Took this up for a spin for the 1st time this morning UA DEN-SFO.  A lightly loaded positioning flight.  I seem to be having major problems.  My rudder was not working and now with the AP the plane is listing to the left.  At least its stable at the moment and proceeding to SFO.  Also FL350 was about the best I could achieve despite being lightly loaded.  Trying to get above that it just starts bleeding airspeed even climbing 500 FPM. 

Not sure what the story is with the rudder.  I had no rudder control on takeoff and I got a warning.  Its very rare but I have had the AP listing to port bug on other aircraft before.  It happens maybe twice a year so again very rare.  When I land in SFO I will reboot the sim and see if at least some problems go away!

Its going to be an interesting landing!

 

Yup, had this rudder thing aswell at takeoff, makes the plane allmost impossible to go relative straight the runway - unbelievable releasing something like that..😏

My landing is coming around an hour and I expect the worst !

cheers 😏

I've not yet tried but sounds like I may be better off sticking with the 787-9 for the time being. 

You better do so - probably my last flight with this 787-8 !!

cheers 😉

I just landed in Cancun, landing is fine.

After reading the laudatory reviews of this product, it seems to me that they were paid for. After all, this is complete word not allowed. Especially when landing

I just landed fine.

Most of the reviews are also probably for the previous version.

I decided to divert to SLC since the listing problem was getting worse.  Seems everything is all over the place and out of alignment for the lack of a better description.  For example select 1500 FPM but the plane continues to go down 2000 fpm.  Its a real slick airplane and getting it slowed down was really difficult.  This is partially how it really is but even with Flaps 25 it wanted to to 180nm ++ during approach.  Also despite the high speeds control authority with limited at best.  Managed to get it lined up and was about to make the perfect touch down and grease it when the sim suddenly stopped and I got the pop up that I damaged my landing gear.  No WAY that was a perfect touchdown!

Something is haywire with this aircraft!

If it’s normal for you to flop around like on a Cessna, then good luck. I like to rub like on PMDG

*shrug*, only issue I had was it climbing too slow.

Are we talking about the same aircraft? I had no flopping.

What program is that screengrab from? Looks sleek.

OK, landed safty at PANC and landing was as good as with the 787-9 so preety OK, nothing worse to say about that. Flight LNAV/VNAV allso went well so seems the biggest Issue is the climb profil..

I bit more stability to left-right tracking on the runway for takeoff would be fine, this looks a bit worse compared to other aircraft of this type .

Just to report back..

cheers 😉

I do not believe

Oh well I'll wait till they fix it lol. I only wanna sim these days with proper aircraft on the actual routes.

I don't believe anything you say.

Belive what you want, anyone it's own..

I just try to always give a realistic flight report of the aircraft I'm currently testing so that everyone can form their own opinion.

cheers 😄
