757 BACKGROUND
The Boeing 757-200/300 and Freighter aircra are members of the popular 757/767 family.
They are medium sized, twin-engine short-to-medium-range jetliners known for their
excep onal fuel efficiency, low noise levels, incredible opera ng performance and
unmatched versa lity. That versa lity allows the aircra to fly both long and short range
routes. Passenger versions of the 757 have a maximum range of 3,100 to 3,900 nau cal miles (5,900 to
7,200 km) depending on variant and sea ng configura on.
Technical Features
The combina on of an improved wing design and high-bypass-ra o engines make the 757
one of the most fuel-efficient aircra in the world. Both Pra & Whitney or Rolls-Royce
supply engines for the 757 in thrust ra ngs from 36,600 (162.8 kilonewtons) to 43,500
pounds (193.8 kilo newtons). The 757 is unsurpassed in fuel-efficiency as it consumes up
to 43 percent less fuel per seat than older tri-jets- such as the Boeing 727 which the 757
was to replace. And with the improved wing design, less engine power is required for
takeoff and landing. In addi on, the 757 can reach a higher cruise al tude more quickly
than many other jetliners.
Flight Deck
The 757 flight deck, designed for two-crew member opera on, pioneered the use of
digital electronics and advanced displays. Those offer increased reliability and advanced
features compared to older electro-mechanical instruments.
A fully integrated flight management computer system (FMCS) provides for automa c
guidance and control of the 757-200 from immediately a er takeoff to final approach and
landing. The system links digital processors controlling naviga on, the Autoflight
computers and Thrust Management Compu ng system to assure that the aircra flies the
most efficient route and flight profile.
Each Pilot has a pair of electronic displays for primary flight instrumenta on. The
electronic a tude director indicator (EADI) displays the airplane a tude and autopilot
guidance cues. The electronic horizontal situa on indicator (EHSI) displays a video map of
naviga on aids, airports, and the planned airplane route informa on.
The engine indica ng and crew aler ng system (EICAS), provides full- me monitoring of
engine parameters and airplane systems. EICAS offers improved flight compartment
management by:
Reducing the amount of panel space required for engine instrument displays.
Reducing crew workload through effec ve monitoring of engine parameters.
Displaying system STATUS messages through all phases of flight.
Displaying color-coded ALERT messages (Warnings, Cau ons, and Advisories) that
communicate both abnormal condi ons and their urgency to the crew.

Variants
757-200
The defini ve version of the 757 family was launched in 1979 and entered service in 1983 wearing
Eastern Airlines colors. The majority of 757s delivered were of the -200 variant. It is designed to carry
200 passengers in a typical mixed class configura on, but can accommodate up to 28 passengers in a
single class configura on. While the program was a tremendous financial success, sales dwindled dur-
ing the late 1990s, eventually forcing Boeing to cease produc on. The 1,050th (914 of those -200s) and
last 757 was delivered to Shanghai Airlines.
The 757-200 was available in two different door configura ons. One configura on used three standard
doors per side with an addi onal, smaller door just a of the wing on each side for emergency evacua-
ons. The alternate configura on has the three standard doors per side (two towards the front and
one at the a of the cabin) with two "plug-type" over-wing exits per side replacing the smaller door a
of the wing.
The 757-200 takeoff weights range from 220,000 pounds (99,800 kilograms) up to a maximum of
255,000 pounds (115,660 kilograms) for greater payload or range.
The following engines op ons are available (or have been available) for use on the 757-200:
Rolls Royce RB211-535E4 (40,200 lbs Thrust)
Rolls Royce RB211-535E4B (43,500 lbs Thrust)
Rolls Royce RB211-535C (37,400 lbs Thrust)
Pra & Whitney PW2037 (36,600 lbs Thrust)
Pra & Whitney PW2040 (40,100 lbs Thrust)
Pra & Whitney PW2043 (42,600 lbs Thrust)
All above men oned engine types for the 757 have 180-minute extended-range twin (engine) opera-
on (ETOPS) approval.
Blended winglets are available as a retrofit to increase fuel efficiency and range. Winglets on the 757
have been approved for the 757-200 series as 757-200WL (757-200WingLets). Winglets offer improve-
ments of 5% on fuel efficiency and 200 nau cal miles (370 km) on range.

757-200PF
The first deriva ve of the 757 family was the 757-200 Package Freighter (PF). The PF was delivered to
launch customer United Parcel Service, which ordered 20 of the variant.
The 757-200PF has no passenger windows or doors and no interior ameni es. A large main-deck cargo
door is installed in the forward area of the fuselage on the le -hand side. The flight crew boards the
aircra through a single entry door installed immediately a of the flight deck on the le side of the
aircra . This single entry door is located slightly further forward than the normal loca on of the L1
door on the passenger 757 variant.
Up to 15 containers or pallets can be accommodated on the main deck of the 757PF. Total main-deck
container volume is 6,600 cubic feet (187 cubic meters) and the two lower holds of the airplane pro-
vide 1,830 cubic feet (51.8 cubic meters) for bulk loading. These provide a combined maximum reve-
nue payload capability of 87,700 pounds (39,780 kilograms) including container weight. When carrying
the maximum load, the 757F has a range of about 2,900 nau cal miles (5,371 kilometers). The basic
maximum takeoff weight of the PF is 250,000 pounds (113,400 kilograms), with an op on for 255,000
pounds (115,600 kilograms).
The following engines op ons are available (or have been available) for use on the 757-200PF:
Rolls Royce RB211-535E4 (40,200 lbs Thrust)
Rolls Royce RB211-535E4B (43,500 lbs Thrust)
Pra & Whitney PW2037 (36,600 lbs Thrust)
Pra & Whitney PW2040 (40,100 lbs Thrust)
Pra & Whitney PW2043 (42,600 lbs Thrust)

757-200SF
The Boeing 757 Special Freighter (SF) did not begin it’s life as a freighter. Special Freighters started out
as Passenger variants.
The 757-200SF has passenger windows removed and plugged, and all but the forward 2 Entry doors are
deleted or plugged. It also has no interior ameni es. There is also a SF configura on that adopts the PF
design with the Le Fwd door relocated to just a of the flightdeck. A large main-deck cargo door is
installed in the forward area of the fuselage on the le -hand side.
Up to 15 containers or pallets can be accommodated on the main deck of the 757SF. Conversions
which adapt the PF design can accommodate 15 pallets, while the non PF adapta ons can accommo-
date up to 14 pallets. The SF has a basic takeoff weight of 240,000 to 255,000 pounds, a range of ap-
proximately 3,000 nau cal miles, nearly 8,200 cubic feet of cargo space and a structural payload of up
to 72,000 pounds.
The conversion can have any of the available 757 Engine types installed.
757-200M
The 757-200M was launched for Royal Nepal Airlines. It was a conver ble version of the variant where
the seats could be removed in order to place cargo on the main deck. Boeing saw this as an opportuni-
ty to showcase its 757. The 737 and 747 conver bles had proved popular and saw a market poten al
for the 757-200M. However only one example was ever ordered and delivered in 1988 to Royal Nepal .

757-300
The 757-300 is a stretched version of the -200. It is 23.4 (7.1 m) longer than it's smaller sister.
The variant first flew in August 1998 and was delivered to Launch Customer Condor on March 10, 1999.
The 757-300 has the capacity to seat 289 passengers in a typical single class configura on, though the
highest configura on in airline service is 280 seats, as operated by Thomas Cook Airlines. The fuel ca-
pacity was not increased and therefore the range was reduced to 3,395 nmi (6,287 km). 55 were or-
dered and delivered.
This model has 8 standard doors, with 4 over-the-wing exit doors, 2 on either side. It has proved popu-
lar with charter airlines for its efficiency and dense capacity.
As a deriva ve, the 757-300 complements the 757-200; it is not a replacement. The 757-300 retains
the simplicity and reliability of the 757-200. Both models have the same flight deck and opera ng sys-
tems, but some features have been changed. Besides a lengthened fuselage, changes on the 757-300
include new res, wheels and brakes; a tail skid; and strengthened wings and landing gear.
The 757-300 maximum takeoff weight is 272,500 pounds (123,600 kilograms). It has a maximum range
of 3,395 nau cal miles (6,287 km)
The following engines op ons are available (or have been available) for use on the 757-200:
Rolls Royce RB211-535E4B (43,500 lbs Thrust)
Pra & Whitney PW2037 (36,600 lbs Thrust)
Pra & Whitney PW2040 (40,100 lbs Thrust)
Pra & Whitney PW2043 (42,600 lbs Thrust)
All above men oned engine types for the 757 have 180-minute extended-range twin (engine) opera-
on (ETOPS) approval.
Blended winglets are available as a retrofit to increase fuel efficiency and range. Winglets on the 757
have been approved for the 757-300 series as 757-300WL (757-200WingLets).

