Beginners guide to SimBrief, OFPs, the FMC, MCP and VNAV in the PMDG Boeing 777 in Flight Simulator

Today we're taking a look at generating an operational flight plan with Simbrief, interpreting the contents of that flight plan, programming elements of it into the FMC by hand, and then going back and using the built-in integration with simbrief to automatically program routes and data into the FMC of the PMDG Boeing 777 in order to give VNAV the most accurate data possible for the autopilot to fly a route for us.

Beyond programming the route, here's the *functional* procedure I typically use when starting the aircraft (which skips a lot of the checks that aren't absolutely necessary):

As I mention several times during the video - everything we talk about in this video is a rabbit hole - leading to further rabbit holes. Each answer brings about further questions.

Hope you enjoy it :)
