Glad to hear that! Happy flying!

Loved this tutorial. I'm just starting out with X-Plane and flight swimming and hopefully getting my private pilot license but I'm documenting my journey on my channel and I'm self-teaching. I do have a CFI that will sign me off locally for ground school if I prove to him I'm knowledgeable for everything I need to be and he'll also be my flight instructor for when I get in the plane. So that's cool. The "Discontinuity" help me up in my last video, naturally, a crash stopped me in the first one, so I'm off to a good start. LOL. Thanks for the video and now I should be able to finish my first flight. After a whole week and two failed attempts.

Absolutely the best tutorial on the FMC......Subscribed

I will experiment a bit more to see if I screwed up or if the FMC wasn't operating in a normal predictable way. If you just want to get going though- take-off, above 1500' click LNAV, VNAV, and CMD. Make sure the flight directors and autothrottle switches are on.

@@FlightBrothersFT Well I did my flight. I had to manually enter the final legs. But there were not missed approach legs. AP worked great through climb, cruise & decent. But upon final approach the plane started away from the airport. I could not disengage the cmd or change speed. I had to disconnect AP and fly manually.

Yes finally I found and was shown how to do this manually, and in a speed of a DC3 not Concord speed demonstration. It was also good that after you had typed in your flight path and you begun to check it out that you had some issues that had to be fixed, so you showed us how to fix these errors. But you still had not quite figured out or proceed the final leg where all at a sudden you were back to 5.000 feet for some strange reasons. So you stared to wondering why that was so and you went through all the pages from 1 to 5 , but the pages they were 6 of them, so why didn't you go to that 6th page to see if you couldn't see or find out what was causing that problem, maybe you could have seen it there and deleted on of the point as you did with the first error what you had to deal with? But in general this was very nicely done, and thank you Flight Brother

Yea no kidding

Definitely one of the best tutorials I have seen on the FMS/FMC for sure. I just picked up a KingAir 350 from Airfoillabs and it has a FMS. I imported a FP from LittleNavigraph last night and it came in just fine. But it did not set the ADF for the first NBD waypoint. I would think it should do that? I had to manually program it and the the plane would not go to it which I am sure is on my end, but it just got stuck on the first waypoint and would not advance and I saw now way to advance it to the next waypoint in the plan which was a VOR. So I am a bit confused on how the plan goes from the FMS to actually being used by the aircraft. I am going to build a plan manually tonight and see if that makes a diff since I did not validate the steps with the MDF which might have clued me in. I have watched a lot of FMS videos and not one described my question so I must be missing something very obvious. Anyway, I have some breadcrumbs to follow tonight. Cheers !!

I suspect the issue is what input the autopilot is receiving. I'll see if I can check where that is for you, but basically there should be a switch or knob to go from nav/fms. The FMC does not time radios, as it will find them without them being tuned.

I really like to know what each knob does and how and when to use it, so some decent docs would be nice. One last thing...is there a way to manually advance to the next waypoint in the FMS like you can do in a Garmin? Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. At least now I can narrow my search.

Took me a while after an exhaustive search to find a manual to match the FMS in the King Air, that the version of the FMS in XPlane is a customized one and used in all XPlane aircraft that have a FMS device. So the documentation was readily available from Laminar. So there are about four hours of my life I won't get back. But hey, my company just let me go and gave me a real nice severance so it looks like I am retired now and have oodles of time to spend learning all this stuff. Between this video and the King Air manuals (real one) I downloaded, it's coming together. Thanks again for the reply. I will let you know the final answer, although I am quite sure it's just something stupid on my part. AE

Pretty good job guys. I haven't read all the comments so I apologize if I am repeating what others have said. Yes Id love to see a video on how to implement the FMC into an actual flight. I will be doing some reading SimBrief and the FMC manual Please contact me via e mail or how can I e mail you? I don't use my g mail account. I used 2 computers one to watch and take notes the other was to open x plane 11, the 747 400 and log what you said into the FMC. There were discrepancies in the route/waypoint numbering both written and verbally. I really enjoyed the "mistake" in the route and you show to remove/edit those items that need to be removed. All in all pretty good job.

@FlightBrothersFT

Trying to match our flight plan exactly will depend on which AIRAC cycle of nav data your Xplane has. We have Navigraph chart subscriptions, so our videos tend to reflect whatever was current at the time of recording. Regardless, you can generate your own flight plan in simbrief and enter that. Our airline flight planning tutorial will walk you through those steps. flightbrosft@gmail.com

Which aircraft? MD80, B744, or B738?

Any idea why once I select the runway on the Dep/Apr screen, I can't use the next page? In fact, as soon as I hit any of the line buttons, nothing populates on the screen unless I hit the button for what I am working on.

Your videos are great. One big problem I am having is because I want to, at this stage of my flying use the default x plane atc which requires you to fill out the default flight plan. I find that the X plane default plan conflicts with the Simbrief one that I load into the FMC. Especially in the area auto pilot and navigation. For example, I will file and load my Simbrief plan. The when in the cockpit I will file a second plan using X Plane's default ATC flight planner. I even re-copy the routing legs from the Simbrief plan in the FMC into the X plane default flight planner. After takeoff at about 1000 feet I press the LNAV, VNAV and CMD buttons as indicated in your 747 400 tutorial video. At first there are no issues but when I try to make course changes as per the X Plane AI ATC controller my plane starts going crazy out of control. Even sometimes doing barrel rolls. What am I doing wrong?

