At this point the project seems abandoned. Transparency with customers is needed.

I just keep remodeling the body to be more realistic. We aren't using Microsoft assets except for two type of passengers seats. Everything else is custom-build.These are shots of the 787-8. Modeling in the interior was done from scratch. And before we walk away from these aircraft we have to make sure they are at the highest level that we can afford to make them. And so this will be the first update for the 787. The variant -8. It will have all liveries and the new EFBv2 (Boeing version).
The plane is bouncing up and down exports in my community folder. And I'm looking forward getting her out so we can get the -9 out too.

this is good, but when -8 will be out?

Modelling in the interior looks fabulous and exquisite
In reply tojojopilot123⬆:Francis @LeadDeveloper2026-06-19 20:26:40.064ZI don't know exactly but there's going to be a small update fixing some minor system issues.
Then the one following is the big one.
In reply tojojopilot123⬆:@HoLeeKaoGuys, you much understand this is not a PMDG where there's so many people working on one plane.
The team is working hard on fixing things and making things better but you can't expect that a handful of people can deliver the same work as 50
Give the team some slack and just enjoy flying and updates will come, its just they don't want to rush things so new problems arise when finishing another.
We all like updates and improvements but you also have to understand the workload the team is to keep you happy.
thank you and happy flying!!- Francis @LeadDeveloper2026-06-24 15:42:48.963Z2026-06-26 01:03:32.197Z
The 787 since it's a mod, it's hard to consider investing in it meanwhile there's other aircraft we are working on which are stand alone and will reshape our future.
And like I tell everyone, a stand alone 787 project will force those who own the current mod to pay a large amount of money to upgrade.
If these were the only aircraft we were working with on a daily basis by now it would had been one of the best choice to have in the game in the long haul category. Because it would be loaded up with details.
Right now is only 3 of us on the 787 family. Livery man which are not painted and we are using the best correct method which is time consuming but beneficial to the eyes, an 3d modeler who is experienced and me who assembles, supervises, works with liveries and makes updates and upgrades to the entire package including the systems and aircraft visual behavior. Other folks are on other stand-alone projects.

Cant wait for the update, the model looks better than the vector 787 so far, especially the wings. I hope it comes out before them tho

Love that. I'm actually excited to release a much more realistic model. More details around the doors, new doors, and many other refinements.