757-200 (C32A)
The C-32A is a military version of the Boeing 757-200 extended range aircra , selected along with the C
-37A to replace the aging fleet of C-137 aircra . The contract was awarded for the C-32A in August
1996. The C-32A body is iden cal to that of the Boeing 757-200, but has different interior furnishings
and 21st century avionics.
The C-32A provides safe, comfortable and reliable transporta on for United States leaders to loca ons
around the world. The primary customers are the U.S. Vice President, using the dis nc ve call sign "Air
Force Two," the first lady, and members of the Cabinet and Congress. The C-32 replaces the C-137 air-
cra .
The passenger cabin is divided into four sec ons:
The forward area has a communica ons center, galley, lavatory and 10 business class seats.
The second sec on is a fully enclosed stateroom for the use of the primary passenger. It includes a
changing area, private lavatory, separate entertainment system, two first-class swivel seats and a con-
ver ble divan that seats three and folds out to a bed.
The third sec on contains the conference and staff facility with eight business class seats.
The rear sec on of the cabin contains general sea ng with 32 business-class seats, galley, two lavato-
ries and closets.
Because the C-32A is a high-standing aircra , it is easier to see under and around it -- an important se-
curity factor for protec ng the plane and its passengers.
The C-32A is more fuel efficient and has improved capabili es over its C-137 predecessor. It can travel
twice the distance on the same amount of fuel, and operate on shorter runways down to 5,000 feet
(1,524 meters) in length. Its 92,000-pound (41,731 kilogram) fuel capacity allows the aircra to travel
5,500 nau cal miles unrefueled.

FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The FMS interacts and directs the autopilot to provide route Lateral and Ver cal naviga on (LNAV/VNAV).
LNAV mode directs the Autopilot to fly the FMC flight plan route automa cally and VNAV mode directs
the Autopilot to meet the FMC climb, cruise, and descent targets and restric ons. Users can use the
FMC to manually create flight plans, load stored flight plans or import the current ac ve ATC/GPS flight
plan created or loaded via the Flight Planning page of FS9/FSX. The FMC can also modify the ac ve
flight plan route while en route and insert stored routes such as SID/STAR's and En-route Airways.
SYSTEMS PROGRAMMING
The real-life 757 aircra is a very complex aircra . There is a high level of automa on in the systems,
but here at QualityWings—we’ve Simplified things for YOU to allow for a more efficient Flight Simming
experience. Those familiar with the real 757 aircra will be able to appreciate some of the characteris-
cs of the 757 aircra that we’ve included while those who are not familiar with the aircra will not be
overwhelmed by a Full level simula on. Also, QualityWings Op ons allows for even further simplifica-
on for those simmers who really just want to “Get in and fly”.
Many systems simulated (Hydraulics, Electrical & Fuel Systems just to name a couple) and there is
some limited interac on with others (Bleed system as an example). But, this is NOT a procedures type
of simula on. The systems are designed for normal opera on ONLY. Engine fires, in-flight emergencies
and the effects on systems due to abnormal configura ons are NOT simulated. Complexity, Simplified!

SOUNDS
High Quality soundsets are provided for both Pra & Whitney and Rolls Royce Engine variants. We be-
lieve they are THE most realis c rendi ons of the powerplants ever available for the Microso Flight
Simulator series. The exterior engine sounds were recorded in the vicinity of the powerplants during an
engine run through the COMPLETE thro le range (Startup to Idle to Takeoff to Shutdown). Interior en-
gine sounds were recorded on board during the same engine runs.
In addi on to the engines, the soundest includes a carefully constructed mixture of flightdeck & cabin
environment sounds. Hear the sound of the equipment cooling systems and the air condi oning pack
noise of the Nose Landing gear being deployed and retracted. Spoiler rumble and Auto-speedbrake
lever sounds are also simulated. Other sounds, you’ll have to discover on your own!
Ground Proximity Warning System sounds warn you of the aircra s proximity to the ground. From Al -
tude callouts to bank angle awareness, we’ve got you covered. QualityWings op ons allows you to ad-
just some of the callouts to give you more control of what callouts you want to hear.
Level A Warning and Level B Cau on sounds generated by the EICAS and WEU systems are also provid-
ed.
The QualityWings Pre-Recorded Announcement System (QWPAS) promises to take your flight experi-
ence to another level by including of several commonly heard Announcements from Flight A endants
and Flightdeck crew.
Takeoff Callouts, landing checklists, it’s all there!
FLIGHT DYNAMICS MODEL
You can’t see it, but you sure can feel it.. Based on input from real-life 757 pilots and simulator experi-
ence - the flight dynamics promise to give you an authen c 757 experience!

FLIGHT CONTROLS
1 – Ailerons
Ailerons control the airplanes ROLL along the Roll Axis. There is one aileron on each wing. The ailerons
move in opposite direc ons of each other to make the aircra turn. For instance, when you turn your
control wheel to the le to start a le turn – the le aileron will raise to “dip” the wing into the turn
while the right aileron will “raise” the right wing. Ailerons can be controlled manually by the pilot or
automa cally by the Autopilot and are hydraulically powered. Aileron posi on can be monitored on
the Lower EICAS display. Aircra Roll can be monitored on the A tude Director Indicator.
Read more about EICAS here.
Read more about the Autopilot here.
Read more about the ADI here.
2 – Elevators
Elevators control the airplanes PITCH along the Lateral Axis. Pitch is the Nose and Nose Down move-
ment of the aircra also referred to as the aircra s a tude. The elevators are for short term pitch
changes while long-term pitch changes are controlled by the Horizontal Stabilizer (more on the Hori-
zontal Stabilizer later in this sec on). There is one Elevator on each Horizontal Stabilizer. The elevators
move together UP and DOWN to make the aircra climb or descend. For instance, when you push the
control column forward, the elevators will move down and make the nose of the aircra pitch down-
ward. Pulling the column back causes the elevators to move Up and the aircra nose to pitch upward.
Elevators can be controlled manually by the pilot or automa cally by the Autopilot .
www.qwsim.com qwsim.flight1.net

They are hydraulically powered. Elevator posi on can be monitored on the Lower EICAS display. Air-
cra A tude can be monitored on the A tude Director Indicator.
Read more about EICAS here.
Read more about the Autopilot here.
Read more about the ADI here.
3 – Rudder
A single Hydraulically powered Rudder controls the airplanes YAW along the Ver cal Axis. Yaw is the
Side to side movement of the aircra . The rudder is located on the Ver cal Stabilizer. The rudder
moves side to side and is controlled by the Rudder pedals. For instance, pushing the le rudder pedal
forward will move the rudder to the le causing the nose to turn towards the le . Keep in mind that
rudder movements will induce rolls, so in the previous le turn example the plane would start to roll to
the le . This is because the right wing speeds up just a bit and this causes more li on that wing. The
Rudder can be controlled manually by the pilot and automa cally by the Autopilot and Yaw Damper
systems. Elevator posi on can be monitored on the Lower EICAS display.
Read more about EICAS here.
Read more about the Autopilot here.
Read more about the Yaw Damper here.
4 – Horizontal Stabilizer
The Horizontal Stabilizer (Le and right are one piece) controls Long Term pitch changes along the Lat-
eral Axis. The horizontal stabilizer pivots on the airplane structure at the rear spar and is hydraulically
powered. Trim commands are ini ated on the control wheel (not simulated in this package) or on the
Control Quadrant. Trim Nose up commands move the en re stabilizer with the Leading edge going
down. Trim Nose Down commands move the en re stabilizer with the Leading edge going up. Auto-
ma c trim commands are also generated by the Autopilot. Stabilizer posi on can be monitored on the
Stab Trim posi on indicator located on the Control Quadrant.
Read more about the Autopilot here.
Read more about the Stabilizer Trim Posi on indicators here.
5 – Spoilers/Speedbrakes
12 (6-each wing) Hydraulically powered Spoilers help augment ailerons for ROLL control and also func-
on as Speedbrakes to help slow the plane down in-flight. The speedbrakes are also deployed auto-
ma cally during Rejected takeoffs and Normal landings to help ensure all aircra weight is on the Main
wheels to aid in braking. They are numbered from 1-12 from le wing to right wing. Spoilers 4 and 9
are electronically locked out in-flight and only serve as ground spoilers.
For Roll control, the spoiler deployment “mixes” with the ailerons to help the aircra turn. The spoilers
move AFTER the ailerons. For in-flight speedbrakes, the spoilers may be deployed to help slow the air-
cra down. During takeoff, the spoilers deploy as Autospeedbrakes if a rejected takeoff is sensed. Dur-
ing landing, the autospeedbrakes deploy automa cally when armed prior to touchdown.

6 – Trailing Edge Flaps
7 – Leading Edge Slats
The Trailing Flaps and Leading Edge Slats work together to form the High Li Control System. The flaps/
slats change the aerodynamic configura on of the airplane to improve performance during a par cular
flight condi on. Takeoff and landing characteris cs are improved, and greater maneuverability is pro-
vided to meet departure and arrival airspeed, climb and descent requirements.
The trailing edge flap system consist of four double-slo ed trailing edge flap control surfaces that ex-
tend from the trailing edge of the wing. There are 10 leading edge slats: One inboard and four out-
board slats are a ached to the leading edge structure of each wing. The slats are numbered 1 to 10,
from outboard le wing to outboard right wing. The Flap lever controls the en re High Li system with
the Slats/Flaps systems working together in a predetermined sequence. The system is normally pow-
ered by hydraulics with an electric backup (not simulated).
The Trailing Edge Flaps have seven posi ons: UP – 1 – 5 – 15 – 20 – 25 – 30. The slats have three posi-
ons. Up – Takeoff and Landing. In the takeoff posi on they remain sealed with the wing. In the land-
ing posi on the slats separate (gap) from the wing.
Autoslat System
There is an Autoslat system that automa cally extends the Slats from the sealed posi on to gapped in
the event of a Stall. The Flap Load relief system retracts the Trailing edge flaps from 30 units to 25 if
airspeed exceeds 170 knots. When the speed drops below 165 knots, the flaps return to the 30 unit
posi on. Load relief is ONLY for Flaps 30.
Read more about the Flap lever here.
Read more about the Flap Posi on Indicator here.
DOORS
Doors can be controlled using Standard Flightsim key combos or via the QualityWings Control Panel.
More informa on on the QualityWings Control Panel can be found here.
Passenger Variants
The 757‐200 has 6 Main Entry/Service Doors (3 each side) and the number of emergency exits depends
on aircra configura on. Some configura ons have 4 small overwing exit doors (2 each side) and oth-
ers have 2 mid sized exit doors (1 each side) just a of the wings.
The 757‐300 has 6 Main Entry/Service Doors (3 each side) and 6 Emergency exits. It has both the over-
wing and a wing exits that can be found on the -200 series.
Two cargo doors are available for loose baggage and loose/small freight. The forward and a cargo
doors are on the right side of the aircra below the aircra water line. There is a Bulk cargo door op-
on that was available on some 757s are airline request. This door is shown on SOME airlines, but is
not simulated on the QualityWings 757.

