With the 24 hour sale looming, I need to decide what to buy. Last December I got the C-130x Pro Pack and have been flying it off and on since.

Now I need a big heavy jet. Any recommendations.  I am only going to buy ONE so I can learn it and not split my time between similiar models.

Thanks.  :)

Which one of those two do you like the most?

Both of them are very similar, so it comes down to your preference.

I love the 767 the best. I do quite a lot of long haul flights of 12-16 hours. I have also flown flights of around 1 hour in it.

I will probably buy the Space Shuttle during the sale! Maybe XLoad as well. Although €9.99 is XLoads usual price, so I'm a bit iffy on that one. I really only have those two left to buy for FSX. Until the B-52 Driver and 707 Captain are released.

I like both. but I would give a slight edge to the 767 because it's night panel lighting is superior to that of the 757.

Dave

Thanks guys for your thoughts.  I don't know hardlly anything about either one.  I usually take the most recent one in a toss up.  I bought the 727 and 727 freigher along with the 130x ProPack last sale. I haven't even loaded up the 727 yet.

Do you guys know if a tutorial exists for either other than some youTube videos?

Ray

I enjoy both.  I've tweaked all of the problems out of them (at least the ones that matter to me), but I agree that the 767 is marginally better because of the night lighting in the cockpit off the shelf.  I have a 757 gouge that takes you step by step through every switch... the skeleton of a tutorial.  I haven't given up on one and have have taken a lot of the screenshots, but I've been very lazy.  I have both and would give up every other addon before I would give up either.

Thanks Tim.  I was just over at wikipedia reading about the Boeing line and various models.  It sounds like the flight decks are almost the same.  Is that a fair statement?

Also, lots of YouTube and forum info for either or both.

Thanks again for your post.

Yes, they're pretty same (one is a bit darker). What do you really expect from the acft? If you're in a VA of some sort, then it might be wise to think long-term (to suit the fleet et cetera); if you like long hauls - pick the 767, if not - take the 757. I think the latter gives more flexibility in choosing routes to fly. Dunno, take 767  :) (long hauls are great).  

I think I will go with the 767 today and if I am pleased as expected, I can look forward to the next 24 hour sale to pick up the 757.  Sounds like a plan.

thanks all.


Edit  . . .

That was a no brainer.  I now own both the 767-300 and the 757-200.  When I got to the checkout screen and saw the euro conversion was $12.51 I backed up and added the 757.  What a deal.  Downloading now. I will probably spend the rest of the day at Office Depot getting the manuals printed and bound.

I haven't check yet, but I bet most of the written stuff applies to either, except for loading and performance.

Thanks again for your posts.

RayM  :D :P 8-)

Great news Ray.

I'm sure you wont be disappointed with your purchases. I have my fingers crossed so it goes A-OK for you.

Mark

Thanks Mark.  Crossed fingers must work.  I loaded up the 757, Ctrl +E, added some flaps, Had about 10,000 ft of runway, watched it takeoff and climb to ICA, then shut it down and started unzipping the manuals.  Looks great. ::)
