My thank you!
Hello Francis. Congratulations to you and your team on the release of the 789. Looks really good but I’m very skeptical. The -8 really disappointed me with the heads down cockpit view ( that you said I must be doing something wrong with my camera settings 🤣🤣) but ok, the poor FPS and how frame heavy the plane is, the overly exaggerated wing flex is very unrealistic, the fuselage lines being visible is an immersion killer in my opinion, the overly dirty cockpit and the unrealistic dirty cockpit windows. I tried uploading a picture. Look at my profile picture. I begged you guys to be on the test team before the -8 was released. I work on this plane daily. I Know this plane better than some at Boeing. Those cockpit windows are cleaned regularly and have to be because they Dreamliner cockpit windows are auto tinted. And I tried to show you guys how much I’ve flown the 787 on the sim but I was told no thanks. Which is you guys choice and no hard feelings. I just wanted to offer my help and inside knowledge. I’ve defended you guys and your work on the Toxic FS Elite website and other platforms. I know you didn’t need it, but I supported you guys. But from my experience, the - 8 got consistently worse with each update in my experience with the plane. I know for some reason everyone has different experiences with the sim even when using the same add ons. But I wish you guys luck and I look forward to your future projects. But I’m incredibly skeptical once again. Because the only value I see in the BravoLiner is, it has hands down the best sounding engines in the sim and I absolutely love it. But that’s where the love stops. Check my profile pic and see what it looks like. That’s before every flight. And before you believe I’m being overly critical or a hater. Look at my name and go back through the posts. I’m the person that started the -9 petition months ago and I’ve always been a supporter and I’ve purchased 98% of your products minus some A310 and A320 liveries.

D Hudson @Dee318Hello Francis! I hope all is well with you and your team. I see the Dreamliner windows are still incredibly dirty. That makes night flights incredibly difficult. I don’t know what’s going with the constant cockpit lighting that can’t be turned off. The cockpit lighting glare at night along with the incredibly dirty windows really causes issues during night flights. I’ve been flying this plane primarily on 24. The flight model feels really good and the sounds are still top notch. But the heads down default cockpit view is still annoying. The correct position in my opinion should be at the level of the hud display. Meaning level. Not really looking down. And in my observation the outer engine cowling color is a little too grey to me. Should be a little darker. It’s quite light in color comparison. But I love the plane on 24. I
Francis @LeadDeveloper2025-07-22 14:43:27.569ZHi Hudson,
The 787-9 was updated with those issue and so the 787-8 will receive an update this week and give it until next week for release.
Thank you for the compliments with the sounds. I saw a guy on youtube say they sound horrible! And that the plane flies is unrealistic. I guess he's a real-world 787 pilot.So since the plane is not 2024 native, it will behave strangely in multiple areas.
The HUD can be easily used with the camera option and then find a binding config of your own.

HUDSON, I never said "no thanks". Let's keep working on it but I REALLY need proof of your employment with these aircraft.
Hudson! Listen to me, lets be friends. Reach out to me on my Discord for crying out loud! @francisjohannes
Just send me a message so we can talk more. Understand that there's too much going on, and I'm the only person fully focused on this project. You always go away when I want to have a chat with you. You come and go, in and out. How am I suppose to show you love if you hide away?
The weathering was toned down inside the cockpit, and other things have been revised.
And remember, I used real-world images and videos sent to me by real pilots and obtained from real-world aviation. We didn't invent anything.Just reach out to me and don't disappear! Just do it!
