Tame the beauty and beast that is the Magknight 787…

You will learn from the experienced Simleybob on YouTube who has already brought you 18 tutorial videos on the aircraft racking up nearly 90,000 views and over 20 full flight live streams within the aircraft.

After over a hundred hours of hard work over three years, Simleybob brings you over 40,000 words across 357 pages of thorough, easy to use and carefully curated Magknight 787 manuals.

Forget wanting up-to-date Magknight 787 YouTube tutorials, this is the ultimate tool and companion you need to unlock the Magknight 787 to its full potential and finally have an enjoyable, stress-free flight.

There are no manuals included in the Magknight 787 package itself so this is a must need companion for any new user or anyone that has been flying it for years, to increase your knowledge and ability to operate the sometimes-quirky bird.

Inside the product you will get

The documentation has been separated two separate manuals, giving a quick overview of them both below (see contents pages in the preview photos link at the bottom for a higher resolution, for a more complete idea of what is included):

1. The Manual – the comprehensive manual that covers every aspect of the Magknight 787, including:

Installation and setup
Update process
FAQ and common issues section that has been curated from support interactions on the forums, discord, and Simleybob’s YouTube comments section
Not well-known hacks and tricks that will improve your flights
Non-normal scenarios (such as failures)
Operating and installing the custom cabin sound packs
Recommended and required external plugins
Key joystick bindings
ACARS (SimBrief uplink of flight plan and weights, METAR request - X-Plane 11 only, obtaining a CPDLC clearance - X-Plane 11 only)
Screen popups
How to go direct to a waypoint
787 real world specifications and background summary
And much more.

This manual contains both the ‘how to fly and use the 787’ and the ‘Magknight specifics’ (the Simulation part – for example, installation and setup).

2. Tutorial Flight Manual – this includes a normal flight that is explained and broken down in depth across 222 pages, with lots of screenshots and graphics to help you follow along the way. The OFP (operational flight plan from SimBrief) for this flight is included in the download folder.

The other two documents are a changelog of updates and the OFP for the tutorial flight. All documents, apart form the changelog, are PDFs.

The documentation covers both the Magknight 787-8 and 787-9, the -10 documentation will be added once the variant is at a standard that equals the -8 and -9 variants.

Extras

Updates

The documentation will be updated alongside Magknight 787 and simulator updates. Also expect updates to correct any reported errors or to answer any feature requests from further questions about the aircraft from you.

Any major updates to the Magknight 787 and so to the manuals unfortunately may not be free if there is substantial work involved.

Guaranteed Support

Included in the main manual is a help and support page which has relevant links to follow, including Simleybob’s contact details if you need support.

No guarantee that the issue will be solved but he will try his best with most responses from Simleybob will be within 48 hours and he guarantees a response within a month at the absolute maximum.

YouTube Tutorial Integration

Throughout the documentation, there are green boxes on the side with links to Simleybob’s YouTube tutorial videos at the right time, so that if you need more help than given in the manuals, you can easily reference the tutorial videos for more help.

Common Mistakes and Tips Given Continuously

Within the orange, blue and red boxes on the side of the page are extra tips and common mistakes relevant to the specific manual page to support you further, helping you learn more about the 787 and the Magknight’s simulation of it.

See the ‘How to use these manuals’ page in the main manual for the details.

Learn about the Real 787

Across 6 pages, a brief summary of the important 787 specifications is given.

For example, a detailed table of each variant’s performance constraints (including speeds, weights and take-off distances), dimensions and range. Comparisons are made with how the performance of Magknight’s simulation is different to the real aircraft. Learn about the materials used in the real aircraft along with the fuel tank capacities. And realise the dimensions of the real aircraft through graphics on top of the simulator version.

Overall, this a complete and thorough product that will be unlikely to disappoint.

Thanks for the support,

Simleybob

Requirements

A PDF reader or internet browser such as chrome is required to view the 3 PDFs included in the package (Adobe PDF reader is not required).

Ownership of the Magknight 787 and X-Plane 12 or 11 or higher is required (otherwise the product is useless to you). The documentation was written for X-Plane 12 and 11 but should work for future versions (there will also likely be documentation updates).
