July 9, 200718 yr Man is that slick looking! One of the payware companies should model a 787 for FSX. It would be quite a seller if it was done right.Lee Lee H i9 13900KF 64GB Ram 24GB RTX 4090
July 9, 200718 yr Whoa. Talking about "glass cockpit" - very nice!All Airbus vs. Boeing animosities aside, but the Dreamliner is a nice bird, inside and out.Pat

July 9, 200718 yr Dear Level-D, PMDG, Flight1* etc.:How soon can we get a true-to-life version of the Dreamliner? I want I want I want!!! :-jumpyP.S.: PMDG, if you're the ones to do it, I'll even be willing to forgive the dollars-to-euros price switch. ;-) *(or at least whoever did the ATR72-500 for Flight1) James David Walley Ryzen 7 7700X, 32 GB, RTX 3080
July 9, 200718 yr Be a long time before anyone makes a 787 for MSFS. These developers need to have access to AOMs and other documents, plus pilots who are willing to beta test the product. - Chris Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX | Intel Core i9 13900KF | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB | 64GB DDR5 SDRAM | Corsair H100i Elite 240mm Liquid Cooling | 1TB & 2TB Samsung Gen 4 SSD | 1000 Watt Gold PSU | Windows 11 Pro | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Thrustmaster TCA Captain X Airbus | Asus ROG 38" 4k IPS Monitor (PG38UQ) Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard | Intel i7 4790k CPU | MSI GTX 970 4 GB video card | Corsair DDR3 2133 32GB SDRAM | Corsair H50 water cooler | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (2) | EVGA 1000 watt PSU - Retired
July 10, 200718 yr .. a bit updated version:http://img460.imageshack.us/img460/3462/787cock2ka9.jpgMichael J. Michael J.
July 10, 200718 yr The newer "updated" pic looks better IMO. The first one looked like an Eclipse 500 cockpit or similar glass style you see with smaller aircraft. At least this pic represents what I'd think a new Boeing cockpit should look like with many similarities despite the ergonomic changes. The more changes will make it harder for pilots to transition to as it concerns certification and company policy, at least I would think it would. I still find the new glass cockpit like these, - Chris Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX | Intel Core i9 13900KF | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB | 64GB DDR5 SDRAM | Corsair H100i Elite 240mm Liquid Cooling | 1TB & 2TB Samsung Gen 4 SSD | 1000 Watt Gold PSU | Windows 11 Pro | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Thrustmaster TCA Captain X Airbus | Asus ROG 38" 4k IPS Monitor (PG38UQ) Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard | Intel i7 4790k CPU | MSI GTX 970 4 GB video card | Corsair DDR3 2133 32GB SDRAM | Corsair H50 water cooler | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (2) | EVGA 1000 watt PSU - Retired
July 11, 200718 yr >The newer "updated" pic looks better IMO. The first one>looked like an Eclipse 500 cockpit or similar glass style you>see with smaller aircraft. I think the first one was clearly "work in progress" on top of being (probably) just a computer rendering. This one happens to be a 'real' cockpit - with sheep skins you can touch ;)I am particularly pleased with the fact that Boeing decided to adopt the same brown-like color tones (I appreciate this 'chocolate'). This 'grey' rendering looked very plain and boring.Michael J. Michael J.
