PMDG 737-700 for MSFS - Failures: Manual Reversion

Описание: Hi all, I'm a PMDG tech team member and real life 737 pilot and today I've created this video to show you some of the abilities of the PMDG 737-700 for MSFS. It is intended as first in a whole series to follow where I'll be showing some non normal operation of the airplane.
In todays video we will look at manual reversion, aka failure of hydraulic systems A and B. What is it like to fly the airplane without hydraulics? Which impact does it have on aircraft performance, what steps does the checklist guide us through? How do you do alternate flap and gear extension? How does a professional pilot handle the QRH during such a failure?
The Boeing 737 is one of the few airliners flying to date that still has a mechanical connection between the control surfaces and the control column. During normal operations the control cables go right into the aileron (through the aileron feel and centering unit) and elevator Power Control Units (PCUs). However with loss of hydraulic system A and B the ailerons and elevators can be mechanically positioned by control wheel movement.
Let's see what's going on when this happens.
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. One example is the missing trim sounds which are still to be added.

This series of videos is not intended as tutorials, even though I occasionally do some explaning when I think it is worth it, but they are intended as a demonstration of the capabilities of the PMDG 737-700 for Microsoft Flight Simulator and what it can look like when being flown by a professional pilot.

I'll be closing this introduction by saying that I'm not a professional YouTuber or Streamer 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.
Infact for this very video I had to learn how to even cut two videos together as I had to leave my computer right in the middle of the approach and forgot to press pause. Reminder for everyone: Do press the pause button (NOT ACTIVE PAUSE!) if you need to leave for a while and the AP is not engaged!
