I guarantee it's bad modeling.  There is no way the wings are gonna be bent that much when the dreamliner sits on the ground.  Just wait til July 8th and you'll see for yourself ;)

Blasphemy Jake! The Dreamliner shall remain a dream...I hope they don't go ahead with it. Its so ugly...*shiver*

Anyway, I have to agree with Jake here - if you didn't tell me it was a Dreamliner in the title, I would have asked why the wings on that 767 were bent up like that. :P

Abacus products generally aren't worth the money. Most are freeware quality, if even that. Last I checked they were charging $30USD for the 787. Quite a ripoff, if you ask me.

The wings aren't that bent in the wind tunnel test. And the nose looks unique - the one in your shot looks like a 767/A330.

Eh, they keep placing false names on the packaging so more people purchase it.

I remember in 2006, my mum bought me the A380 V1 from Abacus...

"Here you go!"

"Uh..."

"Whats wrong? Don't you like it?"

"Its Abacus..."

"Crap, lets take it back, now..."

LOL, that is rather funny.

I havent got FSX so im kinda clueless, but i noticed that loads of people didnt seem to have wingflex activated or something? Do you need to turn animations like that on somewhere...just a thought...sure not even Abacus would release something that messed up!
