I agree, I love this feature and should be standard in planes like Boeing and Airbus. Comes in handy especially when doing medium to long haul flights. 

I've never really tested the jump ahead feature extensively in the QW787, but does it work reasonably well when you jump/skip ahead like that? I'm afraid it might throw the plane off course or make the plane instable when using fast forward type of time features like this. I'm afraid it will mess up my flight.

yes i've tried it a few times and it works like a charm.. the plane oscillates and regains altitude for the first few seconds after reload, but after that it settles down.. it also deducts the fuel and adjusts the time/elapsed time etc accordingly.. this feature is a must have for a 787 or A350.. only way to do an ultra long 14 hr flight ! 

Having both, i will giv emy humble opinion:

A330: a nice aircraft, lots of candy-eye, a bit GPU intensive, but if you have good specs you will enjoy the wingflex. Really like the "vague" feel of the FBW, really demands concentration, and focusing on the visuals. It flies well, but unless you're using it from coast to coast/ short range asian flights it's kinda... slow.

787: Best value for money, we know that. It flies well, has tons of content (liveries) available, very enjoyable to fly, neat performance (good fps even on a potato). Has a few bugs here and there, no big deal. What I really like is the sharpness of the controls. You really enjoy turning off the autopilot (which could autoland perfectly fine BTW) and also the aerodynamics are so good you have to use a lot of spoilers and drop the gear very early. It comes with "3" variants (-8,-9,-10) all with both RR trent 1000 and GEnx and what I think was the first EFB (in the latest update they added features but I didn't get that one yet). It can display charts, calculate speeds, and is an overall more "utilitarian" aircraft, still with good looks, and modern amenities (trueglass, reallight). Get immersion for it though, as you'll definitely appreciate it on rainy approaches.

IMO the A330 is a good addon, but aircraft-performance wise it's a bit restricted to crossing the pond, and shorter routes (seoul to Tokyo or similar range). You can feel the progress in the 787, and it is a lot more capable IMO, (on veery long routes it really flies well, like on the EGLL-YPPH). You'll enjoy the nimble handling a lot more; and the system depth is perhaps a bit better than the A330 (RAT, fire extinguishers are functional) The EFB of the A330 wishes

Then it comes to personal preference. Maybe get both at some point? The A330 isn't very pricey, yet it has a lot less bugs than Aerosoft's A320s and feels better quality. The 787 will make you happy, and your wallet won't cry as much as with an FSL or PMDG offering, despite offering very competitive pricings and very good content as well. It comes to prove that cheap sometimes doesn't mean bad, and some high-end developers should keep an eye on these very competitive, growing quality making developpers.
