BlueBird Simulations have shared some updates on the progress of the 757 and 767, along with pricing and a couple previews. An FAQ was posted on their Discord Server early in the morning, answering some commonly asked questions and the current state of testing.
According to the developer, beta testing for the 757 and 767 is now closed, as they have hit the limit of testers needed. At the moment, BlueBird are working on a Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 compatible version to be available on release, and some of their testers are already using MSFS 2024 to test the aircraft. However, a fully native version for MSFS 2024 will come post release.
Pricing was also shared and for $80 USD, you will get the 757-200 and the 757-300 passenger variants with both RR and PW engines. You will also get the 757 for both MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024, including the native version for MSFS 2024 when it releases. A 757 freighter variant will be released as a paid expansion package and will be less than the base 757.
Cockpit variants were also mentioned for both the 757 and 767. On a recent trip, they gathered a 3D scan of the 767 with its updated displays. BlueBird Simulations also shared a preview of the gear, with a high level of detail visible. A systems update for the project is also coming in a few months, however, nothing is final as it is all still a work in progress and more updates will be shared in the future.
For BlueBird, the 757 will be the only aircraft made for both Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, any future projects will be made exclusively for MSFS 2024. You can read more about the 757 and 767 from BlueBird Simulations here on FSNews.
