Hi everyone I have the PSS 757 (bought from Just Flight as 757 Professional) and have decided to reinstall it after a few years without using it. Everything works fine, except for a small detail: every few seconds, my FPS "spike" down - I'm locked at 60 and they go down to 50. This doesn't seem much, but it's enough to cause a noticeable stutter which is very annoying. I've tried with lower fps locks, but the same happens (40 going to 30, etc). I searched around for similar problems and fixes (removing the VC, lower EFIS settings, etc) but having tried them there is no change, so I'm assuming they're not causing the problem. Also, the spikes happen in every view, inside or outside. Has anyone had and was able to fix this problem, or might otherwise suggest an approach to fixing this? Running FS9 (of course ) in Win 7 64-bit, ATI 5870 card, latest FSUIPC and AIRAC cycle. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Antonio

I posted this yesterday to the support forum over at QW and got a response (reload the saved flight). Tried it and it didn't work, tried some other things as well (saving while taxiing instead of while stopped, etc.) also to no avail. I am posting the question here in the hope that there is a larger user base here who may have been through it. I still have some additional ideas to try; uninstalling FSDT KLAX V2 & using FSX default KLAX is one of them. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Flight DL1404 headed from KLAX to KSLC. At the hold short line for RW25R the ground cart is somehow re-attached to the aircraft, even though I disconnected it before pushback. Images listed below are not posted, since that requires a third-party host, but the sequence indicates the problem. Image 1 Completed pushback at gate B 53 after cold & dark start, using external (cart) power & then APU. Notice no cart connected. Saved flight here. Image 2 Hold short at RW25R. Saved flight here. Quit flight. Then loaded flight, panel missing the FMC information, so I did the ATC route uplink again, and set the SID. But huh??? the ground cart is somehow re-connected. Can't disconnect it from the QW pull down menu, which shows it as disconnected. Image 3 In the air after take-off from RW25R. Flying fine even with the cart. Does the cart affect the aerodynamics of the aircraft? Doesn't seem to, although I would expect it. Image 4 Still flying OK but sure looks weird. QW pull down menu still shows cart disconnected (red), but it most certainly is not. Those connecting cables must be really stout. Image 5 Over Long Beach on SID OSHNN. Nice view except for the cart, still dangling.

OK, so this happens with my brand new CS 767 and also on trying to run the 4.6 upgrade for my CS 757 (which was already installed, I removed it to fault-find and it now won't install back in at all). Essentially, I run the installer and it goes through the activation point to the point where you can select the directory and can press "install." Except, the install button is gray, non-clickable and if I try and change the directory it still remains gray.I have reinstalled FSX with Acceleration. I have run the free FSX registry tool from Flight1. I have used CCleaner to clean out any reference of captainsim to try and allow a fresh install to occur. Stumped, I then searched Google and found nothing on this issue except a thread at sim-outhouse that stated that someone over at the REX forums had found a fix. FUrther research showed that REX changed forum software since then and the thread is at the bottom of the internet ocean. So, moving towards asking CS for help, I then searched Captainsim's knowledgebase to make sure I wasn't burdening them unnecessarily and I found a vague article that tells me I must not have enough HDD space to install, or to try a complete FSX reinstall. Having over 300GB of free space, I knew it wasn't that so I did a reinstall. So after doing everything it says to do and with the issue still occurring, I open a support ticket with CS and they reply after 2 days with a cookie cutter answer to go and check the knowledgebase article I'd already found (and had stated in the ticket that I had followed it already and the issue still occurred). Now they essentially refuse to help, but of course they gladly took my money. I could get a refund, but what's the point in that? I want this aircraft that I've paid for to work like the PMDG, IRIS, Aerosoft, ORBX, and many other addons I have paid good money for. So if anyone knows what might be the cause, or can remember the fix on the REX forum, I certainly appreciate any help you have to offer.

Hey all, I need a 757 for P3D, it's by far by favorite transport category aircraft. I had the Quality wings version, but all it did was constantly overspeed and the throttles wouldn't decrease thrust until way after reaching an altitude restriction. If possible, can someone tell me if this has been fixed or if there is a fix for this? Qualitywings support is abysmal. I'm using a Goflight TQ6 with a registered FSUIPC copy if that helps. I'm interested in the Captain Sim version as well, and while I understand it isn't PMDG or FSL quality, is this going to have all of the essential systems functioning correctly (including vnav) and does it have realistic flight dynamics? I've heard some complaints which is why I am skeptical. Please help if you can. Thank you!

I have recently installed the Quality Wings 757 onto my laptop, and it is registered and seems to work fine except for the FMC. The FMC seems to be having a problem displaying certain text. The IDENT Page shows everything correctly as well as my up to date AIRAC Cycle of 1509. However when I proceed to the next page, the REF Airport section is blank and does not let me type anything on that page. The SID's and STAR's also don't appear. But if I click randomly on the SID/STAR Page, they do appear on the RTE, so its like the text is there but invisible. I am wondering if this could be a problem with a certain gauge file that is missing, but really can't seem to find the problem! Any help is appreciated. I am running Windows 10. Thank you! Regards, Chris P.S. If you are interested in seeing what the FMC looks like, reply asking for a picture. Thanks!

