pjs2005 from Hampshire, UK · CC BY-SA 2.0 · Boeing 787 Dreamliner picturedThe 787 grew from Boeing's 7E7 programme and first flew in 2009. Airline service began in 2011. The family uses a composite-intensive airframe, a swept flexible wing and two large turbofans, with -8, -9 and -10 versions serving different capacity and range needs.
The 787-10 is the longest of those three variants. Its cabin size and mission figures differ from the smaller -8. Simulator avionics and automation depend on the product and update.

The 787-10 first flew from Boeing South Carolina on 31 March 2017. Tim Berg and Mike Bryan flew the aircraft for four hours and fifty-eight minutes while evaluating controls, systems and handling. Boeing described the new version as an 18-foot stretch of the 787-9, making it the longest member of the family. The flight began the test programme for that version, several years after the original Dreamliner entered airline service.
First flight: December 15, 2009 ( 2009-12-15 )
Carriker describes the first 787 flight as the beginning of a deliberately gradual process. The team initially stayed within a small, well-understood part of the predicted operating envelope, then expanded the testing to different weights, speeds, altitudes and system failures. Some choices had been prepared in advance so the pilots and engineers could compare alternatives in flight rather than invent a solution after a problem appeared.
His favourite moment after the excitement of the first flight was taking ANA’s lead pilots aboard. He had spent years discussing the aircraft and their training programme with them; now they could sit in the seats and use the machine themselves. While they flew, he handled the radio and ordinary supporting duties without needing to take the controls. For him, that flight connected years of laboratory work and discussion with the airline crews who would use the finished aircraft.
Tsukamoto was an ANA 747-400 captain working in training when a 2007 assignment took him to Boeing in Seattle. He joined development discussions as a Boeing employee and contributed the perspective of someone who would eventually operate the aircraft. His recollection includes practical cockpit details, such as the seat-adjustment switch and oxygen-mask shape, alongside broader questions about flight operations and training.
Repeated testing and delays made the wait difficult. He felt responsible for helping deliver the aircraft while wondering when he would finally be able to fly it. Seeing the completed 787 brought a particular sense of achievement after so many discussions between manufacturer and airline viewpoints. He later commanded ANA’s anniversary flight on 31 October 2021 and looked back on a decade of learning alongside the aircraft, including the difficulties encountered after it entered service.
Schofield describes moving from an A320 first-officer position to the 787 as a second officer and discovering the variety of long-haul destinations. One week could bring a stop in Houston, another in Shanghai. Reaching that cockpit had involved instructing, flying Cessnas and an Islander in Vanuatu, and operating Chieftains on mining-support work in Australia before joining the jet airlines.
The attraction came with a different rhythm at home. Trips lasting several days were followed by blocks of time off, and early-morning returns often made the first day a recovery day. Social plans moved to weekdays because many friends were also shift-working pilots. She was studying for a business degree as well, setting aside a study day when each roster arrived and reading in hotels. Her interview describes the everyday organisation behind the destinations visible on a long-haul flight plan.
Horizon Simulations Boeing 787-9 GE / Rolls-Royce is the selected Horizon Simulations configuration.
Spring resistance builds with the selected airspeed response. Directed aerodynamic loading is omitted.
Pitch-trim relief is off. Autopilot following is off.

Strengths are normalized hardware-feel settings. They set the effect balance; hand force depends on the device and its limits. The IAS reference is a tuning value.
L'échelle globale finale appliquée à tout ce que produit le modèle, avant la limite du périphérique.
Plus : tout (ressort, charges, effets) se renforce ensemble.
Moins : tout s'adoucit ensemble.
Pourquoi ici : Scales overall profile strength while preserving effect balance, subject to device and output limits.
La force de rappel de base qui ramène le manche au neutre. Toutes les autres forces s'empilent dessus. Trop faible, le manche paraît mou en vol normal ; trop forte, elle lutte contre la main et masque les signaux plus fins.
Plus : un centrage plus ferme qui résiste davantage à la main.
Moins : un manche plus mou qui ne compte que sur la charge aérodynamique.
Pourquoi ici : This profile uses powered-control feel for Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner. The baseline spring is 0.2. Low-speed spring blending is off.
Une petite zone neutre autour du centre où le ressort reste muet, pour que les micro-mouvements à l'arrêt ne vibrent pas. Plus large, c'est plus calme mais plus lâche ; plus étroite, plus précis mais parfois nerveux au neutre.
Plus : un centre plus calme mais plus lâche, avec plus de jeu.
Moins : un centre plus serré qui peut vibrer au repos.
Pourquoi ici : Sets travel around the centre before the baseline spring resists. Smaller values engage it sooner.
Pourquoi ici : Adds smoothly ramped resistance outside the centre deadband. Zero removes this preload.
Pourquoi ici : Sets the travel used to ramp in centre preload. Wider intervals make its onset more gradual.
Une échelle maîtresse sur les deux charges d'axe, appliquée avant leur équilibre individuel. Les profils la laissent en général en place et règlent les deux axes.
