A fully-featured Boeing 787 freeware package for Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Prepar3D including 3 different models, many engines and 56 repaints/liveries of real-world airlines. Fully compatible with the latest FSX: Steam Edition and Prepar3D v4.5+ (and backward compatible too - P3D v1 onwards). Compatible with all versions of FSX including Acceleration, SP1/SP2, and FSX-Steam as well as all versions of P3D.
Affectionately named the "Dreamliner", the Boeing 787 (originally the 7E7) is a mid-size, long-range airliner manufactured by Boeing that has been adopted by many real-world airlines and flight sim users alike.
The 787 flight sim model was originally developed by TDS and a complete Virtual Cockpit (VC) and control panel sections by Alejandro Rojas Lucena/FSND (with modifications using Ken Wiggington's 737 VC tweaks) have been included.
The original aircraft design was mastered by TDS. Chris Evans completed the compilation of all of the features, repaints, and compatibility (especially in P3D) and improved textures bringing them up to modern formats. Flight dynamics have been improved from the original TDS models sourced which bring better flight characteristics mirroring the real-world 787 along with various other fixes such as cabin enhancements. The original TDS model was based on a ground-up model design that was researched from drawings, photos, and technical documentation.
Over the years, people have shifted away from using 2D panels, and the most requested feature now for freeware aircraft is a working 3D VC. The VC included in this package is based on a 737-800 VC with some changes to make it look more like the 787's cockpit. Custom sound packages (sound packs) for each model are also included.
This pack is a complete working and functional pack bringing a detailed FSX 787 to your virtual hangar which is compatible with both Microsoft Flight Simulator X and all versions of Prepar3D. You may watch the videos above demonstrating take-offs, landings, and flight time using this model and view many photos/screenshots in the section below.
Main Features of the 787 Pack
- 56 Liveries/repaints included - the ultimate collection all in one package.
- Three different variants - 787-8, 787-9, 787-10 - the full 787 family collection.
- Custom sound packs for engines and more.
- Fully functional VC (Virtual Cockpit) which offers control of fuel pumps and other advanced features such as gauges, instrumentation, and more displaying the full flightdeck.
- Advanced animations include opening the pilot's window, working wipers, rain effects, and other configuration options.
- HUD (Head-up display) on some aircraft.
- FMC, G1000 MFD, TCAS on some models, and autoflight system.
- GPWS (Ground Proximity Warning System) and other technical modes available.
- Checklists, FMC documentation, and user manuals are included.
- Animated doors with cargo doors, passenger doors (for passengers to enter on the ground), and fuel loading along with ground servicing such as cargo load, stairs and food delivery.
- Fully animated landing gear with accurate detailing.
- Paintkit included so you may create your own paint scheme.
- Realistic aircraft lights and night lighting effects.
The package has been created in a certain way for ease of use. There is no need to edit .cfg files, manually add repaint configuration, panel settings, or anything like that - simply drag the relevant folders into your copy of FSX or P3D and load the aircraft up in your simulator.
Each aircraft/folder is complete and separate making it easier to use. While doing it this way makes it easier, it does mean the initial download is larger. However, we find users prefer larger downloads over manually editing configuration files and learning how to add repaints.
Different 787 Models Included
Included are three models with various different liveries for each - it contains the full collection of 787 versions.
- Boeing 787-8
- Boeing 787-9

Various Engine Configurations
Many different engine variants have been included such as Trent 1000-A, GEnx-1B70, and others. The engine models have been created based on real-world operations and configurations of the 787. Engines have been modeled uniquely to ensure they represent the design and even performance of their real-world counterparts.

Installation Procedure
-
Unzip the entire archive to a temporary folder.
-
In the root folder of the extracted archive, there are 5 folders. Copy the contents of the "Sound" folder into your main FSX or P3D Sound folder.
-
Copy the contents of the "Effects" folder into your main FSX or P3D Effects folder.
-
Inside the "Aircraft Packs" folder there are 56 different folders representing each different Boeing 787 mode/livery in the package.
-
Inside each of these folders is a selection of screenshots and the actual folder containing the aircraft model and paint that your simulator will use.
-
Copy this final folder (if confused this folder will contain the ".air" and "Aircraft.cfg" files) into the FSX or P3D "\SimObjects\Airplanes" directory.
-
You should do this for each variant you want to use.
-
-
Once complete, you should now find the aircraft visible in your copy of FSX or P3D.

