![]() ![]() ![]() If you liked the more darker tones you still have to admit they where a bit overwhelming in their somber atmospherics. Side by side with the newer v2.0 on the left and the original v1.0 on the right they are quite different and more so than just the darker textures. Your first impression is the Boeing 757 v2.0 cockpit is exactly the same as v1.0, but it is far from it. I prefer the JARDesign " Ground Handling Deluxe" plugin (right) which is far more comprehensive and flexible in airline or airport liveries. The provided ground equipment (left) is the same set that comes with most FlightFactor aircraft and look a little too eastern block for my tastes. These four areas are new to the Boeing 757 and not on the B767, but my guess they will be added in soon with the next update. PA is the announcements which I really like, easy to use and great fun.Īdditional Options are four tabs on the General page that covers Simulation Settings, Cokpt (Cockpit) Interaction, Advanced Sound and Effects Params (parameters). My failure was a very realistic "left starter valve" failure on starting engine one.Īvionics covers all the options in setting or using the aircraft's avionics in EADI, Autopilot, EHSI, EICAS and the feature list is very comprehensive.Ībout is all the team that brought you this excellent aircraft. Lower is the door/cargo configurations and you can open or close all.įailures covers the aircraft systems failure, and they work when you certainly don't expect them, worse you can only fix them on the ground and shutdown under the Ground Maintenance tab. When happy you "Load/Unload" the aircraft and all the choices can be saved, but a small warning in that the loading/unload is in real time and if you want to fly quickly then you will have to wait.Īirplane covers all your aircraft preferences including engines, winglets and effects adjustments. ![]() You can adjust your passenger load and cargo weight, fuel requirements to your desire then optimize the CG (Centre of Gravity) to match the new load factors. Ground covers the Ground Equipment, Pushback, Maintenance, and weights, fuel and balances sheet. General covers mostly global settings and four additional menu options that we will cover below and all your favorite settings can be saved. They are covered by seven tabs in: General, Ground, Airplane, Failures, Avionics, About and PA The checklist is also still in the old format and still does have the "auto" help to set up and start the aircraft and has a automatic action detection system to show you if you are doing it wrong or correct. The Checklist is not on the iPad, so you have to select that still from the plugin menu list. The original banner Plugin menu is still there if you want to select from that, but you can also activate the screen from the iPhones on each side of the pilots. The menu system is changed in v2.0 to the same layout of the B767, which is the iPad graphic menu. You can see the difference on the engines, of which you have two choices with the Pratt & Whitney PW2037 (top) and the Rolls Royce RB211-535E4 (bottom) and note that chrome exhaust cowling on the P&W, it is just gorgeous. The shine brings out all the detail even more which was very good in the first place. The dullness of the original v1 aircraft has gone. There is a new start up screen that mirrors the Boeing 767 version, but it allows you to select your engine choice and to have winglets on or off.įirst thing you notice is that the aircraft now has the same shine and chrome areas as with the B767. X-PlaneReviews can't cover every aspect of the FlightFactor Boeing 757 here as we are only focusing the v2.0 features, but for further coverage of the aircraft, modeling and its systems, then go to our original review here: Aircraft Review : FlightFactor Boeing 757RR-200 So from the start of this review if you have the Boeing 767 already, you won't find the B757 that much different in quality, features and systems from that aircraft, which is really the same aim of the B757/B767 twins anyway. ![]() The aim of FlightFactor with this new design of their 757 is to bring the B757 up to the same standard of the B767 sister aircraft. So here released now is the Boeing 757-200 in it's Version 2 (v2.0) form. It was eventually dethroned by its sister aircraft the Boeing 767-300ER also from FlightFactor last year in 2015, and that aircraft then lifted the standard for "The best in" to a completely whole new level again. A high standard to achieve but more so to hold on to such a high acclaim for a period showed the sheer quality and the large feature set that you got with the aircraft. It was for the time and then went on to rule over X-Plane as the best aircraft in the simulator for a few years. In November 2013 FlightFactor/VMAX released the Boeing 757-200 RR (Rolls Royce) Professional aircraft. Aircraft Review : Boeing 757-200 v2.0 by FlightFactor/VMAX ![]()
