FlightFactor and StepToSky announced their newest model – 757-200v2, which incorporates all the latest developments the group has created in the last years and is the top of our airliner professional line.
The aircraft will replace the existing 757 currently on offer and is designed for X-Plane 10 and 11 with full compatibility expected by X-Plane 11.1. Existing customers who own the current 757 will be offered a discount to the new model.
Full list of features:

• Working instrument comparators.
• Triple IRS and triple symbol generator systems with realistic instrument source switching.
• Dual air-data computers with custom failure modes and source switching.
• Independent NAV and ILS receivers.
• Realistic inertial and radio position updating, you can see the individual inaccuracies of those systems.
• Triple-channel autopilot with realistic dependencies.
• Fail operational and fail passive autoland with mode degradations based on system failures.
• Load company routes generated by Professional Flight Planner X (or other compatible programs) directly into the FMC.
• FMC can be used on external touchscreen or tablet, optimized for the Retina iPad.
Custom Systems and Failure model
• Detailed and deep simulation of almost every system in the real aircraft.
• Custom air and pressure system.
• Electrical system with all AC and DC busses modelled – see which system depends on which bus.
• Hydraulic system that uses a little fluid when treated correctly and a lot of fluid if used incorrectly.
• Multistage custom failure system – over 200 more failures than X-Plane. (Exclusive feature)
• Ability to fix failure by following proper procedure.
• Persistent failure and maintenance system – aircraft wear and misuse will carry over to your next flight.
Warning system and radars (Exclusive feature)
• Fully functional GPWS with all the modes the real plane has.
• Fully functional terrain radar, with custom database (just like the real plane), a look-ahead warning system and many other features.
• Weather radar that works like the real thing. Including tilt and gain functions, ground clutter, turbulence detection and windshear prediction.
3D Modelling
• Accurate dimensions based on exterior drawings provided by Boeing.
• Very detailed exterior modelling with high resolution textures.
• Very high resolution 3D cockpit with every switch functional.
• Spatial rain simulation with high detail.
• Very detailed passenger cabin graphics including galleys.
• Additional graphic features: real working oxygen masks both in cockpit and cabin, dynamic window blinds that react to sunlight etc.
• New and improved wingflex.
Special effects (Exclusive features)
• Multilayer dynamic reflections on all glass objects.
• Glow effects on screens
• Reflective metal and plastic objects in the cockpit.
• Glossy exterior that reflects the outside.
• XP weather enhancements like custom windshear.
Custom Sounds (Exclusive features)
