The VC quality issue is 100% subjective. I personnaly don't like photorealistic textures. Much prefer the PSS style. But I am probably within the 2% in the FS comminity.

Ok, but you description of the VC was pretty harsh, you didn't just say youdidn't like it, you said the VC was 'Ugly'. That doesn't seem to be the case fromthe images posted.

You confirm you have no problem and it behaves like the Level-d 767?

The QW757 is not intended to be like the LDS767, so I've never compared it against what the LDS767 does. I can only tell you the problem you describe having I don't have, and it doesn't seem to occur with most users.

How do you load the aircraft? TopCat?

You mean Fuel loading ? I use Fsbuild.

How do you set the trim?

I push the trim button untill the needle is within the green band.On takeoff I use EPR mode, rotate at the FMS calculated VR and follow the Flight Director que's on climboutuntil engaging the autopilot.Regards.Ernie.

In fact, it is nice seen from that distance, but things get worse when you view it from the Captain's seat. That is how I got caught and bought it! After several take-offs where I could not maintain V2+15-25 without pulling like crazy on the yoke, I gave up!I don't want to generate a debate. Again my point is: it is a very good product, for the market it targets. Not those who enjoy flying the level-d 767, leonardoSH MD-8 0, Ifly 737 or PMDG MD-11, as I wrote before.Ghiom

I get the impression you wrote it off because of the takeoff issue and justify this because it's a mid level sim.The 757 and 767 are like apples and oranges that just happen to share the same flightdeck, so the flying characteristics will be vastly different. I have an idea why your going wrong on takeoff.Thing is, the 757 is a hot rod... infact has one of the highest thrust to weight ratios of any airliner flying. That means TOGA thrust is rarely used on the 757 unlike on the much heavier 767.We fully modeled the Thrust Mode Select Panel for this very reason, allowing the user to have precise control of thrust output to keep the airplane in check so it doesn't rocket. On 75% of the takeoffs a derate of 30-55 degrees celsius is needed to allow the aircraft to accelerate in a civil manner on the runway and during your climbout. Further controlling your airspeed and allowing you to drop the nose a bit, clean the flaps and accelerate is the thrust reduction height in which the autothrottle will switch over to climb thrust.In addition to the thrust control that is available to you, when you turn on the flight director preflight it will rise to "TO" mode attitude. The pitch of the V2+15 climb is dependent on the weight, thrust and flap configuration and obviously the v-speeds. The amount of combinations possible is endless, so no matter what specific configuration your in, the FD will be in the right spot.Whether it be a flaps 5, 15 or 20, max thrust, medium derated or very derated, MTOW, mid weight or light weight each condition requires you understand configuration and fly the airplane accordingly. That will allow you to fly V2+15 with perfection.At a near empty weight condition a lightly loaded 757 taking off at full thrust will only need about 3500 feet to takeoff, it would be accelerating so fast that you would likely have to fly about 28-31 degrees nose up to hold V2+15, this is exactly what the real thing will do. This is how overpowering the 757 can be. In fact I can't say how but I got to watch this cockpit takeoff video of a 757 from a major US airline on an overnight 100 mile shuttle flight. But the airplane was completely empty and with little fuel on board, so the flightcrew wanted to have a little fun and decided to takeoff at max thrust. Basically the airplane had a 10-12 second takeoff roll and flew 30 degrees nose up JUST to hold their V2+15!!So that would be my educated guess on why you are having trouble during that phase of flight.Our Flight Dynamics guy is known to pretty much be the best guy out there, and flew the 757 for a major airline for many years before moving on to the 767 for a little while. His unmatched skill this area has allowed him to make to make an FDE he says is as close to real thing you can get in FS. :)
