Ok so I have a really awesome 737 series in the Skydecks models, best I have seen thus far... now I am thinking perhaps I should upgrade Lolo's 757 too...
So I search around. Here's what I found...
http://www.phoenix-simulation.co.uk/default.asp?pss=moreinfo&ID=570
Of course it costs 30 pounds... i figure like close to 50 bucks US. Now I dunno if this is the BEST of the BEST in 757s but it certainly looks like it may be pretty darn close!
Check this out... these pix are from the site linked above.
IT HAS AN FMC!!! AN FMC I TELL YA!!!!
I dunno... should I or shouldn't I?
Would you plop money down on this one?
Bear in mind I fly the 737s more often than the 757, since the 757 is my more longhaul aircraft...
Oh add insult to injury....... they have a 777 too just like it.

Those shots look very nice. Looks like a pretty detailed cockpit but $50 is not a small price for a darn cockpit.  |

well according to the site the cockpit is only the tip of the iceberg.... of course they do not show any real pix of the exterior, but they say it comes with 3 different models and like 80 liveries?!?!?!

i agree with vegas flyer $50 just for a detailed cockpit show us the outside of the aircraft so we can decide better

I took the dash 88 for a spin saturday all day and most of the night... OMG!!! It is awesome... I still have not figured out the FMC yet, but I give it two thumbs up for complexity and accuracy.
So there is a new plane now as part of the Steeler Air family... number ST03LR "Spirit of Jeff Reed"... Steeler Air Blitz
I am still debating getting the 757 though. Anyone use it yet?

well actually belgeode iv been looking through the internet about the pss 757 and iv heard that the cockpits are not frame rate friendly and people only get around 7-17fps but if you really want it for the accuracy and looks of the aircraft then go for it!
