Boeing 787

The Asobo Boeing 787-10 for Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS), included in the Premium Deluxe edition, offers a visually stunning model of Boeing's advanced long-haul aircraft. The 787-10 features a high-performance, carbon fiber wing, modern fly-by-wire controls, and a glass cockpit equipped with six large multifunction displays and a functional HUD. The aircraft's fly-by-wire system adds artificial stability, making it easy to fly and maintain control, even with the autopilot disengaged.

Despite its impressive visuals, the default 787-10's systems and flight model have received criticism for their lack of depth and realism. Users have reported that the systems are basic, leading to a less immersive experience compared to more detailed third-party aircraft. However, the aircraft has benefited from significant updates in Asobo's Aircraft and Avionics Update 2 (AAU2), which enhanced the avionics, flight model, and systems, bringing many values closer to real-world performance. This update included features like advanced flight plan management, a fully featured autothrottle system, and a comprehensive suite of MFD synoptic pages.

For those seeking additional realism, mods such as the Asobo B787-10 Realism Mod are available, which improve the flight dynamics and overall performance to better match the actual aircraft. This mod enhances the hand-flying experience, making the 787-10 easier to control and more stable. While the default aircraft may still fall short for those looking for an in-depth simulation, these improvements and third-party enhancements help bridge the gap.
