FS2002 United Airlines Boeing 757-200 v2.0!!
======================================
Now for the first time available for FS2002!!


This is by far one of the the most excellent 757s I have ever painted! I worked long and hard on it just so you could have one of the the best 757s out there, I hope you like it!!

Many thanks to David Randolph for the use of his original model.


WHAT'S NEW???

OH EVERYTHING. Let's just say that you downloaded the right plane! There are a great number of improvements over version 1.0. In that version all I did was convert an FS2000 plane into FS2002 format. Not the case with this plane. I've redone every texture on this plane to give you the maximum amount of detail. I created all new windows for the plane as well (in fact I created a lot of new window variations, you cant imagine how long it took to decide which variant to use!) I've changed the colors a bit on the plane to make them more realistic, and to give the plane a shiny metal look. I moved the UNITED titles forward from the previous version, changed the registration, changed the ATC ID. I must admit that the splash and tail lighting are the same as in Version 1, this is not a bad thing! Night lighting is excellent! I've also enlarged and added detail to the "Star Alliance" logo on the side of the plane.


IMPORTANT- PLEASE READ:

If you downloaded the United Airlines 757 BEFORE March 6th, please remove the old plane and replace it with this plane.

This aircraft has all the problems with the previous version FIXED. There is now powerful reverse thrust, which you can now also use to push back from the gate! OBS #2 is now functional! Landing lights, strobes, navs, and all other lights have been UPGRADED to FS2002 format, much more realistic! Spoilers are now functional and WILL SLOW YOUR AIRCRAFT. Autodeploy on landing and autobrake are now functional. Flight director now works. Elevators are now more effective than in the previous version, so if you need to pull up quickly, you CAN! (In previous version it took forever for the elevators to have an effect.)


AND, Best of all, the aircraft no longer bobs up and down at cruise altitude, she's steady as a rock and flies straight and level, at any altitude and any weather!!

============================

SOMETHING YOU NEED TO KNOW: If you climb or descend too quickly, dont expect the autopilot to level you out perfectly the first time:

Example:

Say you are cruising at FL330, and you set the autopilot to hold FL180, and select the descent rate to an unusually high number (-2500 or above)

When you get to 18,000 feet, you will continue to descend for another 500 feet or so, and will then steadily climb back up to 18,000. THIS IS NOT A BUG!! THIS IS REALISM! Just like in a real aircraft, if you climb or descend too fast, you arent going to come out perfectly at your selected altitude, you'll have to level out, and then slowly climb or descend to reach your preferred altitude.

Anyway, just to let you know so that you dont write and say that this is a problem.



A sincere thanks goes out to all who brought these problems to my attention, I've fixed them all! Like I say, your complaint make better aircraft!
