FLIGHT 1 - QUALTIYWINGS ULTIMATE 787 COLL P3D4-5

My experience with this aircraft has been nothing but positive. I would say this probably has the same systems depth as the Aerosoft A330 pro ( a guess as I do not have the A330 ), which is enough to do IFR plans which instrument approaches and even missed approaches. However, the lack of failure simulations makes it near, but not quite PMDG level. The HUD is modeled beautifully, as is the A/C propensity to overspeed on taxi requiring careful monitoring of one's ground speed. The textures are well done, and the liveries are sharp and crisp, whether they are QW bespoke or from someone like inibuilds. There is a tutorial by Jon Fly on YouTube I highly recommend, as he walks through the Cold and Dark with a real world 787 captain. AviationPro also does a good Cold and Dark. I will say that the only negative for me is the fact that you cannot do a proper programming of ETOPS alternates with their own fixes, although it is not enough for me do down-vote it a star. I say the value for money is there and that this is the only proper 787 sim on the market for P3D. Also, I would say that this is definitely for someone who wants more system depth, but is not quite ready to take the plunge into the world of Leonardo, PMDG, Milviz, or FsLabs. Also recommend for someone like who likes to travel those more niche direct routes ( IAD-ZRH, DFW-HNL, EWR-HHN ) that do not get serviced by 77Ws and 744s.
