The long awaited update for the QualityWings 787 has been released.
The team at QualityWings and the beta testers have been very hard at work for the past few months updating and testing version 1.1.2 of their immensely popular Ultimate Boeing 787. The developers have improved and reworked several features that the community said needed work and QW delivered. The new EFB has been improved as well as the take off performance to give proper flap settings and derates. QualityWings have also stated that they have implemented an optional feature to create a crash log and will be sent to the development team automatically if you experience a Crash to Desktop while flying the 787.
