This is, hands down, no question, the best friggen PMDG tutorial PERIOD!

Eli is great - a very engaging and enthusiastic teacher

Im terribly upset watching this video…that I have just now found this channel and not earlier. Great video!

Haha, well, better late than never 😉

This was awesome, the fact a real pilot was able to do all the checks, preps, flows, and normal ops. Makes me supper excited to get my virtual hands on this beauty!

I am not a 777 pilot, but a 747-400, 747-8, and 787 pilot (retired) This is great, I will watch this full video since I will end up getting the PMDG version for MSFS. I did not realize how long this bird is. The -400 is 231 feet long, but it depends on fuel load whether the 777 is wider. The 747-400 is 211 feet wide with a low fuel load, but in loading a heavy fuel load, the wings flex out to 213 feet, making it 1 foot wider and the tail is higher at 64 feet on the -400…

Oh how interesting! Thanks for sharing this and I hope you enjoy the 777 when you get it.

This is amazing, thank you! I am 2.5 hours in and already have learnt a tonne coming from the 737

This is what I’ve been waiting for. Someone who knows the systems inside out to run us through the complexity and intricacies PMDG have been able to recreate. I have to say I’m mighty impressed!

Great format. Pilot-splaining to a smart, inquisitive Brit=magic. Love this and the info being shared here. Having two people walking thru the setup in a way that I would if I had the opportunity to sit in a cockpit with a pilot is brilliant and dont think anyone else is doing. Perfection. Had to chime back in when you got to the arrivals bit - thanks so much for asking the question that no one ever asks or no other simmers on YT ever explain is if and should the arrival always be plugged into the box while still on the ground. Thank you!

As a former real world 777 pilot, I think this tutorial is superb and full of some excellent obscure knowledge about this fantastic aircraft. I love this guys teaching style. His expertise and experience shines through. PMDG really did a wonderful job of recreating this plane and it will only get better with future updates.

I have never watched a video or stream over about an hour and a half. This video was so educational that I could not stop watching. I have saved it and will be using the chapters after buying the 777. Thank you both for helping me learn.

What an awesome chap to listen too, very entertaining. Eli man, probably the most interesting video I’ve seen on KZread for years. I just found him guiding us on flying this plane so interesting . I’ve flown in real life as a passenger in this aircraft many many times. Use to fly to Taiwan once/twice a year with EVA air who use the 777. Thanks Filbert for bringing us this amazing vid. Well done both of ya

I love how heavily Eli obviously prepared for this. Loved all the little stats and fun facts about the plane. What a champion.

Yeah, all those stats and comparisons when we did the spin around outside were great weren't they? Really got me feeling enthused for the rest of it.

Amazing tutorial - that was by far one of the best instructors I have listened to. Wanted to watch step by step but actually sat through the whole video in one go 😂. What a landing too - thanks for everything!

I really thought I already had a decent understanding of the 777 for release on day 1 but Eli has really shown some great shortcuts to help simplify things even more!! Great video guys 🙏🏻

@@FilbertFlies yeah I’m not the type to sit and watch hour long tutorials but their was just something about this one that kept me watching all the way thru. I now have about 2 pages of notes aswell from watching this video as if it were almost a little study session 🤣

Thank you both, Filbert & Eli for producing this tutorial for us mere mortals. Certainly makes for a more fulfilling experience for a non irl pilot. 👍🏼

Hi Filbert, thanks to you and Eli for taking the time to do this. I found your previous 737 fly along tutorial really helpful so I’m looking forward to this. It will take time to learn how to operate this incredible aircraft, but it’s so satisfying once you figure it out. This will be a great companion to the PMDG 777 manual once they release it. Thanks again and happy flying.

I was searching the internet for just this kind of video to help me learn about the pmdg 773 before release!

This is a fantastic video, Eli is absolutely great. Very enthusiastic and fascinating to listen to as he talks about complex topics in an understandable fashion. You both really made a 4 hour video not seem long!

