
Thanks for your videos. I would like to share that I did a flight previously and noticed couple of minor bugs:
1. The speed bug freezing and not changing on pfd even though I can change it on mcp, going to vnav and then back to speed again fixed it that time.
2. I was flying online and noticed the squawk code gets partially erased multiple times even after setting it again. (Like you spotted in the end as well)
3. Also when I pressed approach PB, only the LOC PB was engaged but I could see both LOC and GS armed on the Pfd. And once it captured the Loc, APP PB also engaged by itself and all 3 APs engaged automatically. Although didn't cause any issues with flying the approach normally, but seemed unusual as I was thinking it to be similar to the 737 AP.
4. Also found the manual brakes to be very weak, but the auto brakes seems fine. This was also highlighted by Jonathan Beckett in his video.
Any ways much welcomed updates. Happy to see the default air crafts getting these much needed overhaul and becoming usable for normal flight now. Hope these bugs get fixed soon. Thanks.
My guess: Next AAU is going to be Thales systems on the A320 Neo.
It's the last complex Avionics system untouched now.
Maybe they also rework the King Air as that one can also use some love after they did so on the TBM.
And through in a reworked FADEC for the Diamonds too that matches load and RPM to the PoH charts for good measure.
meh. why? fenix. hell, fbw. this would be a waste imho. do something we don't already have. the 747 was nice because we didn't have a 3rd party solution

@@lordmashie oh right right right...lol!
22:28 they put those for Harrison Ford. hahahah
The 787 and 747 AAU2 versions are the best default airliners in any simulator ever ! Probably won't buy a 747 or 787 as HD and Salty are going to have a field day adding to this.
I'm excited to see what Salty can do to this as well!
Even though it'll probably still stand no chance against the PMDG 747, but time will tell.
@737NGDriver well PMDG are doing a 400 only for msfs I did not hear about them doing the 8i so it will probably not overlap.
PMDG will blow this away, one of the reasons I still fly P3D. But great default aircraft if you just want to get up and go, with good FMC I suppose. Most of us flight simmers don't even use the PMDG to its full capacity I was guilty of that in the past. Doing some failure scenarios within P3D opens a whole new story ARC however. :D
@@Godzilla32 wasn't comparing them just stating the obvious I thought. Given your previous comment about PMDG you seem not be a fan of them. The develop great products for the niche flight sim community. I don't get the hive mind anti-pmdg train people immediately latch on to. My personal experience with their products have been great. Anytime I had issues with there aircraft they addressed via their ticket system. They've been the industry for over 20 years, must be doing something right.
A310 says hi!
It sounds like you really like the aesthetic beauty of the 747 as do I. I flew on my first 747 when I was 6 or 7 years old. It was 1971 or '72 and a TWA -100 to Rome. I think it was brand new had the Twin-Globe livery. It was awe inspiring to say the least. My family was going to Rome my dad got stationed in Naples in the USN. I have loved the 747 ever since. In my opinion it is the most beautiful commercial jet airliner ever built. The Concorde was beautiful airplane but that's comparing apples to oranges. how many passengers did the Concorde fly compared to the 747, probably not even a comparison. Who could afford it.
Near 41:31 when you go Flaps 5 and then the N1 drops to 27% and below, that's when the sound shows up. I was able to reproduce this same sound while flying a pattern with a 747 whenever I throttled back to idle. I don't know what this aural warning would be called, and unfortunately I haven't had a chance to ask the one 747 captain I know either.
Great! But still miss the PMDG 747-8, pure quality. Hope they hurry up releasing it (also their 777).
yeah. tbh i think the 747 is minimum 2-3 years away from now so we'll have to wait.
I mean, now that we have this, I’d much rather have PMDG work on something else after the 777. Working on a 748 would be a waste of time and most people wouldn’t buy it. Unless they released a 744 maybe but if it is a 748 like you said, that would be a waste for most people.
@owenklein9845 Exactly, we have de Headwind A330, and the upcoming Aerosoft A330 but we need a 777! Good memories on FSX :')
Love(d) to fly the cargo version!!
@@owenklein1917I could be wrong but AFAIK PMDG will release a 744. Honestly I think the PMDG 747 will sell anyway, people shopping for the quality of PMDG are not satisfied with this one IMO, at least I am not. It's good for flying it in the meantime but once PMDG drops this plane, I won't ever touch the Asobo one again.