Plus : les deux axes chargent plus fort.
Moins : les deux axes s'allègent ensemble.
Pourquoi ici : The stored 0 aerodynamic-load gain is inactive under the zero hydraulic-load factor.
Active la fenêtre d'engagement basse vitesse du ressort (début/plein en nœuds ci-dessus). Désactivé, le ressort est constant à toute vitesse.
Pourquoi ici : Allows baseline spring strength to rise with indicated airspeed where the control law permits it.
La part du ressort qui survit à l'arrêt, avant que la vitesse ne crée la moindre force aérodynamique. Un plancher haut garde le manche ferme au parking ; un plancher bas donne le jeu de câbles d'un avion léger au parking.
Plus : un manche plus ferme au parking et au roulage.
Moins : un manche mou au parking qui ne s'éveille qu'avec la vitesse.
Pourquoi ici : Sets low-speed spring strength as a fraction of baseline when blending is enabled. One keeps full strength.
La vitesse à laquelle le ressort quitte son plancher basse vitesse vers la pleine raideur : le début du réveil des commandes au roulage de décollage.
Pourquoi ici : Sets the IAS where the low-speed spring blend starts rising. This is a feel threshold, not a flight limit.
La vitesse où le ressort atteint sa pleine raideur. Entre le début et ce point, le centrage se raffermit avec le vent relatif.
Pourquoi ici : Sets the IAS where the low-speed blend reaches baseline strength; high-speed stiffening also uses it.
La vitesse indiquée où la charge aérodynamique atteint son niveau de conception. Elle ancre toute la courbe au domaine réel : un 172 charge dès 110 nœuds, un jet bien plus tard.
Plus : les charges arrivent plus tard ; le manche reste léger jusqu'à plus vite.
Moins : les charges arrivent plus tôt et la croisière pèse davantage.
Pourquoi ici : Sets the IAS reference for aerodynamic loading. It is an estimate, not published cruise TAS or a flight limit.
Combien le centrage lui-même se raidit avec la vitesse, en plus des charges de braquage. Zéro garde un centre constant ; plus fait centrer dur en croisière et souple en tour de piste.
Plus : un centre qui durcit nettement avec la vitesse.
Moins : une sensation de centre constante à toute vitesse.
Pourquoi ici : The high-speed spring-stiffening gain is 1. It strengthens the permitted spring response above 122 KIAS, with the squared-speed ratio capped at 7.8.
La limite haute du raidissement lié à la vitesse, pour que le vol très rapide ne remonte pas le ressort sans borne.
Plus : plus de raidissement total permis à haute vitesse.
Moins : le raidissement se bride plus tôt.
Pourquoi ici : Limits the squared airspeed ratio used for high-speed spring stiffening; it is not a device-force cap.
La charge de roulis soutenue issue du braquage d'ailerons et de la vitesse, équilibrée indépendamment du tangage. Avec la charge de profondeur, elle fixe l'harmonie des commandes dont parlent les essais.
Plus : des efforts de roulis plus lourds.
Moins : des ailerons plus légers, plus vifs.
Pourquoi ici : Roll and pitch aerodynamic scales are 0.65 and 0.86, respectively. These stored weights do not create directed aerodynamic loading while that term is inactive. No custom spring-travel curve is enabled.
La charge de tangage soutenue issue du braquage de profondeur et de la vitesse, équilibrée indépendamment du roulis. Le levier principal du poids en tangage d'un type. Il ne touche ni ailerons, ni ressort, ni trim, ni buffet.
Plus : des efforts de tangage soutenus plus lourds en vitesse.
Moins : une profondeur plus légère, moins musclée à tenir.
Pourquoi ici : Scales pitch aerodynamic loading; pitch spring travel and trim responses are separate settings.
Un plafond par force stable de tangage ou roulis avant le périphérique : la garde contre le claquement ou la saturation du matériel en manœuvre forte.
Plus : des pics de force stable plus élevés avant écrêtage.
Moins : un plafond plus doux ; les manœuvres dures s'aplatissent plus tôt.
Pourquoi ici : Caps directed-force output. Native spring effects and device limits remain separate.
Combien le trim de profondeur soulage l'effort tenu et déplace le point de repos du manche. À 100 %, un avion bien compensé ne demande aucune pression : le geste réel de compenser la charge.
Plus : le trim retire plus d'effort tenu ; à 100 %, plein trim l'annule.
Moins : vous continuez à tenir de l'effort même compensé.
Pourquoi ici : The profile uses the trim behaviour configured below. Pitch relief is off, with stored authority 0; roll authority is 0.
Le même soulagement pour le trim de roulis. La plupart des avions légers n'ont pas de vrai trim d'ailerons, donc zéro ; les types qui en ont reçoivent une valeur adaptée.
Plus : le trim de roulis retire plus d'effort tenu.
Moins : le trim de roulis fait moins.
