Still a lot to do but looking good already. Scary climb too, seems a bit aggressive even if it is light, but hey... WIP.

I went from London Heathrow to Paris on one of these many years ago (British Airways).  The climb out was scary.  It felt like 45 degrees!  These things can go up like a rocket. 

The plane I was on was about half full, and probably not too much fuel to do the Paris run, and it was the steepest climb out I have ever experienced.

Yeah i do recall these have really powerful engines for what they usually weight. Although they can be derated there's still a lot of power to use.

Anyway, kinda soon to take any conclusions, it looks good, it's a 757 and very welcome.

The 757 is indeed a rocket disguised as an airplane!

The incredible power of a 757 is half the fun!

The 757 is famous for it and I used to love going on my holiday in one. In fact, the first plane I ever went on was a 757 and I flew on many over the years. It remains my favourite airliner for all sorts of reasons. It used to look beautiful in the blue and white Britannia livery.

over the years I've probably flown as a pax atleast 100 times on these planes being a Delta frequent flyer.  Always loved them for their performance as well as the F cabin.  Jetway connects at door 2.  So it seems private in first.

I take back what I said earlier in this thread; I might buy this before waiting for the PMDG version. What an amazing job by BlueBirdSim! You guys should be proud!

Looks like JustFlight has taken the place of my favorite publisher, first the BAe146, then the Caravan/King Air and now this.