Can we get an official tutorial on the finished 787 and 747?
"Cause what's the use in showing rivers?"
Cactus 1549:
There were these guys who released a 747 livery pack but modified the exterior and turned it into a full on freighter with no windows and a shortened hump. I really hope I can still use it with this and do some ups flights on it. That would be awesome.
This still works, I fly an Atlas freighter livery and it looks awesome
@@mbochove ah thank you man
Many happy memories of before I converted to the B777!😄
Thanks again for your time on the 747. Can't wait to fly the queen.
Great video for landing mechanics. Always a challenge for me. Thanks!
This update has turned the 747 from one of my least favourite areoplanes in tge game to a favourite. Especially with the honeycomb bravo.
I had two CTD's with the B787 when I tried to change the destination in the CDU.
All I can say is WOW and thank you! Blessings to you!
Thanks Emmanuel for your videos!!
my guess as to AAU3? The G3X avionics suite that so many default planes have.
It’s better than PMDG simply because it exists today. Looking at how the PMDG 777 and UFT are (not) progressing for many months already, I think many of us are going to get old and probably die before their 747 is released for MFS 2020, or at least MFS 2020 will be out of support that time, there will be MFS 2040 or so.
😂😂
Very nice videos. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Definitely very helping! Please, just keep it up 👍🏼
This will do very well until a good A380 comes along. I did a short test flight and I'm happy with the result!
Did you land in RNAV with the 747?
@@xjay1234 Not yet,
This is my go to channel for all updates.
We're finally starting to get what we paid for when we paid extra for the Premium Deluxe version of MSFS 3 years ago.
That vref speed thing seems to only occur when you engage approach mode (and I guess loc mode), prior to that it correctly stages the speeds with the flap movements.
When Lufthansa comes into MIA the airport blocks service roads due to wingspan, it also parks on J terminal gate J17. Definitely a show stopper when it arrives.
Looking at the charts, the 748 has not much to choose on, it is either gate J17A, F15A, E6A, E24A or remote stand E29.
How do step altitudes work in the 747? For example on the flight plan where your normal cruise alt would be but instead there is like 4 different altitudes there. Do you just pick the highest/lowest one, or do you program all of those into the FMC?
If memory serves its computed to allow fuel burn to allow the plane to get a bit lighter before climbing. It’s a performance issue in such a heavy jet.
Your initial altitude then change as you reach the waypoint where it indicates your step climb
The TAXI signs are for Harrison Ford
Because you're a real life pilot, and I loved when you used the 1+2 engines to help you with the turn onto the runway. I have a quad throttle setup myself and I always use only engines 2&3 for taxiing on the 747. But then I certainly use the left or right hand engines to help me with turns. Do 747 and for that sake, A340 and A380 use all 4 engines for taxi? And do they use the tremendous power they have on their wings to help with taxiing?
I’m an amateur noob but I can say I’ve watched some real life 747 cockpit takeoff vids and the pilot was using the engines to help turn. For what it’s worth.
19:35 That right there is the one thing that makes me hate the default planes. How the yoke doesn't move 1 to 1 with your inputs. Instead you can move it precisely and then it just lurches as you get to full deflection. I just don't understand the purpose of it.
I have seen Lufthansa park the 747 by concourse H and G. Atlas is usually parked in western cargo base. Unless getting some service and in that case I’ve seen it in the northeast base ;) @737NGDriver
J17 these days
Wow cool where we get the sound mod? Good Video and looking forward to start soon with the 747 🎉
looking forward to you making videos on the aerosoft a330 (if you are going to of course)
Everyone is loving this new release - I hate it. It has jacked up so many thing for me that I just don’t enjoy the sim. I think the mods they made would actually be awesome but I have things like the auto throttle flaking out on me on the 787, or the AP just not working on the 747…. And on landing, my 787 now slams to the left or right. I wish I could roll back.
A great tutorial - thanks. I was wondering, do you use anything special to "move" the cockpit camera?
Excellent video. Do you disengage A/T before landing? Seems like it's engaged all the way yet it didn't affect flare and rollout.
I have the same question. I guess you leave it on and it disengages automatically when you retard the thrust levers, like in the airbus.
Possibly so, but the A/T switch remained in the armed position all the way.
