The '''Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner''' project was aimed at improving the systems and [[cockpit]] of the [[Boeing 787|old Boeing 787]]. Initially undertaken by Omega95 and Redneck, the project led to a major overhaul and redevelopment of the predecessor model, with only the main aircraft model and liveries yet to be modified. An interesting change and key feature of the new model is the impementation of a new [[Flight Dynamics Model]] based on the [[JSBSim]]. This was created using much data from [http://www.lissys.demon.co.uk/samp1/desmis.html -- the Piano tool]. Other interesting new features include the development of a 'cool' glass cockpit with highly detailed Boeing 787-8 instruments; and many advanced systems such as the Hydraulics, Pneumatics, Heating, Fuel System and Fly-By-Wire functionality.