3 – IRS Mode Select Switches
Allows the IRS system to be turned on. Click all
3 switches from OFF to the NAV posi on and
a er a short wait for alignment, the system will
be up and running in Naviga on mode. IRS is
aligned by default.
NOTE: No other steps are required for IRS align-
ment other than turning the switches to NAV.
Iner al Reference System Refresher
An Iner al Reference system is standard equipment on the 757. The Iner al Reference System is con-
trolled by the IRS Mode Control Panel on the overhead panel. When opera ng in the naviga on mode,
the IRS provides a tude to the EADI or PFD and heading informa on to the EHSI or ND.
An IRS must be aligned before it can enter the NAV mode. Rota ng the IRS mode selector from OFF to
NAV begins the IRS alignment. The IRS performs a short power test, during which the ON DC light illu-
minates. When the ON DC light ex nguishes the ALIGN light illuminates. Alignment requires approxi-
mately ten seconds, as we have speed up this process to get you flying quicker. It is NOT NECESSARY to
enter Present posi on on the FMCS CDU to complete the alignment.
Alignment can be accomplished only when the airplane is not moving. Alignment stops if an IRU de-
tects mo on during alignment. When the mo on stops, the alignment con nues automa cally.
The IRS is aligned when all IRUs enter the naviga on mode. Alignment is lost if the selector is moved
out of the NAV posi on.

The INOP annuncia on shows when the Yaw Damper system is switched off, or when the switch is ON
and the Iner al Reference system is not opera ng. When the INOP annuncia on is present, the EICAS
system generates Yaw Damper EICAS messages shown on the Upper EICAS display: L (R) YAW DAMPER
Please Note that the ON annuncia on DOES NOT tell Flight Simulator Yaw Damper status. The INOP
lights are a only a light simula on of what happens in the real 757 aircra . We have disabled the use
of Flight Simulator Yaw Damper on the QualityWings aircra .
Yaw Damper System Refresher
An inherent characteris c of all swept back wing airplanes is a yawing mo on that induces sideslip and
roll. The yaw damper systems improve turn coordina on and dutchroll damping.

Hydraulic Control Panel
1 – Le System Pump Switches
Allows for control of the Le Engine Driven hydrau-
lic Pump and the Le Electric Driven Hydraulic
Pump. A PRESS light indicates that the respec ve
pump has low output pressure. This can be because
the switch is OFF or in the case of the Engine pump,
it Illuminates when the le engine is shutdown
since the engine drives this pump.
2 – Center System Pump Switches
Allows for control of the two Electric Driven Hydrau-
lic Pumps for the Center system. A PRESS light indi-
cates that the respec ve pump has low output pres-
sure. This can be because the switch is OFF or the
aircra is in a Load Shed condi on. Both engines are
required to be running for the C2 Electric Pump to
operate.
3 – Right System Pump Switches
Opera on similar to the Le System Pump Switches
Hydraulic System Refresher
The 757 is equipped with 3 hydraulic systems labeled the Le , Center and Right systems. The hydraulic
system provides the power to operate systems such as the landing gear and all flight controls.
There are 2 pumps available for each system for a total of 6 in the system. The le and right systems
each have (1) Engine driven hydraulic pump and (1) Electric Hydraulic Pump. When the engines are not
running, the pumps do not output any pressure. When the engines are running, the pumps provide
approximately 3000 psi pressure as long as their respec ve switches remain in the ON posi on. The
Electric hydraulic pumps operate as long as their switches are on and are available as long as the air-
cra has AC power available. The Center system is equipped with 2 Electric hydraulic pumps that oper-
ate similar to the Le and Right system Electric pumps. The Center pumps are however subject to Load
Shedding when the engines are not running. To prevent excessive electrical loads while using External
electrical power or APU electrical power, only (1) center hydraulic pumps is available at a me. If both
switches are on, then only the C-1 hydraulic pump operates.
On the QualityWings 757, hydraulic pressure is necessary for opera on and the anima on of the Flight
Controls. The Ram Air Turbine is NOT simulated. If your hydraulics are not on, you will not be able to
control the ailerons, rudder, elevator or the horizontal Stabilizer. Therefore direc onal control will be
compromised as hydraulics are necessary for flight!

Probe Heat System Refresher
The various Air Data probes/sensors on the 757 are electrically heated to ensure ice does not accumu-
late. Ice accumula on can prevent reliable data from these sensors which is a safety hazard. The probe
heat system is automa cally controlled on 757s. There is no manual control of probe heat. On engine
start, all probes are turned on. They shutoff on engine shutdown.

Electrical Power System Refresher
The 757 Electrical Power system is very complex. It consists on an AC (Alterna ng Current) system, a
DC (Direct Current) system and a Standby system. The AC system consists of (3) powerplant (Engine
and APU) driven generators and external power. The DC and Standby systems consists of many compo-
nents - but is not at all discussed here. The Ba ery is the only DC power system component controlled
in this simula on.
The QualityWings 757 simulates External power, APU generator power and Engine generator power.
On the ground, when the engines are shutdown and the parking brake is set….External power will be-
come available for use. When the APU is running, APU electrics is available. When the engines are run-
ning, the engines will power the electrical power system so long as their switches are on. You will need
to start your APU prior to engine shutdown if you do not want to lose power.

APU System Refresher
The 757 is equipped with a single Allied Signal model 331-200 Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) installed in
the a tailcone of the aircra . The APU is an engine that is capable of supplying electrical power and
Pneuma cs. The pneuma cs are normally al tude limited, but on the QualityWings 757 Pneuma cs
and Electrical power are always available regardless of al tude.

2 – Engine Start Switches
Two posi on switch: GND & AUTO
Used to ini ated engine start. User places Start switch to GND to
start engine and when engine approaches idle the switch auto-
ma cally goes back to AUTO posi on. See How to Start engines
(below) for more informa on.
How to Start Engines
AutoStart
FS default Key command Ctrl + E will automa cally start the Le engine first and a er that engine reaches
idle, the right engine is started. The Fuel Control switch will automa cally be placed to RUN at the precise
moment for a perfect start.
Standard Start
The user can also ini ate the engine start manually by placing the Start Switch to the Auto posi on. The fuel
control switches will also be placed to the Run posi on for you at max motor. New for SP3 is a Config op on
that allows you to be in control of the fuel control switch. Standard start requires that the Air Condi oning
and Bleed Air Control Panel be setup correctly. In order for engine start to commence:
Both packs must be off,
The Isola on Valve must be OPEN and the
APU must be running with the APU Bleed Valve Open.
If these condi ons are not sa sfied, switch will not remain in GND. They will spring back to Auto 2 seconds
later. If the on-side VALVE light illuminates, the start has started begun successfully.
Engine Start System Refresher
The 757 engine star ng system consists of a start valve, pneuma c starter, the Start control panel and
the Engine Fuel Control Cutoff switches (part of the Fuel & Igni on systems). The engines are started
by using the Start switch on the Start Control Panel to open a pneuma c start valve on the engine.
Bleed air from the APU, opposite aircra engine or Ground Pneuma cs carts supply the air that goes
through the Start Valve to turn the engine Starter. The engine starter then turns the engine to suck in
air. At a predetermined point, the pilot then moves the Fuel Control Cutoff switch to the Idle posi on.
When the switch is placed to idle, fuel is supplied to the engine and igni on is started to create com-
bus on to allow the engine accelerate to idle. At or around idle, the engine start valve closes and the
starter disengages from the engine, as it is no longer needed.

Fuel Systems Refresher
The 757 is equipped with 3 Fuel tanks: Le and Right Main tanks which are located in each respec ve
wing and a Center Tank located in the center wing box. The Fuel capacity of the Wing tanks are 2236
gallons (14,980 lbs) and the Center Tank capacity for all versions except the C32-A is 7017 (47,013 lbs).
The C32-A has an addi onal 2298 gallons (15,400 lbs ) available in the Center Tank for a total fuel
Quan ty of 92,000lbs instead of the normal 76,000 lbs.
There are a total of 6 Fuel Pumps in the Fuel system: (2) for each Main tank and (2) for the Center
Tank. The Center tank pumps are called Override Fuel Boost Pumps and operate at a higher output
pressure than the Main Tanks boost pumps. Because of this, the center tank fuel quan ty is used first.
Once the center tank is depleted, then main tank fuel is used.
The Fuel Crossfeed valves allow the engines to use either fuel tank f necessary.

