- A simple guide for how to take-off, use auto pilot and land using ILS. All done with the default Boeing 737 provided out of the box with Flight Simulator X (FSX)
Even with the rough landing, the soothing voice of the pilot makes everything okay! :) Well done. Got some useful info!
This is a wonderfully concise tutorial - a great refresher for me, returning to FSX after 3 and a half years away! Much appreciated.
Your tutorial just turned on a light switch in my cobwebbed mind and a lot of things became clear. Thanks a lot for a great video.
When I started playing FSX I always almost flee Cessna or a similar aircraft. But your videos have really helped me to take on the big airliners. Thanks, great video.
Great Video. Tried your technique today and it worked great. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this AWESOME video!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome advise, I battled for a while to get the 737 landed until I saw this video. Thanks
I've been playing this game since 2014 and only now I am figuring out ILS and glidescope, thanks!
Thank you so much. It helped me a lot I cannot even imagine how I needed such a well detailed and straightforward video like you did
Great video! 400hrs on FSX and counting.
You could even do a looping, your soothing voice would keep the passengers calm!
Most Helpful Flight Simulator video i found in Internet . I made notes of what he said ,And there was a drastic change in my skills . I am now able to Land well with VOR . Thanks for the vid
Very useful and easy to follow. Great work man.
I know im a little late but thanks so much, it helped me heaps!!
*That landing was really hard, also no reverse thrust*
Ok yes I can agree on the landing being really hard, but do keep in mind that this is just a tutorial on how to actually get from 1 airport to another. If you want to know how to make your landings softer than just watch other tutorials
I concur with Tommy W. A 737 usually makes an final at about 140 kts. A 747 about 160, but you came in at over 180 & with full tanks! Reverse thrust is simple enough to engage by hitting F2. Other than that a fine demo sir.
Hello ... i know, that is a simulator, but why are you landing a fully refueled B738 aircraft with 180 knots, no reverse thrust and autobreaks? The landing was too hard and you brake the plane only with normal brakes. Oh my God ... O.O
Ikr
Great video! If you wanted to slow down more and exit runway sooner you could have engaged the reverse and had set your auto brake to a higher number.
Dude, probably you broke the landing gears 😂
maybe he's a ryanair pilot
Yeah. Amazing video, and so detailed.
The best take off and landing tutorial
You reckon? Nothing is going right for me when I follow his instructions.
@@747fa same my plane keeps going into a dive.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. It made everything very clear!
MrCobolman thanks for the great tutorial video, now i can fly any aircraft and go where ever i want. You really really really helped me a lot. :)
It's a pleasure. Thanks for your kind comment.
Men this is an excellent Video. I ve been helped so much. Great work. Keep it up
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Has helped me no end :)
If you want your computer to be perfect for flight simulator, you have to complete the secret quests of Cod 4. You have to play NFS most wanted. These games will enable precise features of your computer or laptop, they are off by default. For laptops, there is no other option, for pc you may upgrade your parts.
Bro. The runway heading is the Magnetic Heading (North) so the runway heading is the runway number with another added 0. for example.
Runway 08 would be 080 to put in the auto pilot heading indicator and not 079.

Chris
Thank you, very good video, learned a lot from you. So far I haven't pulled off a good ils landing, usually end up in field, lol, so I hope I can get as good as you, someday.
Nice Landing....!
Congratulations, highest rate given from your passenger :)
Excelent video MrCobolman! Thanks for the effort of recording this :D
How did atc know your destination? Where to land. You had not set up your waypoint or anything
Excellent thank you very much
Thank you this helped me use 737 plane.
Good afternoon MrCobolman. I appreciate the way you teach. Much better than most. I have two questions. 1. Would you explain how to deploy reverse thrust and 2. I am not an experienced flyer but, from watching other videos I would like to comment on your opinion of ATC withdrawing help if you ignore them. In this situation I believe they would assume that something has failed - probably your radio, or you are tuned to the wrong frequency. In these circumstances they would do everything to contact you and prevent a potential collision.
F2 then throttle up to idle
Good job! Only problem was at times you whispered and could not hear you.
Hi. Thanks for the great video. Does the GPS / localizer button on the 737's auto pilot work the same as on the A321? It's just not mentioned in this video.
Good morning MrCobolman, greetings from Orlando, FL. very good video. If possible you can make a tutorial video for the FSX default Bombardier CRJ700.
Thank you!!!!
Hi Orlando
Thanks for the kind comment.
Interesting request. I don't recall having flown the CRJ700 - I'll take a look.
Butter
Bens gaming! Not😂
MrCobolman, first really great video. Thanks. I'm new to flight sim and when I disable autopilot on landing, the nose of my plan shoots straight in the air and ruins my lands. Can you advise me on how to avoid this? Thanks.
yeah, me too. disengage a/p the nose rises hard. ruiningmy landing
Because the elevator trim is set way to high by the autopilot
You were going a little fast on short final. Other from that great video!
I sure was. Thanks!
What about the GPS/NAV toggle? Should it not be on GPS then when approaching switch to NAV? Also, the NAV button should be on at the radio???
followed step by step but the airplane just starts flying in circles, any idea what may be happening?
Silly question but how did you make the graphics look good?
Harry Hamilton samr
turn the graphics up
lol yea
Have you noticed that the FSX stock aircraft wheels don't seem to rotate when you are moving?
Robert Langford Indeed. Saving on work and frame rates, I guess.
what happened to reverse thrust I did not see it deploy and if it's a small runway you need reverse thrust
Aparently he isn't doing a great job flying, he also landed very hard.
Thanks for the video, very good!
Are there no VNAV/LNAV AP modes for this 737 model?
