1. hey...
   can u tell me which game this is ?
   i play flight sim X , but it does not provide as many features as the game u r playing
2. Thanks for your fast reply Jamie. I made some manuel landings after your videos. Yes you are right. Its enough to follow Flight director to catch the GS path. Thanks again. I am waiting for your other helpful videos...
3. Hi Jaime,
   
   First thanks for this very explainatory video. Everything related with B777 FBW is so clear now. I have newly purchased this great addon and I am trying to familirize the FBW.
   
   I am trying to make manuel landing with AP off but A/T on. So I am trying to use only trim operation to follow GS line. COuld you please share us with a manuel landing video with these conditions. (A/P off A/T on)
   
   Tjanks again
4. Gracias Jaime, muy bien explicado el FBW. Mucho más claro que algunos textos explicativos que sin embargo a veces lo dejan a uno más confundido. Saludos desde México!
5. You're quite welcome!
6. This is SUCH a great video!
7. Great video ! Can you tell me how is a boeing 777 fly by wire system different from an airbus fly by wire system? I know that in the 777 the pilot can override the FBW and in an airbus it cannot be overridden by the pilot . Are there any more major differences between the 777 and airbus FBW ?
8. Random fact: Each PFC has 3 microprocessors: Intel 80486, Motorola 68040 and AMD 29050.
   The Motorola belongs to a family of processors also used for video-consoles such as the Sega Saturn. The AMD was widely used in laser printers.The Intel was also used in video-gaming.
   
   The PFCs are programmed with 132000 lines of Ada code.
9. Great explanation my friend for the Fly By Wire on the Boeing 777. You seem to know your stuff!
10. +jibeneyto Hi, this is a very good video and I learned so much from this. Do you mind if I use your video as a reference for my video project on Boeing fly by wire system? And maybe I will take a bit of your video or your explanation in this video to compile with mine. Is that alright? Of course I will give you credit for that.

    Hi, Jaime
    Great and awesome, as always the case with you're videos ;)
    
    Two things I noticed. When you disconnected the TAC system though there was quite a lot of symmetry thrust , we didn't see a significant yaw movement to the left.
    Second one is that the elevators while having air flow over them, should not drop completely down even in the presence of a flight control or hydraulic failure. With the elevators we saw in the simulator after 4 ACE failures, the aircraft would have been in a very rapid dive. It is true though in the absence of the airflow, as we see in the videos when pilots do the walk around the elevator is always deflected downward.
    
    If you agree with disclaimers above, then I think we should inform the PMDG staff. Maybe the would fix it in an upcoming SP.
