787 woes

[nyfirefly11 55]

I've been trying the 787 and seeing a few issues...curious if others have seen the same/have any suggestions.

On a flight from KJFK to EGLL...

1. I choose gate 1002-heavy, and it parked me facing away from the terminal (this may be JFK and not the 787).

2. Somehow, it automatically requested pushback after a few min of me in the cockpit - I restarted a few times, and it kept happening. Co-pilot would call a request pushback (even though I didn't actually prompt it to do so).

3. On this flight, when selecting "plan" on the MFD and cycling through the route, it wouldn't move/show me the whole route on screen.

4. It could be my piloting skills, but turning the plane while taxiing is very difficult - full right/left rudder sometimes just doesn't work.

5. Again, could be my piloting skills, but on takeoff, at around 140kt, with calm headwinds and ailerons neutral, the plane wants to pitch to the left (as well as yaw). Do I need right ailerons along with right rudder?

Thanks!

The 787 is extremely broken right now. Patch 2 actually made it worse. I’d suggest flying something else until at least the next patch, hot fix, whatever.

It is still a mess

IMHO the only airliner worth using right now is the a320neo with FBW mod (developer version). 
 

Ive heard promising things about the salty mod for the 747 but not yet looked  into it.
