Aircraft Update : Boeing 787-ix Aviator v1.4.1 by Magknight
Magknight has updated the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner to version v1.4.ane which is the version they displayed at the Cosford UK SimShow back in October 2019, only now this is the official public release of that update. Earlier nosotros become into the new version so let us brand a note. The 10-PlaneReviews site comments were inundated with pleas effectually the Christmas-New year period that the new (discord) version didn't work or didn't load correctly. 90% of these installation issues will get back mostly the Coffee programming linguistic communication application.
Now even myself installed the wrong recommended Java module that messed up a lot of other applications and most notably the Ten-Updater, so I had to throw that Java out once more, and so my indicate is that if I get it wrong and so about of you out there can as well.
Magknight does provide a Java-Installer that does the install correctly, it works and then apply it and the app selects and installs the right Java version (J8 update 212 (64bit)) and everything at present works every bit it should with no other application conflicts, problems stock-still.
The Cosford SimShow showed off the main feature coming in v1.4, which was a completely new redone and remodeled (and realistic) fuselage, although the nose still looks slightly funny? But don't get me wrong, this is a large pace forward, with far more detail and finally real motel windows... but at that place even so a slight too clean look and not enough of the full realism event in my book, just that aspect runs correct through all of Magknight's piece of work.
A major point is to made is that ALL the original liveries with the new fuselage at present don't piece of work, you volition at present need to find all new liveries noted as 1.iv+ to apply on this updated version, that will certainly keep the painters happy for months. The new Paintkit is here: Paintkit i.four.0 RV8
The GEnx 1B ("General Electric Next-generation") engines take also been totally remodeled and changed from the Trent 1000 and again they await far better, and mostly on those huge 111.1 in (282 cm) fan diameter blades, but the fan blades could be a chip more worn realistic and carbon detailed. But the exhaust outlets are well done.
With the new fuselage comes also an internal motel...
.... it is however quite basic with simply an all economy seating and that is with not much love or thought put into the seat blueprint either. There are no kickoff or Premium Economic system sections and it makes the Dreamliner look very long and full inside, I'g not crazy about the rear seat graphic either, the logo is okay, but the on screen controls are noticeably besides large. Thankfully the galleys are very good and come up with plenty food carts to feed the hungry...
... odd though is the big empty space mid-deck that y'all could hold a ballroom dancing contest in, as we know infinite is at a premium on any shipping? The windows and surrounds are very good, not perfect, perfect... but ameliorate than I expected and some glass is tinted (dimmed) and some are clear.
All eight doors now open, including the front end cargo door, but I couldn't get the rear cargo door to operate?, never the less it is great to finally take opening doors on the aircraft and it also banishes that blank empty rear tube forever.
Doors and hatches are opened via the SYS menu - DOOR. They are ready to A-Machine (green) of which yous and then accept select M-Manual (white) to open them, the cargo door outline is not shown? unless you can find the infinite and and then select it? and then the white manual option appears and information technology opens and the brandish shows whatsoever door or hatch that is open in orange. To close is the reverse, but only in using the right mouse click choice (how will Mac users practise this?) then you lot close the door to M, so you make information technology A to seal.
Cabin Lighting
With the new cabin comes too internal lighting, and very good information technology all is. There is a rainbow roof effect on the forwards cabin, and so blueish on the mid-deck and rear cabins. Window strip lighting is as well very practiced also with great sign and amenity illumination detailing.
Galleys again looks sensational with a great modernistic lighting feel...
.... views within the aircraft give off that real night mode feel, and so you can certainly do overnight routes and feel the usual dark flight atmosphere and non get bored of existence in the aircraft for hours. External lighting shows off the ameliorate fuselage and creates better external realism, every bit does the now realistic looking illuminated cabin.
Librain
The Skiselkov Librain effect is now also used on the B789, it is layered on the cockpit windows and the cabin windows and information technology is a peachy improver, but the effects on both the cockpit and cabin windows are also a scrap odd? move your movement and the effects don't feel connected to the windows but are ready out at a distance, equally currently they too don't motion or fifty-fifty modify size, more odd is the EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) "Settings" selection to put "Pelting Furnishings" on the windows, just it doubles upward on the rain effects, in my case this mabe caused past the x-Enviro plugin, just Librain it still doesn't work correctly like information technology does on other aircraft?
Odd as well is any view out of the cabin windows, it is when say when the airbridge is in a viewed through the window position it is actually viewed in a different place to reality?
EICAS - MFD
You can now switch around the MFD (Multi-Functional Displays) displays including the EICAS (Engine-Indicating and Crew-alerting Organization), just that can cause the pedestal MFD to lose a screen, yous can reset this via the option console above the input keyboards for either side.
You lot can likewise select the same MFD option via a selection panel above the EICAS switch for options on the correct MFD, with the aforementioned for the Showtime Officer.
SYS covers Systems and other selections include the main screen in STAT, ELEC, HYD, FUEL, DOOR and EFIS/DSP which is mostly blank. The CDU selection will give you the FMC? (my guess it is for the NAV/RAD - Radio choice) COMM will requite you an information selection panel...
.... only one selection on the COMM actually works and that is a new characteristic for CABIN PA. selection is brilliantly easy, but you tin't hear anything in the cockpit (the PA announcements can heard in the motel, only again they are quite a low book, and that is with the engines off?) I tin can't see or notice whatever aligning either?, so the feature is currently pretty useless fifty-fifty if it works brilliantly?
EFB has had a more attending and more settings that now pushes the pages now into two selections with the added rain effects... the settings are now quite comprehensive every bit are near of the details on the EFB, but at that place are still quirks...