If you are not aware all aircraft that are both FSX and P3D compatible work in P2DV6. What a joy!
the Boeing 787-10 has the services once parked, and I don't know how to disable it, it doesn't have the panel of the 787-8
it's annoying because when I'm taxing there's them being dragged, it's visually unpleasant
Have fuel at 50%, clear skies, and flaps 5, but mine does not lift off until 270 kt ......?
Nice job but some aircrafts shake when parked and also external lights not working.
Aircraft accelerate automatically even with the autothrottle disabled.
Looking good! Well trying to get some free aircraft, can't afford Payware at this time, but pretty soon I'll have a little more Moola to work with. The rest of you have fun out there!
I think the 2D panel is easier than the 3D virtual cockpit when you want to click on things because, in the VC, the viewpoint moves, making things not impossible to click on, but hard, so when I want to click on something in the virtual cockpit and the camera moves, it pulls the button, knob, switches or lever, etc. away from the cursor. Now that I've explained the VC issue with clicking on things, you all know I don't appreciate aircraft with no 2D instrument panel.
Why does it have 737 cockpit?
I cannot get the 787 packages to appear in the latest Steam edition. I downloaded it again with the same result. Very disappointing.
I congratulate the builders....but I regret that the aircraft didn't come with the 2D panel. After all, some FSX users do not intend to be commercial pilots, but to have fun. Whether they like it or not the simulator is a distraction for some and doesn't have to be totally professional. For that, there are Aviation Schools.
Microsoft itself with its FS2020 has already entered a pace of perfection wanting to get closer to reality, and it is already starting to complicate things. To win over fans, you guys should put an FMC user manual, which is complex for us old sims. So, as it is, it will take us a few hours just to prepare for a flight and it starts to get boring to use.
Nice plane but its center of gravity is at the front I don't know why. I think redownloading it will work. 9/10.
I think you can improve it by putting all liveries into one model (eg. all 787-9 liveries into one 787-9 base model) to minimize the trouble of having to put a lot of planes into the aircraft file and saves time.
How do you get rid of the reflections and/or the rain so you can see out the windows?
Who can help with sounds?
I did as directed but no A/C in FSX.
I have been flying FSX for many years, plus I have a computer that can handle anything. However I believe this package is missing a good VC, it is missing many working knobs which I have in my 737-800 N1 knob does not work in VC, also a big problem with handling, when turning AP, the plane loses control from left to right and right to left also when disengaging AP at landing.
Needs to be fixed, also could not find FMC anywhere, it would not pup up. Lighting in the cockpit is better in my 737-800 which you can dim low and high.
The All Nippon 788 handles weird, gonna try the others and see if they handle properly...
Update: So my problem seems to be with the 787-9 united 2019. I just used a 787-8 and had no problem on Departure.
For some reason, I can't get this plane off the runway. There's no way the runway at SAN isn't long enough...
Been flying this in FSX for a little while now and I have to say, it's absolutely untouchable in terms of sheer detail and 'user-friendliness'. The sound on some goes through me a bit, but have never been on one in real life, I couldn't tell you if that's what it's supposed to sound like. Easily the best experience I've had with a plane on this game so far!
The planes themselves are really nice, but I'm having an issue where the planes ascend and descend abnormally. When the nose is pointed straight forward, the planes will rapidly climb. Even when I push the nose down, like 20 degrees down, the planes continue to climb very quickly, so I can never get the planes to descend. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Hi everybody. I have a question. It's possible to use the flight plans from SIMBRIEF? HOW DO YOU FLY FOR EXAMPLE FROM ATHENS TO LISBON....?? THANKS, Rick.
I have been flying the 787 for several years which was downloaded using the Abacus disk. Recently I tried to fly the aircraft it would not respond after I generated a flight plan. I uninstalled the program and reloaded it. I was able to generate a flight plan however, I still had the same problem. at this time I received a "Creation failed - check if the sound file is available".
I next went to this site and downloaded the 787 programs and experience the same results "Creation failed - check if the sound file is available".
Can someone assist me or explain why I get this message. All other aircraft in FSX work as advertised.
I downloaded it but when i open the folder it's empty.
This pack is really good but when I select the wing view there is no wing and I can just see the cockpit.
How should I do to see the wing?
Good evening.
Hi, I downloaded this addon today, and I followed all of the instructions and the aircraft I want to use don't show up in FSX (Steam Edition). Can someone help me?
I just downloaded the latest 787 updates. I hope I can get this to install right lol. I do want to say though, the 787 is plain that brings a lot to the table, and I think you all have done a great job with it. Now to see if it will work. Good job to the ones who did this! Thumbs up!
I just downloaded this yesterday when it was called TDS 787 9 KLM fixed, I followed the install directions but it didn't work so I came back to check what might be the issue. upon returning I see that the page looks different, did you change and update the content or what? I'm confused.
