hiroshi's research into the 787-10, apparently, the new 787-10 won't have triple bogies, and will instead have an SLG that will keep contact with the ground and force the rear wheels against the ground during the landing and takeoff phases, essentially making the gear behave as though it's longer.

Well, as long as it has landing gears that bends like on this plane, I am satisfied.
they don't even cant (that's the word for gears that tilt) like the real gears do.... plus they have poor replay dynamics

about my comment from before.. my computer is a really really old mac, and has a little bit of a hard time just running the jrollon crj... so i get a little bit of a low frame.... does anyone know how to get higher frames on x-plane 9? i wish to upgrade my graphics card.... but i have no idea how and what to do with all those kind of things.. but i mostly want to get my vram up....... anyone know how? i have a old/(i dont really know how old) graphics card, but its an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro... so if anyone can give me any information on graphics or anything.. or possibly a link to somewhere to learn how to optimize my settings.. please put it in a response.. THANKS!! Anyways, Michael, this is a great looking plane and i really wish to fly it..
seriously... there's a help forum for that...

i heard the joke before, though apparently it was a FedEx scratch sheet

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.

very nice liftoff, and a beautiful plane overall, the tires are surprisingly widely spaced, and I didn't expect a backwards tilt on them... anyways, somebody better get on that and build one!
-
progress on projects like these require such huge ammounts of time, and the inbetween moments are agonizingly slow, but rest assured, I think these guys will put out something on a whole n'other level

Airbus is about to test the first a350 in flight! watch it live from that website!!!!!
-
I think it would be cool if there could be a plugin or system in the Avionics where cabin announcements are made. That would just add on to the fun and realism of the aircraft.

I have a Mac Pro 2009, 512mb video, guys did you see the new mac pro design on the apple website? Man that looks like it came out of star trek..
stay on topic, though I will admit, i thought it was a soda can
-
it looks great!! sorry i havent been keeping up with the forum.. but i have been reading all the progress.. and with school done for the summer, I'll be reading and posting a little bit more on the forum... BTW, how would the frames run on x-plane? would the 787 run like the jrollon crj? or something like that?
i built it on a macbook standard from 09, so i'd say you'll get excellent frames
-
From matthew, this plane will probably be the most heavily modified, because it actually has extra windows on either side
-
Things are looking up for me! I may be acquiring my new computer in a few weeks time, no guarantees, but MAYBE.

Hi all! Can anyone give me a link where I can download this 787? Thanks.

all 42 aircraft will be available on this forum's download section.

Good idea! Might be kinda hard to simulate crumpling metal though.
ramzzess has basic ones, though from there perhaps it wouldn't be too hard to extrapolate on them, like having the fuselage at least break into parts
-
Hey! A tidbit of information from Eport Aviation Graphics! It has been confirmed that before the end of July, there will be no less than three paints for the 787 done by him! Many of you are probably familiar with his work on my aircrafts, and I must say I'm excited about this!

The XPFW aircraft do not have exterior objects, only interior VC objects. You are likely exporting the acf as an OBJ and comparing that in Blender/AC3D, claude181.
As Michael has stated and credited, his files utilize the exterior objects from Project Oblivion. Permission for this has clearly been granted and shown.
You are suggesting that the FLIGHT MODEL obj (.acf file) is likely copied and made for his aircraft, and is in violation of copyright. Perhaps this is correct, but I'm going to throw a wrench in this one...
As the founder of XPFW, and a person who knows the people at XPFW all on a face to face basis, I'd say no one cares that the aircraft file was used from 2008. That SAID, credit should be given, so if such is the case, Michael, please consider making that part of it right.
End of story. We don't need to debate and point fingers in here all day. Lord knows the community could use some free aircraft that make the sim look better anyhow.
thanks for intervening, I assure everyone on this forum, the plane has not canibalized parts from the XPFW aircraft and that all parts, including fuselage, wings and flight surfaces were made and edited by myself.
The unfortunate truth is, these planes are extremely similar (because they're both 767s) and you're bound to find some overlap or similarity between any two properly built versions of the plane.
Finally, just a quick note, project oblivion is an illegal group XD my objects came from skyspirit2010, the brainchild of hiroshi.
-
claude, the 767-300 family from XPFW was last updated in 2009, and the current download is only 16 megabites, there's now way I could've stolen objects from them simply because objects wouldn't fit into a file of that size
-
The XPFW 767 doesn't have any objects on it... there's no way my objects could belong to XPFW, unless you're referencing project oblivion's 767 which is infact identical in size and proportion to the XPFW 767
-
understand that we don't condone distribution of that file and that we don't do support any more for that plane. I'm okay with pictures, but those also aren't encouraged because it causes me misery when i get 20+ new emails asking for the plane
-
I could never figure out how to fly helicopters, and when i tried, bad things always happened

How come Heroshi doesn't come over himself he could make lots of money?
he would never sell an aircraft, his life in the virtual world has been devoted to making quality freeware for all, if he were to come to x-plane, he'd make quality freeware, besides, though me, he is here, he's next to me (figuratively) in every single polygon, every bone, every animation, every button etc. etc. etc.

Michael, that's the best news I've heard all day!
thanks
will upload them in a few weeks

A shot of the potential 10.
Essentially, the SLG forces the front of the gear up, pushing the rear of the gear into the ground, effectively making the gear higher (except only on the rear wheels) this allows the plane's angle of attack to be higher without tailstrikes. The reason it works on this plane and not on the -9 or -8 is because they don't have SLGs and the gear bogey is just free-hanging.
