What was the reason for the price increase from $75 to $99? I am not sure if I have ever seen that before. I mean, it's not as if the cost of virtual fuel has gone up...

Probably to recoup the $25 xmas giveaway.

Ryzen 5 5600X - Noctua U12A, 32Gb Vengence, Sapphire Pulse 5700xt, WD Black SN750 NVMe SSD

I could have understood it if they had decided to include the Rolls Royce expansion pack with the base package, but increasing the price by $24 for no obvious reason is a very strange thing to do.

The annoying thing keeping me from buying it is that as of last night there were still no delta or united liveries available, meaning we can’t sim the vast majority of already limited 753 real world ops.

FYI, they have a United 753 RR livery now.  Like you, I'm waiting and hoping for a Delta.

Once a year,Ill be honesty I haven't even flown it yet.. I bought it because of the price then found the flightfactor 757 and 767 for XPlane 11 and have been spending most of my time on that platform

Seems to me that they run occasional 24-hour "flash sales" a few times a year, plus the usual sale around Christmastime.  Usually they send an e-mail announcement a few days in advance of those sales, which usually gets reported in the Bargain Hunters forum here.

I'm only using the trim setting from the CDU and it's way out of trim on takeoff. I can't think of anything I might have done wrong (setting up the FMC, putting the correct values in...). That's the bizarre thing, some people have trim issues, others don't.

Yeah I still have the trim issue and can’t figure out what’s wrong. I’m not using any third party programs for the trim and I am using the cdu for all payload and trim values.

Do anyone knows if the base back also includes the windshield effect for rain ?

Yes True Glass was included in a patch. Sadly not Real Light as the lighting is severely lacking for a product as this price point IMO.

I see , what I notice is that only the PW has true glass , the expansion pack RR doesn't have true glass I was wondering why.

The base pack (PW) includes True Glass and the RR is just an expansion so it uses the features installed with the base pack. No need to include True Glass in the expansion.

Thanks I realize I didn't have the latest update for the expansion pack for RR.
