Update 05/07/2015 Finally bought the annunciator panel! Took a while to connect all those lamps but worth the effort: now I have feedback of the systems what's working and what's not. Now I have the confidence to cross the ocean

Good morning, Good evening, Good day, wherever you are at this moment, yes, I totally agree to two things: to be sorry, to what this thread was going to, and to close this thread. Why?! First, I totally understand and respect, when Michael is more in real life, than in sim-life. Education, work, is more important than everything. Over the last two weeks I retired from X-Plane, and went back to FlightGear. I was getting sick on the behaiviour how Planes and Users are treated at the moment. The two major players, FlightFactor and JarDesign, are not able to deliver a plane, that is working on all OSs. And that for that price. The updates, especially by FF, are a joke and a nightmare. And in the community, the good planes are becoming rare. And now we are here. This thread started 2012. And now have a look at the community in FlightGear. Have a look, where the A330, the 787-8, the 777, and all the others planes are today. Where the complete sim is today, with the help of a stable community. And this is the lack, why this bird, the 787 we are talking about here, will never see the sun on FL410. Because everybody of the developers in X-Plane is doing his thing on his own. And not really clarifying. It's all on communication. A big failure, I noticed in all the years on X-Plane, and now it's time to change completely, for me. Just my 2cents, and I really wish Michael all the best for his future life, personally, and in work, business, whatever he is going to be. Thomas

SOLVED Yes that got me thinking - what is the Video Driver Version ?? My desktop utility said that that the MSI drivers we up to date and so I thought no more of it. However, looking on the MSI website, I got it to do a live check on my system and indeed there was a Video Driver update. Having installed it, SkyMAXX Pro is now working beautifully - with lots and lots of glorious clouds. And the FrameRate ?? Well this has increased in the JAR Airbus A330 Cockpit into the high 30's and external views at big airports like Heathrow are up in the 60's. But now turning Silverlining on or off has virtually no effect on the FPS. So very pleased now and many thanks again for all the comments and your patience !!!!!! Rgds TOM

I can never get why people are able to read enough of the thread to understand that it is/will be a good product that they want to get and then not read just the last page to find out that the release date is still unknown... Seriously just scroll up 7 or 8 posts...
