Horizon 787-9 v1.0 released

On the subject of autobrakes, tapping the brakes on the landing roll out the auto brake switch should rotate to the DISARM position not OFF as simulated. 
If any developer is reading this, or if someone could perhaps pass it on ? Cheers

Considering your job flying the real thing Jon, do you find MSFS of any practical value, or is it entertainment only?

Just to add it is great to have your feedback anyway, and the developers will pick up on it. 

I will alert @MattNischan anyway as Working Title developed the default -10 to a very fine degree. 
Not sure if it is working as you state it should be in the -10 (can't test at the moment), or if it is just an oversight in the freeware -9 model.

It’s the same autobrakes behaviour across all variants in the sim.

Briefly , I use MSFS for recency, familiarity and also just for pure pleasure, it’s an extremely powerful tool if used correctly.

It’s the “if used correctly” bit that’s really important. Having aircraft that are quite realistic in some areas but some bits that aren’t, can easily be negative learning if you’re trying to use it for recency etc,  I find anyway.

Absolutely right, yes you have to be careful. 
I try not to fly the simulator version of the aircraft I’m currently flying in the real world too often as you end up with more experience on the simulator version than the real aircraft, and those inaccuracies can then incorrectly be at the forefront of your mind.

For raw data HUD work though I’m finding the new 787 very useful.

Well that's an amazing insight.  I am sure WT and Horizon will derive some satisfaction from that.

For the Autobrake issue, if you have rudder pedals - Tap your toe breaks and then it should allow you to select it without it switching it back. 

Did a new flight last night and the problem no longer existed. Must've been those gremlins again.

If it happens again I'll try tapping the brakes. Cheers.

Do you use AI traffic? If so, try without AI traffic. Too many AI aircraft and their sounds can sometimes lead to a „overflow“ and you suddenly don‘t hear e.g. switches flipping in your cockpit anymore, because the sound isn‘t played anymore due to the „overflow“.

I use FSLTL but that doesn't happen with other planes. It isn't due to the missing ftsim sound pack, is it?

FSUIPC seems to break the sim's built-in limiting of reverse thrust and allows for full takeoff power reverse, which is not correct.

This is an issue with the aircraft, not FSUIPC. However, I have implemented a fix for this that will be available in the next release. A beta version with this fix is currently available in the following post: https://forum.simflight.com/topic/97959-fsuipc7-thrust-reverser-breaks-built-in-msfs-sim-limitation/?do=findComment&comment=589697

John,

Our observation is that no matter what value we send to the sim via normal means (throttle key events, throttle position simvars), the sim respects the lower throttle boundary, and indeed looking at the sim source there is code in place that does not allow for the throttle to be set lower than this. I can't really explain the behavior when using FSUIPC other than it seems to bypass that somehow. In testing, we aren't able to reproduce this bypass-like behavior no matter what we do on our code side, even trying to continuously send throttle events or simvar sets that are under the low extent, nor have we been able to reproduce it using other third party hardware binding software suites.

No, sound should be the default WT -10 sound if you have no sound pack.

As I said, when it happens again try to just kill the FSLTL injector and see if that changes something. Otherwise I have no idea since you already did a clean reinstall of the WT -10, right?

Reinstalled the 787-9 not the WT from the updates. I can give that a try too

Yep .. everything good up to the point of rotation .. They have a winner once the rotation sensitivity issue and unstick speeds gets sorted.
