Hi guys,

Here it is, your new 757-200. I uploaded just now so it should be available as soon as the library is updated. Enjoy  ;)

It comes in 3 flavours so far, BA, UA and a paint kit, see the readme for details on how to proceed on that one.

Ready to go.

Dynamic shine on the wings - not just the fusealage.

Thanks to all of you at these forums that helped - you know who you are, thanks to Felix, Chris Loomis and Brett Henderson for helping me with the Beta and FDE.

If you DL it, and you like it, hate it, of have any comments, email me at the address in the readme!

Stunning job!!! :o

That's the first add-on aircraft I've seen that really gives the Meljet 757 a run for it's money. ;)

As yet I have no P+W version planned, as I had no access to a P+W powered bird at the time. This may change in the future though.

Hi Joet,

I'm glad you like the model.  ;D

OK, as far as opening the radome goes, it seems many of you are having problems with this. All I can say is this:

The opening Radome is mapped to "Cargo Door", so whatever you use for opening the cargo door on your sim should work.

That's the best visual model model I've seen, free or payware.. There may be others that are "technicaly" more complex, but for capturing "reality",,well, it just looks "real"....I'm still speechless when I load it and look it over.
