I was flying an older version of Flight Sim many years ago when a friend of mine gave me a present of an add-on to the simulator.  It was called Captain Sim 727. My friend knew I had thousands of hours in the 727 and he thought I'd get a kick out of this third party aircraft.  I was blown away!  The level of detail and the way the plane flew brought me right back into the cockpit.  Even the worn-out paint on the yoke and all the other details of the 727 cockpit had me hooked.

That was a long time ago.  There was the 707, 737, C-103 and all the rest of the CS planes that brought a new level of realism to computer simulation.  Now I'm flying the CS 757/767 and cannot believe the models could get any better, but they have.  My favorite Boeing plane was and is the 757.  The plane was a joy to fly.  Sort of like driving a high-end fancy sports car.  The CS 757 and big sister the 767 are without a doubt the best of the best.  It's fun to make up my own flight plan and then en route make changes in the FMS and add fixes or delete them just as we did in the real world.

Now that were all stuck at home more than ever I find flying the 757/767 in P3D-5 a really fun way to keep up my old skills.

I have to wonder what will come next? 

Stay safe...
Lou
