Hi All, With all the great 3rd party aircraft that have come out for fs9 (and the anticipated ones), does anyone know / have heard of a B757 in the works - a la PMDG or LEVELD? I have found some real good freeware models and combined them with Lonny Payne's panels and that's great, but I was wondering if a payware model was in the works anywhere. I find the 757 a gorgeous craft (long legs and all) and even if I think it's one of the more uncomfortable aircraft (coach) I have flown on, as long as I'm in the front office I'd be real happy. She fits perfectly in the range between the PMDG 737's and the LevelD 767 and would work out perfectly from my little home field (EWR) on my cross Atlantic and Caribbean trips. I'd hate to see her go out of production without a fitting tribute via fs9.Thanks for any rumors...SteveP4 2.5nvidia 26001 GB RAMUltimate TrafficPMDG - AllLevelD 767

Steve, the next Level-D release will be a 757.

PSS are making one too.Dave T. .........On the lovely warm Devon Riviera and active 'FlightSim User's Group' member at http://www.flightsimgrpuk.free-online.co.uk/

Yes the LDS will be awesome but PSS I am boycotting.

Thanks for info! I'm very pleased LVLD will be doing the 757. I did go to their website and ran through the forums and found reference to the project (shoulda checked first). It will be interesting to see what PSS comes up with. I had their 747 for fs2002 (fs2000?) and at the time it was great, but I heard it did not migrate well to newer versions of FS. I have not purchased anything from them since. I do have to thank PSS for introducing me to the FMC - it was my first and that led to a much better learning experience with PMDG and Level-D.Thanks again!Steve

I'm really looking forward to the LDS 757. I am willing to bet that it will be of the same hyper-realistic functionality of the LDS 767.Interestingly, I doubt that PSS (or anyone else for that matter) can offer any "more" functionality since virtually every button and function from overhead to FMC is rendered in detail ad nauseum. I think that the differences will be in bells n whistles.For instance, LDS doesn't have a virtual cabin, push back truck, fogging windows, flight attendant standing in the door, etc. Of course all of these things are irrelevant trinkets but some just happen to like irrelevant trinkets and I think that is the only way that the competitors to LDS will have a prayer.But at the end of the day, with two 757's on the not-so-distant horizon we are all in for a treat AND competition is GOOD!!!Regards,Mike T.

The LDS 757 will ROAST the PSS 757. guaranteed.

Any idea as to when it may come out?

I only mentioned PSS because of the knowledge that they are doing one. That doesn't mean that I am a potential customer, I'm besotted with Level D at the moment and I cannot see PSS topping their efforts.I hope that my prejudice is heeded by PSS for all our sakes. The demise of the British Motorcycle industry comes to mind.Dave T. .........On the lovely warm Devon Riviera and active 'FlightSim User's Group' member at http://www.flightsimgrpuk.free-online.co.uk/
