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?

Francis @LeadDeveloperThank 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.. I honestly can't wait for you guys to have the large updates.
In reply toLeadDeveloperβ¬:@HoLeeKaoThank you Francis for this update !!
Iβm so looking forward to try it out.
Btw , one question , because I saw the word copilot , is it normal that I canβt see my copilot ? I always have an empty chair next to me in the 787-9- Francis @LeadDeveloper
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...

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?- Francis @LeadDeveloper
Hi,
Panel state can be a possible integration.
- GTerry McPeck @gonzo
Hi Francis, has this been implemented yet? I am also positive I would rather have a cold and dark state (no battery) when I spawn into the 787. I do not see it in the settings of the FMC if that is where it would be.
- Francis @LeadDeveloper
Hi,
I want to make the cold and dark an option and leave battery-On.
I believe we can add it on the FMC.