@@uzo6165 Armed means armed, not necessarily on. If I'm not mistaken, on boeings you arm the autothrottle as you enter the runway, but it only engages once you are lined up and press the TO/GA button. Same could happen on landings. It disengages when it's manually overriden but remains armed in case you press the TO/GA and decide to do a go around.
@@FernandoLXIX Aha! Makes sense. Thanks.
as a new simmer, what is the application used to get the route and runway diagram you use at 1:05
thanks
Thanks Captain 👍
I am currently flying this route from Vegas to Miami and everything is working perfectly except the VNAV after takeoff. This is a problem I don't seem to be able to solve, neither on -8 nor the 78X. After takeoff the aircraft climbs to 10000 feet, respecting any restrictions along the way, then refuses to climb any higher. I have found that if I change to FLCH and constantly hammer the FLCH button until the aircraft has climbed past 12-13000 feet then it will continue. I have tried all sorts of arming of the buttons before takeoff and nothing helps. I have also renamed the Community folder ensuring no interference from any add-on. Later addition: I have now reached the later part of the journey and the descend experience was the same as previously mentioned. The aircraft leveled off at 10000 feet and then I had to resort to the same as during the climb namely hammering the LVCH button to get it down to 8000 feet and then everything worked. Any idea or comment would be appreciated.
While it improves the package, A310 os still the best when it comes to defaults.
Just a question regarding landing items; when and on what circumstance(s) do you decide to put the gear down? In this landing I've noticed you set the gear down at roughly 2000ft MSL and also set flaps to 20, but on other videos...say for example the Palermo circle approach in the A320, you've set the gear down at around 3000ft MSL.
It will depend on the aircraft type and approach flown.
In the 737 we put the gear down at 4NM in VMC and 5NM in IMC, on the A330 we do it at 2500ft AAL for normal decellerated approaches, earlier for early stabilized appraoches.
For most aircraft 6NM (roughly 2000ft AAL) works very well and gets you fully stabilized through the 1000ft gate.
@@A330Driver thanks for answering!
It seems that the autothrottle was left in ARM mode. Would you normally turn A/T off when you turned Autopilot off on approach?
Interesting your approach mode button automatically lowered the plane down (ILS).
However, I am trying to land with RNAV and when I press the approach button it does not go down the GLIDE PATH. Just flies over the approach runway.. the G/P is in white and the ALT in green - but normally the G/P or G/S (if ILS) would be lit in green.
Could you do an RNAV landing see if you figure it out?
Heya, great video!
One question, from what I saw you leave A/T Arm switch ON. Do you still reduce thrust manually, when you are 20 ft from the ground, or does it do automatically with A/T on?
Is it wrong to disable A/T when shutting off AP, at 1000 ft? Thx!
On the 787 are you supposed to let auto throttle do it’s thing until the flare or should you disengage it sooner. Please make a video I am very unsure
can they also allow us to open all the doors. Looks weird on GSX when half the doors are closed. I know i'm asking for too much 🙈
I think this aircraft has a problem now with the IRS whenever i switch the buttons to NAV it doesn’t do anything i wait like 10 min and i switch to instant aligns as well but same problem doesn’t work
On short final, are you using trim or only the yoke to change your pitch ?
I’ve had issues with this new update bc I can’t toggle reverse thrust with my saitek throttle quadrant.Even tho I have it set to idle then engines are at 2 to 3% of power so it won’t let me reverse thrust for some reason…maybe it’s a bug but man I love the new avionics but the speed brakes are even messed up so hope they’ll fix these issues but I wonder if it’s the game
What is the app you're using in this video - doesn't look like Navigraph charts? Thanks
SimToolKitPro
Weather radar is working
I get the yellow warning “WAI switch off” in the mfd , and I can’t figure out how to clear it. I do know that it has something to do with the bleed system or the packs.
Wing Anti Ice
@@lordmashie thank you!!!! This was driving me crazy. Makes total sense. I forgot to put it in auto mode. Oddly, there was nothing on Google for this message.
What is the overlay APP you use to see the charts flight plans etc ?(essentially an EFB)
Navigraph and Simbrief.
In one area it’s better than the PMDG: it has a default but working weather radar!
No, not working. Not at all.
@@A330Driver Yes, it’s working. You can just not configure it. But if you click the WXR button and approach rain clouds it works. Can send you pictures.;-) I also didn’t believe it until I saw it.