Air Condi oning and Bleed Air System Refresher
Pneuma c bleed is available from the engines, the APU or external ground carts. This bleed air is used
for several systems, most notable for the Air Condi oning Packs and the engine star ng system.
Pneuma cs is always available on the QualityWings 757 for automa c engine starts. When star ng via
the engine start control panel, the APU must be running and the Air condi oning packs must be turned
off. On the real 757, start is not inhibited if the packs are on, but procedures are for the packs to be
turned off since the volume of air going to the packs makes it difficult to start the engines as well.

Autobrakes System Refresher
The autobrakes system automa cally applies the wheel brakes to a complete stop. Interface with the system is
via the Autobrakes Control panel located on the Main Panel. Autobrakes allows the pilot to choose from varying
levels of decelera on rates for landing and also has takeoff mode called RTO (Rejected Takeoff Mode).
RTO Mode is only available on the ground. Part of the preflight involves selec ng the RTO mode on the panel.
During takeoff roll if the thro les are retarded to idle a er the aircra has reached 85 knots, the brakes are auto-
ma cally applied to the maximum se ng to stop the aircra as quickly as possible.
Landing Modes are 1-2-3-4-Max Auto. Prior to landing, the pilot selects the desired landing mode. A er touch-
down and thrust levers at idle, brakes are automa cally applied at the selected decelera on rate.

Flap Posi on Indicator
Indicator Needle
The needle indicates the posi on of the flaps.
Flap Placard Speeds
The speed listed outside of the gauges are called Flap Placard Speeds. The flaps
should not be extended when the aircra speed is equal to or greater than the
speed listed at the applicable flap posi on. For example, 220K shows above Flaps 5.
Do not extend flaps to the 5 posi on n l speed is below 220 knots
Flap Load Relief System
The flap load relief system protects the flaps from excessive air loads. If the flap airspeed placard limit is exceed-
ed with the flaps in the 30 posi on, the flaps automa cally retract to posi on 25. When airspeed is reduced, the
flaps automa cally re-extend.
This system is simulated on the exterior model and on the flap posi on indicator.

Autoflight System Refresher
AUTO FLIGHT SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
The automa c flight control system consists of the autopilot flight director system (AFDS) and the autothro le
system (A/T). The mode control panel (MCP) and flight management computer (FMC) control the AFDS and the
autothro le system to perform climb, cruise, descent and approach.
AUTOPILOT FLIGHT DIRECTOR SYSTEM
The AFDS consists of three Autopilots (Le , Center & Right) and the MCP. The MCP provides control of the auto-
pilot, flight director, al tude alert, and autothro le systems. The MCP selects and ac vates AFDS modes, and
establishes al tudes, speeds, and climb/descent profiles. The three autopilots control separate hydraulically
powered autopilot control servos to operate flight controls. The autopilot controls ailerons and elevators. Rud-
der commands are added only during a mul ple autopilot approach. Nose wheel steering is also added during
rollout from an automa c landing.
MCP Switches
MCP switches select automa c flight control and flight director modes. A light in the lower half of the switch illu-
minates to indicate the mode is armed or ac ve. Respec ve roll and pitch flight mode annuncia ons on the ADI
will also display. Autothro le modes are discussed later in this sec on.
Autothro le System
The autothro le system provides thrust control from takeoff through landing. Autothro le mode and speed se-
lec on is controlled from the MCP and the thrust mode select panel (TMSP). When in VNAV, the FMC selects au-
tothro le modes and target thrust values.

AFDS Flight Mode Annuncia ons
Flight mode annuncia ons display above AFDS status annuncia ons. Mode annuncia ons from le to right are:
· AUTOTHROTTLE
· PITCH
· ROLL
· AFDS STATUS
Ac ve modes display at the top of the flight mode annuncia on boxes in large green le ers. Armed modes
(except for TO on the ground and GA in flight) display in smaller white le ers at the bo om of the fight mode
annunciator boxes.
Autothro le Modes
Autothro le annuncia ons are:
· EPR – autothro le controlling to the selected EPR reference thrust.
· SPD – autothro le controlling thrust to maintain speed selected in IAS/MACH or, if VNAV engaged, the speed as
programmed by the FMC.
· IDLE – autothro le is reducing or has reduced thrust to idle. Occurs a er FLARE is engaged during Autoland
· FLCH – autothro le controlling to a maximum of the selected mode reference thrust during climb, and to a mini-
mum thrust during descent.
Roll Modes
Roll annuncia ons are:
LNAV –
Arm LNAV by pushing the L NAV switch. The light illuminates and LNAV annunciates on the ADI roll mode annun-
ciator in white characters below the current roll mode.
· LNAV (armed) – LNAV is armed to ac vate when parameters are met.
· LNAV (ac ve) – LNAV ac vates when in posi on to turn onto the ac ve route leg. In flight, selec on causes im-
mediate ac va on if within 2 ½ NM of the ac ve leg.
HDG –
· HDG SEL (ac ve) – airplane turns to or maintains the heading selected in the MCP heading window.
· HDG HOLD (ac ve) – AFDS holds present heading. When turning, AFDS holds the heading reached a er rolling
wings level.
LOC –
· LOC (armed) – AFDS captures the localizer when within range and within 120 degrees of the localizer course.
· LOC (ac ve) – AFDS follows the localizer course.
NAV-
- When in NAV mode, when the VOR radial for the tuned NAV1 radio is captured, heading hold will turn off.
- When in GPS mode, and an ATC route is loaded into the FSPlanner, and, the GPS mode is ac ve and the autopi-
lot is on, then heading hold is disengaged.

Pitch Modes
Pitch annuncia ons are:
VNAV –
Arm VNAV by pushing the V NAV switch. The light illuminates and VNAV annunciates on the ADI pitch mode an-
nunciator in white characters below the current pitch mode. VNAV provides pitch commands to maintain the
FMC computed airspeed/path:
· VNAV SPD (ac ve) – Displayed during VNAV Climb and Cruise segments
· VNAV PTH (ac ve) – Displayed during VNAV descent. If the MCP al tude window is set to the current cruise al -
tude as the airplane approaches the top of descent, the CDU scratchpad message RESET MCP ALT displays.
· If descent of track, VNAV SPD will show un l back on path. When back on path - VNAV PTH will display
V/S –
Pushing the V/S switch opens the ver cal speed window and displays the current ver cal speed. It also opens the
IAS/MACH window (if blanked). Pitch commands maintain the rate of climb or descent selected in the V/S
window.
FLCH –
Pushing the FL CH switch opens the IAS/MACH window (if blanked). Pitch commands maintain IAS/MACH window
airspeed or Mach.
ALT HOLD –
Al tude hold mode is ac vated by:
· Pushing the MCP al tude HOLD switch, or
· capturing the selected al tude from a V/S or FLCH climb or descent.
G/S –
Autopilot flight director system follows the ILS glideslope.
FLARE –
· FLARE (armed) – during autoland, FLARE displays below 1500 feet radio al tude.
· FLARE (ac ve) – during autoland, flare ac vates at 45 feet radio al tude. FLARE deac vates at touchdown and
the nose wheel smoothly lowers to the runway.
AFDS Status Annuncia on
The following AFDS status annuncia ons are displayed:
· CMD – the autopilots are engaged

Flight Management System Descrip on
INTRODUCTION
The flight management system (FMS) aids the flight crew with naviga on, in–flight performance op miza on,
automa c fuel monitoring, and flight deck displays. Automa c flight func ons manage the airplane lateral flight
path (LNAV) and ver cal flight path (VNAV). The displays include a map for airplane orienta on and command
markers on the airspeed, al tude, and thrust indicators to help in flying efficient profiles.
The flight crew enters the applicable route and flight data into the CDUs. The FMS then uses the naviga on data-
base and airplane posi on to calculate commands for an automa c flight path control. LNAV and VNAV are ONLY
available via Automa c control from the Automa c Flight Director System (Autopilot).
The FMS naviga on database supplies the necessary data to fly routes, SIDs, STARs and Onroute airways. Cruise
al tudes and crossing al tude restric ons are used to calculate VNAV commands. Lateral offsets from the pro-
grammed route can be calculated and commanded. Updated Database files are available via Navigraph (For an
addi onal fee)
The FMS commands are sent to the autothro le, autopilot, and flight director. Map and route data are sent to
the HSIs and NDs. The EFIS control panels are used to select the data to be displayed on the HSIs. The mode con-
trol panel selects the autothro le, autopilot, and flight director opera ng modes.
For more informa on on the Autoflight system, click here.
For more informa on on the Flight Instruments displays, click here.
Flight Management System Opera on
PREFLIGHT
When first powered, the FMS is in the preflight phase. During preflight, flight plan and load sheet data are auto-
ma cally or manually entered into the CDU. The flight plan defines the route of flight from the origin to the des -
na on and ini alizes LNAV. Flight plan and load sheet data provide performance data to ini alize VNAV. The
QualityWings 757 allows any of four different methods to enter flightplan data into the FMS for preflight:
- via flightplans created in FS Planner
- via flightplans created for FSPlanner through 3rd party naviga on programs such as FSBuild
- via flightplans created in QW757 Na ve .rte format by 3rd party Naviga on programs such as FSBuild.
- manually
Required preflight data consists of:
· performance data (Cruise Al tude ONLY)
· route of flight
· takeoff data
Op onal preflight data includes:
· SID
· STAR
Each required or op onal data item is entered on specific preflight pages. Preflight starts with the IDENT page. If
the IDENT page is not displayed, it can be selected with the IDENT prompt on the INIT/REF INDEX page. Visual
prompts help the flight crew select necessary CDU preflight pages. Preflight pages can be manually selected in
any order.
www.qwsim.com qwsim.flight1.net
The Ul mate 757 Collec on Version 1.3 89
A er the necessary data on each preflight page is entered and checked, push the lower right line select key to
select the next preflight page. When ACTIVATE is selected on the ROUTE page, the execute (EXEC) light illumi-
nates. Push the EXEC key to make the route ac ve. Use the departure/arrival (DEP/ARR) page to select a standard
instrument departure (SID). Selec on of the SID may cause a route discon nuity in the flight plan. The modifica-
on must be connected to the exis ng route and executed. This can be accomplished on the ROUTE or LEGS
page. When all required preflight entries are complete, PRE-FLT COMPLETE is displayed on the TAKEOFF REF
page.
Terminology
The following paragraphs describe FMC and CDU terminology.
Ac ve – flight plan data being used to calculate LNAV or VNAV guidance commands.
Ac vate – the procedure to change an inac ve route to the ac ve route for naviga on. It is a two step procedure.
· select the ACTIVATE prompt
· push the execute (EXEC) key.
Al tude constraint – a crossing restric on at a waypoint.
Delete – using the delete (DEL) key to remove FMC data and revert to default values, dash or box prompts, or a
blank entry.
Econ – a speed schedule calculated to minimize opera ng cost. The economy speed is based on the cost index. A
low cost index causes a lower cruise speed. Maximum range cruise or the minimum fuel speed schedule may be
obtained by entering a cost index of zero. This speed schedule ignores the cost of me. A low cost index may be
used when fuel costs are high compared to opera ng
costs. A minimum me speed schedule may be obtained by entering a cost index of 9999. This speed schedule

