QualityWings has unveiled their Ultimate 757 Collection! It looks very interesting, with the -200, -300, and Freighter variants all available. It is described as a "mid level simulation" of a 757, with some systems not being fully simulated. It's a bit unclear which systems those include at this point, as some of the links from the FAQ are broken, and I couldn't find the manuals online. I gather from reading some of the forums that some of the overhead panel stuff isn't simulated, such as the fuel crossfeed switches. My guess is that this is somewhere in the ballpark of the Wilco/feelThere! 737 PIC. The external models look nice, as do the 2D panels and the 3D VC. The look and feel seems a bit more reminiscent of the Level-D 767 than the Captain Sim 757/767.
It does ship with a FMS, and they have lobbied Navigraph for support for navdata updates.
Price appears to be around US $45.
Interesting that there are so many 757s available right now...first Captain Sim, now QualityWings, and presumably Level-D is still plugging away at theirs. I'm a reasonably happy Captain Sim customer, but I'll have to put this one on my list to look at at some point.
