A talented friend of mine has just built new GEnX engines for the 787, it's a WIP right now, and will be done in a few days, the new engines are higher in polygon count and make it easier to add details that were previously impossible to achieve. RR engines and new landing gear will follow.

Nicola_M, yes, it would be great if you would, along with that explaination. It is certainly no more unrealistic than this one which is posted there for fun by 'Alaskadad'. a great contributor who actually lives in Alaska

That's entirely normal. It's called addiction.