FMS UPLINKING OPTIONS
Loading flightplans is easy in the QualityWings FMC. Flightplans can be created manually by advanced users, but
uplinking is the easiest and fastest method of loading the FMS.
Using FS Flight Planner
Both FS9 and FSX have built in flight planners which can load create simple flightplans for use in the FMS. The
advantage of these flightplans is that they allow for ATC guidance since the Flightplans is "on file" with Flightsim
ATC. ATC will provide guidance to get you flying toward your Lateral route (LNAV) and ver cal profile (VNAV).
Plans saved in FS Planner are called PLN files. Click here for a tutorial on using FS Planner.
Using 3rd Party So ware to create PLN files
3rd Party Flight Simulator Planner so ware (Such as FSBuild created by our very own Ernie Alston) allow you to
create flightplans for use in the FMS. The plan is first created in the 3rd part so ware and then exported to the
default folder where PLN files are stored. The plan can then be loaded via FS Flight Planner and then uplinked to
the FMS. The advantage of these flightplans is the same as using Flight Planner, but 3rd party so ware allows for
more control over your route. Click here for a tutorial on using 3rd Party So ware to create PLN files.
Using 3rd Party So ware to create RTE files
3rd Party Flight Simulator Planner so ware allows you to create flightplans for use in the FMS. The plan is first
created in the 3rd part so ware and then exported to the QualityWings Flightplans. The FMS system can read
these flightplans (Up to 200) allowing for easy access to the flightplans via the CDU. Because these plans are not
created with FS Planner, flightsim ATC guidance is NOT available. Click here for a tutorial on using 3rd Party So -
ware to create RTE files.
FMC PREFLIGHT
Introduc on
FMC preflight is required before flight. Comple on of the FMC preflight requires data entry in all minimum re-
quired data loca ons. Addi onal entry of op onal preflight data op mizes FMC accuracy.
Flightplans can be "uplinked" to the FMC by using one of three methods which were described briefly above and
in detail later sec ons. Uplinking reduces the number of required ac ons by you. Manual entries replace exis ng
data.
Preflight Page Sequence
The usual FMC power–up page is the iden fica on page. Preflight flow
con nues in this sequence:
· iden fica on (IDENT) page
· posi on ini aliza on (POS INIT) page
· ROUTE page
· DEPARTURES page (no automa c prompt)
· performance ini aliza on (PERF INIT) page
· takeoff reference (TAKEOFF REF) page.
Some of these pages are also used in flight.

The Ul mate 757 Collec on Version 1.3 91
Minimum Preflight Sequence
Minimum Preflight Sequence
During preflight, a prompt in the lower right directs the flight crew through the minimum requirements for pre-
flight comple on. Selec ng the prompt key displays the next page in the flow. If a required entry is missed, a
prompt on the TAKEOFF page leads the flight crew to the preflight page missing data. Airplane iner al posi on is
NOT necessary for FMC preflight and flight instrument opera on.
A route must be entered and ac vated. Flight uplinked into FMS are automa cally ac vated. The minimum route
data is origin and des na on airports, and a route leg. Performance data requires the airplane weight and cruise
al tude. Airplane weight is automa cally entered for you and a cruise al tude is uplinked as well. But the cruise
al tude MUST be verified to be the cruise al tude that matches your flightplan. Takeoff data requires a flap
se ng. Default Flaps se ng is set at 15. You can adjust default flaps via QualityWings op ons. For more infor-
ma on on QualityWings Op ons, click here.

LNAV Modifica ons
This sec on shows typical techniques to modify the route. The modifica ons include:
· add and delete waypoints · change waypoint’s sequence
· connect discon nui es · intercept a course.
RTE LEGS Page Modifica ons
Modifica ons to the LNAV route are usually made on the RTE LEGS page. When the route is modified, MOD is
displayed in the tle and the execute light is illuminated.
Add Waypoints
Waypoints can be added to the route at any point. Added waypoints are followed by route discon nui es.
First, enter the waypoint name in the scratchpad.
Second, locate the correct line in the flight plan and push the adjacent line select key. The scratchpad waypoint
name is put into the selected line. The entered waypoint is connected to the waypoint above it via a direct route.
A route discon nuity follows the waypoint.
For example, AVE is typed into the scratchpad. Push line select key 3L to put AVE into line 2. The FMC assumes
LIN direct AVE. DERBB and the rest of the flight plan are kept but, are put a er the route discon nuity.
1 ‐ Page Title
MOD – replaces ACT when modifica on is in progress.
ACT – replaces MOD when ERASE is selected or execute key is pushed.
2 ‐ Modified Waypoint
AVE waypoint entered into the route a er LIN. Modifica on creates a route discon nuity because AVE was not in
the ac ve route. The FMC now requires rou ng beyond AVE.
3 ‐ Discon nuity
Discon nuity is corrected when applicable waypoint is entered in boxes.
4 ‐ ERASE
Push – removes all modifica ons and shows ac ve data. Displayed when the FMC contains modified data. Re-
moved when the modifica ons are executed.
5 ‐ ROUTE DISCONTINUITY

Delete Waypoints
Use the RTE LEGS page to remove waypoints from the route. Two methods to remove a waypoint are:
· delete the waypoint with the DEL func on key
· change the sequence of other waypoints.
The data in the route before the deleted waypoint does not change. A discon nuity is put in the route when the
DEL func on key is used to remove a waypoint.
1 ‐ Ac ve Route
The ac ve route shows LKV followed by LIN and DERBB.
2 ‐ DELETE Entry
Pushing the DEL func on key arms the delete func on and selects DELETE to the scratchpad.
3 ‐ Discon nuity
With DELETE in the scratchpad, pushing the line select key for LKV deletes the waypoint. Boxes replace LKV and a
route discon nuity is displayed.

The Ul mate 757 Collec on Version 1.3 106
Change Waypoint Sequence
Waypoints moved from one posi on in the flight plan to another do not cause route discon nui es.
The waypoint may be manually typed or copied from any of the RTE LEGS
pages. To copy the waypoint, push the line select key adjacent to the waypoint.
The example below shows the flight plan being modified to fly from POWEL direct LIN. Push the line select key
adjacent to LIN to put LIN in the scratchpad. Push the line select key adjacent to LKV. LKV is removed from the
flight plan and the rou ng is direct from POWEL to LIN to DERBB. The modifica on does not cause a route discon-
nuity. Several waypoints can be removed from the flight plan at a me with this method.
1 ‐ Ac ve Route
The ac ve route shows LKV followed by LIN and DERBB. The clearance is to fly from POWEL direct LIN. The LIN
waypoint is selected to the scratchpad.
2 ‐ Change LIN’s Sequence
LIN is selected to the waypoint a er POWEL. LKV is removed with no discon nuity

PAYLOAD SETUP
Please perform this step BEFORE YOU START FLIGHTSIM or BEFORE YOU LOAD A QW AIRCRAFT!!!
Se ng Payload via the QualityWings Livery/Load Manager
A er you ini ally load the QW Aircra , before we get started, you need to set your Fuel Load Via the Quali-
tyWings Livery/Load manager. For today’s flight, we are going to set the payload at 50% Full. You can do this at
the bo om of the Livery manager. MAKE SURE YOU CLICK APPLY and make sure you set the payload for the ap-
propriate aircra !!
FUEL QUANTITY SETUP
A er you load the aircra be sure to set the fuel in the Le and Right main fuel tanks to 100% in the default FS
fuel loader.
Open the QualityWings Control panel (QW Simicon) and select landing Checklist. it will turn green when it is
enabled.
- Setup Flight using Default Simulator Flight Planner
- Load the flight. You can choose to move the aircra to your Departure Airport if you are not already there.
- Select the "FMS" simicon on the side of the 2D panel to access the FMC Control Display Unit. This is where
we interface with the Flight Management System.
- The FMS loads on the IDENT page. Select the Line Select Key (referred to as LSK from this point forward)
next to INDEX. This will bring you to the INIT/REF page. Another way to get to this page would have been to
hit the INIT REF bu on.
- Select LOAD ATC RTE. RTE UPLINK OK shows in the FMC Scratchpad. Select the CLR key to remove this mes-
sage from the scratchpad. otherwise, the Amber F<MC Alert message will show on EICAS
- When the Route is loaded, you will automa cally be taken to the RTE page. Confirm your Origin and Des -
na on correct. If so, select the EXEC key which should be lit up at this me. Click execute clears the EXEC
light and turns your RTE ACTIVE. The Title page changes from RTE to ACT RTE
- Select LSK 6R for PERF INIT (Performance Ini aliza on). This page sets informa on for the aircra ver cal
profile to be used for VNAV control
- Confirm the al tude chosen in our Flightplan matches what we selected (FL200). If not, correct it by enter-
ing 200 in the scratchpad and selec ng the LSK 1R for CRZ ALT. For the Cost Index, we'll use 80 today.
- Now that we've completed the cruise al tude parameters for this flight, let's go to the takeoff ref page.
You'll no ce the very low v-speeds, we are light today and will be using a rather long runway... enter 5 in the
scratchpad to adjust our takeoff flap se ng to 5. Your v-speeds will increase due to the lowered flap se ng.
- Select V2+25, in the IAS/MACH speed window on the MCP. For instance, if our V2 speed is 132 so you will
enter 157 in the speed window. You do not want to exceed this speed un l the accelera on height of 1000
feet.

