BOEING 787-9 PANEL, VERSION x04, FOR USE ONLY WITH MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR X (FSX) ®
This
version contains a fully-functioning PFD, MFD (including EICAS), Throttle,
Overhead and FMC. In addition, it also contains:
A SEPARATE CO-PILOT VIEW
A SEPARATE THROTTLE VIEW
THE SOUND PACKAGE
PRE-REQUISITES:
SOFTWARE: THIS IS ONLY A PANEL AND SO YOU NEED TO HAVE A
BOEING 787 AIRCRAFT ALREADY INSTALLED ON YOUR
SYSTEM BEFORE INSTALLING IT. A MINIMUM KNOWLEDGE OF FSX® FILE ORGANISATION IS
ALSO RECOMMENDED. Specifically, you MUST
be able to edit a panel.cfg file.
HARDWARE: this panel is very detailed and sophisticated
and so, to be able to make good use of it, you must have a computer which is
capable of running FSX® with a regular frame rate of at least 25.
1. GENERAL
CHARACTERISTICS
TIPS: To help you more readily understand which
device does what, a flying tip is displayed whenever the cursor is moved over
any switch or knob.
HELP WINDOWS: New to this panel are a
number of HELP windows which can be displayed while flying. See Section 12
below for further details.
DOCUMENTATION: The documentation included
in the kneeboard “CHECKLISTS” is also
readable while flying.
OPERATION: Please note that this software has been
designed to be used ONLY with a Minimum Screen Resolution of 1024x768x32 AND in FSX® Full Screen Mode. It
will probably work with other lower settings but the display will almost
certainly be impaired.
NEW: Reflecting changes made with the introduction
of the Boeing 787, this panel operates in a somewhat different way from the
preceding panels in this series. For example, the new 787 “touchscreen” or “touchpad” feature, allowing functions to be
selected by a moving cursor, is simulated. Further details on this are provided
in Section 7 below.
2.
AUDIO ENHANCEMENTS
PLEASE, NOTE THAT ABSOLUTELY NO ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE IS REQUIRED TO PLAY
THE SOUNDS.
Suitable sounds are provided for every moving part and every device (for
example, the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) and the BEACONS) which make a sound on
the real-life panel.
The Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) is also fully operational.
3.
THE VIEW FORWARD
Note that NO VIRTUAL COCKPIT is
currently included as this is more a function of aircraft design rather than
panel design. However, on request we will endeavour to add one if this is
possible.
4.
OTHER VIEWS
The copilot’s view:
and a look down to
the throttle:
5.
THE OVERHEAD PANEL
The Overhead Panel is very detailed and all the main
functions supported by FSX ® are fully operational. For example, you can actually
simulate an engine FIRE and then stop it using the Discharge Switch!
6.
THE PRIMARY FLIGHT DISPLAY (PFD)
The PFD displays very detailed information about the
horizontal position of the aircraft and the operation of the Mode Control Panel
(MCP).
NEW: it also displays a map similar to one displayed in the MFD.
7.
THE MULTI-FUNCTION DISPLAY (MFD)
The MFD displays the MAP, FLIGHTPLAN, RADIOS, VORS,
ILS and more in either a partial 180° display or a full 360° display format. In
addition, the MFD is combined with the EICAS on the same screen. As usual, the
map can be displayed in full screen format if this is desired.
8.
THE CONTROL DISPLAY UNIT (CDU) AND FLIGHT MANAGEMENT
COMPUTER (FMC)
The FMC contains many powerful features. At
initialisation it looks like this:
Note that it simulates the new TOUCHPAD and Moving
Cursor of the 787.
It will:
a) follow an FSX ® Flightplan (or a flightplan created using other software
and then imported into FSX ®), including
the Approach Phase;
b) manage the Take-off Thrust and the Climb;
c) calculate the optimum V1, VR, V2 and Cruise speeds according to the
cruise altitude, calculating speeds in both knots and mach;
d) control the LNAV (Longitudinal Navigation) and VNAV (Vertical
Navigation);
e) manage the “Economic Climb” function;
f)
manage the complete Hold;
g) manage the FIX function, for heading to a specified VOR;
h) display all necessary information relating to:
ATC - the flight number,
aircraft identification, etc.;
VNAV - speeds and altitudes;
LEGS - the heading,
distance and altitude for each waypoint;
PROGRESS - the actual position, the previous and next waypoints and the
Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) at and the fuel required to reach the
destination airport;
APPROACH SPEED - useful
information on flap settings and corresponding speed limits required during an
approach, plus speed and aircraft weight;
NAV - radios, both active and standby, OBS and
radials;
COMM - radios, both
active and standby, transponder and ADF;
POSITION - the current
position of the aircraft at the departure airport and (for fun) the three
positions of the three IRS (Inertial Reference Systems);
i)
allow direct entry of all data into all
function pages;
j)
follow the APPROACH and TRANSITION retrieved as
described above;
k) allow the brightness of the display to be adjusted for night flights on
both the FMC and the renewed PFD and EICAS UPPER and LOWER windows;
l)
allow the aircraft to be flown manually
(providing the ROUTE has not been activated);
m) control the Pushback function;
n) and, last but not least, manage the fully automatic AUTOLAND, from the
ILS capture to the full stop on the runway.
9.
THE HUD
10. THE
THROTTLE
The throttle is also complete.
11. THE
YOKE
Note that the Yoke and Pedals are controlled by moving the yoke when the Autopilot is OFF but
are controlled by the Autopilot when it is ON.
12. A NEW
HELP FUNCTION
An new help function is implemented which allows some
pictures to be displayed and the whole documentation to be read while flying
without exiting from FSX ®.
13. INSTALLATION
The installation is
completely automatic (the package is supplied as a .exe file). By default the
panel is installed in:
c:\Program
Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator x\SimObjects\Airplanes\b787_9\
but you can of course
browse to any other location you wish.
