Looks like PMDG may be making the 757

I had their 757 for Fly! About 20 years ago !  Maybe a discount for previous buyers

 

Oh man, I did too! I was 17 years old and introduced me to how LNAV and VNAV work. Fly! was a great sim and I flew those early PMDG birds for hundreds of hours. Crazy to think I’ve been a PMDG customer for over 20 years at this point.

My favorite airliner. I've been waiting for this since Level-D made an announcement a lifetime ago.

Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.
The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.
To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.

There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you.
It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.

Be still my heart.................. This is a nice surprise to say the least. The B757 was my favorite aircraft in my flying days. A great, high performance airplane. Sign me up.

Eastern on the Quality Wings 757.....the metal was "painted" on...no PBR back then.

If this turns out to be the next PMDG project....I WILL paint this in PBR...One of my favorite airlines growing up...flew on every aircraft type they had (The L1011 being my fav of course..the 727 and DC's were great too, but they were single isle and not nearly as nice as a dual isle Lockheed comfort-wise). 

The capabilities of PBR to make metal come alive is awesome...and when you get the hang of it, its not that hard to do...it just takes time to dial in the metal effect you're going for.  The 757 had a LOT of bare metal liveries...I may be busy, LOL.

Didn't they call that the Eastern "hockey stick" livery?  Except some were painted white background instead of bare metal?

Here (below, if I can link it properly) is the earliest Eastern commercial I remember on TV.  I was a kid, maybe 8 years old when this commercial was out there, but I remember the theme song, "...we're Eastern, America's favorite way to fly...":

I still remember the days of the PSS (Phoenix Simulations) 757 and how folks were so eager to get that over the LevelD 767. Really was an awesome plane. Too bad they went belly up.

Why? The Level D 757 for p3D  is entering year 4 of its beta, I am sure as soon as they get that out the door they will only take a few decades to develop it for MSFS

mixed feelings about this, the 757 is perhaps my favourite aircraft ever, but my personal preference would be for the big boy vendors to be focusing on the latest modern airliners in use today, for re-creating real world ops

I'd like to see PMDG add the 787 and 777x to their 777-200/300 and 737 for MSFS

I'm hoping that, if they actually are working on a 757, that they'll opt to make a combination 757/767 package, since there's so much commonality on their systems.

Flew in a 757 to Skiathos and back this year, still in use in the real world 🙂

OK so it was 24 years old and the loo broke on the way out and the APU was U/S on the way back...but it's the most modern airliner I would consider buying...