The Ul mate 757 Collec on Version 1.3 122
- Now that we've entered all of the performance data, select the DEP/ARR bu on on the FMS so we can en-
ter our Departure as per the flightplan.
- Select the DEP bu on and then select a departure runway (choose whichever is ac ve per ATC). Your arrival
will be set enroute when ATC assigns your approach.
- The flightplan is now entered, select the INIT REF key and then INDEX to get back to the Index page. Select
TAKEOFF and you will no ce "PRE-FLIGHT COMPLETE" shows bo om right. Your FMS is ready to get you go-
ing!
- Now select the EFIS simicon in the 2D panel to open the EFIS control panel. Put the HSI in Map Mode and
select 40 miles for the range. Hit the TFC bu on for the TCAS system.
- We're almost ready to push back now, go to the overhead panel and select the APU switch in the start posi-
on. When the APU is fully spooled up, you should see it display "Run".
Contact ATC for IFR Clearance
- The APU is now running, now we are ready to start the engines.
Manual Start
In the overhead panel, you will see a bleed air panel on the right side, above this panel are the packs switches.
Please make sure that these are switched off before we start the engines. In addi on, ensure that the Isola on
valve Switch is ON (Flow-bar visible).
- Before engine start make sure there is APU bleed air on or the engines will not start. The engine start panel is
above the fuel sec on of the overhead, turn the start posi on to both, then select "GND" to start either the # 1
or # 2 engine.
- When one engine is fully spooled up you may start the remaining engine.
AutoStart
- Click CTRL + E for automa c engine start. The sim will start both of your engines for you.
Contact Ground for Taxi Clearance
- Taxi to runway 36L, make sure to set the flaps to 5, turn on the flight director and arm the auto thro le. Make
sure your taxi lights and an collision lights are turned on. For more informa on on how to taxi the aircra , Click
here
Contact Tower for Takeoff Clearance
- As you approach the runway, derate your thrust to 50 degrees Celsius. On the RB211 engine, this should derate
your take thrust ref to 1.70 EPR.
- When you line up on the runway, turn off the taxi lights and switch to the landing light. Do not forget to turn the
wing lights and set the autobrake to "RTO".
- You are now ready to takeoff, advance the thro les to approximately 1.45 EPR and select the EPR bu on to
engage takeoff thrust. The power should be set to the derated ref of 1.70 EPR.
- At VR, your rota on speed, rotate the aircra and follow the flight director. Retract the gear and manually fly
the aircra and hold V2+25 knots un l you reach the accelera on height of 1000 feet.
Under ATC Control
www.qwsim.com qwsim.flight1.net
The Ul mate 757 Collec on Version 1.3 123
- At 1000 feet your engines will automa cally reduce to Climb thrust.
- When you reach 190 knots, retract your flaps to 1, and at 205 bring the flaps up.
- Turn on the center autopilot and we suggest controlling the aircra as follows:
- ATC will give you a series of instruc ons to turn the aircra as they line you up to intercept your Flight Plan
course. Use Autopilot HDG SEL mode as required.
- ATC will give you a series of instruc ons to increase the al tude of the aircra as they set you up to get to
cruise al tude. You can use VNAV, but tVNAV will transi on to ALT HOLD when it reaches a MCP constraint.
The MCP aAl tude overrides VNAV requests!
We suggest using FLCH during these phases.For climbing, FLCH (Flight Level Change will command for climb
thrust and adjust pitch to maintain the speed. Current aircra speed upon FLCH mode selec on becomes
target speed. This speed can be adjusted.
- For climbout, turn off the landing light and wing light.
- Prior to the Top of Descent, it's me to start ge ng setup for Miami. Select the INIT ref key. You will see
the Miami ILS approach informa on and flap se ngs. Select flaps 30 and the Line select Next to "--/---" to
select this Approach Flaps. Enter the ILS informa on into the Nav Control Panel on the glareshield.
- In the HSI you'll see the li le T/D icon in green as you approach it. This is your top of descent posi on. Even
if you are using VNAV, we suggest wai ng un l ATC clears you for qa descent to adjust your MCP al tude to
a lower al tude. In many cases, ATC is pre y much in sync with FMC computerd T/D. in the event that they
are not in sync, this will prevent nuisance ATC instruc ons to return to your "cruising al tude" due to them
seeing a premature descent.
Perform Checklist Item—IN RANGE
- Now that you are descending you may require drag as the aircra my be diffult to slow down. If this is the
case you will get an amber colored FMC Level-C alert. This FMC message on EICAS is telling you that the FMC
CDU has an improtant message for you to view. The message DRAG REQUIRED may be showing which means
the aircra needs a li le bit of assistance slowing down. The 757 is a very "Slippery" aircra . Extend the
speedsbrakes to help aid in slowing the aircra down.
- Once below 10K Turn on the landing lights and set the autobrakes to "2".
- Before I explain the final approach phase, please follow these flap retra on speeds and refer to them as you
approach the airport. Flaps 1 : 240, Flaps 5 : 215, Flaps 15 : 190, Flaps 20 : 170, Flap 25 : 160, Flaps 30 :
150/145.
ATC Approach Vectors
- ATC will alert you of your current posi on rela ve to your des na on airport.
"Boeing 1979, you are XX miles Northeast. Turn right heading XXX. Expect vectors ILS approach XXX.XX
- You now know which runway you will be using
- Navigate to the DEP/ARR page and select the appropriate Runway. This will give you visual reference on
your HSI, assuming you are s ll in MAP mode on the EFIS Control panel
Perform Checklist Item—APPROACH
- When u pass under 2500 feet, bring the gear down and reset the MCP to 1000 feet. Select the glideslope
buton "APP" to arm the glidesploe hold. The autopilot is now in full control of the airplane and will autoland
into Miami.
Perform Checklist Item—LANDING
- When crossing 1700 feet reset your speed window to the VRef Speed called out of the FMC Approach page
for the Flap se ng that we used (Flaps 30). Add 5 knots and this is your VREF + 5 speed. At 1500 feet you
should see the Land 3 status illuminate and the aircra is now commi ed to autoland.
- Now that you've landed operate the Thrust Reversers. You do not need to worry about the spoilers as they
www.qwsim.com qwsim.flight1.net
The Ul mate 757 Collec on Version 1.3 124
auto deploy since yuou armed them during the Approach
- At 85 Knots you will hear a Level-A warning because the AP has disengaged. This is normal. Disengage au-
tobrakes by manually braking the aircr and exit the runway.
Perform Checklist Item—AFTER LANDING
- Once you've exited the runway retract the flaps and spoilers and turn off the landing lights. You may use
the taxi lights if you'd like.
Perform Checklist Item—SHUTDOWN/PARKING
Go to the gate, arm the park brake and shut down the engines. You have now completed your flight.

COLD AND DARK SETUP
Prerequisites:
Please perform this step BEFORE YOU START FLIGHTSIM or BEFORE YOU LOAD A QW AIRCRAFT!!!
The best method at star ng cold and dark is to first set your QW757.cfg file to load "Cold and Dark" panel config-
ura on by default. This can easily be done by se ng the following op ons in the QW757.cfg file:
PanelState=Cold_And_Dark.PNL
LoadPanelStateonAcLoad=1
Note: As long as these op ons are set in your QW757.cfg file, the aircra will load Cold and Dark. HOWEVER, if
you do not use the QualityWings "Cold and Dark" Flight that we included, the engines will load "Running".
Once loading the QualityWings Cold and Dark Panel Situa on and Flight, please be pa ent for approximately 10
seconds as the aircra sets up the Cold and Dark Situa on!