Thank you Captain, I love your tutorial because you try explaining everything in detail , I'm a serious flight simmer and try my best to learn as much as possible even small things, I really love your tutorial video, I really appreciate it for your time and efforts . Again thank you so much . No

I absolutely love this! Can't help cracking up at Eli's commentary. Awesome!

+1! In prepping for SAEZ - MMMX, I followed along in my SIM. He not only explains what to do, but explains how and why for each step. It took an extra couple of hours but was well worth the time. Thank you FilbertFlies and 'guest'!

Incredible tutorial!!! Step by step everything is explained perfectly, also for people who are slower and/ or coming from the Airbus... Can't wait to put the learning into action. Many thanks!

Filbert's 737 Tutorial was the one i watch and note every frame while i was preparing my custom checklists and procedures for 737, this will be the one for 777. thank you for this masterpiece. For any new simmers that want so fly 777, this is the only video that you need to watch and learn how to fly 777 without a problem in MSFS.

Brilliantly done. I love that this isn't just a "do this, do that" kind of video. I don't know how it took me this long to find your channel, but this video really helped me understand the 777. Thank you!

A great piece of work……Thank you. The fact that the genuine 777 pilot has been there, done that and got the ‘tee shirt’ to prove it, gives gravitas to the whole set-up/flight experience. After less than 10 mins of watching the tutorial (and I consider myself a fairly experienced pilot) I had already learnt 2 things that are specific to the 777 FMC set-up flow. Credit to you for putting this all together and of course to PMDG for a seriously amazing piece of development……..no wonder it took longer than originally anticipated……..but well worth the wait.

definitely going to watch this a couple times but picked up quite a few things I had no clue about, thanks!!

this is the best tutorial i ever seen, thx to the capt too. great

The video he is referencing to is A330driver, he made a really good "How To" plan long haul flights including etops, great watch, also massive thanks for this video, I'm using it to prepare me prior to PMDG releasing the 777

Incredible video Filbert. Thanks to you and Eli.

The best Tutorial i ever have seen and so understandably even for me as beginner. So funny and informative and where you can come back later when you have questions about anything. Thank you

Ok, just starting this video, I may have to re listen to this whilst working my normal job like I did for the 737 video so as to learn how to fly the 777. Thanks for the upload.

i enjoyed when he talked about the characteristics didnt know alot of that was pretty cool

Hi mate! This is an absolutely incredible video and tutorial. I bought the 777 2 days ago and have already flown from OMDB-EHAM and then EHAM-OMDB the same day. I’m currently flying to KJFK from OMDB and I have many more planned. I’m quite experienced in flight simming and knew how to fly the 777 straight away but I still watched this to get a bit more of a realistic experience and have things to do during cruise instead of watching KZread the whole time so thank you so much man! Sorry about the rude comments, you 100% don’t deserve them and I don’t understand why you got them but keep up the amazing work! 💪

Loved this video all the way through. Eli is a great teacher, it's nice you can even see tricks they do in the real plane working in the PMDG. Great vid!

What a great video. Thanks for making this collaboration.

I remember trying to teach my buddy how to fly PMDG's 738 just over a discord screen share... I can agree with Eli it's a mental exercise - considering I can't point or anything and it's just a whole bunch of "no up, no too far up... no that's not autopilot panel, no that's the wrong screen." The best moment of that session was after getting them somehow all the way to the arrival airport their TCAS yells "traffic traffic", so I told him "there's no way I'm teaching you how to do a go around right now just continue the landing." Then 2 seconds later there was an A320 taking off on the perpendicular runway (it wasn't even active XD gotta love MSFS online) Anyway, just from my basic understanding of the 737 this tutorial was beautiful. I cannot wait for the airplane to release as now I understand (nearly) everything about this aircraft. Great video ty to you and Eli!

wow! this was really helpful. just switched from the A320 family and the approach procedures of the 777-300ER were a bit difficult for me but you guys have made it really simple to understand. Thank you Captains!

this is beautiful work! many thanks for organizing this and thanks to Eli who is a wonderful instructor!

