i still find myself using p3d v4 and msfs alpha more than p3d v5 until active sky and pmdg and fslabs planes are compatible

I have the plane and for me something that i REALLY hate about it is the fact that they still use that outdated cockpit lighting system used in FSX: The cockpit lights only work after certain magic hour in the sim. I really hate that. A deal breaker for me since im usually flying at dusk and i have to wait in a dark cockpit until the "magic hour" kicks in.

This is not the case, perhaps you need to install the latest version.

Is this airplane worth spending $75 for P3Dv4.5 ?

The Qualitywings 757 which comes with the 200, 300 and freighter variant, has a great sound pack, over 100 liveries, and a detailed 210 page manual will set you back $15.

Is it "study level" (whatever that nonsense term means)? No.

Does it provide outstanding value for very little money? You bet.

Just installed the 757 to V5 via installer, but I dont have any sounds...doesn anybody know how to fix that?

Just did a CRTL-E engine start, engine sound is available but no other sounds like switches, APU etc.

I've found the reason for the missing sounds.

The dll.xml need to be modified with.

<Launch.Addon>
     <Name>Captain Sim Sound</Name>
     <Disabled>False</Disabled>
     <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
     <Path>Captain_Sim\bin\cs.sound.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>

Pardon my ignorance, but can you tell me where this file is located? Also, can you get Ace to link specifically to P3d v5? I  have both v4 and v5 installed on the same pc.

OK, so I bought the CS757. I am very, very impressed. It is a fantastic airplane. I don't understand all the negativity  about this plane.

I think it's great. All this nonsense about not being a "study level" aircraft - if you want that, go and get yourself  an ATPL!    The systems all work and the plane gets you from A to B. I think CS did a great job with this one and I believe the 767 will be even better.

Thanks to everyone for all  your input - appreciated.

No. But thats a personal opinion, I wont ever support CS, their customer service is atrocious and their pricing structure is daylight robbery.

What's "fantastic" and "great" about it? You sound like you're a member of CS's marketing team.

No, don't buy anything from CS. Most regret it within a week.

They just released their 767! Go grab it! (Its a bargain too!) and please make a review video.
