For 20 dollars, the 757 is an absolute bargain, regardless of the "negative reviews".

I paid the full price and it was and is my airliner of choice.

I freely admit that I have no interest in the minutiae of operating a jet airliner.

It looks superb, it flies and I can fly it with my low skill level which is most important to me.

So are the 737, the 777 and the 1011 but if you don't like Captain Sim, the choice is easy,

don't buy any of them.

I do and this is an opportuntiy for me to have a few more in P3D v4.

I have the entire collection for FSX and the fact that Captain Sim are still there after 20 years

is pretty good evidence that I am not alone.

+1

I am happy with the 757 - got both the base pack and the RR expansion for the full price.

Of course all of us who have spent thousands of our currencies on our flight simulators

and their add ons will immediately delete them all and move to MSFS 2020 on "day one".

All the third party developers will close down on the same day, leaving their products unsupported.

 

 

There's time until then, guys enjoy the present who knows what will be tomorrow and when 2020 will be released😁

Which 757 Freighter package is the better one to buy?  There’s two of em and I can’t really tell which one is needed, or both needed?

Like I've said other times, at $20 it's a bargain considering that the 10yo Carenado baron is $32.95

I don't understand people complaining about this plane, I've had over 60 flights with it now and yes it takes getting used to but it's a really good learning aircraft, everytime I do a flight I learn more and more about it. Which brings me to pilots flying the CS 757 or the 777 for the first time and then complaining about it. Or video's where they compare it to the PMDG, but somehow never compare the price.

My short haul pax is the PMDG 737-600 but my medium-long haul cargo is the 757 for sure.

Doesn't show for me,  The disscount is at 75, not 20.. for the 757

The "757 Freighter Expansion" is the package you should get with 11 models, all engine variations, and a virtual cabin. The "757 Freighter Essential" does only come with one model and engine variation (PW) and lacks the virtual cabin. The "757 Freighter Essential" was merely released as a response to voices who criticized the steep pricing of the " 757 Freighter Expansion".

There's only one 757 freighter expansion the other is the normal Pax expansion. It has the same variants but for freighter.

I have the P3D  v3 L-1011 & it looks like i need to get the the P3D v4.

I also fly XP11 & looked there to see if there is an L-1011 from anybody. 

X-plane.org have one, I think its the Wilson, but say its not for sale. 

Anyone know why they would leave the advt up but mark it Not for Sale??
