Issues I’ve Encountered with the 787:
- No Wingflex
- No Engine Wobble
- Incorrect Livery Materials – The liveries appear flat instead of glossy due to incorrect materials.
- Incorrect Livery Colors & Missing Decals – Liveries feature inaccurate colors, and some decals are missing (e.g., Boeing logo on the house livery, blue stripe on the KLM livery).
- No Tilted Landing Gear – The landing gear does not tilt during landing.
- Broken Control Surface & Rudder Pedal Animations – Control surfaces and rudder pedals don’t animate properly; 50% input shows as 100% in animation, and 100% input reverts to 0% in the animation.
- No Passenger Cabin Lighting at Night – The passenger cabin remains unlit when flying at night.
- Light Bleed into Cabin – Beacon and strobe lights bleed through into the passenger cabin at night.
- Incorrect Top Beacon Light Position – The top beacon light does not illuminate in line with its actual physical position on the aircraft.
- Engine Fan Blades & Spinners Wobble – The engine fan blades and spinners exhibit unnatural wobbling behavior.
- Invisible Cargo Doors on Underside – The cargo doors are invisible from the underside of the aircraft.
- LOD Issues – There are LOD (Level of Detail) issues around the engines, navigation/strobe lights, and liveries, especially where the wings meet the fuselage.
- Overhead Panel Lighting – The overhead panel lighting cannot be dimmed; it is either fully on or off.
- Fire Test Not Working – The fire test feature is non-functional.
- EFB – The EFB is too small and it clips through the side cockpit window.
- Doors – The door doesn’t open when connecting the jetway or stairs.
- Inconsistent United Branding in the Cabin – All liveries feature United branding inside the passenger cabin, even though the United livery is missing from the aircraft.
- Missing Liveries & Limited Selection – The United livery, which was shown in one of the trailers, is not available in-game. Additionally, the selection of liveries is very limited. Since the aircraft is encrypted, players cannot create custom liveries, so it would be great to see more liveries from airlines currently operating the 787-10.
Conclusion:
The current state of the 787 is disappointing. I paid extra for this aircraft, and the issues above significantly detract from the experience. I sincerely hope these issues will be addressed in the upcoming SU1.
