Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner has no APU sound. Why is that?
787 has no APU sound
-
It was released a few years ago, and hasnt been updated much since.
Hopefully the devs will eventually get around to it.
-
Would you hear the APU in the tail from all the way forward in the cockpit?
-
Maybe not, but surely you should be able to hear the bleed air?

No you wont hear that either… we have told ipacs countless times…

No youl hear it from space🙄

Does the 787 not work the packs off electricity?
-
The Boeing 787 engines do not start with bleed air but electrically and of course you can only hear the APU from the outside. But unfortunately the APU sound doesn't work yet.

We want you to add this as soon as possible

OK, you're saying we should delay any other new feature, updates or possible new aircraft then?When I get time, I'll add it.

You should have included this feature from the beginning. You're responding as if it's a requirement. We're paying for this.

When the B787 was announced, there was no explicit mention of APU, so you didn't pay for the APU. You pay for what IPACS publishes on the blog.

Here is the feature list of our 787. The APU sound is not listed as a feature, because it isn't added yet.

The fact that such a basic feature like the APU sound is still missing is honestly quite questionable. Saying “It wasn’t mentioned in the blog, so don’t expect it” is, frankly, far from professional. Adding a complex aircraft like the B787 into the simulator and then defending the lack of APU sound with “Well, we didn’t list it as a feature” comes off as dismissive toward your user base.
As users, we shouldn’t have to comb through the feature list line by line looking for every nut and bolt. This isn’t a toy — it’s supposed to be a flight simulator. The APU sound is no longer considered a bonus — it’s a basic expectation. Sure, you didn’t say it would be included, but we naturally assumed it would be. Promising realism and then leaving out such a fundamental component is a major inconsistency.
If this logic continues, will the next aircraft be released without a cockpit — and defended with “Well, we didn’t say there would be a cockpit in the blog post”?

Finally someone who knows how to respond to IPACS because I've been singing this together with the V1 callout for the 787 in this forum but I was told by Jan that he hasn't got time to add it. That's why people call this simulator a game because it's incomplete. Why not add it to make the simulator more realistic
-
Also it needs a complex hud and landing gear tilt needs a rework, it needs 3 things to be perfect. Look the diference between a 787 9 and X

We also need high quality products

I think all planes except the 787 are high quality, but what aircraft do you think arent?

Given all the criticism, I'm surprised IPACS still has any interest in working on this simulator. You can't always satisfy everyone's .But when IPACS raises prices to cover development costs, people start complaining again. There will never be a 100% perfect simulator, not even from the competition.
