Cool.  What's this fix to a fix, to a fix, to a fix...

Also, I'm only seeing 1404 for the 757PW.  Do you anything about the other 757s?  The F,-300, and RR.

Thanks.

Hello Jim:

I am a newcomer to CS 757 and like what I see so far. I've flown a number of flights and have 2 nagging issues I don't understand and would appreciate any light you can shed. I am running the latest 1.4 level, having just downloaded it yesterday.

1. I do not hear v1, Rotate, v2, or any callouts at all on approach. Isn't there supposed to be such? All other sounds seem fine in the cockpit, switches, buttons, etc.

2. I can't seem to get the terrain display to work. I see the callout on the HSI but no terrain. And I just flew into RNO with lotsa terrain.

Grateful for any help or pointers.

Rick

You will only hear that at takeoff.

Most 757's have no radar for terrain.  But, when I click on the Terrain button, I get it showing up.  Click it up for weather and the weather shows up.

I also got the sounds telling me the various altitudes on approach.

Thanks Jim. I guess I need another re-install. I like the Capt Sim stuff so far but I have needed multiple reinstalls to get everything to work.

Thanks

Is the Captain Sim 757 worth it if I have the QW 757? And how do they compare with the exception of visuals?

Clicking on the Weather first and click again for Terrain.  Then move display distance to say miles.  This is just a gauge so you have it installed.

The CS757 was released recently and developed for P3Dv4.  The QW757 was developed for P3DV2.5 and earlier and is quite a bit older.  I have the QW787 and they did an excellent job with that aircraft!

They're both good products.  To me it depends on what is your preferred simulation level.  The CS 757 has more simulated systems and in some cases a deeper level of simulation in they ones they have in common.

Perhaps someone can answer this, I thought for sure that I had AIRAC cycle 1901 for the CS757 but maybe I'm wrong, is it possible that the update/repair installs and overwrites it back to the default AIRAC cycle 1706

Yes, it overwrites.  After any fresh or re-install of any add-on airplane, I always run the updater just to be sure I'm on the latest cycle.

[Jim Young 2,356]

The repair will definitely return everything back to the default.  Some of the updates from CS appear to be just the update but, in the case of 1.4, it appears you have to download and install the complete package.  So, in this case, I would say your Navdata was returned to the old default.  You can look at the current NavData by going to P3DV4/Captain Sim/Navigation.  Click on cycle info.

Thanks for the info, I'll just re-update it.