@FlightBrothersFT

3 жыл бұрын

Our short response is, we’ve not experienced this. The caveat to that is that we’ve never used XPlane ATC and understand (based on forum surfing) that it’s not “ideal”. If the ATC vectors you, you would need to be in HDG mode not LNAV at that point. A suggestion would be try flying without ATC. See if the results repeat. I’m guessing you’re really using ATC to tell you when to descend. And a 3:1-ish rule helps here. 30k feet, start descending about 90 miles out. 10k, 30 miles etc. The only issue with this method is if you are in mountainous terrain/IMC. This is where having your charts handy, if you use them, will help. Your minimum safe altitudes are listed on there. Sorry for the longer response, but since we don’t know your level of experience, feel free to disregard what you already know, or ask a further question to clarify any additional knowledge gaps. We will do our best to help!

@@FlightBrothersFT actually that response was a great help. I found a way last night that helped a bit. I guess when you recopy the Simbrief route into the X-Plane atc plan you can't use sids and stars. I also found when switching the LNAV on and off as needed helps. But yeah you are right I am using the ATC to vector me in to to the runway at the correct decent rate. Which is sometimes is useless as the X-Plane atc brought me into the side of a mountain last night while on a flight from CYYC to CYVR. Lol I was at 7000 feet and didn't see it until it was too late. I guess in the future I could turn on the landing lights a little early to help light up the area. But anyway thank you so much you've been a great help! Happy flying!

@@tristarRB211 “vector into mountain” is one of the most common things we’ve heard.

It’s great to hear the effort put into these videos is helping the community!

The default Laminar FMS is very quirky and seems to do random stuff everytime I put in a flight plan. One thing you definitely need to be careful of is making changes to existing flight plans. FMS somehow doesnot respond well to any changes once it has calculated your VNAV and LNAV. You pretty much have to exit XPlane and start fresh from a blank Flight plan. If you want to use FMC for Auto pilot than I would suggest moving to Zibo Mod 737. I don't know why Laminar doesn't fix or improve on the current shoddy FMS integration with Auto Pilot.

We have definitely experienced many of those same issues.

First let me say, I love your videos. Very in-depth, a good speed and well produced. I am a computer idiot, and have never flown a real plane. I am however an aviation enthusiast who LOVES flying in the sim. For years, I’ve just been flying the Boeing planes using the default ATC along with the auto pilot altitude hold, vertical speed hold, heading hold, and throttle hold. I decided I really wanted to try the FMS, and despite your video being really on point, I find myself dealing with situations that are not covered in this video and confusing to figure out. This is particularly true of the arrival and departure settings, as well as the vertical NAV set up. Would you be willing to do a video that not only programs the FMC, but then flies it as well? Lastly, if there is any chance you’d be willing to allow me to email you with the specifics of what I’m dealing with, that would be amazing. I live in the middle of nowhere and don’t have friends who sim so I’m “flying in the dark” (lame pun I know). Regardless, keep the tutorials coming! Good stuff guys.

Can you do a video on using saved flight plans? I have one saved into the correct folder but could use help in getting it into the FMC and functioning correctly. Also, how to edit these once in the FMC to correct any errors that might arise.

This is likely due to the AIRAC cycles being different. If you have a subscription service, Navigraph for example, it will keep the nav data in the sim current. The chart cycle is also in Simbrief, so if they both match, you shouldn’t get errors. This is the likely cause.

We’ve flown on VATSIM in multiple aircraft and we’ve found it doesn’t really matter as long as you are comfortable and competent in the airframe itself.

Basically the problem is that after i have applied the toe brake to stop the aircraft, because I need to make a turn or stop short of holding point, the aircraft won't move again after I throttle again.

Welcome to Xplane! The next thing you need to do is understand the functions of the autopilot (lateral, vertical, and throttle) and how to control those (direct MCP input or FMC program). Watch our video on the MCP Mode Control Panel kzread.info/dash/bejne/oa18z6isirnTlrw.html for info on that. For a quicker view, watch the end of our 747 tutorial and you will see a takeoff and engaging the autopilot. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ooqbpLSle8yzmaw.html Basic instructions are this: have both Flight Director switches on and the Auto-throttle switch. At 1000' or higher click LNAV and VNAV then CMD.

How do you input direct

what about v1, vr, v2? where can i setup it or calculate it?

@FlightBrothersFT

3 жыл бұрын

Excellent question. You have reached the greatest limitation of the default FMC. Being made to work with almost any aircraft, it lacks the aircraft specific performance data to do those calculations. You can work around this by using the charts manually or just estimating. Your biggest risks will be on short runways, high altitudes, high gross weights, and hot temperatures. If you have any of those conditions, you should check the performance tables first. Many are available with a quick Google search.

So i just bought this game and after this vid, i know i need to subscribe you and watch more of your vids to be able to fly a plane, but i wonder which button you activated it after take off? I mean the autopilot mod was activated automaticly or you pushed something and the FCM progress started working?

Hi there. We share your frustration, but can explain the reason. The Zibo FMC is a custom programmed replica of the real Boeing FMC. The default Laminar 747 uses a generic Xplane FMC that roughly follows Boeing logic but lacks the model specific performance calculations (this same FMC is in the default MD80, and numerous payware as well). I would suggest checking out the SSG 747-8i if you are interested in having a 747 with a highly realistic FMC (like the Zibo has). We both have the aircraft and find it to work well, and it has ongoing updates which are improving the product (soon a freighter will be released in an upcoming update, and we've had the privilege of flying the beta version).

Not all airports have a SID. I’d verify that your airport does (we use Navigraph for our charts, but free ones, for the US, are available by searching at FAA.gov). If your airport does not have one, then you can simply install the first waypoint along your route of travel, for example a VOR or 5 letter waypoint along your airway, or direct route of travel. We hope this helps! Happy flying.
