I think there are two things you need to keep in mind when criticizing the product. I agree that this is a flawed product, and they seem to have put a lot of effort into eyecandy rather than deep systems modeling (which, personally, I don't have much of a problem with). In the post I linked above, the developer says that he is willing to work with experienced people, so I'm sure they'd gladly take your advice. On the other hand, another user posted a detailed list of over 50 bugs he's found, and the developer has replied to the thread and said they are currently being looked at: I encourage you to make an account on the org and post these problems there so that the developer has a good chance of seeing them, or at the very least send them an email or support ticket. What they are really hinting at is that their coding is sub par, and it's not their fault. They expect you to follow procedures exactly or don't be surprised if it does not work. The replies I read from the developers in other threads about the Vnav bug tell a very sad tale. Their products work like the real thing, and are tested to death before ever being released. If this was produced by PMDG or Level D, this post would not exist. If there is one thing that FSX has over X-plane, it is high quality addons. So please demand reviews from people with real world experience, it will force developers to actually go that extra mile. When the systems do not work as they are supposed to, you no longer have a simulation, and much less something you can safely take online and fly on VATSIM during an event. When it comes to an airliner, the simulation is 90% about the systems, 10% everything else. At least do this if your not going to use real life experience to make sure your product actually models what it is supposed to. The 757/767 have the same type rating and same cockpit. I will gladly work with the developers if asked.Īs for this 757, please if nothing else, at least buy the Level D 767 for FSX, and learn how a FMS is supposed to work. I am really dismayed at the lack of truthful knowledge based reviews not only for this airplane, but for others like the CRJ 200 from Rollins.īy the way, the crj 200 is horrible, nothing is correct. The amount of things that are seriously incorrect is horrendous. Because in real life, they would get sued by the airline, the pilots union, the FAA, and the NTSB. In real life, in the airplane, you ham fist your way through the FMS and it will still work, you can do things backwards, and it will still work.
In real life, in industrial applications, systems are modeled to work with tremendous amount of error checking, expecting the user to throw in garbage, and they are programmed to not accept it. When you try to manually enter in a new fix in flight, I would get the Invalid entry, then the Execute button would light up, which it is not supposed to do if it is an INVALID entry!!! I tried selecting a new direct intercept fix, did not fix it. When the Lnav would not leave white, I tried resetting the auto pilot. It would go from 100 to 400 when I pushed it. Climbing to altitude, the mach/IAS button did very weird things. The bank angle limit select seems to be backwards, when you set it to 5, it banks more than when you set it to 15. The FMS says invalid entry when in real life you can do it. Some times you are able to set it new altitudes for fixes, other times you are not able to. LNAV stays in white, some times you get a msg saying that you are not on an intercept course, other times you do not. It just simply does not work like the real thing. With all of this said, the Flight Factor 757 is an amazing accomplishment thus far for X-plane, however there are certain things that just are not correct that if I had known about, I would not of purchased it. So I also know just how hard it is to replicate the systems on a real airplane, and can only imagine just how hard it can be without any real experience on the airplane itself. I also have experience programming in C, C#, Java, and a little C++.

Even though I do not fly 757's, I do have a experience in a Level D 757 full motion simulator. I've been a flight simulations junkie since middle school and been professionally flying since 2007. If you routinely fly out of Charlotte, NC from the E gates, there is a chance you've been on one of my flights. My name is Bill and I am a real life airline pilot, currently flying with a regional airline on CRJ 900's and 700's.
Hello, first off let me introduce myself to the forum.
