As far as I know, these are the only 757's available for FSX at the moment. I have the QWing version, it is very well done. How does the CS version compare? I have taken a look at the CS website at the screen shots and the textures look great, but that doesn't indicate how it flies, of course.

 

Thanks, Bruce.

I have both, and they're both good for what they offer.

 

The CS version is much more in depth systems-wise, and it hasn't caused me the problems that some other users have experienced. I have the Just Flight boxed version with the latest patch. CS is preparing an all new version 5.0, but it will be a while before it's ready to leave their hangar, as they're really occupied with creating their 777 at the moment.

 

I enjoy both equally, again for what each one offers.

 

(I have a fondness for the 757, though not as a 'steerage' passenger...economy seats are really cramped for someone my height!)

 

If you can afford it, get the CS one, too!

Thanks Jim, yes, I will get the CS bird!

 

I have been doing some business in Chicago recently, flying from my home in Denver. On my last trip I flew out on a UA B738NG, and back on a UA B752. Given that these aircraft aren't all that different in physical size, they sure are in weight, as it felt like going from a light plane to a big jet between these 2 aircraft- figuratively, of course. The old 75 just thrills me so much, even just to see the sleek lines, but more so to fly as a pax. I always love it when they drop the leading edge slats to full deployment, and hear the deep rumble and feel the deceleration on final, there must be one heck of a force on those leading edges- I have never quite felt that same deceleration force on full slat deployment in most other aircraft, other than the Dc-10 had some of it too, when the outer slats were deployed to full. Must be a sign of a thorough-bred aircraft!

 

Thanks again, Bruce.

I enjoy the QW757 frequently. Bruce, what's your take on its performance, i.e. how hard is it for your computer to process?

Hi Noel,

 

I don't see any noticeable effect on frame-rates with the QW bird, although I use admit that I don't keep much notice of frames unless something really hits them hard, ot=r if my PC is doing something weird...

I tried the CS version, v4.4 is what I appear to have. It's very nice, other than the wingview noise is very loud (similar to many a/c where we get the external view sound when looking at the wings from within the aircraft). Then I also noted that I got some weird form of speed runaway when the A/T was enabled, I was trying to activate FLCH and it didn't seem to work- but I may have rushed something.....

 

But the visuals are really something, very nice. Of for a "PMDG" version of this bird (I know, we may be getting one from Level D). It's amazing what that final piece of "finesse" does to an FSX product!

 

Thanks- will try more tomorrow...

There is no real system or FDE modeling with the Captain Sim 757

Does a merge with the QWing 757 solve this issue?

 

Thanks, Bruce.

CS757 isn't their best product, but this isn't true i'm afraid. It's the best 757 sim out there, and not bad at all.

Impossible to achieve as they're overprotected and the VC won't work at all.

Nothing about the CS 757 is a "sim"

 

It's nice looking and as you've made quite clear in the past, that's all you care about. VNAV/LNAV logic, system modeling, FDE, be damned. If it looks good, it's "the best" to you.

 

You tried saying the CS 767 was better than the Level-D 767. That says it all.

captain sim is developing 757 v5 right now. it might worth waiting. additionally mcphat studios has a lot of cs 757 ultra high definition textures as well.

I also have both. CS has noticably slower FPS. I honestly don't think either of them is thorough on systems, but they have good visuals, especially CW.

 

Also, since I started flying the NGX, I can't go back to anything else.

 

IMHO, I recommend everyone wait for Level-D to release theirs. I know they don't announce release dates and their FS involvement is part-time, but they will deliver a much better product.

If you complain about the CS bird, go try the QW version. I own them both and QW is not lying by saying "Complexity... Simplified".

 

To stay on topic...Imho - The difference between CS and QW is as big as the difference between the NGX and and the CS 757. I believe QW is trying to appeal to a different costumer group - kinda like CLS. Just compare the documentation and you see the difference. Since these are the only two 757 available for FSX (i know of) - i have to agree with NaMcO - right now, the CS 757 is the best out there if you are into more complex systems. I don't know how close the birds are to the real world and how good they are modeled since i have never ever flown a plane myself - most certainly not a 757. However - for me personally - the CS feels better.

 

The only thing that bothers me with CS is the limited amount of free repaints for the FSX version. I think its due to some alignment faults with the paint kit.They state there are 100+ liveries, but most of them are for the FS9 version and i cannot get them to work.

 

BUT - Usually CS is offering its products with a nice discount once or twice a year. You can get the 757 cheap - and then you cant go wrong....

 

Thats just my opinion..

...and I proved it!!!

Same can be said for the CS-757.

Yeah you proved that cs has some misc. stuff that works which somehow made it better systems wise than lds. :LMAO:

 

Also, I've never encountered that vnav issue you had.
