Do any of you have an opion if I should buy the CS767? I have the CS757 and enjoy it very much. Is the 767 different enough to justify purchasing?

IMO both planes are very similar. It's a case of whether you prefer the 767-300 with it's range of ~6000nm or the 757-200 with it's range ~3600nm. If you prefer long haul flights then the 767 does it. I have done many 12+ hour flights in the 767-300 (and the 767-200, range ~6500nm, which is my favourite) and a lot of 6-7 hour flights in the 757-200.

I hope you find this information helpful in making a decision.

Note: Either way I don't think you will be disappointed.

I have both.  It is nice to be able to move from a medium haul to a long haul depending on what I feel like flying without having to re-learn a whole new airplane.  When I moved to a new computer, what were the first two planes I installed?  Captain Sim 757 and 767.

I have both planes. I prefer the 767 simply because the speedbrakes are more effective. I can leave the plane in the LNAV and VNAV down to about 4-5000 ASL. The 757 I have to disengage VNAV and start the descent using V/S. I don't know if it is a problem with the model or my installation. Whatever, they are both great planes. You would enjoy a 767.

I use the 767 for short haul flights a lot. I do flights for family trips from KJAX to KATL 4-5 times a year and Delta uses 767's on the route and its a great aircraft. I am waiting on the new update for 757 and see what that brings.

I have both - 757 and 767. If you need long-haul aircraft, you should definitely buy 767. I use 757 for short and medium routes. 767 is much better for transatlantic hauls. Both planes have the same cockpits, so there is not much to learn. I'm 100% satisfied with my 757 and 767. Both are great add-ons for FSX.

I'say that it depends on what system you have...
on my computer the 757 has much better performance (around 20FPS)
the 767 has just at about 10... Cry
(can anyone explane why it dosn't change, even if i use the ace to turn the cabin off, please?)

if your computer is "good" enough then i'd take the 767, because it has a full virtual cabin, and much more functions in the ACE.

The 767 has a longer range, and has different options on the overhead. It all really depends on what kind of flying you do imo, but I enjoy both planes.
