Captain Sim Boeing 757-200 PAYWARE

The Boeing 757 is a medium to long haul narrow body commercial passenger jet aircraft. The 757 was launched to replace the 727 and entered service in 1983. The production of the 757 has ceased in 2004. Blended winglets are available as a retrofit to increase fuel efficiency and range. Captain Sim's Boeing 757-200 is a very detailed and realistic aircraft model. The exterior model is beautifully designed and the liveries (37) are extremely high in quality. The base package contains the 757-200 with virtual cockpit, but without engine sounds and freighter model. Those are optional and can by purchased separately. The 757-300 version is also a separate package. The flight dynamics are excellent and representing the characteristics of it's real world counterpart very well. The 2D panel and the virtual cockpit look very realistic. All buttons in the virtual cockpit are clickable. Besides the virtual cockpit, you can access the galley, lavatory and a part of the passenger cabin. A total of 273 custom 3d animations are programmed in the virtual cockpit mode. Many systems are modeled, some of them include visual animations, like moving window wipers that can be seen in the virtual cockpit and the exterior view modes. Many other animations on the exterior model (see screenshot #6) are programmed, you can access them from a separate 2d panel. There are a few different models: General Electric and Pratt & Whitney powered versions and winglet and non-winglet versions. The freighter model comes with the same model variations and also a cargo loading tool. With that tool, you can visually load the cargo in your aircraft. Animated cargo loaders and containers can be seen moving while the cargo is being loaded or unloaded. For a detailed aircraft like this one, you will need a quite fast computer, especially when you're flying from the virtual cockpit. In the 2d panel mode, the frame rate should be ok on a modest system.
