757 Tutorial

[Guest FedEx_4]

Hey guys, I was just wondering if there is going to be a seperate tutorial for the 757 just like there was one for the T7. I thought the tutorial for the T7 was absolutely fantastic and if it weren't for it, I probably would still be unable to use the product today. I know that the boing systems are similar but a seperate tutorial for the 757 would be great. Consider this a suggestion if there isn't one and a question if there is one.ThanksKevin K

Kevin,The tutorial for the 757 is based on a short one hour flight from Brisbane to Sydney.It should cover all aspects needed to get you familiar with the 757 and its systems.

Great, that sounds very similar to the T7 tutorial which I was very pleased with. I'm already signed up and waiting for the final product. Can't wait to try it out.Kevin K

Good to have an Aussie based tutorial, but not very realistic. We don't have any 757's down here! :-)

[Guest Trans_601]

True, but what better way to enjoy your first flight than flying the 757 with some nice VOZ scenery!

Hi Norman!! Mine would have been too much for James>since it would have been a First Choice charter ;)The old EGCC-LIRN route!! I recently managed to get my hand on a few FCA routes this one being one of them!!! That would've made my day, especially after today - i thought i was gonna fall asleep in the instruments, specifically gyro's lesson!!!!! RegardsJames

I already know for sure my first route is going to be not of the tutorial . . . going to take her into KEGE. I just pre-ordered this beauty today and for my review site the route will be as follows:AAL2205 American Airlines Inc. "American" Aircraft Boeing 757-200 (twin-jet) (B752/J) Origin Dallas Fort Worth Int'l (KDFW) Destination Eagle Co Regional (KEGE) Route FERRA2 PNH KA39Y HGO RLG (730 nm)Date Monday, Jul 10, 2006 Duration 1 hour 48 minutes Proposed/Assigned Actual/Estimated Departure 17:00 CDT 17:12 CDT Arrival 17:47 MDT 18:00 MDT Speed 453 kts Altitude 38000 feet Alternate Routing per Google maps:KDFW TTT FERRA SCABI CDS PNH KA39Y HGO RLG KEGEThis route, including the approach and landing, is simple and easy -- good for a first flight **grins**

How do I get a flight plan (routing) out of Google Maps?Dennis Mitchell

>>How do I get a flight plan (routing) out of Google Maps?>>Dennis MitchellIs such a thing possible?! Why not use http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/ ?

[Guest Knikolaes]

I actually prefer this myself:http://flightaware.com/Registration is free and you get real world routes. rfinder is okay, but you do not get accurate routes -- it just randomly calculates approximate routes, but with Flightaware you can look for your favorite airports, or even airlines -- heck even track a certain flight or aircraft tail number and recreate it's exact officially filed route.Just today i was working on flight planning for a review i am doing for my web site, and I was presented with the flight logs for the past few weeks for that exact flight, so i was able to compare routes and note that the flight -- no matter what the weather may have seemed -- used the exact same flight plan.

[Guest DLM9000]

That is what I use now (and FSBUILD). I was just wondering if Google was producing this now. (I find it hard to believe they would chance the liability.Dennis Mitchell

Very Nice, thanks for the tip.Dennis Mitchell
