Looks like we wont see the 757 in Q3 after all.

while another delay sucks. It is what it is. I'd rather get one of the highest quality vs an average one quicker. I barely have time to fly the other great planes in my hangar. I'm ok being patient on this one.

And a new YT video showing the BB 757 capability to land on a 5000ft runway. Skiathos here we come....

That's what a 120 knot Vref will do for you...

Of course, takeoff performance tends to be more limiting than landing performance, except that the 757 is ridiculously overpowered too. I suspect it climbs better on one than an A340-300 does on all four...

Gotta love the 75. Hope it won't be too long now...

Yikes another delay with this bird... I hope it's to make it 2024 native.

But yes I rather a polished release

not to dereail the thread but I think the -400 would be much more popular than the -8

Could be, but I think he’s talking about the 741, instead.

In that case, definitely so for me 👍

Tho you bring up a good point - I wonder if a PMDG -8 would sell as well as the 744 (controlled for the MSFS Default, of course)…?

The -400 was the pinnacle of 747 evolution 🥰

I meant to refer to both the 400 and the -8. Because I believe they are doing the oldest variants first right?

I'm at the point now where I find there are two types of aircraft DEV in this hobby. The ones who hype up their product and then really under deliver, or the ones who say little, give occasional breadcrumbs, and then never seem to be able to deliver. Personally, I would rather none of them say anything until release day. BOOM! Here is our product.

It has to make me wonder if the 757 is released with bug(s), how long will it take them to release a fix?

They are developing the 100 and the 400 at the same time.

Don’t hold your breath for the native 24 version… this delay is apparently just about backend infrastructure and DRM stuff.

BB 757 not gonna make Q3 release date?

(Shows shocked face)

What a joke

Have been waiting for years.. can wait a few more months. On top of that im busy with the MD11F (Loving it!) so they can take their time.

Could someone post another link to where this info is coming from? This doesn't work for me and I am not seeing it on their website or Facebook page. Thanks.

it's from their discord
