BluebirdSim Small Update 757


Recommended Posts

From what I know the systems are actually pretty different on the 757 and 767, at least much more different than what many think. The common type rating comes from the cockpit being virtually the same except for some things like fuel jettison capability and the operation of it being much the same. But under the hood the 757 and 767 are rather different.

OK.  My point is, due to the similarities, there is still a development advantage there in terms of time.  They will have a good basis to go from the 757 cockpit to the 767 cockpit without starting from scratch.

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

As long as I can "ctrl-e" it I'll buy it (just thought I'd speak up for us non-serious types <grin>)

Which was spawned by the great work of the late Eric Ernst who was a AAL pilot. 

To me, he's the father of the hi fidelity airliners we see today.  I painted this AA back in the 2004 days on the LDS 767...actually re-mastered the textures to the LDS model from the POSKY model who Mr. Cox created the original photo-textures.
Even in this age...I think she still looks pretty good!

Then I painted this one, and laterally flew the paint off her as I love cargo ops. 🙂

Can't tell you how excited I am to get a proper 767 in MSFS...and Bluebird will deliver that! 🙂

But for those that lose patience, this is not the project for them.  As I mentioned in my video we have an internal timeline ( and a bigger team now ) to work on the aircraft and get it completed.    

 

For everyone else,  thank you for the support.  This 757 will be worth the wait..... and the 767 too 🙂  

Didn't say I won't buy it.

I'm getting up there, so I just hope I live long enough... 😁

As one example, I still haven't bought the Fenix.  As good as it is, I really don't think I will have the time to engage in all of the deep level systems it requires to fly it.

Using the PMDG 737 as an example, it’s the second jet I’ve ever bought, after the CRJ. Boy can be setup to start in turnaround mode. Heck, you could run through the full startup on the 737 until just before push and save it right there if you wanted to, and have a two-minute start every time. Or you can start it cold and dark and leave the inertial nav systems on realistic startup and take an hour to get going. Up to you. But you can work it where you get exactly whatever start you want. Even the CRJ has a ready for push mode.

I wasn't going to bother with the 757 due to it's advertised  middle of the road status , but in light of this new information and terms like " high fidelity " and "for  hard core simmers" I'm now on the hook like a fat trout !

The 75 and 76 are day 1 purchases for me.

And me! Although I’m looking forward to the 777, and perhaps the max (I fly the wings off the 737NG as much as I can), the 757 will easily replace all of those in my hangar if it’s as good as promised. Can’t wait.

I know. I just thought I'd point out the two are pretty different.

Totally agree. The 777 is a stunning aircraft, but it’s unlikely that I’m going to do 10+ hour long hauls with any regularity. I LOVE the 737NG, but sometimes I want to go a bit longer than 3-4 hours. The 75/76 are perfect. The sweet spot.

Yes the most impressive sleek beautyful sharp-looking airliner ever designed! With fully functional circuit breakers. Is there anything to convince the developers to still keep up with their plane to recreate the avionics bay? The electronics and computer section and the turbines is for example one of the highlights of the Apache so it would be wonderful to see this some day in the flight sim too. In some aircraft the avionics bay can be entered via the cockpit, imagine open the latch and being able to look down there. Next level realism!
