Microsoft Flight Simulator | 747 ILS Landing & Approach Tutorial ON XBOX | BEGINNERS GUIDE (747-8i)

When ever i click down on left stick to look at menu ai takes over and messes everything up how do i fix that?

Retired off the 747-400 ten years ago, nice trip down memory lane. If I remember correctly you couldn’t select landing flaps 30 before the gear was down, maybe you can on the 800, but for sure 10 years ago, you’d have never made it to the gate with flaps 30, before someone would have asked if you needed assistance😅

U slam the airline in the ground

How do you do a ILS approach and have the gate option coz mine won't let me

You obviously never flew a 747. Landing gear MUST be down before you can select Flaps 25 or 30.

Remember to neutralize the flaps after you’ve landed..

Too much flare

Guys please help. The white line on my gps in flight, is not alined with my heading. So it doesn't fly on track with the gps. (The white line allines with the purple but not with my heading.) How do i fix this????

How do i remove the white line in the gps

Hi great tutorial, iv not managed to fly this yet as I couldn't get on with the autopilot (I usually fly the 320neo) so I'm going to try the 747 tonight now!

Can I ask I see you had speed brake ON on takeoff, at what point do you take speed brake off? Same time as the gear goes up? Also once you line up the glide slope and lock in the two diamonds does the 747 land itself? Or did you take manual control once the autopilot was turned off?

Thanks again, I hope you see this and can let me know about the speed brake

In my msfs for boeing 747 innboard display is not working how to use nav display ?

Thank you so much but question how do you see the waypoints on your screen? My screen shows nothing other than the plane location and heading

When I reach the approach checkpoint my airplane didn't start to desend altitude and I had to turn autopilot off and do it manually
Why?

Can you tell me how you set up your co pilot that you was referring too who dealt with ATC. Many thanks

awesome video very well explained your my new hero lol any ways one question sorry if it a dumb question or i miss you explaining this some where but how do you know what speed to run the aircraft at when landing like you lowered your speed a few times 160 at the end is there a chart or some where to learn this thanks

My go to (short try out) flight is Manchester to Dublin Int! flight time 15-20 min depending on waypoints

Hi, love this video! Can you show how to get the 787 to fly itself from waypoint to way point, if you set up for an IFR flight? Say from LHR to Paris. After take off, how would I get the plane to actually follow the flight path? thanks!

how do you freely move around like that? I can only looks around from a certain fixed point

That is so cool! Had my first ILS landing tonight. Didn't want to sit for too long with the Helsinki trip but I made a flight plan from Edinburgh to Healthrow - a nice short flight - missed the glide slope on the trip down and had to land manually but I flew back to Edinburgh (new flight plan) and the LOC and glide path clicked in just fine! And a night flight too! I use a PC rather than an x-box but I was able to translate everything. Thanks so much.

I do exactly what you say in the video. I choose ILS aproach before the flight and i see my waypoints in the computer. All good for the first waypoints. Autopilot takes me at 15500 feet with 310 speed, exactly what it says on the computer. The problem starts during the two last waypoints i'm supposed to decend. It says 0 speed 🤔(don't know if that's correct) at 3500 feet and the final one 0 speed 2600 feet. The decend procedure never starts even though i change from 15500 to 3500 feet. This said, i arrive at the airport at 15500 feet overrunning it.

What are you using to move around the cockpit so smoothly and doing the controls are you using a mouse

None of the speeds or altitudes show up in my MCDU from the flight plan at all for some reason. Am I doing something wrong? I selected my routes like you did in the flight plan video and the waypoints show up in the MCDU but none of the speeds or altitudes.

Why does my plane keep going off track dude

This video is still great after a year but I just have one problem I am now flying 777-300ER and when I descend I change my altitude on the plane to 10000 when the plane reaches 10,000 it keeps on going and there is not way to stop it. (will you still answer after one year?)

So this is from the Xbox series x, not PC?

I don’t know if it tells you that that’s the out to do you’re supposed to be at but when I was going across the checkpoint, it said different altitudes for two of them and one of them was before. Do you have to be at the altitude or will auto pilot automatically bring you down when you hit Devon.

Unless I missed it, you never actually showed how to specifically program the ILS into the flight plan on the plane good job showing what speed and altitude which is good but still at square one for actuully programing the ILS runway into the flight plan on plane.

Can you explain how exactly you're moving around the cabin so fluidly? What keyboard / mouse inputs are you using, or is this some other interface like VR?!

wait i dont get it so the ils just randomly pop up?

Great explanation thanks

I wish that occasionally you peek outside, so we know how far you are from the air field

Admit it , you love saying Magenta diamonds 😂😂😂😂😂

I use the in game flight planning and for some reason it never shows the reference speeds nor the cruising altitudes in the FMS

Wow this pisses me off. Been following this video and I can't make the 747 do a damn thing I want it too. Bout threw my controller

Absolutely brilliant video, step by step.. thank you so much

Complete noob at this game never even flown anything and thanks to your video I’ve managed to get a 747 from Liverpool to Malaga and land safely! Only problem I had is when you load in the altitude and speed doesn’t show next to the waypoints on the FMC and part of the route was discontinued. Entered it manually during the flight and it was smooth sailing from there! Thanks for the great vid I’m going to do the A320 next

Hi I've started getting boxes on my route and it messes up the flight plan any idea?? Thanks for all the help

Thanks for the tutorial bro

Great help

Hi all, Am on pc with keyboard and mouse, can anyone tell me how to turn nose gear for steering on 747?

So how do i know when to start the descent to 10,000 feet? How much distance do i need between me and the approach waypoint to descend to 10,000' at 250 knots?

How to get a Boeing 747? I can’t find it!

I am ready to descend into JFK I look at legs and nothing is there 😢😢😢😢😢😢

Can we hit LOC and APP a little before the magenta diamonds line up?

Very helpful! Hardest thing is slowing the bloody thing down.

i need help whenever i make a flight plan with the 747 in the vfr map the magenta lines at the end of the flight are gone what should i do

how do you increase the mouse speed/cursor in X box, seems a bit laggy for me @fishstakes

Thank you, James for all the tutorials! Very simple and easy explained, helps so much for navigating whether its a an A320 or B747. Additionally like your english accent, seems to be somewhere in the north of the UK (scouse?)

Let us know if you landed safely!
