Happy Holidays Thank you #2

Captains:

Flight Crews:

Please have a look at this... Our second complete AC for both "9" and "X".... And it fits our mission and real world emulated growth perfectly!!! Substitute for the 757 and 767!!

We hit $500M and we buy it!

Also.. the first view of the new modified " GLACIER TAIL" Please at least say you saw this.. No comments on the last one has me worried that they suck or that you can't see them! I spend a lot of time on these and hope they are OK.



Jeff

Let me know when your ready for a test pilot. The 787 is my VA's Cash hauler and on VAFS she is a fuel efficient cash making pig. Is this the Cam sim model? I've been using the Aerosim 787 payware, stay clear of it as it's buggy payware. Where does one get the Cam Sim model and do they have a official site? I love the glacier Tail.

Thanks for replying Tim

Go to Avsim.... go to "file library"... Search on "camsim"

You should get dozens of hits... Select the latest 787 version number for your sim... FS9 or FSX... He does both

Tomorrow, I will post the NLA version for everyone to download... Thanks for asking... Glad to know someone watches these.

Jeff

Hi, Jeff -

Not to worry! I at least saw both posts; the short-field takeoff in the Buffalo was quite impressive!

The 787 is an impressive airplane to be sure, but the current numbers on the Boeing site don't quite seem to back the claim of the aircraft replacing the 757 and 767: the 787-800 (788) is shown with a maximum pax load somewhat less than for a 767-300, yet it's about 100,000 lbs heavier at MTOW. The 789 is about even in capacity with the 763...for an additional 50,000 lbs in MTOW. The 788 carries rather more pax than the 752, but again, it's twice as heavy.

One difficulty from my point of view is the absence, so far as I am aware, of a suitable panel. I have downloaded Camil's model, but attempts to alias one of my panels to this a/c have not been successful. A technical issue (more important to me than it might be to some) is that the 787 is a "bleedless" airplane, major portions of the pneumatic systems on earlier aircraft having been replaced by electrics: de/anti-icing, engine starting, cabin pressurization, etc.

I imagine as the design and it's technologies mature, it's numbers will improve...and hopefully, a decent panel will come along, soon.

Oh, by the way, Merry Christmas, boss!

Merry Christmas to you Dave!

Panels are a big prob with this.. I am using my JF 757 panel with a ton of mods.. I will see what else I can find freeware for use...

QW has one coming out and I am looking forward to that version..

Also... I am almost ready to send you a Leonardo MD "Onion Dome" Wooo Hooo!! Merry Christmas to you too Dave!


Jeff

Thanks, Jeff!

I tried using my PSS757 panel, but it's soooooo unrepresentative; ditto the PSS777 panel. The real killer however, is that the FMCs in both cases are 'hard-wired', and don't adapt to the different weights, wing area, etc., of the Dreamliner.

I'm really, really looking forward to the new paint! Meanwhile, I'll be tweaking the .air file for my 'MD-83', making a JT8D-219 out of a JT8D-217. This is one job that takes longer for FS than it does in the real world!

Jeff, that's 2 of watching QW. As i Said im advising staying clear of the payware 787 by Aerosim. She has issues and Ive had all kinds of issues to the point I had a Military IT friend of mine pull apart there 787 and installer in the hunt for the problem. We have tried to make contact but to no avail. Oh well for the CS at Aerosim and I'm out 45 or so clams. On VAFS in the Fleet look for 787-3. That's the one i use on Canadian Arctic and she hauls 1,000,000 pounds of rubber dodo and victims lol. She's a cash cow with wings.

WOW.. well Tim.... keep her flyin' then! The QW is the one I am looking for as well.. In the mean time (because it could be months or a year or more) This one will do!!! I hope.

Happy holidays to you...

Jeff

Great paint job, Boss.....as always!

We better get used to the freeware version of the 787 as the QW model appears to be about a year away (late 2013) from release according to their forum. Hopefully we can come up with a decent panel to use in the interim.

Happy Holidays!

I would definitely be interested in the Maddog paint.

Will do Pat... I will let you know when it is ready.. This is the first plane I have ever tried to paint from just the kit without actually having the plane... Yikes It may end up a "Frankenstein"

Jeff

Out of route curiousness, would NLA be developing a 787 route from say PAFA to UHPP ? If you can I can link my Russian Hub at USSS to UHPP, thus finally connecting USSS to PAFA via Code-Share.

Nice video and I look forward to trying it out.

Will do Carl!!!! Should have all of these wrapped tomorrow!! Wooo Hooo!

Jeff

Bump

Back in the Saddle I am.... Very soon lads, perhaps even this weekend

Jeff

Excellent news! Still, do take it easy...

Someone's jones'in........ coming soon to a download near you!

Jeff

OK guys:

Must be signed into forums to DL

http://northlinkvirtual.com/extras/CamSimBoeing787-8V3NLA.zip


For FS9 and FSX - YOU must install panel and sound.. Some freeware panels available, 777 has minor similarities.... Big GE's !!!!! Maybe 777 sound on that as well

Flies well... great on frames. Hope you enjoy.

Jeff

This one model builder right??http://pages.videotron.com/camsim/ags787.htm

1st gripe: Eh lo que da con la AeroMexico texturas noche?? Eh what gives with the night textures AeroMexico .

oops... need to update that.. I will repost... and it shall be no secret, I used the AM texture set for the fuse swoop... no shame there and...anybody who gripes can paint their own.. so there...


Jeff

Jeff, Canadian Arctic is Airborne on NLA SW US Fedex 787 runs. Just checking to see about progress on the 787?

OK, I've seen this before, although I've not always ubderstood the reason. Now I am asking...

In preparation for Code-Share flight from KMEM to CYWG after completing a NLA Code-share KELP-KMEM. Really loving this cash cow 787 in beautiful NLA scheme.

I really have a thing for the Glacier tail .

Thanks Tim... The trick is renaming the night textures to the same as the day... I will get that done and resend...