After several days of discussions amongst the administrative staff of Chicago Flights™ VA, we have come to an agreement. Though we have been a very successful virtual airline in the short haul market (100-400 NM), we decided that it was time to expand into the medium/long haul markets (500-1200 NM). With this decision, have opened up more than 10 hubs around the world, and have added more than 400 new routes to our VA! From exotic places like the sandy hills of Arabia, to the remote hilltops in the Andes Mountains, every new route offers lots of eye candy to allow your flights to be that much more enjoyable.With the list of routes constantly expanding, we have bought a large assortment of new airliners for the new routes. These aircraft are primarily the Boeing 747, 757, 767, the Airbus A321 and the A380, along with reliable and trusty MD-11. You can view a listing of our current routes HERE, or view the new and improved interactive map HERE to witness the massive labyrinth of routes. To see the network and operate the interactive map, simply click on the airport markers on the map! We look forward to seeing you joining our virtual airline! To get started, please apply here… http://chicagoflight...VAFS&op=pre-app Please note that pilots who join our virtual airline will have to fly a minimum of successful 15 flights before they will become eligible to fly the heavy jets. Upon completion of this minimal task, pilots would then be able to switch to the hub of their choice.We hope to see you fling high over the Chi-Town sky!iheart707 -

Hi! So, I was flying the Captain Sim 757 from KJFK to KMIA. The game crashed (because of the poorly programmed CS757) but I luckily had a saved flight. However, the IRS wasn't aligned and I obviously couldn't re-align it mid flight to use the autopilot. The IRS alignment doesnt save apparently. I realized that this problem occurs only with the CS757. The NGX is fine when i load a saved flight. Does anybody have any suggestions what to do? It's annoying having to re-do a 5 hour flight all over again. This plane is really annoying me. Crashing the game, stupidly low fps, weird FMC, etc. Any help is appreciated :)

Hello, First of all I know QW don't make official support for the 757 in the P3D, because that I'm here asking. I bought 2 days ago the Migration Tool after a friend told me it's worth and showed me the QW757 SP3 working fine. So I did, enabled, installed the QW757 fine on my P3D V3.1. Them I went to make a flight test, but the screens are black, I've searching in many forums since this day, I found on forum one guy tolding to run in the Legacy Mode will work, but nothing happens, same with running the P3D with the Migration Tool opened, nothing is working! I even tried to install the QW757 with my antivirus disable, and them run P3D: same thing! The plane looks cool, all the buttons are clickable, the flight controls are 100% , just the screens still black! Hope anyone here can help me, it's my last shot. I really love the QW757, I made few repaints (Check it out here: bravozulustudio.blogspot.com) and people are requesting me to make more repaints but since I migrate to the P3D this is not possible by now Thanks anyway!

Hi there! It was my birthday today, and I've come into a bit of money. I have the opportunity to purchase a new FSX addon. My choices are: CaptainSim 767, QualityWings 757, or the Wilco Airbus Evolution Volume 2. What would you buy? Which will be better for my money? I'm looking more towards the QualityWings 757 at the moment because I've heard it's better than the CaptainSim 757, but that's a possibility also. Please give me some insight on what you would choose. Thanks a lot!! Paul

Hi guys, Recently I've been hearing from various people that HD repaints are in quite high demand for some players at the moment so I took the time to do a complete HD repaint of a Boeing 757-200 (QualityWings) in Thomson Airways Dreamliner Colours. Here are some previews: This is my first ever repaint so I'm looking to see what people think of it (Improvements.etc). It can be downloaded in the AVSIM library here: http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=Thomson+Airways+Boeing+757-28A+%28G-OOBD%29&CatID=fsxacrp&Go=Search I'd appreciate your feedback! -
hi, i love the 757 and think it would be a good thing for pmdg to do

I also own the QW 757, and for some reason, my joystick is non-responsive to this particular aircraft, but it is responsive to others. When I turn the rudder, the actual rudder on the aircraft will not move, the ailerons will not move when maneuvering the joystick in any given direction. Any suggestions???

Hi all So, I recently bought the CS 757 after contemplating it for a while. I decided to do a short flight from KJFK to KMIA. I started cold and dark. The framerate was about 30-40 (I was using bandicam). As I started programming the FMC and was starting up the plane (didn't actually start the engines yet), I noticed that my framerate was dipping into the low-teens (about 10-13). I saved the flight and loaded it up again. My framerate was still in the low teens. I restarted FSX, lowered my settings to nearly the bare minimum (kept global texture res on high though), created the same flight and the same thing happened! I decided to fight through the low fps and decided to take off. I got the autopilot running and my framerate was DIPPING TO 4 FPS! IN THE SKY WITH NO AUTOGEN AND CLOUDS AT THE LOWEST SETTINGS! What the hell's wrong with my game? It seemed that the more systems I started, the lower my framerate got. Is this normal? I have other payware aircraft but noticed no real difference in framerate. I know the CS757 can be a b**** to run, but I didn't know it was this bad! My systems OK: i5 3330 @ 3GHz (3.2 turbo... i think) GT 630 (going to upgrade to a 750 eventually) 1TB HDD 6GB RAM It's kinda hard for me to get the money to upgrade considering i'm only 15. Plus, there are other people with worse PCs than mine that run it at better fps... with REX and other addons. Any ideas? Any help is appreciated :3

Hi all, I recently got the QualityWings 757 and am happy with it, but I need some help with the FMC/Navigation. I know my way around the FMC fine and can easily program it for a flight, including SIDs and STARs (as its an easy FMC to operate), but I dont have the slightest clue how to get the plane to fly the route I punched in. Basically, what I'm saying is that I dont know how to operate the autopilot on the "Autoflight mode Control Panel" as they call it. It has all these buttons like Autothrottle Arm, VNav, LNav, e.t.c. I got as far as Arming the throttle, increasing thrust and pressing the EPR button so my throttles would hold the takeoff thrust. I had VNav and the A/P on, and it seemed to be climbing by itself, but I soon realised I didn't know how to fly this thing yet, so I left it to do some reading/forum posting. Is there anyone who could help me learn how the A/P works on the 757, any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks, :)
