Hi there,

I have just bought the CS757 and am shocked by the number of bugs, so I wonder if you could help please. I was rather foolish as it seems there is a version 5 coming up, so I desperately wish I hadn't wasted my money and waited for version 5.

The cockpit itself is really superb, and I was delighted to see that on the demo, so I bought the product. Now I have big problems.

Firstly, there is no lighting in the cockpit except flood lights.
Secondly the autopilot just does not work at all. In heading select it just goes massively around in circles until the aircraft just stalls. It does not follow either LNAV or VNAV profiles
Thirdly the dial selection is horrendous on mine for some reason. When i reduce the speed in the speed window, for example, with my mouse wheel, the speed just winds all the way back to 100. Most of the dials you can also only dial downwards not upwards (making it impossible to fly IVAO, for example)
Fourthly the TCAS system keeps saying 'TCAS Fail'
The sounds on this are also really bad - not in terms of actual sound quality, but realism. No flap lever sound, no speedbrake sound on landing, the engine sounds are unrealistic, the MCP sounds are too loud etc.

This sounds like I am completely lambasting the product and I would never ever do that. I bought the product, and I thought (and think!) it looks superb. But after many test flights now, it seems unflyable, and after having discovered that there is an upcoming version 5, I feel sick that I have wasted my money and should have waited.

So firstly, is there a way of getting a refund so I can wait for version 5 (which will hopefully eradicate these bugs)
If not, then can somebody help me? I have the latest payware version of FSUIPC, use IVAO, have FSX SP2 on Windows 7.

Thank you very much,
John.

I have set up the CDU, all systems and aligned the IRS. The aircraft is totally unflyable. I put it in heading select or LNAV, and i just get a bank angle warning and the aircraft just stalls.

The TCAS is switched on and does not work in flight

I am absolutely FURIOUS that I have paid money for something that doesn't work at all.

In addition, when I select full takeoff thrust , it only goes up to about 1.61 EPR, and not full takeoff thrust. Even with manual thrust lever selection or EPR selection.

So many faults - I can't believe it.

Yup, same here. The 757 flies just fine as do all of the CS planes with just a few bugs here and there.

And I use Google Chrome to boot!

John, I have to agree with Mark, Dave and Lou here, the problem appears to be on your end, most likely a bad install, The 757 (and their 767 handles just fine. Also there are other lighting controls than just flood for thew CRTs, On the pedestal to the right of the DH Ref gauge is a knob that controls the lighting ofthe PFD, right below that is one that controls the ND, The EICAS controls are right below the Lower EICAS display. I do agree though lighting could be better. Here's a sample video demonstrating how well she fly's.

Note: the 757 comes with cabin announcements, I replaced them on this video, specifically for this flight, they do not come with the 757.

I have the same problem with trying to open a new topic, I can't...
