    Realistic font mod for default Boeing 787-10 - Image 1

    Description

    The default Asobo 787 uses Arial as a font inside the cockpit. It is not as obvious as the 747 (where the wrong fonts are really noticeable) but nevertheless I cannot ignore it after having noticed it. I have therefore replaced them with a font that more closely resembles the font on the actual plane.

    The font on the MCP should be thinner and larger, and slightly different from other places such as the overhead. The sizes of some decals are also not completely accurate to real life. However, fixing them all was not possible to do with the current decal system that MSFS uses without making the work much more difficult.

    I have tried my best to work with the current system to better reproduce the font in the real aircraft.

    RECOMMENDED TEXTURE RESOLUTION: HIGH OR HIGHER

    You can find the version for the -8 here.

    How to install

    1. There are two folders in your MSFS Packages folder. Go to your MSFS Official folder, NOT the Community folder (ex. Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Official\OneStore\)

    • MS Store: C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages
    • Steam: C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\

    2. Navigate to Official\OneStore\ or Official\Steam\

    3. Navigate to asobo-aircraft-b787-10\SimObjects\Airplanes\Asobo_B787_10\TEXTURE\

    4. Back up these four files:

    • 787_10_COCKPIT_TEXTS1_ALBD.TIF.dds
    • 787_10_COCKPIT_TEXTS1_EMIS.TIF.dds
    • 787_10_COCKPIT_TEXTS3_ALBD.TIF.dds
    • 787_10_COCKPIT_TEXTS3_EMIS.TIF.dds

    5. Drop the files from the zip file.

    Hi, I appreciate your work! Could you also improve the warning button next to EFIS panel? It seems to be the only pixelated detail remaining (here you can see what do I mean: https://prnt.sc/vBWpblJz5bdc )

    These look so good! Can you do one for the 747 as well? I know that the Salty 747 has custom fonts but honestly theirs is crap compared to yours.

    Hi. These fonts are awesome! But the white illumination light in the MCP is missing. Please fix that. Otherwise superb!

    The white light when buttons are pressed in the MCP is missing. You can compare the original emis.tif.dds file with yours to see the difference :)

I have tried my best to work with the current system to better reproduce the font in the real aircraft. This should also work for the Kuro 787-8 with the file names renamed accordingly, except maybe with the flap speed limit placard from 787-10. I will upload a version for the 787-8 soon.
