πŸ“° The newspaper has been updated to avoid government and political topics.

      Thanks for this update, but for all planes with a female co-pilot, for example United Airlines N20904 clean, we can see the reflections of the outside scenery in the windshield regardless of the time, for example departure LICJ gate 212 to runway 25. Can this important issue be fixed quickly?

        Thank you for this. I just spotted it. I'm unable to make a quick update on this.
        Give me several weeks, hopefully, to deliver a large 787-8 update.
        And in there it will be fixed.

              Thank you Francis for this update !!
              I’m so looking forward to try it out.
              Btw , one question , because I saw the word copilot , is it normal that I can’t see my copilot ? I always have an empty chair next to me in the 787-9

                So some of the newer model formats have the copilot present. But eventually all variants will have their copilots.

                I'm unsure that once we go FS24 native we'll be able to place the new avatar...

                    That explains it , thank you !
                    Btw what you need a copilot for , we do everything ourselves 😁

                    Regarding the third change. "The aircraft now starts with some battery power on by default, eliminating the 'cold and dark' start. This task is no longer the pilot's responsibility."
                    Is there a way to restore the cold and dark state?
                    There may be some of us, like myself, who prefer cold and dark starts, even if it's unrealistic.
                    Perhaps panel states seen on other aircraft addons could be implemented with the updated EFB in update 5?

                      Hi,

                      Panel state can be a possible integration.
