GSX PRO GROUND SERVICES HORIZON SIMULATIONS BOEING 787-9 AIRCRAFT PROFILE
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is an American wide-body jet airliner developed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. After dropping its unconventional Sonic Cruiser project, Boeing announced the conventional 7E7 on January 29, 2003, which focused largely on efficiency. The program was launched on April 26, 2004, with an order for 50 aircraft from All Nippon Airways (ANA), targeting a 2008 introduction. On July 8, 2007, a prototype 787 was rolled out without major operating systems, and then the aircraft experienced multiple delays until its maiden flight on December 15, 2009. Type certification was received in August 2011 and the first 787-8 was delivered in September 2011 before entering commercial service on October 26, 2011, with ANA.
At launch, Boeing targeted the 787 with 20% less fuel burn than replaced aircraft like the Boeing 767, carrying 200 to 300 passengers on point-to-point routes up to 8,500 nautical miles [nmi] (15,700 km; 9,800 mi), a shift from hub-and-spoke travel. The twinjet is powered by General Electric GEnx or Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 high-bypass turbofans. It is the first airliner with an airframe primarily made of composite materials and makes extensive use of electrical systems. Externally, it is recognizable by its four-window cockpit, raked wingtips, and noise-reducing chevrons on its engine nacelles. Development and production rely increasingly on subcontractors around the world, with final assembly at Boeing South Carolina in North Charleston, after being assembled in the Boeing Everett Factory in Washington until March 2021.
The initial 186-foot-long (57 m) 787-8 typically seats 242 passengers over a range of 7,355 nmi (13,621 km; 8,464 mi), with a 502,500 lb (227.9 t) MTOW compared to 560,000 lb (250 t) for later variants. The stretched 787-9, 206 ft (63 m) long, can fly 7,635 nmi (14,140 km; 8,786 mi) with 290 passengers; it entered service on August 7, 2014, with ANA. The further stretched 787-10, 224 ft (68 m) long, seating 330 over 6,430 nmi (11,910 km; 7,400 mi), entered service with Singapore Airlines on April 3, 2018.
Early 787 operations encountered several problems caused mainly by its lithium-ion batteries, which culminated in fires onboard some aircraft. In January 2013, the U.S. FAA grounded all 787s until it approved the revised battery design in April 2013. Significant quality control issues from 2019 onwards caused a production slowdown and, from January 2021 until August 2022, an almost total cessation of deliveries. Due to ballooning production costs, Boeing has spent $32 billion on the program; estimates for the number of aircraft sales needed to break even vary between 1,300 and 2,000. As of October 2023, the 787 program has booked a total of 1,843 orders and made 1,093 deliveries while recording zero fatalities and no hull losses.
*** NOTE: ONLY FOR AIRCRAFT THAT DO NOT HAVE AN EFB TO CONTROL PASSENGER NUMBERS:
One of the things that help with immersion with ALL Simulator Aircraft are the payload settings, for you to get the most PAX on an aircraft when boarding and deboarding you need to set the payload settings in the sim for these aircraft to 100%. You can save these settings by pressing "Save" and giving it a name or leaving the default name given to the file generated. If not done, the most you will see boarding and deboarding - in most aircraft that do not have an EFB to allow for Passengers, would be approximately 1 - 4 passengers. With this setting set to 100% you'll get the max PAX payload that the aircraft can accomodate. REMEMBER to do this, or your simulation immersion will be hindered to the lesser load of the aircraft.
**** IMPORTANT ****
When using this profile please make sure that the nose-wheel of the aircraft is always on top of the Parking Slot "Stop Here" line. If the aircraft is not on that line then re-position the aircraft so that it is. You can do that by using the GSX Main Menu, choose 0 - Reposition aircraft and then choose 1 - Reposition here at current gate. Also, if that does not work you can always start from the runnway and reposition the aircraft from there to the Parking Slot you want to relocate your aircraft to.
*** INSTRUCTIONAL DOWNLOAD INFORMATION ***
Thank you for downloading my HorizonSim Boeing B787-9 Aircraft Profile for GSX Pro. This Profile was created using Horizon Simulations Boeing 787-9 Aircraft.
To install this GSX Pro Aircraft Profile into your sim all you need is 7-Zip, WinRar, or any type of zip/unzipping software. Using either 7-Zip or WinRar will decompress the other without any problems. Once the folders are decompressed you can then copy the decompressed folders into the GSX Pro Folder below:
%Appdata%/virtuali/Airplanes
To access this folder on your computer simply hold down your "Win" key whilst pressing the "R" key on your keyboard. This will bring up a Command Line Run box where you can copy the above underlined text into it. This will open your GSX Pro folder where your DEFAULT Aircraft Profiles are kept, that's it!
Once again you can find ALL my GSX Pro profiles for Aircrafts & Airports in the LINK below:
PantherConsult GSX Pro Profiles for Aircraft & Scenery
And as usual, please "Comment", "Rate", and "Like" the profile that I created to bring to you this wonderful and immersive GSX Pro Horizon Simulations Boeing 787-9 Aircraft Profile.
**** SPECIAL ****
In Cooperation with other MOD Creators on FlightSim.to I would like to share a link that SELF-INSTALLS GSX Pro Airport Profiles directly into your "%APPDATA%\Virtuali\GSX\MSFS" Folder. The Application is Called "Drag&Drop Installer for GSX Pro Profiles", this impressive little App will take away any searches or finds that you will have to do to locate the folder necessary to copy your GSX Pro Airport Profiles into. Created by >>Elevate Solutions<<, a collaboration between >>FatGingerHead<< and smatthew. Click >>HERE<< to access the link to the Drag & Drop Installer Application. Please remember that this application ONLY works for GSX Pro Airport Profiles, NOT Aircrafts created with GSX Pro.
*** NOTE: ***
ONLY FOR AIRCRAFT THAT DO NOT HAVE AN EFB TO CONTROL PASSENGER NUMBERS:
One of the things that help with immersion with ALL Simulator Aircraft are the payload settings, for you to get the most PAX on an aircraft when boarding and deboarding you need to set the payload settings in the sim for these aircraft between 30% - 100%. You can save these settings by pressing "Save" and giving it a name or leaving the default name given to the file generated. If not done, the most you will see boarding and deboarding - in most aircraft that do not have an EFB to allow for Passengers, would be approximately 1 - 4 passengers. With this setting set to 100% you will get the max PAX payload that the aircraft can accommodate. REMEMBER to do this, or your simulation immersion will be hindered to the lesser load of the aircraft.
You may or may not experience an alignment issue with your aircraft once you've picked a parking slot to start off in. GSX Pro does not automatically put you into the parking slot that was created in the profile, it chooses the default spot that the developer created. A way to compensate for this, according to the GSX Pro Discord mediators, before you start your simming experience activate the GSX Main Menu and choose 0 - Reposition Aircraft, then choose 1 - Reposition here at gate. This will place your aircraft’s front two bogies onto the created spot in GSX Pro. Your alignment is now correct and your belt loaders, and stairs will line up with the PAX waypoint pathways that was created in GSX Pro.
According to GSX Discord you should always do this in any GSX Pro Profile you are using. Not just mine, but any profile that is created and downloaded here in FlightSim.to. A good rule of thumb to always practice...

**** CONTACTING ME ****
I have been getting a lot of messages sent to me at my upload pages. Grant it, I do look at these pages from time to time but when messages are added at the bottom of the page, I do at times miss them. I do however always have my DM open and look at ALL my messages there, for future messaging to me please use the DM feature to send ALL messages to me, you can use the comment section of the upload page for just that, comments. Any support issues I would like to have them sent to me via DM.