- Once below 10K Turn on the landing lights and set the autobrakes to "2".
- Before I explain the final approach phase, please follow these flap retra on speeds and refer to them as you
approach the airport. Flaps 1 : 240, Flaps 5 : 215, Flaps 15 : 190, Flaps 20 : 170, Flap 25 : 160, Flaps 30 :
150/145.
Open the QualityWings Control panel (QW Simicon) and select landing Checklist. it will turn green when it is
enabled.
Perform Checklist Item ‐ APPROACH
- As you approach the waypoint KROME your ini al approach fix, hit the Speed hold bu on on the MCP and
set it to 170 and select the "LOC" bu on to arm the localizer hold.
- When u pass under 2500 feet, bring the gear down and reset the MCP to 1000 feet. Select the glideslope
bu on "APP" to arm the glidesploe hold. The autopilot is now in full control of the airplane and will autoland
into Miami.
Perform Checklist Item ‐ LANDING
- When crossing 16, 1700 feet reset your speed window to the VRef Speed called out of the FMC Approach
page for the Flap se ng that we used (Flaps 30). Add 5 knots and this is your VREF + 5 speed. At 1500 feet
you should see the Land 3 status illuminate and the aircra is now commi ed to autoland.
- Now that you've landed operate the Thrust Reversers. You do not need to worry about the spoilers as they
auto deploy since you armed them during the Approach
- At 85 Knots you will hear a Level-A warning because the AP has disengaged. This is normal. Disengage au-
tobrakes by manually braking the aircra and exit the runway.
Perform Checklist Item ‐ AFTER LANDING
- Once you've exited the runway retract the flaps and spoilers and turn off the landing lights. You may use
the taxi lights if you'd like.
Perform Checklist Item ‐ SHUTDOWN/PARKING
- Go to the gate, arm the park brake and shut down the engines. You have now completed your flight.

Taxiing
Thrust Use
To ini ate taxi and reduce possibility of jet blast damage:
• Smoothly advance power to a minimum required for the aircra to roll forward; maximum of N1 35% RPM.
• Aircra response to thrust change is slow, par cularly at high gross weights. Idle thrust is adequate for taxiing
under most condi ons. A slightly higher thrust se ng is required to start taxiing. Allow me for aircra response
to each thrust change.
• Retard the power as soon as possible a er the airplane starts to taxi. Use of reverse thrust is not recommended
during taxi or for power back.
Controlling the aircra
The normal straight away taxi speed should not exceed approximately 20 knots. When approaching a turn, use
approximately 8 to 12 knots. In Flight Simulator, rudder pedals (twist the joys ck, use the rudder pedals, or press
0 [le ] or ENTER [right] on the numeric keypad) are used for direc onal control during taxiing. Avoid stopping
during turns as excess thrust may be necessary to get rolling again. Use the reference point shown below while
taxiing in the 2D panel. On the Widescreen panels, use below the MAN Switch on the VHF Nav Panel to the le of
the Mode Control panel as the Centerline Reference Point.

The Ul mate 757 Collec on Version 1.3 130
Virtual Cockpit Tour
The Virtual cockpit provides a dynamic 3-dimensional flight sim experience while inside “the office”. In the 2D
cockpit, panels must be accessed via Sim-Icons and overlay one another. In the VC, you must “look” for these
panels as you would in a real airplane!
Great care was taken to ensure that 2D and 3D cockpit func onality work in parallel. If it works in the 2D, it works
in the 3D Virtual Cockpit. And we’ve thrown in some cool anima ons such as the ability to move the flightdeck
seats to really enhance your experience on those long flights!
Accessing Virtual Cockpit:
FS9
Ensure VC model is loaded and click “S” (Default flightsim switch views command). The VC view mode is a er the
2D view Mode. You can also select the VC in the Flightsim Views Menu.
FSX
Ensure VC model is loaded and click “F9” (Default flightsim View Virtual Cockpit command). Click F9 to switch
back to 2D. You can also select the VC in the Flightsim Views Menu.
Basic VC Commands
You can move inside the virtual cockpit using these combina ons:
Back: Control + Enter
Forward: Control + Backspace
Le : Control + Shi + Backspace
Right: Control + Shi + Enter
Up: Shi + Enter
Down: Shi + Backspace
FS9
You can pan around by clicking and holding your Mouse Wheel and moving mouse around.
FSX
You can pan around by holding your keyboard space key and moving your mouse around.
VC Ligh ng
The Light Override (LT OVRD) switch controls ligh ng in the VC. NOTE: if you click “L”, all lights will turn on and
off. Use the Landing light switches in lieu of the “L” command whenever possible.

Interfacing with the Aircra in the Virtual Cockpit
Interface with the Virtual cockpit is done using the mouse. Some items require you to Select and hold it with the
mouse and move it, such as the thro le. Some items require right clicks to move in one direc on and le clicks to
go the opposite way, such as the Autobrakes switch. The pictures following show areas of the VC either can be
interfaced with, or respond to movement of a control device (yoke, joys ck). Pink circles represent areas that
when clicked will open up a windowed Popup for ease of use. Standard cockpit shown. Retrofit similar.

The Ul mate 757 Collec on Version 1.3 135
Traffic Collision and Avoidance System (TCAS)
QualityWings is pleased to offer Lee Hetherington's TCAS II v7.0 logic fully integrated into the 757 EHSI and Nav
displays (Retrofit). The TCAS is a full-fledged implementa on of TCAS II version 7.0 (aka change 7.0 aka MOPS 7.0)
logic, as specified by RTCA document DO-185A plus its amendments approved by SC-147A. Literally all features
of the logic are implemented with the excep on of TCAS/TCAS resolu on advisory (RA) nego a on and Mode S
ground sta ons. It is believed this is the most advanced TCAS II version 7.0 logic simula on in Flight Simulator.
The 757 DOES NOT include the Ver cal Speed Indicator version of the TCAS II gauge, but this addi on can be ob-
tained by downloading Lee’s freeware TCAS II gauge which is readily available on sites such as Flightsim.com.
The QualityWings Standard Panel (ONLY) can be made to accommodate the Freeware TCAS VSI with some simple
tweaks. QualityWings no longer supports this. It does work though!
TCAS Logic shown on EHSI (included)
TCAS Logic shown on VSI (Not included)

The Ul mate 757 Collec on Version 1.3 136
How to use:
To enable TCAS, access the EFIS Control Panel.
Select the TFC (Traffic bu on) and you will no ce a Green TFC symbol on the EHSI/ND. This is your indica on that
TCAS is working. You can change the range of the display on the EHSI/ND via the EFIS Control panels to see tar-
gets further out. Ver cal TCAS target range must be specified in the QW757.cfg file.
TcasVertRange= \\ Sets the TCAS ver cal range (default 3000 )
A maximum of 9000 can be chosen.
For more informa on on how to edit the QW757 config file, click here
TCAS Symbology
Al tudes
Traffic is displayed with one of four symbols, a two-digit rela ve al tude (e.g., +03 or -07) or a three-digit flight
level (e.g., 250), and an arrow indica ng a ver cal rate of at least +/- 500fpm. The al tude is indicated in units
of 100 , with a + indica ng above ourself and a - indica ng below for rela ve al tudes. The al tude tag, rela-
ve or absolute, will be posi oned above the symbol if the intruder is above own al tude or below the symbol
if the intruder is below own al tude
Resolu on Advisory (RA)
A red symbol indicates a Threat and is accompanied by an aural warning which will direct you to perform a spe-
cific maneuver. It can be a Climb, descend or even maintain command. An RA concludes with a "Clear of Con-
flict" aural alert.
Traffic Advisory (TA)
A yellow circle indicates a Poten al Threat and is accompanied by the aural warning "Traffic, Traffic" for a
Traffic Advisory (TA).
A TA generally precedes an RA by 15-20 seconds. If an RA or TA is already ac ve and a new TA appears, the
aural warning will be a single "Traffic."
Proximate Traffic
A white solid diamond indicates Proximate Traffic that is within 6nm and +/- 1200 ver cally and is not an RA
or TA:
Other Traffic
A white hollow diamond indicates Other Traffic that is within a se able ver cal range of own aircra . this
range can be defined via the QualityWings op ons file. default range is 3,000 feet.

Systems Programming
QualityWings understands that flight simmers come in MANY MANY different flavors. Some users love a hard-
core simula ng experience and want to be in control of every area of the aircra they are flying. They take pride
in learning systems and opera ng the aircra to every detail possible within the limita ons of Microso Flight
Simulator. There are also MANY MANY more users who couldn’t care less what’s going on with the aircra . They
want to fly from point A to point B as quickly as possible without having to setup an en re cockpit.
We have put A LOT of though into the design of the 757 panel and systems, and through a combina on of intui-
ve programming and a bunch of Customizable User op ons - we believe we have created a 757 experience that
EVERYONE can enjoy.
The real-life Boeing 757 is an incredibly complex aircra , with hundreds and hundreds of processing going on
“behind the scenes”...yet, a certain level of pilot interface is required. We have tried to create an experience that
does not overwhelm you, but it is sophis cated enough to keep you on your toes in some cases. For instance, on
the real 757 - when the A/P disengage bar is selected to disengage the Autopilot, it will remain down preven ng
re-engagement un l it is returned to it’s normal posi on. On the QualityWings 757, a er 5 seconds we return the
disengage bar back to normal. One less step for you to worry about. In another example, we allow you to control
the Air Condi oning Packs...but forget to turn them on before flight and you may be faced with an un mely sys-
tem warning.
Panel Modes: Standard vs. Lite Mode
Standard panel mode is the most realis c of the 2 panel modes and while it’s not extremely complicated, there
are users who really like a true Lite experience. Enter QualityWings LITE Mode. At the touch of a bu on, several
‘advanced func ons’ are disabled. Lite Mode consist of the following:
VNAV disabled.
Autoland disabled.
FLCH disabled.
Thrust Hold disabled.
Single bu on push complete start/shutdown op on (Start/Stop bu on displays on overhead panel).
Z key toggles on/off A/P.
CTRL-H toggles on/off heading Sel mode.
CTRL-Z toggles on/off al tude hold mode.
Ver cal speed window always open.
When Alt Hold is ac vated V/S hold is also ac vated.
LNAV will engage (not arm) if selected, it will immediately turn to the next ac ve wpt instead of flying the
current heading un l intercep ng track (intercept heading not required).
Autopilot can be turned on any me (even on the ground).
Speed/Mach hold can be ac vated any me (even on the ground).
Pressing CMD bu on toggles on/off autopilot.
Heading hold disabled (only Heading select is available, hdg hold box will light up however).
IRS will align whether aircra is in mo on or not.
Certain Level A Warning alarms disabled (Flaps,Stabilizer,Spoilers,Parking Brake).
In Overhead panel a 'Start/Stop' bu on displays..

