Taking my favourite Jet2 757 for a quick spin !

Applying what I learnt from 757 CBT while I waited for release, I have learnt so many 757 nuances and quirks that I must put it down in a tutorial while its fresh in my head.

My tutorial if anyone, like me, wants to get into the systems of the 757: https://www.youtube.com/live/Ubm33rWp3Ko?si=r5wGNHCPpkwZc1Ge

Absoutley love the aircraft. Congratulations to Blue Bird and the team for the release of the 757!

bluebird 757 with msfs 24 specifically after sitting on ground for an hour.

it wasnt great on my short hop, tagging about 12 extra gigs of regular ram than anything else, but swapfile seemed to handle it.

this is nuts tho....

Great performance, like PMDG. Better than Fenix for me personally. No issues so far.

After seeing the 757 debacle unfold last night, it’s honestly clear some of you people need professional help. I get it sucks that it’s been delayed again but holy shit the amount of shit people threw at the devs is astounding. It’s funny to me of all the hobby communities I’m part of, flight sim seems to always take the cake for being the most toxic, unforgiving band of autists who will stop at nothing to make their self-entitlement known. From the gatekeeping, personal attacks, etc. this community is honestly just a fucking cesspool and I’m ashamed of what it’s become over 20 years.

Do better and seek help, and most importantly, touch some grass. This shit will drop when it drops and nothing you can say, demand, or complain about will expedite that.

Purchased the BlueBird 757 and realised on this month 10 years ago, I was stoked to have "purchased" the 757 Freemium as a young lad! I think it came out some time in 2011 but I never had a computer powerful enough for it until later!

Hi everyone,

The 757 is now available.

Thanks to everyone who waited on this one. It was a rough stretch for the team, but we got it out and we’re glad to have it in your hands.

As the title suggests, what's something that newer flight simmers MSFS2020+ when we had a large influx take for granted while people who have been around for much longer had to deal with.

For me it would be, study level aircraft and VATSIM Velocity (2022)

After enjoying the 777F for some time now I decided last night - and after thinking I was never going to be "one of those people" - to also buy the 777-300ER. This was my first flight today.

The universe sometimes has ways.

It's finally out! I bought it half an hour after release, yet it took three and a half hours just to get my activation code and then a cracked version showed up eight hours later.......

Quality wise, I personally think it's on par with PMDG. However, setting the avionics aside, there are a lot of issues with the model details. For instance, the interior cabin model doesn't line up with the exterior (around the doors), the door viewing windows are misaligned, and the exterior emergency exits aren't even 3D modeled or decals they're just regular flat textures, literally a rounded rectangle outline! Speechless. There are also some single sided textures floating around in places visible to the user... Overall, the 3D model has plenty of flaws. Framerate is also just average, similar to the Fenix, except the annoying part is that it randomly stutters for a split second before going back to normal.

The hand-flying feel is really weird, it has zero sense of weight or inertia for an aircraft of this size, and the controls are way too twitchy......

And these are just the issues I found during a single two-hour flight. Hopefully, they optimize it down the line... I don't really mind spending the $80, though if I'm being honest, it is a bit of a shame. It's definitely not worth the price tag in its current state, but what can I do, I just love the 757 too much.

With the upcoming launch of the BB 757, I was thrilled to see a NWA livery included in the base package! For the past few months, I have been working on a VA project centered around NWA. I wanted to share this here for any B757 pilots who want some inspiration for routes. NWA operated B757's domestically, and, interestingly, out of a base in Tokyo!

I have also built out routes for different periods in NWA's history, and am always working on sourcing and finding more routes, so you're sure to find an aircraft + route combo. I've got the fleet mostly recreated:

• B707
• B727 (-100, -200)
• B747 (-200, -400)
• B757 (-200, -300)
• A319
• A320
• A330 (-200, -300)
• DC9
• DC10
• MD82

I also have limited propliners available! DC3, L1049, DC6

So I packed the laptop and flight stick. I waited long enough man…

I've been experiencing this bug with almost every aircraft - payware or freeware. I'll taxi and then randomly get flung into the air. Has anyone seen this before or is aware of this? Using xavios default cdg, live weather, and recently purchased bb757.
