BB 757-200 (I broke down after all my bitching)(Love the plane. Could end up being really good) 🤣✈️💯 Yes, I'm very addicted to this plane.

I have the ImaginSim KATL and it works great for me. Not sure where you get it was abandoned for 2024. How do you figure GSX has been abandoned or if you're just trolling?

Both cockpits are top quality.

Our first major Service Update is here! Over the past weeks, we've been working on new features, system improvements, and fixes based on your feedback. Service Update 1 brings several additions that make flying the E-Jets more realistic and give you more flexibility in everyday operations. What's new? Vertical Direct-To – Recalculate your vertical path and rejoin VNAV after an early or late descent. Step Climbs – Improved step climb planning with weight predictions and automatic VNAV guidance. FIX INFO – Create radial and distance references directly in the MCDU and display them on the MFD. BeyondATC & SayIntentions – Receive PDC, CPDLC, and ATIS information through the MCDU. Takeoff & Landing Performance – New distance calculations in the EFB. RAAS – Optional Honeywell Runway Awareness and Advisory System. Enhanced Sounds & Engine Simulation – Reworked sounds, realistic engine cooling, residual heat, and dry motoring. Bug Fixes – Various fixes and refinements, including improvements for Xbox controller users. Blue Skies

After update earlier, in the middle of a flight now from BIKF to KORD. Flying like a champ. Didn't adjust any sensitivities yet. Hand flew it to 2K feet before engaging AP. Can't wait for the 300 and cargo models.

After the latest update, set up a flight from KATL to KSLC this morning. It flew the departure and arrival, landing without any issues.

Make sure that you also updated your Fenix to latest version 3.0.0.7613 which just released yesterday.

I purchased it through Contrail. It's very nice and captures the real SBA quite well. Even though I get the low graphics pop up message, I can move around the airport just fine the GA and cargo side of the airport is good. It even accommodated the BB757 at the gate.

No need to remove contents of community folder, just rename until after the update.

I don't understand no matter what flight stick or yoke being used, the video shows maintaining a 15-degree pitch on flight director on climb out. I'm able to hold that angle on my flight stick. Not being overly aggressive pulling back to get nose in the air. I think a lot of folks don't understand the derated setting for TO. It makes a big difference on engine thrust. It took me several tries to lift off and maintain a 15 degree nose up on flight director but can be done quite easily. This is not a modern airbus or 737/777, but old school boeing.

Nice find. But I still don't understand what textures have to do with the price of this plane. And it's far from anything FSX offered. I'm not saying it's perfect, there are bugs, but the systems depths from EFB and Acars system is superior to anything FSX offered. I'm quite sure improvements will be made in future updates, but have you flown this plane?

Even though the PMDG 737/777 and the BB757 were 2 different era planes and different cockpits (steam gauges vs glass), they both are high quality. It took me a while to relearn the older 757 cockpit, which is also high quality, my first few flights were disastrous, even with reading the pdf manual open on my laptop. They modelled the 757 systems quite excellent from startup, takeoff, climb, cruise, decent and landing. This is not a plane that you will jump in and fly from point A to B without studying the manual. But with repartition you will get better after every flight. BB knocked this one out of the park. IMO.

That's the great thing about AL, you can manage all your addons in any folder you desire and link them back to your community folder. I have hundreds of addons from all developers and manage them all with AL.

@humongodongo best post I read since relaese of the BB757. No one wants to read the manual but quick to complain about bugs and how bad the plane flies. I'm enjoy the heck out of this bird.

After taking a few flights now, I don't see any major issues with the 757. Are there some minor bugs? yes but the plane flies and performs great. The TO is a little steep but will be fine-tuned in the future but system depth wise I give it a 9 out of 10. I don't care if it comes with a cabin or not, I spend all of my time in the cockpit. Have anyone tried the auto land system of this plane? I think it's on par with Fenix and PMDG.
