Boeing 757 for Microsoft Flight Simulator Gets New Screenshots and Dev Update
Bluebird Simulations released new screenshots of its upcoming Boeing 757, alongside a brief development update, which you can read below.
Interestingly, some of the screenshots show working circuit breakers.
“2025 had its ups and downs and no release but ultimately, we have made a TON of progress on the 757 in the past year. We can comfortably say that 2026 will finally be the release year of the 757 for FS2020/2024. We won’t drill down to a specific month or quarter just yet however.
I’m going to make a 10-20 min update video at the end of this month giving a high-level overview of the progress along with other updates. After that, there will just be one more update video where we will announce the release and go into depth on the many features of the BBS 757.
We’ve also started working on a native package for FS2024 that will be a free update at some point after the initial release. There is a lot to learn so it is very hard at this stage to know how long it will take to complete the native version. All our future projects starting with the 757 freighter will be for FS2024 only.”
