The 787 is installed but there is no cockpit or it won't show upXboxPC787-8 / 787-9
- The Bravoairspace 787s use the Asobo 787-10 cockpit, which comes with Premium Deluxe. Make sure the 787-10 is installed.
- Fully restart the simulator after installing a new aircraft.
- MSFS 2024: enable the MSFS 2020 Asobo 787-10: Marketplace → Library, search “787-10”, choose “MSFS 2020 ASOBO-AIRCRAFT-B787-10” and press Enable, then restart. Full guide.
Pink or missing textures after an updateXboxPC787-8 / 787-9
- Uninstall the aircraft.
- Clear the cache (see clearing the cache).
- Restart the game on PC, or restart the console.
- Start the game, enable the aircraft and stream it, then load it and check it looks normal.
The sim crashes on startup, is stuck on “Customize identity”, or Marketplace add-ons won't loadXboxAll add-ons
- Press the Xbox button → My games & apps → See all.
- Highlight Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, press Menu → Manage game and add-ons → Saved data.
- Select Reserved space → Clear reserved space. Do not delete the file with your gamertag: it holds your settings, logbook and career.
- Hold the console power button for 10 seconds to shut it down fully, then start it and the game. The first load will take longer while the cache rebuilds.
PS5: performance or GPU problems with the aircraftPS5All add-ons
If you downloaded the aircraft on PS5, switch to streaming it:
- Uninstall (remove) the downloaded aircraft.
- Restart the console completely.
- Open the sim and stream the aircraft instead of downloading it.
More PS5 guidance is coming soon.
The sim crashes (CTD) when loading the aircraftPCAll add-ons
- Update the sim and the add-on to the latest version in the Content Manager.
- Delete the rolling cache (see clearing the cache).
- Temporarily move other add-ons out of the Community folder and test again; a conflicting mod is a common cause.
- Update your graphics driver. If it still crashes, note what you were doing and email us.
My flight path isn't shown on the MFDPC787-8 / 787-9
- Close the sim completely.
- Go to the rolling cache location, by default
C:\Users\[you]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\(or the folder set in Options → General Options → Data). - Delete
ROLLINGCACHE.CCC; the sim rebuilds it on the next launch. Scenery, aircraft and settings are not affected. - If it still happens, try turning the rolling cache off as a test.
The cockpit screens stay offXboxPC787-8 / 787-9
- Make sure the AVIONICS binding isn't assigned to any button, key or switch on your controller, keyboard or hardware.
- Battery on and external power or APU running, then wait a few seconds for the displays to start.
Stutters or low frame rateXboxPC787-8 / 787-9
- Use the optimized version of each airline: every livery has a no-cabin version with lighter textures.
- Close other apps and games; on console restart it first.
- Lower or turn off real-world and ground traffic.
- Console: try 1080p 60 fps instead of 4K 120, performance mode, textures Medium, shadows and clouds Low or Medium, motion blur off.
- Clear the cache and use a wired internet connection if you stream scenery.
I can't enter the zero fuel weight (ZFW)XboxPC787-8 / 787-9
- Check the units: if SimBrief is in kg and the aircraft in lb (or the other way round), the weight looks far too high.
- The sim's 787 won't accept a ZFW above about 192 tonnes. Plan within the limits in SimBrief.
- Use the unit converter to double-check.
The nose keeps pitching up after takeoffXboxPC787-8 / 787-9
That's how the 787 is designed. Its fly-by-wire trims to a trim speed, which is set to V2 at takeoff. As you accelerate past it, the system adds nose-up force.
- Trim nose-down as you accelerate; you are raising the trim speed, not moving the stabilizer directly.
- Keep trimming as your speed changes, like a conventional aircraft.
SimBrief isn't syncing with the EFBXboxPC787-8 / 787-9
- On the EFB, tap the cog (top right) and enter your SimBrief ID (a number, not your username).
- In SimBrief, choose the Bravoairspace 787 airframe, generate the flight plan, then reload it on the EFB.
- Make sure the sim has internet access. On console, a keyboard makes typing the ID easier.
A Marketplace download is stuck or won't finishXboxPCAll add-ons
- Restart the sim and let the download continue; large aircraft can take a while.
- Check your free storage space.
- MSFS 2024: you can stream instead of downloading.
- Still stuck: remove the item from the library, clear the cache, restart and download again.
Sounds or announcements are missingXboxPCAudio suites
- Fully restart the sim after installing or updating an audio suite.
- We recommend streaming the audio suites rather than downloading them.
- A32X suite: captain announcements are played with the AFT button and only once at the right stage of the flight.
- Check the in-sim sound volume sliders (cockpit, cabin, ambience).
Liveries are missingXboxPC787-8 / 787-9
- Update to the latest version; recent hotfixes restored missing liveries.
- In MSFS 2024 the airlines appear as liveries of the 787; check the livery list in the aircraft selector.
- Clear the cache and restart. Still missing? Tell us which airline.
ATG: too many white aircraft or wrong airlines at gatesXboxPCATG
- Turn on Options → Traffic → real-time online traffic.
- Set parked aircraft to OFF, press Accept, then back to MEDIUM and Accept again.
- Fly complete flights rather than spawning at one airport to spot; the sim needs time to place real traffic.
- Some parking issues are on the sim side; see the known issues board for status.
No match. Try another word, or contact us.
