Alot of times we get newbies on here and on youtube asking "how do you use this aircraft?" or how do I program the FMC?" Well I decided to put together a video tutorial on how to operate the PMDG 747. Now before all of the pro simmers out there began posting in this thread syaing "holy cow dude! You did this wrong!" or "you did that wrong!" Keep in mind that I am still learning this aircraft as well. Hopefully in the next few months I can purchase the AoA 747 training DVD to better understand the systems and functions of this aircraft. This tutorial is geared towards those who have trouble understanding the manual, are to darn lazy to read it in the first place lol and those who learn better by viewing videos.

Here are a couple of screencaps from the actual tutorial. And the links are at the bottom of this page and yes, there are rapidshare links.




*****CONTENTS OF THE READ ME FILE*****

Thank you for downloading this tutorial. The purpose of this tutorial is show newbies and people who choose not to read the manual how to power up the systems, program the FMC, setup for take off, descend and land at the destination airport. The following airport scenery addon was used in this tutorial:

You may notice that the audio will fall behind from the video slightly. This is not a problem and you should still be able to follow along with the tutorial.

This tutorial is in NO WAY demonstrating the procedures used by actual 747 pilots. I, myself am still learning this aircraft and have chosen to pass on some of my knowledge to get you guys up in the air and to land safely at the airport. If you want to learn more about the aircraft and its systems, different approaches and all that, visit www.flyaoamedia.com and purchase their PMDG 747 Training DVD.

Thank you and good luck,
