When do you think this will be released?
Also is anyone else interested in the 787?

I will be doing the 787 as well. The software will be the only hangup for a little while, but there is much to do before you need it anyway.
I will say the hardware will be there so wait a little longer and don't be a sheep be the #%$#$# wolf.

From what is shown on some of the flightdeck pictures or so called mock up the flightdeck shows alot of B777 influence. Like the big screens though.

Yeah but its got ALOT of new features. Terrain awareness, new autopilot feature, extensive use of the CCU. You can even use the CCU on the map and click on waypoints and then they will be added to the route!
Lots of cool features.
I agree with Badge, there is alot to do before software is needed. Sure, it would be an added bonus to fly and build but I think I can wait for the software and if not, I might urge a company to develop it, and it won't necessarily be the normal companies and might be a local one for me.;)

I wish I knew what shade of grey the panels are, looks easy enough to do, cant figure if its yellow/orange illumination or white.
So want one of those

Hey ;) ;)
The aircraft is not even flying or commercially certifated in real life .... what's means that even Boeing doesn't have all the parameters and dynamic data yet ;) ;), so I suppose it's extermly difficult to have a correct simulation version ....
Knowning how many time has passed already between the start of PM and the development, of other than B737 Boeing types, I think we will be all retired and facing grey hair ;) ;)

I would have to agree. It might be nice for our grandkids though.

Like the touchpad on the 777 that you use for the checklist.
