Phoenix Simulation Software (PSS) Boeing 757-300 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. This Boeing 757-300 is a very detailed and realistic aircraft model. The exterior model is beautifully designed and the liveries (80) are high in quality. The package contains the 757-200, -300 and freighter model with 2d panel, virtual cockpit and engine sounds. General Electric and Pratt & Whitney powered versions and winglet and non-winglet versions are included. 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. Many systems are simulated, like a fully functional FMC, TCAS, Weather radar, etc. There are many animations like moving window wipers that can be seen in the virtual cockpit and the exterior view modes. Like a few other aircraft developed by PSS, the 2d panel seems to use a lot cpu power, so you need a fast computer in order to fly this aircraft smoothly. There is a separate model without a virtual cockpit, but it doesn't help much. There is definally a huge difference between the performance of the PSS 757 and the Captain Sim 757: go for the Captain Sim if your system doesn't have a 3 Ghz cpu, 1 gb ram and a 256 MB video card.
