Finally!

I was finally able to get the CS 757 into the air. I read the manual a bit, but what really helped me learn to fly it were the videos I watched and my previous experience with FMCs.

I took off from KATL to KPBI (my home airport), with a common airplane around here... The Delta 757-200.

Had a few hick-ups here and there during the flight, but the next one should be much smoother. What really ticked me off was the descent and final approach... but that was just a result of bad planning and being unprepared. I even forgot to lower the gear ;D

I really had to lower the size on this one because of compression

Great model, and my favorite aircraft...

Good stuff to fly

BEAUTIFUL!! Great job!  ;)

Sorry about the frustration. I got the plane to take off, but I never said that my electronics were programmed... or even on.  ;D

Thank you Barb! :D

I used these videos to learn it:

That's the FS9 version, but it's almost exactly the same. It worked great for me... Just follow along!

Glad to hear you got her flying Andy. I'm liking the ground detail in #2, very nice. 8-)
