Update 5 Deployment Notice

Hi,
The engine condensation and flap vortices have been removed temperately on the 787-8. This is due to the fact that most people are now using it in MSFS 2024.
And in MSFS 2024 these effects aren't working correctly. The person who did these effects more than a year ago has not been available.
I can restore the engine effects and anything that might look OKAY. But finding someone to remake this job has been complicated. But it does not mean I'm going to halt the remake.

I tone down the windshield weathering. Can I see a screenshot from your end?

The head-down camera angle is extremely hard to recreate. I had one guy in our test team with this issue, but then he fixed it by reinstalling the sim. I have not received any request for support on this matter.💖

The 787 9 heavy frames are another procedure that I will not allow to happen with any future aircraft. All planes MUST be fully optimized from this point on before they are released! The 787 family is getting LOD's to decrease the memory use. Optimized accordingly. It will also have a lighter version, which will not feature a cabin and utilize lower-resolution textures.

Yes, there has been ongoing issues with cabin lightings and EFB control. This has been revised and we can now control the lighting. This will come in update 5.
Apologies.

Francis is pushing to upload the update this month. He had to work on a small update for the Dreamliners as well. And he's overseeing other work as well.

Please, guys, stay calm, please.
It will be released.

Hi, I’m having issues with the 787’s throttle, I’m on Su4 Beta and the throttle just does not move, visually or literally, not sure if it’s an issue on your side or MS, will do some testing and let you know.

Listen @boeing787dash9
I'm very sorry for the delays.
The reason I'm going to release 4.9 is so I can quickly release 5.0.
Many people have been waiting for anything from 4.9 as well.

The sooner we release 5.0 the better for us because we also have more things on our road map that need attention.
At the moment I'm the only person who can assemble new assets. The doors are always welcomed for people who are willing to do the job but hiring trusted individuals takes a long time.

Update 5 was meant for last year. Many events have piled On that have blocked me from completing the final product.
Right now we here at BA want to simply complete these Dreamliners as described to you guys. No doubt.
And after update 5 we won't be announcing any updates because anticipating and necessity runs high. And so we will just release by surprise from that point on.

The new Boeing EFB will provide what you need and a bit more. It can be released today but each variant will need deeper optimizations and the non-leaking lights to be included otherwise it will be another empty promised EFB. Working with locked-premium deluxe mods from 2020 is not a walk in the park. I love our Dreamliners and improvement is always welcome. But there's always unpredictable setbacks.

I wish to complete these tasks ASAP but there's many variables and elements that have to be exported and review in the game to make sure it all works correctly.
My mistake was to announce so many updates but at the same time it's important to keep pushing ourselves to be at least close to the finest releases. But replicating the aircraft exactly like the real one, at least visually is enough drive for us to stay motivated.

I do apologize for these delays.

The 787-8 was given a smoothed fixed around the windshield which looks like a dark triangle in MSFS 2024.
Any airplane with heavy texturing on fuselage 1 will need a retouch.
The 787-9 will not need any retouch but both variants have new updated seats which fabrics will need to be updated by livery painters.
