Questions about the next 787-9 update
Hey Bravo Airspace team, huge thanks to Francis for making the overall flight and simulation experience on Xbox much better..!
Just wanted to follow up on my previous question. Max mentioned a while back that Ethiopian and LOT were the main ones planned, but tagged LeadDeveloper to see if EgyptAir could be added. Just checking in to see if there's any update on that or if EgyptAir will be included. Also, curious if you guys have any sneak peeks you can share on upcoming features or new 787-9 liveries.
Regarding performance, I took the -9 for a flight yesterday and noticed a few things after installing the SU6 beta. When I first spawned at a gate, I ran into that classic black avionics problem similar to the WT 787, but whenever I spawn directly on the runway it powers up fine, and I didn't get any black screens after takeoff.
Lastly, if you ever need any help with Arabic translations for any Middle Eastern operator, whether that's cabin announcements or text for cabin textures, I’d be more than happy to assist with that. Thanks again for all your hard work..!
Francis @LeadDeveloper2026-08-04 19:28:09.262ZHi,
I just saw your post and I'm reminded how badly many people want an EgyptAir. I will include too.
Yes, I will be needing Arabic translation. I need multiple people from that region to help me check the speeches.
Regarding SU6 Beta, it all depends on the airport you're in. Were you in a complex airport? Regardless, this next update will have some optimizations that I'm hoping will improve the experience. Working with this locked mod is a bit tricky but I can manage proper LODs.
Thank you for your support.

Okay, if you need any help translating from Arabic to English or anything regarding Arabic, I'm here!
Also regarding SU6 Beta, I did test the -9 in Heathrow & Cairo (Premium Deluxe version). Currently on a flight from Boston to Heathrow ( Fs24 ) and haven't had any black screens or performance issues (no real-world traffic, parked aircraft set to Off). I'll update you if any issues appear during the flight.

Update : I did experience black screens on approach to Heathrow..
I was descending to 2,500 ft as normal and switched to External View mode, but then the "Memory resources are getting low" message appeared, and the aircraft crashed.
However, at least I was able to start it up, take off, reach cruise, execute a step climb, and descend without any crashes until the approach and landing phase. That is a HUGE improvement, even the WT version, which doesn't have a cabin, used to crash on startup..!

Sounds like they are playing around with the settings on the beta....
I saw the images you sent me.
The 787-9 should be more optimized for the next update.
