Ultimate 757: End of Production & P3D Statement

Hello Flight Simmers,

Coming soon for the Ultimate 757 will be Service Pack 3. This will mark the end of development for this version of our 757 and our first product ever. I was just reviewing the Changelog since the initial release and we are proud at what the product eventually grew into and the lessons learned from it. It has aged nicely :-) 

This Service Pack is a fix of some minor issues and even a few major ones, but it is not reinventing what this product has been. Some behavioral issues that some have experienced are simply due to us being at the limits of the default FS9/FSX autoflight systems. We've gone as far as we could (and ever set out to) with this installment of the the 757.

A complete list of fixes/mods will be available upon release of the SP, but perhaps the most notable new features will be FSX sound cones for the engines and that the installer will allow for installation into the P3D platform (versions 1 and 2).

We've been asked by many our customers whether or not the 757 would be supported in P3D. Due to some incompatibilities with P3D, we are unable to fully endorse this upcoming Service Pack as P3D compatible. The SP3 Full installer will however allow those with a license for the Ultimate 757 Collection to install the product in FS9 and FSX as well as P3D Versions 1 and 2. This will allow for those interested in trying the product in P3D to do so without an migration tools. This install is however at your discretion as again we will not provide support for P3D. 

We've done some limited Beta testing in P3D and have determined that the systems appear to function just as they do in FSX. The things that prevent us from offering a full endorsement generally have to do with visual discrepancies. But it's also because we simple do not have the time (nor the desire) to work on/beta test this version of the 757 for a new platform.  

The visual problems that we've noticed are:

• VC shading inaccuracies during dusk and dawn depending on how the angle that light enters the VC. A workaround is to turn on the flood lights, but this is not a fix.
• Displays not properly illuminating during night flight depending on the order in which the aircraft is loaded into the sim (i.e. load directly into night mode all ok. Load into day mode and no good, unless you load a P3D acft prior).

More info as it becomes available as this SP is currently in the final stages of testing. Thanks for those of you who have remained patient with this Service Pack. 

P.S. - Boeing may have thrown away the tooling & jigs for the real 757, but we're keeping ours ;-)

To the entire crew that developed this bird, I give you a big thanks! A 757 was an aircraft that was very much needed in the FSX community. You guys have given us a good replication of this powerful aircraft, even though this was your very first high quality add-on you guys made!

thank you very much, i myself am very much looking forward to the update and the p3d compatability,this is still my fav bird next to the 146 collection, and very much looking forward to the 737 and 787, i just hope it has the startup and shut down option like like the 146 and 787 currently have, again thank you.

i will be looking everyday for the update for this, already check several times a week about info on the 737 and 787.

No fix for this, and no plans to address it our focus right now is on the QW787 product.

Today I purchased the QW757 installed in PD3 and after installed, P3D wont run anymore. I uninstalled QW 757 and P3D runs fine. Any idea why I`m having this problem?

If you have P3D V4, then the 757 is not compatible due it being 32bit and V4 is 64bit.

They announced the upgrade of both the 757 and the 146 to v4 on Facebook.

Just bought this a few days ago and it doesnt work. Goes into a steep climb and stalls   the FMC is useless altogether . Bought it for P3DV4 and it is a big disappointment   None of my gauges will work in this have to use the cockpit ones to change anything , wont follow a flight plan at all or a heading for that matter and I have tried everything
