The developer BlueBird Simulations has taken to their Discord to showcase three different images of the EFB applications that are going to be included in their upcoming Boeing 757 for Microsoft Flight Simulator and MSFS 2024.
These three images represent the cabin and doors menu, ACARS and the weight and balance tab, which you are going to day-drive in this upcoming virtual aircraft. In the cabin and doors menu, we can notice that we can, naturally, manage doors. That is visually assisted, with the silhouette of the plane being visible, so you know exactly what part of the aircraft is being opened. In addition to that, you can also manage cabin lighting through this tab, and there are separate sliders for the ceiling lights, window lights and the entrance lights. All of these lights are also dimmable.
Moving over to the ACARS page, you can find numerous pieces of information crucial for your flight. In a systematic manner, you have all your basic information, such as flight number, departure and arrival, cost index and so on, in one place. The routing can also be found here, at the bottom of the page. The ACARS information seems to be gathered from SimBrief uplink, as we can notice refresh and unload buttons at the top of this page.
Lastly, the weight and balance menu. Over here, we can find the center of gravity envelope, which you can zoom in and out. All of the data is in pounds. However, there might, and should be, an option to switch the aircraft to kilograms as well.
For now, that is all the information BlueBird has shared on their upcoming Boeing 757 for Microsoft Flight Simulator. In the meantime, you may read our other article covering the topic.
