To the senior members, will you please consider an exception for us to fly the Boeing 787? I know it is not in Delta's fleet, it would just be neat to have the option to fly it some if we wanted.

Just a friendly request/suggestion. Thank you! smile

I don't mean to be a party pooper, but I think the policy is if we don't fly it, and none of our codeshares fly/flew it, then it isn't in the system. So, in time, we will see the 787, A350, and the 747-8. But, I could be wrong. smile

Air France might be purchasing some A350`s, but I`m sure not yet B787.

Some of Delta's codeshares are scheduled to get the 787, but until they or Delta gets the 787, Aiden has hit the nail on the head.

There is another problem though: absence of decent 787 (sorry Abacus)

Aeromexico will be flying it on the MMMX-LFPG and MMMX LEMD route, apparently beggining this summer (I think itll go untill sept/oct., if all goes well). They are waiting for delivery of two birds.

And...I agree with Nikolay, if its not quality add onn, its not on my to-do list.

Aerosim makes a 787 for fsx. Decent visuals but no fmc for the hardcore guys on the panel. A little pricey too. Patience all, we will get it in due time.

TDS, the old POSKY guys released their freeware 787. Good model and nice paints for freeware. Now we only need a vc and nice panel.
