Horizon Simulations and Kurorin have released the much-anticipated V2.1.0 update for their freeware Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
The extensive update, which has been showcased by content creators and streamers over the past few weeks has gained much attention from the community. V2.1.0 by the Horizon Simulations team and Kuro further works on the Asobo Studio & Working Title AAU2 (aircraft and avionics update 2) overhaul that was made to Microsoft Flight Simulator’s Boeing 787-10 which is included for owners of the Premium Deluxe Edition of the simulator.
This new update includes new cockpit texture fonts, new MCP fonts, wing flex fixes, gear fixes, significant flight model reworking, fixes to the model, built-in GSX profile, reworked flaps, new beacon lights, reworked aircraft data, checklist updates, max ceiling altitude set to FL430 and more.

Installation Instructions from Horizon Simulations
“Once downloaded, extract the file and run the installer. The installer will remove your previous installation & install the new 2.1.0 version. You will need to tell the installer where your third-party sound packs are if you have any. Third-party liveries may cause conflicts (they can be looking for old file structures (for example, they can stop sound working), use old textures/details and therefore be incompatible) and in the first instance you should try a default livery and/or run the livery converter on a third party livery and if that doesn’t work please contact the third party livery creator. We recommend that you do not use any other mods, with this new update due to the incorporation of some into the build such as Wingflex, fonts etc.”
