- To enhance your flight simulation experience. Not for real world use.
New to the Zibo 737 or other highly detailed Boeing aircraft? If so, then we will help you learn the autopilot functions in the MCP (Mode Control Panel). Multiple elements are shown including, speed control, navigation by heading and VOR, vertical navigation in N1, Vertical speed, and Level Change.
Boeing aircraft have similar logic so with the exception of the 707, 727, and 737-200, this video should help you in all other civilian Boeings.
We did not discuss the altitude intervene, speed intervene and IAS/MACH functions in this video, as they were outside the scope of this production. This video is aimed for new pilots of the Zibo (and there are many) to learn the basic automated functions and begin flying with minimal time.

Man, you guys put so much work into your channel for the amount of support you get in return. Keep up the awesome work, hopefully one day you’ll truly be rewarded for your dedication to this channel :)
Thank you very much for the kind words, it is a team effort here. We try to coordinate our video content so that it doesn’t get dull! Comments like yours really keep us motivated.
Very nice intro to the MCP. Lots of Zibo simmers want to jump into flying routes, cold/dark starts, autoland etc. Sometimes it's cool to just do a little sightseeing using the MCP. BTW, I liked the creative short field landing!
Thank you for the feedback. We notice a lot of people are excited to fly the Zibo, but it has a steep learning curve! Glad you liked the landing :). Cheers
Enjoyed that! I am familiar with this aircraft..and for the Autoland feature to work..both NAVS need to be tuned to the loc and set both courses the same. You probably know this already..but for those that didn't. Great info and video to watch..I don't know everything ..always watching for things that I might miss or never seen used before.Thank you! keep it up!..subbed
Thanks James!
This is very useful and easy to understand. I'm no longer confused about these similar functions. THANKS!
Thank you for taking the time to comment. We are glad you found it useful.
Excellent!
Thank you!
WOW....Great tutorial... Thank you
Our pleasure, glad you enjoyed it!!
thumbs really up !!!!!!!
Thanks for taking the time to comment, and we hope this helped!
Hi Just found this ,at the right time in my learning curve.Well done and thank so much .R.
Thanks for commenting! A lot of videos focused on the FMC (which we also have), but we felt this was an overlooked gap. Glad it helped!
Simply fantastic! Best MCP explanation I’ve found.
Thanks! We are glad you found it useful. We felt a video showing the basic autopilot functions was needed since much of the focus is on the FMC.
This was very useful. Subscribing! Thanks so much for being a little repetitive so that I could see you do it more than once to understand what you were doing. That was much easier than pausing the video, going back and replaying. I didn't see you demonstrate the ALT INTV or SPD INTV buttons. Did I miss something?
Angle of attack display... I have wondered what that was for weeks.
Thanks again.
Trevs Shed 👍. I think the displays vary, so be sure to have those options selected!
Nice video! Is that virtual tablet on the left side of the 3D cockpit for maps and charts included with the Zibo 737, or is it a plugin/add-on?
I believe the Zibo has it available, however you need the Avitab plug in for chart functions
Thanks for this tutorial, great intro to the 737. Autopilot can be pretty confusing.
SHALASHASKA thank you. We are glad it was able to assist. It’s not that bad once you get the hang of it.
Flight Brothers FT 👌
Questions: I have been setting my heading to the departure airport and the course to the route to the arrival airport before takeoff. Then later set the course to the actual
runway landing heading. I don't think that is all to it. I notice that at different times you change the heading and then at times the course. How do you know when
to change these settings. I was using MFS-X and that is easier to fly and find the airport. Now I have installed X-plane 11 and can't seem to get to the airport to land.
It must be the settings of the course or headings or some other factors. My FMC is programed correctly, so I don't believe it is that. Help! Again, you make great videos!
We just saw this comment. The heading is controlling where the airplane is going. Course is a bearing or radial to or from a navaid, be that an VOR ADF or ILS. If you want to see more of the course usage and VOR work, we have a livestream with the FlyJSim 727 where both Tim and I fly and exercise a little CRM (Crew Resource Management). th-cam.com/video/Zu0KguokqnY/w-d-xo.html
This Tutorial is for advanced . Thanks.
Yonas Abebe we believe this can get anyone flying the Zibo wherever they’d like to go. Manipulating the auto pilot in this manner requires no FMC programming.
That was sweet, hopefully you’ll do more of those auto pilot ones like that
Canadian Builder Snowboarder thanks for the feedback. Are you looking for anything in particular? We have numerous videos on the channel.
"Economy Climb Page"? I've never heard nor seen that page. How do you get to it? Never even seen a setup video mentioning it. @ Approx 9:00 minutes. Can you also do a video on how to use the flight map things on the pilot's left side?
