The Salty Simulations 747 and the Heavy Division 787 mods are two of the best. 

The 787 has flawless simbrief integration - something that PMDG seems to be mightily struggling with.

Hi Michael.

This link will give you the improved 747. It modifies the default aircraft in the sim.

Try this:

Manual Installation

If you do not wish to use the installer, manual installation is possible by copying the salty-747 folder from one of the below links to your community folder.

Stable: https://github.com/saltysimulations/salty-747/releases

Development: https://github.com/saltysimulations/salty-747/releases/download/vdev/salty-747-dev.zip

Why not use the FBW Installer to install and update the Salty 747 Mod? Saves user the trouble of manually installing.

Is it just me or was he lining up in the wrong direction?

From what I heard, aircraft were instructed to line up and wait on 33. He took off on 7L.

Wow , great video , i installed it via FBW installer. 

The 787 mod is only a zip of 2mb?

Any fps friendly 4k liveries for SU10? 

Btw. Great option to drive out to the plane. How is that?

Thanks Michael Moe

To be fair, and RSR's tendency to blame the sim (at times) aside, the reason simbrief/etc integration is not seamless in the PMDG 737 is because its codebase uses the WASM framework (due to their aircraft code being written in C++ rather than javascript/html which is the "native" programming language/framework for MSFS).  And currently MS/Asobo haven't added network/web connectivity to WASM. One could ask so why not PMDG just re-write their 737 from the ground up in the native framework for MSFS, but that's another matter and obviously a lot more effort/time would be needed for that. Default aircraft and new ones like the Fenix obviously had to be developed from scratch so the native framework is the best choice which comes with network connectivity already.

Note that iniBuilds are also in the same boat as PMDG with their A310 when it comes to simbrief/navigraph connectivity, see: https://discord.com/channels/535246634448191499/784467650612822016/1028267219379040306
"@kirai / others who were querying SB / Navigraph.
On initial launch most likely both will not be in our EFB. Our EFB is in HTML and systems in WASM - especially our FMS.
Some networking functions are coming to allow us to add these in. 
The JF146 can have SB especially as FMC is not sitting in WASM as far as we can tell, and we need to allow both EFB and FMC to talk to each other. 
So albeit, on initial launch these will not be in you can be rest assured they will be promptly added when we can. Top prio on investigations list."

At least from what the iniBuilds CEO says above, MS/Asobo is adding network connectivity support in WASM soon, so PMDG I'm assuming will also enable seamless integration then.
 

Do these mods change the flight physics of these aircraft? the last time I flew the 747 almost 2 years ago if flew like it was a light G.A. aircraft.

I believe they do.

I now recalkl having installed the Slaty 748-i mod, and had forgoitten about it. I did run some tests and they surely changed various areas of the flightsim CFG files.