.... on the EFB there is the selection of three EXT ability sources, merely only the left source works, if you access any other EXT source they blank out? so why display them? The 1 Powercart that is shown externally and connected up correctly to the shipping, simply why not end off the job with the required three powercarts and their ability sources to the systems.
The Performance setting page is still very fiddly, only if you follow the manual yous can fill it in, does it actually piece of work is the large question forth with the WT and BAL page unless Magknight is waiting for the ameliorate FMC system? Anyway they have also put in a credit page to note the developers.
Flying the Dreamliner v1.iv.1
The Magknight B789 Aviator is still in reality a beta in development aircraft and you accept that fact when you lot purchase the aircraft in the first identify. Currently it is years ahead of what this B789 was when the projection was started, but you lot also take to accept at that place is still also a long fashion to get.
I can take in development aircraft systems missing and buttons non working, but what I can't accept is when the basics don't work and this shipping still currently relies very heavily on Planemaker to exercise a lot of the lifting work. Wind direction indicators flickers badly as so does your map radius with sharp movements on taxi which are not very realistic.
So set your speed (245knts) ready for the Autothrust (A/T) and it changes (170knts) in one case yous get into the air, the A/T option is switched off so why does the setting change? so yous are diverted from your disquisitional flying phase while you reset it all back over again? so settings have a addiction of changing for no reason? Both the AutoThrottle and Throttle limiter have had refinements in v1.4 and so information technology should be ameliorate.
The NAV/MAP console is basically useless with a setting of 180nm range when it is quite obvious the range is about 20nm? waypoints are impossible to read and so are the flightplan points.
The central FMC has had a revamp, but information technology notwithstanding relies very heavily on the default X-Aeroplane FMS, worse is that it doesn't work? I tried to add in the right BETTY 2A arrival route into Chep Lok RWY 07L. But the system couldn't process the waypoints? The original arrival route was BETTY DCT LIMES when information technology should have gone via GUAVA and SOKOE. Oddly I was able to input the correct route via the WebFMC Pro application that accesses the same FMC as the one on the aircraft, and information technology all worked with ever input faultless there? Spring to waypoint or Direct at present also works, which is e'er a nice characteristic.
I practice however like the input organisation hither, information technology is a nice set-up but just for the left pilot'southward side, you tin't for instance add in radio frequencies on the right FMC.
I had a lot to say almost the operation model in the terminal update review: Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner Aviator's Edition by Magknight. For the Dreamliner the hop from Singapore to Hong Kong 1487 nm route is cypher for the huge distance capabilities of this very modern aircraft, so SimBrief noted I only needed 20089 kgs for the route... just I however fell curt about 120 nm from HNG as I was left with only two.0 kgs in the tanks (so I had to cheat and add together in landing fuel), were equally my official landing fuel should have been around v.3 kgs.
By my calculations the operation was actually better on the SIN-HKG road and certainly not as far out as the numbers that were calculated between Hong Kong and Melbourne, merely are they still not accurate enough as a simulation is all the same a question mark? and subsequently another total year of development this item should have been at the top of the to-practise list. note the flight-model is noted as "for non-experimental", and my current feeling is that aye the numbers accept improved and are certainly closer to the required model...
... updated notes include a 2d flight on exactly the same SIN-HKG route noted this time only a discrepancy of 0.vii kgs or iv.5 kgs at the gate... and then Magknight B789 performance is certainly better and closer to the numbers than you think?...
... so does the 10-Airplane experimental tickbox have to be on? well I flew the numbers in the non-experimental office, so they should have been better or closer to the real B789 performance figures.
Fuel crossfeed now works... simply information technology won't even out whatever tank in-balance, and the left tank has a habit of consuming far more fuel than the right, simply you tin now feed both engines off the 1 tank.
So after all these questions you would think I would non like flying the Magknight Boeing 789... well in fact the opposite is true and like I have noted in past update reviews, the annoyance is in that the basic requirements are not beingness addressed are the PFD and MAP of which are quite average for an aircraft of this calibre and price, merely what it actually shows is the electric current shortfalls and how basic the X-Airplane NAV/MAP and FMS system now actually is ... the bodily enjoyment gene is withal very high, at present even better with a real cabin now sitting behind you.
Flying at FL400 (twoscore,000ft) and powering along at m85 is a great feeling, this is a powerful and fast shipping.... sounds were e'er good, but at present AudiobirdXP have completely redone the FMOD pack (and the new callouts and announcements) and the sounds are excellent, certainly in flight, as I love the feeling of powering along with the cockpit humming away, information technology is also a comforting feeling, so long, long hauls are not a problem and fifty-fifty a joy in this aircraft.
Summary
Some other update to v1.4.1 in the long development of Magknight's Boeing 787-ix Dreamliner. Only this update is a very significant i with the coming of a new fuselage and engines with the new external modeling. Also part of this large update comes an internal cabin with opening doors and hatches, and the Internal cabin lighting is still a highlight. Operation even though however uneven is as well greatly improved.
Added changes are as well new audio sounds including PA announcements and callouts from AudiobirdXP, Rain Furnishings past Skiselkov of Librain fame. MFD panels are now all switchable and the systems and EFB have all had enhancements, so overall this is a very good update.
Diverse bugs and missing refinements are all the same still present, with the X-Aeroplane default areas of Planemaker in NAV/MAP and FMS now showing their very dated shortfalls in this evolution and now certainly require a priority of development in replacing these disquisitional primary flying areas.
Overall the development with updates since the transfer to the "Aviator" branding has been very substantial, yes the Magknight Dreamliner has come a very long manner and personally unlike at the beginning of the development process, I really, really love flying the aircraft, and more and then on long international routes... the bonus at present it looks and sounds even better in the air with the new modeling... a very nice to have aircraft.
