MSFS 787 Help/Question

Featured Replies

I really want to fly the 787 in MSFS.  I have the premium version.  I see I have the 787-10.  I also see I downloaded the Heavy Division 1.15 update version.

I am not sure if it installed properly.  In my plane menu in MSFS, I have only a 787-10 available.  In the 787 CDU under Ident Page, OP Program says - HD-PROD-1-15-STA.  There is a HEAVY button in the CDU - so I think the update went thru?? correct??

I also notice I have many issues with the 787.  The FWD EXT Power is indicating AVAIL, yet when I i hit the buttons, nothing happens (BAT is ON), the AT ON/OFF buttons are inoperable and I have no autothrottle.  LNAV doesn't work, nether does HDG select work.  I can't start the engines when away from the ate as I am disconnected to external power and APU is not picking up the load.  I can't push back from the gate as my engines are running.

Question for the Forum:  Pease help - I searched long on the forums to solve this with no answers.  

1. Do I indeed have the HD update?  Can I delete the update if it corrupted by default 787??

2. did it get messed up?

3.  when I go to their website it says 2.0 is no longer supported - why do I do now?

I see KURO has a 787-8. It that good?  which is better? 787-10 with HD update or Kuro.?

Thank you

Great advice - thanks - you guys sure know your stuff !!!

 

OK seems like I have to remove the Heavy Sim Mod - dumb question, how do I do that? I found the XD787 folder in my community folder and just moved it to a different location.  That seems to work now as all previous functions now work.  Was my folder move the right solution - I never un-installed anything.

That’s the correct procedure, just move/delete XD787 folder and you are done.

Heavy Division did a good job until Working Title did their magic.  Now the HD mod is not needed and will not be needed ever again in the future. It should be completely deleted.  

The B787-8 is very good and is compatible with the -10.  I believe it is allowed to use the same B787-10 systems developed by Working Title, which are excellent.

I only used to fly PMDG planes, but this 787 really impressed me and I am flying it. I want to add some liveries from Marketplace.  I see so many.  Which one is the best for United, AA and other US carriers?

I disagree, I think HD are working on a VSD and other functions missing from the efb and the 78x generally so I wouldn’t write them off yet. The 78x mod seems to have been temporarily paused until the stand alone 789H catches up.

OK.  I never knew that.  Is the current HD mod still compatible?

No.

Even the HD team says so: https://hdsimulations.com/downloads/

I have been flying the 788-10 a lot and have the plane down pretty good.   I run into one nagging problem.   Some flights go off without a hitch, others have the elevators freeze up.  I can’t trim the plane either and despite on pulling or pushing on the yoke, I can’t move the elevators.  I see the flight control indicators showing me no movement to support this.  Airelons work fine, so it is not my yoke.  Elevators are not assigned to any other controller.   The elevator axis simply falls asleep and I crash an I am stuck ina decent or climb.  Any advice?

@paulyg123, are you having issues w/ LNAV?  Also, my speed, HDG, and V/S windows are blank.

I have no issues with default MSFS 787 other than sometimes the elevator axis stops working.

Haven’t tried the 787 yet but I do know the 747 has light switches that do not turn on. (No mods). I’ll check the 78 today.
