The developer BlueBird Simulations has, through their Discord server, unveiled a complete feature list of their upcoming Boeing 757 series for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024. In addition, they have clarified some information regarding pricing and possible release.
Together with all that mentioned above, a new website representing BlueBird Simulations is now live, with a new blog post breaking down the features of the aircraft. Starting with the system depth, the BlueBird 757 is going to include over 500 simulated circuit breakers, advanced pneumatic systems and dynamic environment logic. The dynamic environment logic means even the number of passengers will influence the airflow and temperature inside the cabin, just as open doors, wind, or weather conditions.
The custom avionics will ensure precise navigation throughout the entire flight, utilising BlueBird Simulations’ custom “Pegasus” Flight Management Computer and autopilot. There is full capability of vertical and lateral navigation with RNAV legs, holds, missed approaches and go-arounds. Auto-land behaviour is also simulated, with automatic trim systems. In addition, hardware is also capable of communicating with the aircraft systems, either through MobiFlight to peripherals, Hoppie ACARS for CPDLC and even SimBrief and Navigraph are integrated.
The cabin is also going to feel alive using the three-zone flight attendant intercom, and there will be simulated requests, reminders, seatbelt sign announcements, and much more. The same applies to emergency situations, and ground calls will directly function with SimBrief flight plan and EFB. Speaking of the EFB, BlueBird Simulations promises a feature-rich system for their highly anticipated Boeing 757 rendition. It is going to include aircraft state presets, maintenance, system configuration and the standard weight and balance management and ground services.
Lastly, the BlueBird Simulations team has also disclosed a possible release window for their 757. The team is positive that it should release some time within the third quarter of this year (July – September 2026). The price of the aircraft is going to be set at $ 80 (€ 70).
