Hello,Can't give you a 'spot on' answer I'm afraid. The only thing I can think of is that the aircraft does not initialize properly. The PSS 757 in my experience is one of those aircraft which have to be loaded the hard way, i.e. before loading the 757, choose 'Other flights', then 'Default flight'. You get the Cessna at Seattle. Switch everything off and then return to 'My saved flights' to load the 757.Regards,Ren

Thanks for that input DJ. That makes FS life easier too. :( Ren

I've always found the simplest method is to select a default cessna (engines off, avionics on) last thing before I close fs. That way the sim always loads it first next time. I then simply select my aircraft of choice at 'create a flight'. NEVER had an issue with any complex addon aircraft this way.

I never had an Issue with the PSS757 at all. Never had to load the Cessna up first on any addon aircraft. Load the 757 and go.
