Exciting news for the Ultimate 757!

   Greetings 757 Drivers!
We have a couple of very important announcements regarding the Ultimate 757 Collection. 
We are excited to announce that the Ultimate 757 Collection is now available for Prepar3DV4! (More on that later)
It’s taken awhile to get here, but the reasons will become apparent shortly.

Ultimate 757 Switch from eSellerate to Flight1
Some of you may have noticed that the Ultimate 757 showed as “temporarily discontinued” on our website. 
In an effort to provide a more consistent and reliable experience,  QualityWings Simulations has taken the step to move our 
activation system for the 757 over to the Flight1 E-Commerce system.

It’s very easy to forget that Version 1 of this 757 product was released in December of 2009.
That’s almost 10 years ago now! But when we released our Ultimate 146, we started our relationship with Flight1. 
The purchase and installation experiences varied differently between the 757 and all the products that have followed. 

Over the past year, some of our customers had been experienced a larger than normal amount of difficulties with the installation or re-installation of the 757 product. 
We do not receive anywhere near the same amount of support inquiries with the 146 and 787 products, so it was time to make the change.

The Ultimate 757 Collection for FSX is now available again for $14.95 USD.

Existing customers of the Ultimate 757 who purchased the product prior to May 5, 2019 will not lose their product...
but those customers will need to create an account at Flight1.com and then convert their product to a Flight1 product. 

Detailed instructions on how to do so can be found on our 757 Support Page here:  http://www.qualitywingssim.com/v.2.0.1.8/support757.php ;

Ultimate 757 Available now in Prepar3DV4
As mentioned, the Ultimate 757 is now also available in P3DV4.4 and above as a SEPARATE purchase for $14.95 USD. There are no further discounts.

And while we maintain that this version of the 757 is no longer in development, we did manage to make a few improvements that have been also been 
incorporated into the FSX/Steam versions as well. 

Let us stress that this product is still considered an Entry-Level version of the 757. 
It is not the same fidelity of our 787 offering or even the 146 offering, 
but it is a fun aircraft that many of you have enjoyed over the past few years in FS9 and FSX. 
A full changelog can be found at the end of this press release.

How to convert your previous purchase?
All customers who purchased the Ultimate 757 prior to May 5, 2019 utilized the Add-On manager for product activation. 
In order to continue using the Ultimate 757, you will need to convert your product to a Flight1 product. 
This process is free of charge and you will have full access to your purchased product.

To convert your product, you will need your original "QW757" Serial Number that was provided to you when you purchased the product. 
This serial number is in the following format: QW757-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

The QW757 Serial was included in the Order Confirmation e-mail that was sent to you regardless of the webstore that the product was purchased from. 
If you purchased the boxed product, the Serial number is in the DVD jewel case.

Once you've located the Serial Number, go here to convert your Serial number:
https://www.flight1.com/upgradeserial.asp?id=1

Each Serial Number can only be converted once!

How to install?
Due to the change of our E-Commerce system, it is not possible to update an existing installation. Please uninstall your existing version of the Ultimate 757 and perform a full reinstallation.

Option A – Install through the Flight1 Agent (recommended)
In order to install directly via the Flight1 Agent, please:
1. Run the Flight1 Agent and change to the QualityWings Store
2. after purchase, click the “Library” tab
3. Select “The Ultimate 757 Collection - P3Dv4” or “The Ultimate 757 Collection” (for FSX)
4. Select “Download”. The installation will start automatically once the download is complete.

Option B - Install via the Flight1 Wrapper
You can also install the product the traditional way using the Flight1 Wrapper. 
More info can be found here: http://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=wrapperinfo ;

As always, we thank you for your patience and support. We hope you enjoy flying our 757! This 757 should hold you for awhile :-) 

The QualityWings Team
