Looks good, but $80 is way too steep for me (especially as a Canadian, that's over $112 ATM).

I'll buy it on discount if it ever gets one in the future.

Looking fantastic....yeesh. Hard to stay patient on this. B757 has a special place in my heart, and $80 is not too steep at all

Now this is what I'm really waiting on.

I am waiting for this aircraft !

This one is definitely on my target list. Ease of use right from the start is very important to me with simulated aircraft, and the 757 systems will be very similar to the 737NG. I am glad to see that the two engine options will be included in one package, as that kind of variety is exactly what I look for. I love hearing different engine sounds for different engine types, and also noting the differences in performance.

I'm really hoping this is as good as it looks. The 757 holds a special place in my heart. Happy I logged a few real world flights in it.

Hopefully this lives up to the hype, if it does I’ll be there with 112 loonies in hand to buy it.

Glad to see they’re thinking about mobiflight integration with mobiflight, should mean we’ll be able to use Winwing MCP and FMC hopefully.

Once this comes out, and the Synaptic A220 and Vector 787 are also released, for major Boeing and Airbus airliners, we're mainly missing the Boeing 747 and Boeing 767, if you want at least a medium fidelity level (ie. IniBuilds) modern Boeing or Airbus airliner in MSFS.

I am with Tuskin on this. At that price it would have to be the best airline add-on ever produced.

I was also looking forward to this, but past add-ons have proven to be less then the marketing suggest.

I will also take a wait and see approach on this one. Let you rich guys be our real review experts.😄

A really good 757 would be real nice to have.

Fully appreciate the cost concern. That having been said, with the intended systems depth, it seems a bargain to me. There are a lot of payware options, so I generally try to buy ones that are actually routinely flying in the real world first. So - I don't yet have MD-11 or The F100/F70 but I couldn't resist the L10-11. That having been said, I usually wait at least a month after initial release to let them work out bugs, which is why I don't yet have the FSS Ejet.

Isn't the ini A350 even more expensive? And that plane is mediocre at best.

I looked at the pmdg 737-800... The 757 costs a few more USD than that.

The price appears to be in line with other high fidelity airliners. (And cheaper than some)

I cannot wait for this - hopefully Ryan or one of the other talented repainters does a Northwest “Thermometer” livery on this like the first one I rode on age 15 in 1990 (or I can buckle down and learn to paint).

Hopefully many of you have had the chance to ride on the real deal - it seems ridiculously overpowered on takeoff and is the perfect mix of old school and early 1980s modern while not looking as tubby as its sister 767. 😂

I love flying the Flight Factor 757 in that other sim and will be buying this.

Overpriced. yes. Mediocre...have you actually flown the 350.

But this is what I mean by top of the line. If it does end up being as good as the PMDG 737-800, then fine. But I have my doubt.

AND you are right, went over what I paid for the 737-777-f70 and other and YES I paid for the 350. Heck, I end up buying everything like a drug addict.

The bigger problem is the value of the Canadian Dollar. If I stay in US dollars, the price ends up close to all the other Overpriced so called high fidelity airliners.

So I guess now I have to buy it....

I think that the Ini A350 is one of the best planes released for 2024. I have no regrets about the purchase. However, I will wait on the B757 and see if I lives up to the hype. I have enough short, medium and long-range aircraft to keep me occupied for I long time. I think my longest flight on a 757 was LAX to Kona, which I would do about a dozen times a year.

I agree, the 350 is awesome, unfortunately also a bit too much for my meagre system added to which it's not cargo, so I don't fly it much. As a virtual cargo pilot the 757 and 767 are at the top of my list. I also love the FF planes but will quickly buy this for 2024 if it doesn't bomb on release!
