paulb Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Today's flight is from London to Amsterdam (P3Dv4). I am still learning the FMC. I managed the fuel, payload and flightplan with waypoints, but then I got lost. So I flew manually. Parked up at EGKK London Gatwick I must get some AI traffic Ready on runway 08R Take off Leaving Gatwick behind Heading east Soon we approach the English Channel The coastline of Holland comes into view A quick shot from Schipol tower Landing at EHAM Amsterdam Schipol Taxi to the terminal Ready to park up I hope that you enjoyed our short flight.

Stillwater Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 That is the highest level you can achieve, paul: Doing an entire flight MANUALLY! Congrats. You´ll manage the computers soon, I am sure. And Ultimate Traffic Live will end on your HDD as well, I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boetie Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Sorry Paul, I never realised that aircraft could actually fly! I just assumed its model name was "grounded". Well done on completing a Channel crossing. Cheers Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still learning and it is really like a sim within a sim! Lots to learn, but it is very realistic and I am enjoying the experience . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know P3D, but I think from the cockpit layout that this is the PMDG-version of the B738, right? Did you use the PMDG Tutorial Flight 1...? (I think you did). This tutorial is part of the PMDG distribution. (B.t.w. Second tutorial is from EHAM to LOWI) In this tutorial this flight is described in detail, including FMC, AP and even autoland. In my opinion it is a very good tutorial. But flying manually is also quit a challenge. Cheers Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it is a very good tutorial. I normally fly a variety of different aircraft. My usual routine is to set fuel, payload, flight plan, flaps and trim etc and then just fly manually. Most of my flights are short distance in small GA, so I rarely use the autopilot and ILS. For this flight everything went well on set up and then I seemed to get lost with my FMC. So I just decided to fly manually! It all went well so I was happy! I have only had this 737 a few days, so I expect that after a couple of weeks I will be able to master it .
