B757 Professional 2006 Service Update v1.3

Items enhanced:

1. FMC including VNAV functions *
2. Night Lighting – VC MCP
3. Load editor *
4. Elevator issues fixed


1. FMC including VNAV The FMC modeled in our B757 sim, whilst equipped with many of the functions found in today’s airliners, it is not as accurate as those used currently, and just as the real world B757 pilot must maintain good airmanship to operate the aircraft efficiently, so must the virtual pilot.
During the build process of this update, PSS was given unprecedented access to the flight decks of real world B757’s and their crews. Performance data was gathered by the crews, at every stage of flight, and this is reflected in the performance changes to the model. While like cars, no two aircraft are the same, the consensus of the data provided us with these new performance figures. During the time we were preparing this patch it was apparent from what we were told by the crews that they are constantly checking and double checking fuel burn and descent/climb performance figures to eliminate the inaccuracies created by the older FMC.

2. Night Lighting – VC MCP Backlight the MCP digits

3. Load Editor. Completely rebuilt from the ground up. If issues are still encountered it is recommended that you download the .net framework v2 from Microsoft.

4. Elevator Issues fixed Issues associated with the none movement of the elevator have been resolved.
