Asobo/MS, it would be really great if you could hear me out on this. First of all, I love the sim on my Xbox Series X. Ever since its release, I’ve practically become addicted to it. I’m having a blast with the A320, flying around Europe with those amazing clouds and graphics, with great performance. I love the A320, having logged thousands on the FSLabs A320, I must say it is really good for a default plane. It does what I want it, and behaves just like I expect it to. So I love it.
However, that unfortunately isn’t the case for the 787, the ultimate reason why I got the premium deluxe in the first place. I really don’t want to say this because I respect how much work and passion Asobo puts into the sim, but the 787 is just god awful. Well do I start?
- Well, It is not flyable, in the same way how the A320 is flyable. It’s just all round broken.
- Then the FMC/CDU never does what you want it to. It is not realistic to its real life version. How hard can it be to make it more realistic? Replacing waypoints in the LEGS page doesn’t even do anything.
- VNAV is sometimes INOP, pushing the ALT knob on the MCP does nothing. It just takes ages for the plane to react. And when activating V/S on take-off, the plane will swing like a pendulum up and down on AP engagement.
- The flaps configuration setting is completely incorrect. The 787 does not have “16 or 17” flap numbers. Bit disappointing for a premium deluxe plane.
- The performance is really poor for a default plane, there’s constant stuttering and freezing.
- Too many INOP buttons to properly fly the plane.
That’s all on my list at the moment. Sorry Asobo, I love this sim, but I had to get it out. I don’t why understand why the 787 is still so bugged. Instead of focusing on fixing the 787 and a couple of other broken planes, Asobo instead focuses on releasing the Husky for a quick profit. On Xbox, we don’t have mods. We only have the default plane. Which means, we’re stuck with it. There’s no heavy division mod. So please Asobo, at least make the 787 as good as a payware add-on, especially since it is a premium deluxe plane.
Thanks .
