Bluebird Simulations Previews 757 for MSFS | News

The development team of Bluebird Simulations has recently taken to their YouTube channel to show another video of their upcoming rendition of Boeing 757 for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This time, the team has showcased the DME Arc departure out of Fuerteventura. Bluebird Simulations 757’s autopilot can easily follow the given route.

The six-minute-long video shows namely the DME Arc departure. However, we can get more information about this upcoming aircraft from this video as well.

Speaking of the sounds, there is still no custom soundpack as of right now. Despite the aircraft being deeply work in progress, it seems that it already can do basic things, important for flying from point A to point B. Speaking of the cockpit textures, they are already very detailed. However, Bluebird mentioned at the beginning of the video that the textures are still under development. The team didn’t yet share any more information about this aircraft.

Eagerly awaiting the 757. It was always a favourite in FSX.

This looks very promising! One minor point from one who spent around 7000 hours looking at this display: The TV-like outlines around the glass instruments was not actually there on any version I flew (AA). Small point, and only likely to be noticed by someone who flew the airplane, but probably easy to correct. I am also assuming that the low res of the cockpit is an artifact of the YouTube video and not the cockpit textures themselves.....

For the "TV-like outlines", do you mean how old CRT screens used to be curved because it was acting as a magnifying glass? Just curious for more info on the real thing versus what you saw on the video.

The rotation and lift off felt a little "light", but who knows. Is it typical to engage LNAV and VNAV while still on the ground?

I at least know for the 737 it is. As it is Boeing as well I guess it should behave the same.

I think he's referring to the grey bezel-like outline surrounding the displays.

It's very common. The aircraft will follow TO/GA until 400 feet and then switch over. Makes life easier - no different than arming HDG SEL or some other lateral mode.

Not really sure, but I do it at the 737 also, the Flight Director works with them as much as I know. So the Flight Director only moves when LNav and VNav is engaged.

That is correct, although having gone back and looked at some pictures of the flight deck that I took over the years, they are correct that the CRT's were slightly curved like an old TV set. That is probably what the "outline" we see here is trying to portray. There is no such actual outline in the real thing, but you can see the edge of the CRT just barely, and it does not completely fill the metal frame, so the visual result is not too unlike what they have done here. I can't see a way to upload an image but if I could we would see what we are talking about here. In any case, it is not a big deal.

We never did when I was flying them. However, it would likely not be problematic as long as the A/P was not engaged until its minimum altitude....

I haven't been on here for a few weeks and only yesterday, I was thinking about the Boeing 757 and that it would be a great add on for flight in MSFS. Low and Behold, I see this page as soon as I signed in tonight. Nice one!

The Standby Horizon should be Blue on the upper display, an the standby instruments are normaly in green digits when being displayed. I used to work on the B757 for at least 20 Years

Has this project folded?