Pourquoi ici : Scales supported roll-trim relief and permitted centre movement. Zero removes roll response.
Vibration de roulement issue de la vitesse des roues et du revêtement : la texture du bitume, de l'herbe ou du gravier sous le train.
Plus : une texture de surface plus forte dans le manche.
Moins : un roulage plus lisse.
Pourquoi ici : Sets rolling texture strength, modified by speed, surface and undercarriage configuration.
Chocs courts et distincts des joints, ornières et surfaces rugueuses : la ponctuation au-dessus du grondement continu.
Plus : des chocs plus nets des joints et ornières.
Moins : des détails de sol plus doux.
Pourquoi ici : Sets gear-bump texture during ground motion, separate from touchdown impact.
Buffet de cellule à l'approche du décrochage et pendant l'avertisseur : la voix de cette aile quand elle est mécontente. Les types à décrochage franc reçoivent un buffet modéré, le klaxon porte l'alerte.
Plus : un tremblement pré-décrochage plus fort.
Moins : une aile plus discrète ; le klaxon porte l'alerte.
Pourquoi ici : Sets stall-buffet strength. Zero removes the cue without changing simulator stalls or warnings.
Buffet transsonique près de la limite de Mach. Parlant pour les jets près de MMO, zéro pour pistons et turbopropulseurs qui n'y vont jamais.
Plus : un buffet transsonique plus fort près de la limite de Mach.
Moins : un vol plus lisse à haut Mach.
Pourquoi ici : Sets high-Mach buffet strength; onset and full-strength thresholds are separate.
Vibration basse fréquence de cellule avec les volets dans le vent, dans la fenêtre où ils travaillent vraiment l'air.
Plus : un vol plus rugueux volets au travail.
Moins : des volets d'approche plus doux.
Pourquoi ici : Sets flap buffet at the configured position and speed gates. Flap movement texture is separate.
Le tambourinement du train rentrant sorti dans le flux. Zéro pour les trains fixes, dont la cellule ne change jamais de forme.
Plus : plus de tambourinement train sorti.
Moins : un vol train sorti plus propre.
Pourquoi ici : Sets gear aerodynamic buffet; movement and ground-contact cues are separate.
Le vibreur de manche dédié, déclenché par l'avertisseur de décrochage de l'avion. Seuls les types à vrai vibreur reçoivent une valeur ; les autres comptent sur buffet et klaxon.
Plus : un vibreur plus dur.
Moins : un vibreur plus discret.
Pourquoi ici : Sets triggered shaker strength; inactive while the shaker feature is disabled.
Le coup unique au toucher, proportionnel au taux de chute : un kiss se murmure, une arrivée ferme cogne.
Plus : un coup plus dur au toucher.
Moins : des arrivées plus douces.
Pourquoi ici : Sets landing-impact strength; landing telemetry and response shape determine the pulse.
Vibration de roulage sous inversion de poussée ou plage bêta. Zéro pour les types sans reverse.
Plus : un roulage plus rugueux sous reverse.
Moins : une reverse plus discrète.
Pourquoi ici : Sets reverse-thrust vibration with valid reverser and engine conditions. Zero removes the cue.
Vibration continue du moteur suivant le régime du ralenti à la pleine puissance : le rappel permanent que quelque chose brûle du carburant devant.
Plus : plus de moteur dans le manche.
Moins : un moteur plus discret.
Pourquoi ici : Sets estimated engine vibration using configured telemetry and response, not measured cockpit vibration.
Vibration continue seulement pendant que le simulateur signale les volets réellement en mouvement. Elle suit la course réelle et les pannes, pas un minuteur estimé.
Plus : plus de vibration volets en mouvement.
Moins : des courses de volets plus discrètes.
Pourquoi ici : Sets texture from observed flap movement; a command without movement does not establish the cue.
Jusqu'où les ordres du pilote automatique peuvent bouger le manche physique. Minuscule dans MSFS, où un axe déplacé peut être relu comme entrée pilote ; zéro coupe le suivi.
Plus : le pilote automatique bouge visiblement plus votre manche.
Moins : un suivi à peine perceptible.
Pourquoi ici : Sets admitted AP-follow gain, not a percentage of travel. Runtime ownership and input limits still apply.

Pourquoi ici : Permits centering hold during a supported AP state, separate from following a moving target.
Pourquoi ici : Sets admitted AP neutral-hold strength; inactive while neutral hold is disabled.
Whether this feature is active in this profile.
Pourquoi ici : Enables aerodynamic cues; each still needs nonzero strength and its simulator conditions.
Where this effect reaches full strength (or has fully faded, for washouts).
Plus : a more gradual build to a later peak.
Moins : a quicker build.
Pourquoi ici : Sets the final flap index for detent normalization. UP plus three detents uses maximum index3.
Where this effect begins fading in.
Plus : the effect begins later.
Moins : it begins earlier.
Pourquoi ici : Sets the first flap detent that admits buffet; this is a handle index, not degrees.
