Boy did I miss this place, good to be back and have internet and a hot shower smile

well I remember back when I was flying in the 767 program that I was able to fly in the 757 program because if I recal correctly they were in the same Stage (3) as a FO in the 767 program how do I get into the 757 program? How am I able to select and fly those flights. Now when I search the flight schedule for flights that I am rated for the 757 doesnt show up? am I crazy or am I missing something? The issue I am having is this, I love flying the payware aircfart that are out there, I have invested a small fortune like many of you out there on these and would love to use them. At the present time, I fly the Capt sim 757 all over, lately I just love it, and have had issues in the past getting the LDS 767 running well on FSX on this computer ( kinda kills my frame rate) so what I am getting at is Id love to get into the program that I feel would suit me the best here at DVA which is the 757 program but am a little lost on what I need to do to acomplish this. Thanks in advance for the help,

Welcome back !! smile

Michael if your rated for the 757, you can log flights using it, no matter what program your in.
If you want to transferr to the 757 program you can by logging at least 5 fligths using the 767, and request a transferr.
Or you can complete 10 767 flights, take 767 captain exam, get captain rating for 767 then transferr to the 757.

And you can fly any flight in the schedule as long as your gonna USE an a/c which you have its rating, and can complete it legally (fuel & range)

Cheers!

Shouldn't have a problem at all getting suited up in the 757. After all its just the 'lite' version of the 767 cool

LOL Terry, Ive been flying the Capt sim 757 since it came out.. have to do the checkride in the POSKY 757 which to me, handles like a pig, compared to the Capt sim...... Tried a practice leg of the check ride, figuring Id ace it... well boy o boy was I wrong, I was all over the place, she sure doesnt handle nearly as well as the capt sim. O well I can always ask for more checkride after this one smile