This is SO good. Huge thanks to Eli and yourself for arranging this. Honestly this is so comprehensive and I feel MUCH more confident flying this thing in the sim now thanks to this video :)

Thanks Eli for showing us the ropes! Brilliant instructor, entertaining and educational about the 777. I'll be going over this video for some time to come, until I'm confident. Don't need to hunt yt this is the ultimate tutorial for the pmdg 777

Eli is great! Brilliant teacher.

It took me 2 days to watch this but it was worth it! Thank you for creating this incredible learning resource. And beautiful job with that landing!

Thanks for this, both! Super interesting and useful!

Thanks to you and captain Eli for the amazing time. Ton of valuable information 😊

Great video, this will really help me when I get the 777, Thanks!

This is excellent . Thanks for this tutorial !!!

Great video. Learned the basics from other sources but this one filled a LOT of gaps. Outstanding! I love how he's dissing the 737 from time to time :D It's how I feel about it but never dared to express. The Boeing 777 is a plane I actually love coming from Airbus A320/321/340.

love this.. sounds like a wet dream of mine flying with this guy on discord teaching me stuff. :D such a great teacher. great video!

Thank you very much !!! This is the reason why I have to subcribe you, Because you made great great great great great great quality tutorials !!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic video! Keep up the great work on your channel! Hope to see Eli back for some in-depth 777 stuff, non-normal procedures, etc. Thanks!

Fantastic Video tutorial!! Thanks a ton for this! Cheers!

great video and very informative - thank you!

I absolutely love this format. It gets all the information we need while still being fun and lighthearted. In addition, Thanks so much for putting together the checklist. I use the one for the 737 and will be using this one for the 777 as well. I really appreciate your contributions to the flight sim community. Cheers!

absolutely magnificent instructor. well taught well flown. would love to fly with a guy like that real world

Very useful. Very good instructors. Thanks a lot to you guys.

Fantastic! I was on that flight irl 2 months ago

This is the best tutorial I’ve watched yet! This is the kind of tutorials that I prefer to watch because of the real world pilots experience and instruction that he has learned and implemented in the real aircraft! So it was very interesting to see watch and learn about his techniques, tips and tricks that he has learned from flying this airplane!🤓

Th clock will auto run, but you need to elect the option in the Config section of PMDG. There's a few things you mentioned that are actually in PMDG config

Thrughly enjoyed, learned a lot, thank you so much Captain. Thank you so much @FilbertFlies for arranging such a session.

This is just about as good as those paid Airline2Sim tutorials.

Great video FilberFlies and a big THANK YOU to both of you. I have a point for your consideration. In the approach phase (or all of the flight apart from TO and the visual portion of the landing) the focus is on the MCP, PFD and ND i.e. IFR flying. In your video, especially during the RNAV approach phase, half the screen is taken up with clouds! How about closing in on the instruments, maybe with occasional outside views?😯

Fantastic video, thank you!

Thanks to you both. As a retired Boeing guy, I found this very useful. The biggest I flew irl was the 767, but I too find taxiing the bigger aeroplanes in the sim, particularly the Jumbo, to be a more sedate, majestic sort of ritual. 😇

Thanks a bunch for this great video! Eli is an awesome teacher - such attention to detail along with a good dose of humor! Thanks again, Filbert! P.S.: Not a single video (other than this one) explained how to get the ENG parameters on the Upper EICAS (with the switching to the captain's MFD). Just great stuff! 🤗🫡

Outstanding job.

Click spots - OVHD click LANDING and RUNWAY TURNOFF to turn on/off all at once. On the EFB while calculating takeoff and landing you can click the units change them to different once - hpa to inHg, C to F, etc. The CHR button switches auto time compression on and off.
