This Service Pack features numerous improves, modifications and a few additions which can be seen at the change-log at the bottom of this page.
EXISTING CUSTOMERS:
Please note that this Service Pack requires a FULL install. We opted for the full install because of the complexity of this new installer. We apologize for the inconvenience of having to re-install your liveries.
NEW CUSTOMERS (Until further Notice)
If you purchased the 757 recently (even if you just now purchased it), the installer DOES NOT contain Service Pack 2. You will need to perform the same download. We are ironing out some issues and apologize for the inconvenience.
Regarding the new installer, a help file has been made available to help with the process. If you are an FSX only users…then everything is straight forward. However, if you have P3D installed on your system, there are some additional prompts. The Install Help can be found here:

Regarding P3D,
This product is not developed for and does not carry an official compatibility endorsement from QualityWings Simulations for Prepar3D. Installation is authorized, but does not carry support from QualityWings.

I installed the patch and hardly noticed anything new, it’s still an ugly plane with light systems……Make the damn wipers work…lolol 🙂
I installed and flew it. It’s actually worse to fly now! The FMS doesn’t work properly anymore. This package has been removed from my system for good. The Captain Sim 757 works better, even with it’s bugs. Avoid this product.
I have installed this new SP3, and it works very well. FMS got a big improvement, and I am very satisfied with. Thank you for a such update! I very recommend this Add-On!
