Bluebird Simulations has announced it is developing the 757-200/300 for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
The aircraft is currently in a relatively early stage of development, with a planned release in the first half of 2023.
Shervin Ahoo, head of the 757-200/300 development team explained: "Forty years ago today, the 757 first took to the skies, so we figured it would be a good to day to announce our first project for MSFS. Over the last several months, we have been working hard on this project but there is still a long way to go. Our team consists of four dedicated members with decades of combined experience. This includes a programmer with over 20 years of experience, two model designers and an airline pilot. In addition, we are very fortunate to have Just Flight behind this project. With our combined experience, we are committed to making this plane a great experience for all simmers."
The 757-200/300 will be an all-new MSFS-native aircraft that will take full advantage of the SDK to create a visually stunning and incredibly immersive simulation of the 757-200 and -300. The aim is to ensure the aircraft is accessible to simmers of all experience levels, with a significant jump in systems depth versus the MSFS airliners, providing an authentic 757 flight deck experience.