Whats the software you use to move around the cabin
Dude, u needed your airspeed around 130-140 knots
In my version the ILS shows no DME. Why it that? FSXmap.com also says: no DME in the ILS.
When did you turn to heading 91 for final approach why did you do. What is the indicator
how do you get your cockpit view is it in 2D or 3D also how do you keep the landing view as you do, can you help me get that same view.
Nice video.
If I may add a couple of helpers....your approach and landing speeds were far too high. You would be looking more at the 125 to 135 range as an approach speed with suitable flaps. The fast approach speed was why you had such a high rate of descent at touch down which then caused a 'firm' arrival.
The default FSX checklists aren't great, but I think they do have some pointers on suitable speeds (not 100% though).
The PMDG 737 actually makes it easier because you can get the decision, rotate, climb, cruise, approach and landing speeds, adjusted for weight and temp from the FMS.
Hope that helps :-)
I really appreciate the advice - thanks! I'll going to give it a try later on. I think you mentioned on your channel that you flew commercial for a while after your military days. What aircraft did you fly then?
MrCobolman I held a commercial licence with instrument and multi engine ratings. I was part way through training as a flying instructor when I lost my medical. Whilst I had achieved my frozen ATPL licences ready to fly airliners, I never unfortunately flew them for real. I have since done some work with a professional flight sim organisation and have 'played' around with CRJ200, 737 and 747.
Nice effort..However, landing speed was too high..You should decrease speed to around 140-150 knots depending your weight and always use reverse thrust once touch down. Using only full flaps way before landing won't be enough for any runway. Try it again and you ll see huge difference.
Hi, great video, i learned a lot even tho i been using this sim for past few weeks, i was following and understanding every explanation you were giving but i got lost when you inserted the number "089" on heading, where did you get that number from?
That’s the heading of the runway he took off from
Ryan air Landing but i like your tutorial ty :)
You landed in 170 knots... how much fuel did you have? Normal landing speed is 120-140 knots depending on weather and weight.....
how did you manage to get a full screen use on fsx as my game just shows a small to medium sized box so that I cant see the whole of my instrument panel and have to keep moving around to get to different dials etc also where do you get fs recorder from and how much
By pressing what key that foot pedals can be used??
Neel parnar num 0 and num enter
Ahhh. Is this for beginners? Loading a flight you have already done? Settings? No wonder both the tower replies and commands are different ( FSX? Acceleration?) and my flights are not working properly. Missing information. CRUCIAL.
01:46 - How did you manage to make your virtual cockpit zoomed out that far? Mine is always zoomed into close?
Hold space bar and use your mouse scroll 😉
Can you please tell me how you get the full view of the cockpit. I only get the 2d view. Thanks.
Right click on the screen > cockpit >Virtual Cockpit
This is what we call CFIT - controlled flight into terrain. Lots of mistakes here, too much flap setting at take off, landing speed too high. You would also manually fly the take off (including throttle) and then engage the various autopilot controls. Granted this will work but it’s not authentic.
Please help! I have watched this multiple times and can’t figure out why my altitude/glide slope doesn’t work! I end up lining up with the runway perfectly but it maintains the altitude that my autopilot is set on and it flys straight over the runway. I activated the approach switch as well. Any help would be appreciated!
You have to catch the glide slope from underneath it. When you see the glide slope indicator, and are lined up, then hit the approach button.
when the indicator drops to the horizon line it will automatically shut off the altitude hold .
I'm not trying to be mean but does anyone else think that the landing would have given the passengers whiplash? He was coming in at 180 knots not 140 knots .
Dear from any information i can get number of the course
In the real world my friend you never set the course heading while on the ground at your departure airport it done 9 miles out on approach to your destination airport
180knots?
AT WHAT HEIGHT DO YOU TURN OFF AUTOPILOT? WHEN I TURN OFF A/P THE NOSE RISES UP HIGH
Also be ready to apply forward pressure on the yoke or flight stick, to counter the tendency of the nose to rise after you disengage the auto pilot.
How do you figure flaps 25 on takeoff? No expert here but that seems way to much.
Ryan Fosburgh I think it has to do with the length of the runway. The shorter the runway the more flaps you need to select. On any long runway, I always select 5 degrees flaps set n1 to 91 and rotate at approximately 139 knots.
Looking closely... Hes missing something... Reverse thrust... lucky that he managed to land fine
what is EZ Dock?
How do you turn on the glide slope thing with the pink diamonds?
They come on automatically when the ILS picks up the signal from the airport you're landing at. If you go to around the 5:40 mark in the video, that's where I dial in the frequency for the ILS at Guernsey. Go to the 19:10 mark in the video, and you'll see the ILS and DME light up at about the same time as the morse code starts transmitting. This is when the NAV radio picks up the signal from Guernsey and that's when the pink diamonds light up.
Thanks. I figured that out after I did a flight myself.
great video but u were talking too quietly
hello,I have a question.If we brake does the knot decrease?
*speed
Mid-air, no, on the ground, yes.
omg that was a hard landing
No subtitles ???
You landed without reverse thrusts.
Late flaps, no reverse thrust, no auto brakes, landing at 180knots !!! if this was in real life then we would say RIP bro
Ryan air
no reverse thrust, no auto breaks. God help the passengers
Flaps should be at 5 not 25
you're wrong, at the landing flaps should be full extended
I think he's referring to take off, which should not be at F25.
That was almost a Crash, too high, too fast and Off centerline 😂
ryanair landing
So hard
flaps 25 to take off????? 5 o 10 to much. Speed limit in B737 flaps 15 is 195 IAS. Read the manual user. And HARD landing hahaha, good try
"seems to have worked quite well". ahah you were too high, too far left, way too heavy, too fast and flared way too late 😂
