OK - all you spoiled kids that sit here whining about this default aircraft being **** are not allowed to see the end of the movie. It's straight to bed and no good night story for you!

All I wanted was for it to follow the localizer.  I.m not looking for advanced functions just basic function like VOR tracking or ILS tracking.  This is the second (First was from some 737 pilot on youtube)  who ended up way left of the runway.  What good is advanced weather coming down on the localizer and your to the left when you break out.

I understand its default and only expect basic functionality but it cant even do that.

Looks fantastic. Although Im really not a fan off that distorted zoomed-out view. Kinda gives the heavy jet a sports car sort of vibe with all the cockpit frame and panel warped like that, fisheye style. I understand he wants to keep the center screen in view but Id prefer to assign a hotkey to turn head towards it (like XP11 does).

He was left of the runway because in the airplane he was flying, he needed APP and NAV to be on to track the localizer and glide slope at the same time. Was not a bug. The localizer was clearly down the runway, but he didn’t set his AP up to track it.

It wasn’t lacking basic functionality. He was flying an airplane that he didn’t know much about.

After watching the entire video...

Love the exterior graphics but the number of bugs in that aircraft are a worry. How many people beta-tested this?

None. Unless it was internal testing.

No one for from the alpha/beta testing. It was all done internally.  We never got the 787.

I have no idea. But you could move around with the given controls and see how it behaves. If you had access. Maybe someone will do it.

I don’t use TrackIR myself, but those in the test forums who have experience with it in other sims seem to agree that the implementation in MSFS is very good indeed.

My God, could you guys kindly put a sock into this constant moaning, groaning,whining, complaining, nitpicking, etc. 

If you bought it and you're already unhappy with the thing, then just cancel your preorder. No harm no foul. 

The average age of avsim users probably hovers around 60. But you guys are behaving like 2 year olds in the middle of a temper tantrum.

Maybe not now, but basic functionalities sure will be fixed. And for start, everybody should wait to MSFS release, before will judge it... Nobody have tested the final release version yet!

Unfortunately some things are a bit rushed.

WOW....Tough Crowd.😬

Visually the aircraft looks FANTASTIC, inside and out. Systems seem good enough to have some fun and considering this is a DEFAULT aircraft...I am impressed. I am gonna land this bird at BIIS in Iceland.🤣

My Grandfather had a saying...."Some folks aren't happy unless they find something to be unhappy about."

Well to be fair, I don't really want to buy a toy aeroplane and then have my computer fly it. Nothing that a little sideslip couldn't sort out.

On the plus side, if Harrison Ford uses it, that should mean he'll be on the centreline.