@@ChMueller001 What Emi refers to as working is "working as in real life". And it very much does not behave like any WXR radar should.
@@KJA1582 Ok, that may be.😊
Any likelihood of simbrief integration?
There is full Simbrief integration, just hit RTE -> Request and the current Flp imports. Obviously you have to add your Simbrief ID and that's it.
Hi Emi, where is the cockpit clock on the B747-8i
Thanks Emi, found it , on the ND top right, cheers
Do they changed the stock pilot view?
WT are some talented guys without a doubt, when I first got my hands on (what was then a 3rd party addon) the G1000NXI and saw how much care they took in the VNAV profiles, RTF’s in RNP approaches,etc. that was pretty evident.
While for a base package update it’s great, still would have liked to see an EFB and the lack of simbrief integration (particularly for AOC uplinks into the FMS) is kind of a non starter for me.
I suppose I’ve became spoiled with the likes of the Fenix A320ceo and PMDG B738 lol, but I will just wait for the PMDG 74 (:
On a completely separate note and totally off topic lol:
Anyone know if Simbrief/Navigraph has any intention on expanding on the OFP formats to include more carriers? Missing some of the domestic (US) staples like FFT, AAU, SWA, NKS, et al…
I’m sure it’s a PITA as you need to have the support behind it of a dispatcher familiar with that particular carriers OFP packs and maybe even permission from the carrier? It wb nice to see the list expanded a bit though.
Up next: F-15E Strike Eagle for DCS (one can dream right)
Can you use the salty mod with this new update ?
is it possible to import from simbrief into the 747 using default aircraft
How did you set your fmc to be in kg? Mine is in lbs, I hate lbs.
Change your sim units to metric.
Does RNAV APPROACH STILL WORKS WITHE THE DEFAULT 787 and 747?
Check my 787 video, I did an RNAV approach in there.
FTSIM+ sounds?
Sooooo is this out like.. out of beta?
Why since this update have I been getting this horrid white box around fenix displays? And a white dot in the centre of the screen?
Just a shame with default aircraft that not all doors work
Hi ,after the AAU2 update, 747 8i the landing and taxi lights no longer work ! is it the same for you?
They worked fine for me. If you used any previous mods on them I suggest to remove those and start clean.
Does anyone has this bug while flying second leg when the plane keeps showing vdev since the beginning of the flight? And also autobrake warning shows on the eicas after takeoff all the way until I select any autobrake
it' salty or asobo B747 ???? and where are the updates??? thank 's
The update is awesome, but I feel there is still something lacking in terms of the inertia. It just does not feel as heavy as it should. to me the PMDG - 400 version seem very realistic. Obviously I’ve not flown the real aircraft so I have no baseline.
I do prefer night landings, this isn't a VFR flight. You are flying instruments. If people want to see "scenery" they should request a piper cub stream. :)
Why doesn’t the 747 sound the same on Xbox.
Isnt there any other livery than that damn Boeing livery? You say it's a private party..you could at least use a business jet livery
When I engage lnav and vnav it does not neither follow the flight plan nor the cruising altitude but it stays at 10000. Also when it is time to descent it does not descent. What do I do wrong?
Try to switch shortly to the heading mode and then back to LNAV. That solved it for me when I had this bug one time.
Before the T/D is reached you have to enter a lower altitude without pushing the button. It then descends automatically when the ToD is reached.
So let me get this straight. The fact that lnav does not follow the flight plan is a bug and it has nothing to do with me. In vnav I have to put the cruising altitude without pressing the button and when I cruise I have to put a lower value in order vnav to do its job when it is time to descent. Am I right about all these?
@@harrisfafoutis5148 Yes, exactly. Apart from this small bug sometimes it works very good.
What should I do if the vnav does not do its job? It was holding me at 6.000 feet and did nothing else
Emanuel was wrong on engine start button illumination.
Possible pilot deviation, I have a number for you to call...
Is better Asobo 747 or Salty 747?
The default 747 is more of the WT 747 now although Asobo did the modeling and original FMC (which was horrendous). Salty 747 as of now is irrelevant as the systems did not come close to the current default 747 (which "Working Title" improved dramatically). If you have the salty 747, uninstall as of now until they make changes on the new default 747 and continue to update.
@@jdzzl thank you so much! :-)
still not complete, far from it.
She is a lady… 😍
Sounds from the outside are awful though
