First start of the FREE Horizon Boeing 787-9 from Cold and Dark in Microsoft Flight Simulator

A quick run-through of the functional start-up procedure I wrote some time ago that gets the 787-900 ready for flight. There's a lot more to unpack in the Horizon 787-9 that I'll cover soon :)

Boeing 787s don't use bleed air to start the engines, they use electrical starters. In fact, you could start both engines simultaneously.

[dougalmctavish]

Pretty sure the engine starters are electric, so you aren't using bleed air from APU. That also means both engines can be started together

[thaipotato]

do you need any extra buys? msfs premium edition??

[captlonghaul]

when i start my 787-9 all my panels are black and i cant turn them on

[Banliath]

For take off the mcp speed should be set to V2.
For the transponder you can go straight to TA/RA when pushing back.

[marcoprystupa]

You dont say 787-900 you say 787 dash 9
This hurts a flightsimmers heart

[fredriklambeck]

Starting the engines no need to wait for N2 before fuel control switch is set to RUN. Correct procedure is to set it to RUN as soon as the start switch is set to START you set the fuel control switch to RUN. Then also simulatenous start of both engines ok.

For a bigger plane, the 787 looks a bit easier to fly than the 737. I mean, less complex to get it running.

How can I change cameras without selecting the menu, I want to move it with the keyboard form inside or outside? Thanks

[TheFalconJetDriver]

Is Navigraph supported on this model? 😁🛫

[jonbrighton]

Love your videos but it’s a 787-9 not a -900

[DaisyDaisyFilms]

Where do you put the file once its downloaded?

[markjackson]

Dont you keep auto thrust on when landing in a 787 like an Airbus

[teren]

do anyone know why i´m having problems with the transponder, the lnav and the screens? (problems directly related to the 787 from 4simmers) i don´t know how to eliminate at all that aircraft so that the horizon 787 can work alone, any thoughts?

[captainwealthy]

When flying manually, following no real flight plan, I cannot get the elevator to work once in the air. It's perfectly operational on the ground. The aileron and rudder work perfectly normal once in the air. Baffled with this one!

I can never enter the vref speeds, fms always deletes them as soon as they're entered, assuming a change has been made. The only bug that's been bugging me.

[prodway]

Nice video as ever. Just wondering how do you load fuel? is it through the default weight & page page?

[jay-rus]

I was having some CTD after downloading this. Wasnt even this plane, but CDT while flying the PMDG 737. So I deleted this and the CTDs quit. Tried two times. Same result.

Anyone else have this issue?

Just purchased the Boeing Yoke pack. Do you use your actual flap handle for setting flaps or the buttons on the yoke? I would like to program the flap handle to set certain flap settings (5/20/30) but can't find direction on how to program this. Anyone?
