Boeing 787-9 Released at .org

Recommended Posts

 
The Magknight 787: Aviator’s Edition is the next evolution of our popular 787-9. The 787-9 is a long-haul, mid-size widebody twinjet, and the first airliner to be built primarily from composites. Since the first delivery of a 787-9 in July 2014 over 390 airframes have been delivered. The 787 is flown on routes from one hour in length all the way to the marathon 19-hour flights from Perth to London. Which will you choose?
Customers who purchased the initial version of the Magknight 787-9 at simcatalog or the X-Plane.org store can upgrade to Aviator’s Edition for $10. You can find the upgrade code on your original invoice (X-Plane.org) or email sales@x-plane.org to get it.

I bought this several months ago, but have not installed it yet.  I'll get the update and install it later and let you know what I think.

Needs some better VC textures for sure! Great to see more aircraft options available for XPL11.

So far it seems pretty good overall.

I had a problem last night where the right engine switch got stuck on "Start" and the engine would not turn past around 35 N2.   I had to restart the sim.  I'll try it again today.
