MSFS2024 Aerosoft Woes
It all depends on where you point 2024 to your community folder. I created my community folder on a separate drive, so I had to point 2024 to it's location or it will just use the default location.

IniFBO!
I would be very interested in the plane when released, if released directly from Ini. I have no interest in the FBO eye candy. It offers no immersion for me.

Ultra Turbulence Live
I don't own the product, but AS has a turbulence setting that I keep about 30%. And I get great turbulence in clouds, thunderstorms and whenever the metar shows light to moderate turbulence in the area. I already get great turbulence effects just using 2024 live weather along with AS set in passive mode.

Ultra Turbulence Live
Sort of a waste of $$ if you already own ActiveSky.

KCLT- any news… KATL….
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?

Ifly max
Both cockpits are top quality.

Bluebird 757 1.1 update is out.
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.

Gaya KSBA, any thoughts on it?
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.

757 Pilot thoughts on the BlueBird 757 Flight Dynamics
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.

Bluebird not worth $80 at release
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?

Bluebird not worth $80 at release
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.

For those who don't use Addons Linker
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.

The BB757 has issues but user error is rampant
@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.

Bluebird not worth $80 at release
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.

For those who don't use Addons Linker
I love Addon linker because it allows me to manage my100's of addon's and break them down into individual categories. ie aircraft type, scenery type, country, state. It's great for troubleshooting and locating if there's a double scenery install. Creating simlinks is useless if you can't manage them.

Aerosoft is a big scam
I think some folks have nothing better to do than troll for responses to make themselves look or feel important.

PMDG: “Go buy the Bluebird!”
That's the whole concept in this country, if you don't want it, don't buy it. If someone else endorse it, you can just ignore it with Your wallet. I'm looking forward to the 757 release and can't wait to put it in my hanger.
