Hello there,
I also have "Aviation-itis"; I have been in aviation all my life. I work for British Aerospace as an Aircraft Systems Engineer, however, have always wanted to fly - get my fix from the use of Flight Sim 02/3.
During Uni I built a full sized Flight Deck of the B757-200, which had every detail - from the adjustable seats to the facsimile CRTs - so I know a great deal about the workings.
What is the best 757 package/download, which do you use..??
Matt Miller,
The only package that is anywhere near its real-life counterpart is 767PIC by Wilco Publishing. It's only for FS2002, but there will soon be a PIC version 2, that's for FS2004 as well. PIC767 is _THE_ flightsim addon. It's by far the most complex and sophisticated flightsim addon ever designed, and the beauty of it all is that it ACTUALLY works as published. It's no empty promises and advertisement empty talk, it WORKS!
I'm a long-time PIC user (over 2 years) myself, and it's the only aircraft I every fly these days.
By coincidence, me and two of my buddies are at the moment in the process of constructing a full-sized B757 simulator, ie. a whole cockpit with everything working, ala deltaflight. We will have real full flight simulator mirror-optical visuals in it, donated by Finnair, and everything else one might think of. Could you please shed some light to your own project. I would very much like to see pictures of it, possible ??
The BEST FDE for the 757 is one made by myself and Sebastian Hyvönen. It integrates with PIC767 panel seamlessly. As you know, 767 and 757 have same typerating, and the cockpits are 95% identical, so PIC767 is good for 757 flying as well.
For more information, and for the 757 FDE download link, please contact me privately at: teropa@paju.oulu.fi
cheers
