September 1, 200520 yr Boeing released a photo of the 787 flight deck. Can't see alot, but from what you can see, it looks very cool. http://www.boeing.com/news/releases/2005/p...pr_050831g.html
September 1, 200520 yr But does it have a VC? ;-)MarkMark "Dark Moment" BeaumontVP Fleet, DC-3 AirwaysTeam Member, MAAM-SIM[a href=http://www.swiremariners.com/cathayhk.html" target="_blank]http://www.paxship.com/maamlogo2.jpg[/a] _________________________ Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumont VP Fleet, DC-3 Airways Team Member, MAAM-SIM
September 1, 200520 yr Don't know about the VC, but I do know it for sure doesn't have any of those stink'n 2-D cockpits! ;-)
September 1, 200520 yr Well if one came out I don't think I would buy it. I love the look of the plane, and I love to fly one - wouldn't we all - but it wouldn't exactly be accurate, since they couldn't have any real world pilots to help create the model.
September 1, 200520 yr Did you se the font they used on the MFD? It's all wrong! Why can't these developers get these things right? I've been to an airport before and know a guy that drives a long-haul truck up to Oregon, which is only one state away from Washington where Boeing builds planes so I should know.Tony=http://www.flightsim-bevs.com]
September 1, 200520 yr How long?PMDG has in the plans to announce it in 2008 (with completion in 2009). By that time there will be enough pilots rated in this aircraft and enough 787s flying to make it a reality.Michael J.WinXP-Home SP2,AMD64 3500+,Abit AV8,Radeon X800Pro,36GB Raptor,1GB PC3200,Audigy 2http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/747400.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_beta_member.jpg Michael J.
September 1, 200520 yr Yeah, but before that we will see a crap from Abacus, Wilco or Perfect Flight, stating "as real as it gets", and build the panel taking "ideas" from that image!Anyone wanna bet? One year before first deliver!CheersMiguel

September 2, 200520 yr I like everything I've seen of the 787 except the wings - can't get used to the projected extreme flex - yet.regards,MarkXPHomeSP2/FS9.1/3.2HT/1GIG/X700pro256 Regards, Mark
September 2, 200520 yr Won't matter if there is no wing-view. :) That could be a new feature. "With our exclusive new "Head in the Cockpit Only" feature, you won't be subjected to the unpleasant view of your wing tip bobbing up and down.Tony=http://www.flightsim-bevs.com]

September 4, 200520 yr Actually someone did (7E7 anyway). Someone uploaded one at flightsim.com. I tried it and it was ok. The cockpit probably wasn't very accurate and I noticed one or two problems with the radio stack, but otherwise it was ok.
