The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner has already been there in FlightGear for a very long time but then it didn't have many of the 787's features like a realistic glass cockpit and many of the instruments. The new/updated Boeing 787-8 is a community project that features new JSBSim flight dynamics, Vertical Navigation, realistic 787 glass cockpit, new CDU, Electronic Flight Bag, TCAS, advanced Nav Displays, [http://wiki.flightgear.org/Howto:_Implement_a_Vertical_Situation_Display_in_Nasal|Vertical Situation Display], [http://wiki.flightgear.org/Howto:_Implement_a_Fly-By-Wire_System_for_Airliners|Fly-by-wire] and a lot of other neat features. It has not exactly been completed and the project is still running. You can find out more about the Boeing 787-8 Project HERE or wait for a while till a wiki page is created for it. One of the really good points of this project is how most of our findings and resources have been converted into Wiki HowTos for other aircraft developers to use for their projects. | |||
