This is an update for FSX of the TDS B787-8 as updated by Chris Evans.  I have added a hud, a pitch trim gauge, and a nav/GPS switch, because I changed the autopilot on the 2D panel, VC has no changes.  I changed the touchdown effect, the sound, the size of the GPS, corrected the possitions of some of the wheels and most of the scrape points; and I adjusted the flight dynamics.

Unzip to a folder of your choice.  Copy the aircraft to the main FS airplanes folder.  Copy the effect to the main FS effects folder.

I have included the PDF files that came with the update.  Note: you can decend at up to 1,500 ft./min. without gaining too much speed.  Decending at 210 to 220 knots worked fine for me.  Should work at 277 as well.

[Reference Speeds]
flaps_up_stall_speed=140
full_flaps_stall_speed=115
cruise_speed=490			//knots over the ground at 38,000 ft. mach 0.85 (277 indicated)
max_indicated_speed=730
max_mach=0.99
max_level_speed=516			//knots over the ground at 38,000 ft. mach 0.90 (295 indicated)

The above is for quick reference to the flight envelope.

I changed the autopilot for two reasons.  The first is the one I added is easier to see and use.  The second is that until I added it I did not remember that to fly a GPS course with the 737-800 autopilot you have to use the vor loc button instead of the n1 or nav button.  I changed the sound because the interior was noisier than the exterior.

Anyone:  You have my permission to use any of my updates with the following conditions:  One, you don't try to make money with them.  Two, you don't try to hurt, or take something from anyone by using them.