If you open your map and select a runway to be tuned to your radio, do you have to put those numbers shown on the course?
Depends on the aircraft avionics layout whether it’s “required”. It’s a good idea to do so. In some of the smaller GA planes, if you don’t, the indication may mislead you.
Ok. Thank you!
@@MrFilTheFish our pleasure, thanks for watching!
N1 for takeoff throttle. I have always just manually pushed the throttles forward. I will use N1 from now on. Is this more efficient?
Kreemerz it allows the automation to help you. Since takeoff thrust setting is a calculated N1 value based on many factors (runway length, temperature, humidity, elevation, runway slope etc) whether you choose to do it manually or through the autothrottles you should arrive at the same N1 % value based on the performance charts. Using the auto throttle gives you a more seamless transition from take off power, to flaps up, to climb power.
@@FlightBrothersFT Is there any difference between hitting the N1 button or TO/GA on takeoff? I've never seen the N1 button being used. By the way, the TO/GA button in the Zibo plane is the Mic button on the upper Captain's dash.
This was a great video. It definitely helped explain things in a clear and concise manner. Thank you for putting this together.
Frank Perreault it’s the same result, do as you like
Nice tutorial - highly appreciate if you can do a short flight with FMC data input between KSBA to KLAX for real Zibo Mod beginners
Tim has done exactly that here - different airports, but the process is what is needed. th-cam.com/video/Mkno79J9XVA/w-d-xo.html
shouldn't the engine switches be switched to continuous?
During critical phases of flight yes. Takeoff/Landing, moderate precipitation/turbulence.
Mae Problem es That When I Try To download it it shows up a messege saying that the master bank sounds are dammaged and I’m getting crazy cuz I wanna fly plss some contact me plss
We would suggest deleting your existing Zibo, downloading a clean copy, and do a fresh install. This seems to solve most problems.
@@FlightBrothersFT I already try it and I reinstall X-Plane 3 times now and if this doesn’t work I will use the 737 default cause I don’t have any other option
I don’t have access to my computer right now, but you did copy the default 737 and rename it with the “X” at the end? Short of the clean Zibo install and the correct naming, we’ve not encountered the difficulties you’re describing.
Thanks you for the informative tutorial. What is the use of CWS buttons on auto pilot command section (below CMD A and CMD B)?
Control Wheel Steering is rarely used. I believe it holds the flight surfaces in a given position (similar to how Airbus normally works). I'm not completely sure on that though.
Yeah it holds whatever position the control wheel is ... 15 degrees and you press cws and it holds it there
What version of Zibo mod 738 are you using? I installed the latest version, 3.44 full, with the #2 patch and it seems like the instrument panel has some issues, it's not displaying the heading at the top of the Navigation Display screen, where it normally shows it, instead it shows "---", and the attitude indicator display doesn't display correctly. I deleted the entire folder for the aircraft and installed version 3.40 full, and still that didn't help, and I followed the instructions just as outlined in both cases. Before I go to Zibo's Google drive and see what older versions are available, I thought I would check with you. Thanks in advance.
We aren’t sure, it was probably a 3.2 ish build. I believe the video is over a year old to this point.
@@FlightBrothersFT Thanks.
Why sometimes we cannot engage VNAV and LNAV after setting up the flight computer?
In what capacity? If this is a recent Zibo, the flight directors MUST be centered in order to engage. The aircraft will not let the auto flight engage if off the intended flight plan, and you must manually fly it to correct.
When you engaged the Approach button, the Loc and APP lights went off is it normal ?
The App mode should stay on since its armed, but the LOC light turning off is normal.
I just cant turn on the CMD no matter what any advice ?
Check that both flight directors are in the up/on position.
@@FlightBrothersFT still dosent work :(
Xili Viation you’re trying to get the AP engaged right? If this is a more recent Zibo, the aircraft must be centered on the flight directors for engagement/capture to work.
.......Did I miss something......A LOT of data you entered into the FMC you don't describe....Tutorial...... gotta go back and watch this.... The AP controls are easy interfacing with the FMC is another ball game you skipped over.... I think like I said Im gonna go back....
Sorry for the confusion. We do have separate tutorials for the Zibo FMC as well as the default Xplane FMS. We have broken the videos down into the more specific topics, even though they are closely related, to try and help people find exactly what they need without being overwhelmed with all the functions at once.
Other flight brother here, we entered NO data into the FMC during the recording of this video. I wanted to show that you don’t need the FMC to fly the plane for fun. As Tim said, sorry for the confusion.
