for the Headwind installer see at https://headwindsim.net/installer.html

It should be available also at fs.to but so far I just see liveries there. plus I am using the headwind A330 and the installer anyway, so just installed through that and highly recommend it!

Which is preferred, HW Installer or FS.TO?

I already have the installer for the A330-900 so I just used that.

It feels like the launcher downloads faster than fs.to to me

This is the 787-9. The stock is the -10, and the Kuro is the -8

[Wise87 1,286]

I wonder if the Kuro 787-8 will be updated now.

I like the HW Installer.  Simpler 

[El Diablito 328]

Yeah the installer is the way to go. Click a button and 40 secs later the plane is in the comm folder ready to go.

[JYW 2,989]

It downloaded remarkably quickly from the Headwind installer.   With it being release day and this being highly anticipated, I was ready for losses of connection and very slow speeds, but it downloaded in 2 mins.

[El Diablito 328]

Does the GE version come with the custome engine sounds or do I need to download those from somewhere else? The way some streamers explained that it sounded like a separate file.
