Just Flight Boeing 757 Jetliner FREEMIUM

[PeteHam]

A payware aircraft for free :applause:

You can now download this F-Lite 757 Jetliner - a fully fledged 757 simulation that would usually sell for £19.99 - completely FREE!

https://www.justflight.com/product/757-jetliner-freemium

757 Jetliner has been created by Just Flight's own in-house development team and features an accurate and detailed model of the non-winglet version of the 757-200 in a British Airways livery with Rolls-Royce engines and a custom sound set.<o:p></o:p>
The accurate and detailed external model is accompanied by a high quality interactive 3D Virtual Cockpit with custom FMC (Flight Management Computer), accurate animations, custom flight dynamics, realistic aircraft lighting effects, stunning external textures and the full complement of lighting effects. A comprehensive manual including flight tutorial and FMC guide is also included.

The catch ..... you buy the extra textures you need at a very reasonable price.

I think this is a novel but brilliant way to market a payware aircraft.

Good job it's free :encouragement:

[Aharon]

frame rate impact? memory resource extensive? How is exterior appearance? I am interested in opinions from users, not from reviews of magazines or websites. :adoration::adoration::very_drunk::very_drunk:

[RAS_JF]

As it's free why not give it a go and find out how you like it? If nothing else it will probably be quicker and more accurate than finding users comments and trying to extrapolate them against your own personal expectations of a product :encouragement:
If in the end it's not for you, a quick uninstall will make it like it never happened...

It's a very basic aircraft, and its graphical level of quality is also quite basic, for the exterior. The VC is more pleasant, although very far away from paywares.
It's like a freeware aircraft made by non-professional persons, excepted it has a specific FMC (simplified, but nice to have), which is VERY rare on freeware planes.
EDIT2: removed a part of my comment which was sounding offensive, no matter how I tried to write it :/

For the price, it's nice to have if you don't have any serious liner in your hangar. That plane is very good for the people who like the liners but never dared to buy a payware one.
It's not good for screenshots, but it's nice for those like me who enjoy flying simple IFR flights with the default FSX ATC.

It is free after all. I have done a lift and shift with the VC and spliced it into the SkySpirit 767-200 and -300 exterior models. Very nice combination (757 and 767 IRL were deliberately made very similar) for the price!

[b52bob]

You complain over free?

Exactly what I did. The SkySpirit is a very nice model and this will give you a great freeware option, and best of all no OOMs! On a similar note, I've just discovered the OpenSky CRJ-700 which I've paired with the default CRJ vc. Excellent!

Daube:It's not good for screenshots

Thanks all for reviews particularly Daube's important comment on exterior appearance of JustFlight 757. I will stick with POSKY 757s considering the fact that my screenshots of POSKY 757s made people think I was using Captain Sims 757!!! LOL

Hey Aharon,

Not trying to twist your arm, but until 23.59, 11th January, 2017 (UTC) you can pick up the Captain Sim 757 for US$9.99 on the Captain Sim website. 9 hours left from the time of this post.

Just information ;)

Of course, that US$9.99 works out to around A$69.99.......... :biggrin-new:

[Bjoern]

Here's a suggestion for an experiment: Run the POSKY 757-200 model through ModelConverterX to make it FSX native and then try to merge it with the JF Freemium 757 VC. In theory, this should yield a FSX native freeware 757 with a metric ton of available repaints.

Nope you are not trying to twist my arm :) Already bought it 4 years ago for 9 bucks and used it as posing model for screenshots. Prefer to fly POSKY. LOL
