PMDG 737-700 for MSFS - Tutorial 10: Cruise

Hi all, I'm a PMDG tech team member and real life 737 pilot. Here is my next video in the 737 tutorial series.
In this tutorial we are going to looking at the cruise part of the flight. I apologize for pausing the sim for most of the part, there was really more to explain than time available on this short flight.
The video has been taken using a pre-release beta version of the product, so you can expect to see some issues that will be fixed before release. There's no need to point those out as the team will be aware and working on them already. For example the trim sound is not yet implemented.

These tutorials are not designed as absolute beginner tutorials. It is expected that the viewer already has basic experience with airliners and knows the basics how to operate an aircraft.
Instead these tutorials will focus on the 737NG as an aircraft and the particularities of how to operate it.

I'll be closing this introduction by saying that I'm not a professional YouTuber or Streamer quite yet and these videos are my very first that actually get more than a hundret clicks. I have never before created such content so bear with me for doing beginner mistakes.
I record straight from the sim without any fancy stuff going on in the background.

Tools and addons used in this video:
Nvidia Shadowplay
Windows Movie Maker

My system specs:
RTX3080Ti
32GB RAM
Windows 10 Pro

My hardware:
Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke and Throttle
Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog
Thrustmaster Pendular Pedals

Thank you for all the effort with your tutorials, it is very helpful to get to know the 737 better

Many thank's again, I have seen this kind of so much quality in explainations, hopefully you are here !

Thank you very much for another great video. I have been flying the PMDG 737 since the days of FS2004, and I guess I was doing Ok flying from A to B without problems. But I have leaned something new on every single tutorial you have published. It will definitely change the way I fly the 737 when it comes out for MSFS.
Cheers!

Very useful PLOC consideration there - had never thought of that before. Brilliant work Emi great videos.

Many thanks for your professional approach to the subject. As a professional pilot, you provide so much interesting information and curiosities that are very difficult to find in one place. I've watched every previous video, I'm going to watch the next one, and of course I'm waiting for the 737 from PMDG.

[mancooncrest]

Thanks as usual for the very well done video!

[adrianndir]

Awesome video! Can you make a G/A tutorial after you finished the series with the normal procedures?

[PhilippeBorfiga]

Once again, very informative! Thank you :)

Dear Emanuel, thanks a lot for another great video and the whole channel, I really enjoy the detailed information you share. Please clarify if it is the rule to set transition level 1000 feet higher than stated in the chart. At 11:18 you set 6000 feet, and mentioned transition layer.

[DinkyDoos]

Once again, a very good video, thank you for your efforts.
Im sure that this series will be a massive help when the 737 becomes available

4:00 did you mean to say "its a tailwind" not headwind? travelling westbound and wind coming from east?

[TwentyNailsBike]

If you use the DEV mode pause, no fuel will be used ;)

[joseramonrodriguez]

Do you plan to make a video on how to read navigraph charts? What to look for, what they mean, ...

[Guillaume.]

Great vidéo !! One question about the ILS category, you say that the 737 is a class charly category airplane but is the 737ng able to do a category IIIc landing ? why do you choose the I ILS category and not the II or the III ? Thanks for your answer.

[madsib]

I wonder to what extent the released product will resemble the real world plane. Or to narrow my question a bit more: Which major systems/ functions will NOT be available right from the start? But I'm sure you won't be able to talk about that now 😅

It would be great to simulate during a sandstorm in Dubai/Jeddah/ 🇦🇪, 🇸🇦 etc and landing during a Monsoon in Mumbai 🇮🇳 etc
