=Aircraft Status and ToDo List=
==Flight Dynamics Model: 4==
*The Boeing 787-8 has a JSBSim FDM matching a lot of results from http://www.lissys.demon.co.uk/samp1/desmis.html
*We don't have more detailed test results. so we can't test everything yet. Once we get that, we need to tune the FDM further.
==Aircraft Systems: 5==
*The Aircraft has very advanced systems imitating realistic systems from the real 787.
*Random/Checkable Failures purposely haven't been implemented as random is never realistic. But Engine failures, ice etc. occur in the appropriate conditions.
*The 787-8 has very advanced instruments, flight management computer, hydraulic, electric, pneumatic, heating, fuel etc. systems.
==Cockpit and Instruments: 4==
*The cockpit is very detailed and most buttons are there and functional.
*The instrument displays are very advanced and functional, the ND could be replaced by a hard coded version though.
*A Camera View instrument is supposed to be there but isn't, but we're working on a hard coded camera view instrument.
*The aircraft uses textures extracted from pictures and ambient occlusions created with blender.
*The complete cockpit has been light-mapped and looks very good at night too.
==Model: 3==
*The model is still from the old 787-8, there's the basic model without a cabin, rods aren't yet complete either.
*The landing gears have been re-done and look a lot better now, but the model has a much better scope of improvement.
