A lot of these freebies have the cockpit based on the 738 as this one has. Maybe someone in the know can say just how similar the RL 757 cockpit is to the 737, Jack do you know?

A 757 is so different from the 737 it's night an day. A 757 and 767 are 99% twins but a 737, not even close, a 757 is far more modern. The cockpit of this plane looks like something cobbled together from many different planes, a 737 included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks for your response Jack. I wasn't sure if there was any commonality between the cockpits but you have answered my question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the QW757 does not work in p3dv4 yet. But the 787 does, and there is quite a difference to the older ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Three passengers are already asleep. Six passengers are yawning and soon will be snoring. Stewards are starting the carts down the aisle. Every teen is already absorbed in texting. Mom is trying to shush child. The honeymooning couple is oblivious to it all and is cuddled together absorbed in one another's eyes. An exhausted businesswoman is signing the last paper and looking forward to being home with her husband and kids. The cockpit guys are completing initial task lists and beginning to debate where to eat in Columbus. It's going to be a nice, quiet flight. Thanks, Maryn!

I am only a Ctrl+E flyer Gerold so having all the bells and whistles isn't important to me. A very suave cockpit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot to mention that with me flying and the seat belt signs now off there is a long queue forming at the special prayrer room at the back of the plane with the worried passengers pleading for divine intervention!

I could make a comment but I think the ploderators would delete my post! I had a friend many years ago who was a Halifax pilot in WW2 and that is how he got religion but I suppose the circumstances were different.

Thanks for your comment Adam, as in all of my flights the only thing that is filled are glasses of celebratory champas. The more the better as then the passengers are so inebriated that they are unaware of my terrible flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really a fantastic description of any red eye flight, in any cabin. The Pulitzer price is waiting for you, Rodger.

You and your tablemates just have to check what you like, and all these dishes will be served then. In most bars you will have to order the wine separately.
