PMDG 777 Tutorial - Full Flight | MSFS

A beginner's guide to completing a full flight in the PMDG 777 for MSFS. The model featured is the -300ER.

This tutorial is valid for all variants, as they vary only in weight and size - all systems are identical.

The procedures shown in this video are simplified, to get you flying from A to B quickly and easily - for real world procedures, please consult the PMDG manual or in-game checklist.

The procedures shown in this video are correct for use in the sim at the time of publishing. The product and its procedures may have changed since this video was made.

Startup Tutorial HERE:

Additional tips:
- The parking brake is OFF by default. Holding the regular brakes for two seconds will stop any forward/backwards roll. Then when you apply throttle, the airplane will move normally. The parking brake itself seems buggy right now, so IMO don't use it.
- During descent, if you see DRAG REQUIRED displayed on the FMC, just apply spoilers. Return them to ARMED once the airplane is descending on path - this is signified by a pink dot in the middle of the PFD altitude tape.

Thank you for making these tutorials for us people who don’t wanna spend hours trying to set up autopilot.

[SuprStyleHD]

You Are Highly underrated. You have very useful tips, no BS, straight to the point no super long intros and your voice is actually soothing. thank you for your tutorials i have bee able to fly the 737 and 777 better because of you. kuddos !

[ZixPlays]

Just completed my first fully automated flight apart from 500ft manual landing. Man I cant thank you enough. The joy was unreal. Thank you once again.

[OldMateAviation]

These tutorials are amazing! One of the only YouTubers I can find for casual players who don’t have the time to study the full aircraft systems and use simbrief and things! Can’t wait for the FBW A380 tutorial when it releases!!

[anuragsahoo]

Your tutorials, be it of a320 or 777, are the simplest and precise tutorials on Youtube. Many Many Thanks TiJayFly. Lots of love.

[gene]

Thanks a lot for this TiJay. I can finally fly this big boy under 10 minutes just like the default A320. Even made my own checklist on how you did it from cold start to full flight.😁

Thank you - just what I was looking for. A basic, but complete flight that I was able to follow and understand. Now I can go back and fine tune specific areas, but this was very helpful. FYI for others, I came in too high and too fast the first few times. I wound up manually getting the speed and altitude down prior to the turn for the final approach. Once I did that it nailed the LOC and G/S. But if you're too fast or too high you will likely miss the G/S and fly right over the airport. But use that as practice - put the plane in HDG mode and just fly back around and try the approach again, but at 2400ft. I learned a lot about controlling the plane just by doing that. Then I basically re-did the whole flight with approach alt and speed in mind and it went much smoother. Thanks again!

[drewtownes]

Thank you for another splendid easy to follow tutorial. Can't wait to get her in the air!

[JoshuaLescarretSailing]

Thanks for this tutorial ! Unfortunatly I'll have to wait to get it on the marketplace but looking forward to try it

[willroberts]

How do you remove constraints? For example I’m flying a SID and it’s 5000 and that’s what’s in my fmc and atc tells me to climb to FL180 how do I override the fmc is there as easy way? Cheers

[TonyChenMusicOfficial]

I am having difficulties in making ILS approach, most of the time the plane doesn't recognize the glide slope, so I have to visually land it. There was only once I caught the glide slope, that was after I clicked "loc" button, and the glide slope appeared. And the flight I just did, when I clicked "loc", the glide slope still didn't appear. So I am wondering where I did it wrong. I also checked the website you mentioned here, but somehow if I type in the info from the site, the plane would say ILS error. Can you help me explain how I can detect the final glide slope and do a proper approach? Thanks.

[theteadrinker]

is there any way to buy you a coffee or something? Pretty sure your videos are the only reason MSFS became accessible for me!

[Der_Pixel_bre]

I love such Tutorials, Short and understandable, and could you maybe do a full flight tutorial for the lvfr airbus a330?
Like a full flight like this, because I don’t understand the auto land and the autopilot in general on these planes.

[drewtownes]

Unfortunately I'm not in the air yet. The sim CTD every time I try to launch a flight. I contacted support and they said my graphics card is too low. It runs the 737 just fine. Not sure what to do.

[yongchun]

Did my first flight using B773ER but I had a problem here after i touchdown at airport while taxiing to the gate the flaps wont raise up to the normal position & while descending for landing the flaps dont seem to retract at all for landing purpose what could be the problem here?😅

[sawyermccall]

So I run into this issue sometimes where I simply run out of places to put in my waypoints when planning my route in the FMC, and it just stops giving me an open space to put my waypoints. Im really new to route planning and using approaches and sids and routes and stuff. Thanks for the awesome simple tutorials.

[Sandmanispro]

Ok, so I said that the throttle has issues. Now that is not an issue anymore, but the game crashes during mid flight when I use the plane. Also the plane never reaches cruising altitude, I really hope I didn’t waste $75 on this

[speedygunzalez]

whenever i get to top of descent, i have to press the altitude dial for it to work, but then the plane just ends up gliding over the runway on final. any way to fix this? everything else works as shown

[leonolink]

Hey! i have a little problem, when i reach my bottom of descent i am always very above the glideslope, i put the intercept altitude for it but when i reach it i'm just high. I actually get to the altitude just appears that the FMC is not giving it right but i'm pretty sure the problem is on me hahaha.
