The Flight Director (FD) is also of course represented but it is highly detailed here, and this a point to make, as you are not just getting the basics, but the very highly detailed version with all the finer details as well. Obviously the main items are represented in the upper EADI ( Electronic Attitude Direction Indicator) like the Artificial Horizon, Rate of Turn and Pitch guides, Speed and Altitude tapes are also represented. The primary flight display is highly detailed. The one thing that really stands out is the sheer details and features we now have in these avionic displays, certainly gone now in X-Plane are the days of showing a sort of a moderated version or simplistic layout. The PFD is in reality not that much different than the twin unit it replaces, it is in the addition of the large NAV/MAP screen that gives the system it's more substantial and easier workflow. Not only do the main display panels change on the FPDS selection, but also does the EFIS Control Panel on the pedestal. This is for only users that are updating and not doing a complete new aircraft download.
Thereafter it should work when loading aircraft with engines running. The trick is to start the aircraft in Cold&Dark Mode and then the new avionics can be selected. To switch over the CRT/Analog to the FPDS you go to the iPad menu and select "OPTIONS" then "AVIONICS", the EFIS selection is to the left.Ī few users have had issues with the new EFIS Option not appearing in the iPad. In reality the original was also a semi-glass instrument system if part CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), but the latter two-display glass unit is far more cleaner and larger with more features.īoth the PFD (Primary Flight Display) and the NAV/MAP (Navigation/Map) displays pop-out for ease of use and also for the cockpit builders, the pop-outs can also be scaled and moved around your screen. So here is the original CRT/Analog panel, and below the new FPDS.

At this point it is just the B757 Pro and the Extended version and currently not for FlightFactor's other significant aircraft the Boeing 767, but the avionics system in the B767 is almost exactly the same as this IS&S system, and so that conversion should be along not far behind.
We will go into the (complex) pricing structure later, but for now this is a great addition to the Boeing 757 cockpit. and now it is here, for another added on extra price. So X-Plane users have been asking, well okay begging FlightFactor for this glass cockpit FPDS for a long time. But in reality most of the surviving Boeing 757's flying out out there on the cargo or passenger route airways have left this older analog world now far behind years ago.Īny late built Boeing 757 have usually now however a conversion of the avionics to the IS&S - Innovative Solutions & Support’s display units, this layout is very similar to the ProLine 21 system and the Boeing 737-800 but with four displays covering both pilots PFD and MAP/NAV, and this conversion is called the "FPDS" or "Flat Panel Display System" or commonly known as a glass cockpit conversion.

Aircraft Upgrade : Boeing 757 Pro Avionics FPDS by FlightFactor/SteptoSkyĪlthough nice in retrospect, the Boeing 757 by FlightFactor/SteptoSky has the older CRT/Clockwork dial cockpit, it does look excellent and it is also certainly a very authentic way to fly the original B757.
