FF 757 v 2.0

[sizziano 172]

So X-Plane reviews posted and quickly took down a review of the Flight Factor 757 v 2.0 I guess we can expect this beauty soon. Here is the link for those interested, broken of course.

Does anyone know if it has a quality fms? With navigraph support etc? And VNAV? I could use a nice jet in XP with all that

Lol are you joking? The FF 757 and 767 have some of the best FMC's out there.

Just about finished with a profile for my Goflight EFIS and MCPPro with the older version, let's hope the datarefs didn't change too drastically. I put a heck of a lot of time into getting it to this point.

 

FMC is great Ryan, no worries there it's a quality plane.

Errm, youknow that the 757 was the last plane that Philipp was making full time for Flightfactor,before he started at Laminar. He was always the FMS specialist since his  CRJ 200.

You mean since the JRollon CRJ

Nope I'm not.  I'm not very familiar with airliners in XP10!  I'm a GA guy.

The FF767 and soon the 757 have more features than the IXEG 733 at the moment BUT there are some items that need serious polish. The 767 will undergo a complete rebuild of the VNAV logic in the future, so keep an eye out for that.

 

The IXEG 733 patch 1.1 is supposedly around the corner so expect additional features here as well.

All these products support full Navigraph and Aerosoft NavDataPro updates and databases.

 

Great choices to have from these small developers who are raising the bar of their products and competing well.

I sat down with fcoms tripping various systems in the ixeg 737 and 767 and almost all are modelled if not all and mostly correctly , but vnav logic and fmc are somewhat basic in both cases (more basic in the ixeg) however both will recieve updates in the future ?

 

And in no way they are non flyable

[jafferhussain11 34]

you know to add to the above post i could never say the VNAV is 'basic' in any of the above products, as i have no clue how much hardwork went into its development and how coding was done, but FMC on the IXEG is somewhat incomplete and that was mentioned before launch and on the 767 its kind basic

i remind, both fun to fly

kind regards

So the 757 would be most functional for now?

Maybe though I imagine going forward both the 757 and 767 will be basically the same as far as systems depth is concerned.

Not sure what "FCOM" were you looking into, but remeber that both 767/757 have an older version of FMS recreated. It's not a modern one, so obviously there are things missing from the usual FMS unit you would see in today's 767s.

 

However they are not "basic" in the slightest.

[jafferhussain11 34]

The fcom they supplied with their addon...On their 767 popup checklist it says check rnp values and their is no mention of rnp on the 767 fmc .so that's either basic or not modelled or the real 767 old one or whatever had no rnp capability...

 

In any case no body defines basic or complex

As long as they have sids and stars and fly us from point a to b I guess ??

 

It's fun to fly (until vnav puts you in a 6000ft descent)

RNP is meaningless in a sim, everything will have the best RNP always, for ever. How would you define complex?
