CaptainSim 757 Freighter released, maybe?

Recommended Posts

They just released an “essential” version that includes one variant (PW engines) and no virtual cargo hold...$29.99.  I’ll let you draw your own conclusions while I grab some popcorn.

Interesting, especially considering that the only liveries on their site at this time are for the Rolls RB211...there isn't a single livery (not counting their house livery) available through their ACE online manager yet for the Pratt-powered freighters.  😲

Argh

That sounds more like a demo version than a $30 product...

The problem is CS now depends on freeware painters to do all the work for them when it comes to liveries. As it stands now there are mainly two free ware painters and there both appear to be RR fans. Now to be fair one of them did say he has 3 UPS version in works but it still sucks that CS backed out of adding the basic liveries yet we still payed $50 for it. In the time they spend adding memes throughout the plane they could have slapped a coat of paint on a livery, 😂

Can't disagree...just three liveries--UPS, FedEx, and DHL--covers over 75% of the existing B757 freighter fleet.  You'd think they would at least arrange to have those covered in both engine variants (covering the other engine variant only entails repainting the engines in two small files).

OTOH, the Aerosoft DC-8 developer added a freighter model with its v2.0 release around a month ago, and i doubt there are 10 repaints available for it, and those are mostly obscure South American stuff.

So I ended up buying it.  I feel a bit dirty given the price but hey, i want to fly a 757F in P3D so there it is.

i haven’t found the climate change sign yet, but one thing I noticed was in the back of the cockpit there’s a drawing of female genitalia on the wall?

Now I’m pretty open minded, liberal and not a prude, but what on earth is that doing on an airplane??

It’s like they’re trying to portray cargo pilots as a bunch of old fashioned dudes that would be cool with that kind of thing in their workplace.  I’m sure that is not the case on any fedex aircraft.

Not sure the Mods would like that.

I just a search on youtube to have a look at the F 

Do a search of Captain Sim 757 F Freighter Cargo and I guy called "Top of decent" gives a review and shows it.

Its really is uncalled for. It's the sort of thing you find in a bad public toilet.

In the Facebook 757 Captains Group they talk about it there. I'm being told it's batman throwing confetti. I guess it depends on how you look at it. I personally would like to see it removed as it doesn't do anything for the work that went into the 757. It kinds of cheapens it with some of the memes they added.

Sadly rather a long way down the slope from the glamorous gals on aging warbirds to this.

Batman throwing confetti sounds like an excuse I would have used with my parents when I was a kid! 😀

Hopefully you are reporting these issues on their forums.

Just looked.  Strange drawing in a frame.  I would have had a hard time identifying what it was w/o it being brought to my attention.

Ha here it is, was thinking to myself how long it takes until the Cockpit Art on the Wall will reach this forum! Was a little bit long guys! 😁
This developer has some sense of humor, or should we talk about marketing strategy (With this price there must be a marketing behind).

Apart from all this I like this 757. Great immersion factor in this one.

Can't they just put aviation memes? Or some easter egg like a smiley? Mostly like neutral stuff but to me this sense of humour is okay. But I guess if you don't wanna see it you can open up textures and paint over that, just like I did someday to add any kind of personal touch.