QualityWings Op ons
In addi on to the “On the Fly” op ons available via the QualityWings Control Panel, there are over 100 other op ons
that can be set via a configura on file. The config file (QW757.cfg) can be found in the QualityWings folder within the
Flightsim folder:
\Flight Simulator 9\Qualitywings\QW757.cfg
\Microso Flight Simulator X\Qualitywings\QW757.cfg
By default, the QW757.cfg does not have many op ons set. If the op on is not in the cfg file, the default value for a
given parameter is always used. All op ons are conveniently available in another text file within the QualityWings fold-
er for copy and paste purposes.
For more informa on on the QualityWings Config file, check out this Video Tutorial:
h p://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51QEDqJXNNA
Available Op ons and Descrip ons
There are 2 types of op ons:
Enable/Disable Type Op ons and Variable User Customizable Op ons.
Enable/Disable type op ons require either “0” or a “1” to set the op on. Variable User Customizable Op ons allow you
to tweak (preset) certain op ons to your personal liking (within specified limits).
Notes:
Leaving an op on file blank sets an op on of zero “0”. This can cause confusion between values where “0” is used
to disable and where “0” can be used to set a parameter. If you do not intend to set an op on, make sure it is not
in the QW757.cfg file.

Recommended Sound Configura on Setup
To experience the awesome sound quality of the sounds included in this package, we recommend you adjust you
Sound Se ngs as follows:
Engines=55
Cockpit=75
Environment=75
Takeoff Callouts
Aural callouts are provided at 80 knots and at the appropriate V-Speeds as calculated by the FMS. Flap Retrac on
Callouts are also provided. A flightplan is NOT necessary for callouts. All you must do is access the takeoff page
prior to takeoff so that the V-Speeds can calculate. Click here to see more info about the Takeoff page.
Landing Checklist Callouts
The Landing Checklist callouts are available as long as the Landing Checklist op on is enabled in the QualityWings
Control panel . It is disabled by default.
The prerequisites for the checklist are as follows:
Approach Ref Speeds Set via the FMC. Just as with the Takeoff callouts, a flightplan is NOT necessary. Just
access the Approach page while in-flight and set your desired Landing Flaps. Click here to see more info
about the Approach page.
Arrival Runway defined in the FMS. Flightplan not necessary, but a des na on must be entered on the RTE
page. Click here to see more info about the Route page.
You must be less than 5 miles away from the runway
You must be less than 1,500 feet radio Al tude
Aircra must be within 15 degrees of the runway centerline
When entering the checklist threshold (1500 and 5 miles out), the callout “Landing Checklist” will sound. If you
selected the op on to display the Checklist on EICAS in the QualityWings Config file, the checklist will show on the
Upper EICAS. As you complete items on the checklist—the color will change from Yellow (Item incomplete) to
Green (Item Completed)
The following items will be called out:
Spoilers
Your ac on - Arm the spoilers (Shi + /)
Flaps
Your ac on - Set Flaps to landing Flaps set on Approach ref page. At this point in approach, flaps should be
near landing flaps.
Gear
Your ac on - Extend Landing gear
Once all items are complied with, the callout “Landing Checklist Complete” lets you know you are setup for land-
ing. Don’t blow it lol

Folder Structure
Aircra Models, Panels, Sounds and Textures
QualityWings objects can be found in the Aircra folder of FS9 and the Simobjects\Airplanes folder in FSX
1 ‐ Aircra Folder
There are 7 QualityWings Aircra folders containing
all 15 models. Each aircra folder contains all models
and most textures needed, but not all aircra folders
contain panels and sounds. Only the QualityWings
752 Passenger and QualityWings 753 Passenger fold-
ers contain Panels. Only the 752 folder contains
sounds. Each aircra folder has an Aircra .cfg file and
all needed .Air files (Flight Dynamics)
2 ‐ Model Folders
PW=Pra & Whitney
RR=Rolls Royce
RR535C=Rolls Royce 535C Engine Model
WL=Has Winglets
WV=Wingview Model
VC=Virtual Cockpit Model (This folder no longer pre-
sent a er SP2 as the VC/Wv models are now com-
bined into one model)
3 ‐ Panel Folders
Panel.main - Has all Standard main panel files
Panel.main_VC - 2D Views removed
Panel.mainHD - Has all Widescreen main panel files

Panel.retroHD_VC - 2D Views removed
**NOTE: Virtual Cockpit models MUST use panels with the “_VC” suffix to prevent conflicts with sta c 2D views
4 ‐ Sound Folders
Sound.pw - Contains all Pra & Whitney Sound files. Only the QualityWings 752 Passenger has the files. All other
aircra are aliased to this folder
Sound.rr - Contains all Rolls Royce Sound files. Only the QualityWings 752 Passenger has the files. All other air-
cra are aliased to this folder
5 ‐ Texture Folder
Each texture folder contains MOST of the texture necessary for the livery. Common textures such as Virtual Cock-
pit bmps can be found in a common texture folder which differs between FS9 and FSX. FS9 Common textures can
be found In the QualityWings folder while commons in FSX are inside the QualityWings 752 Passenger\Common
folder. The contents differ between pla orms.

Aircra .cfg File Refresher
Shown below are the contents of the QualityWings 752 passenger AIRCRAFT folder. In the Folder Structure sec-
on, we explained what each folder is responsible for. In this sec on, we will show the rela onship between the
folder and the Aircra .cfg file.
[Fltsim Sec on]
Each flightsim sec on of an aircra configura on file represents a different version (configura on) of the aircra ,
and is known as a configura on set. Configura on sets allow a single aircra container to represent several air-
cra , and allow those aircra to share components. If there is only one sec on (labeled [fltsim.0]), it is because
there is only one configura on set in that aircra container. If there is more than one configura on set (labeled
[fltsim.0], [fltsim.1], [fltsim.2], and so on), each one refers to a different version of the aircra .
Title Sec on
The tle of the aircra . All flightsim aircra must have different tle
Sim Sec on
Specifies which AIR (flight model) file to use. The file is located in the same folder as the aircra configura on file.
Model Sec on
Specifies which model folder to reference.
Panel Sec on
Specifies which panel folder to reference. Panels with “HD” have widescreen (16:10) are default
**NOTE: Virtual Cockpit models MUST use panels with the “_VC” suffix to prevent conflicts with sta c 2D views
Sound Sec on
Specifies which sound folder to reference.
Texture Sec on
Specifies which texture folder to reference. Folder suffixes must be added like so [Texture.abc]. Cfg would say
Texture=abc

Fuselage Masters
The fuselage masters are the star ng point for an airline livery job. This is where the en re fuselage can be paint-
ed as well as the Ver cal Stabilizer. This PSD is only an area to paint as it has no func on within the simulator.
Once you are finished, pain ng on the .psd, the image must be fla ened and then cut up to be used in several
other bitmaps. The fla en process must be done twice: once for the le side and once for the right side.
There are 6 different Masters:
QW752F Fuselage Master.psd B757-200 Passenger (FS9 or FSX)
QW753 Fuselage Master.psd B757-300 Passenger (FS9 or FSX)

Preparing your livery for Installa on
INSTRUCTIONS
Advanced users
You can install livery manually, but make sure you check the Livery Manager Format for the variant you’re
pain ng and make sure you have all files necessary. Edit the Aircra Config files as necessary.
Beginners
We recommend preparing your livery so that it can be installed automa cally via the QualityWings Livery Manag-
er. When you are done with your repaint, check the Livery Manager Format for the variant you’re pain ng and
make sure you have all files necessary. You must edit the Texture.ini file in the Livery Manager Format Folder
with the informa on for your livery.
Here's a sample Texture.INI. This is a Con nental Airlines 757-300. Con nental added Winglets to their 757-300s,
but at the me this manual was printed s ll had some 757-300s without winglets. We wanted to allow for BOTH
models to show, for both the VC and WV:

Op ons for the [QW757_Repaint.General]
texture=COA
This is the texture varia on suffix that will be created
atc_id=N75851
atc_airline=CONTINENTAL
These two will be the same for all varia ons of the same base model for this repaint. So, all 4 Con nental
varia ons will have the same atc codes.
des na on=QualityWings 753 Passenger
This is very important, and it's the des na on folder, which also tells the program which is the base model
for this repaint. This info is only used by the Livery Manager and is not copied in the aircra .cfg. The common
textures in FS9 (and the "thumbnail.jpg" and "texture.cfg" in FSX) will be taken from the "texture" folder un-
der THIS folder. There can be only one des na on folder. This means, if you have a repaint that can be used
on more than one base model, you need to create two separate .ZIP, each one with its own different tex-
ture.cfg that will point to the correct des na on.
Op ons for the [QW757_fltsim.XX] sec ons:
[QW757_fltsim.0]
Progressive number of the varia on, always star ng from 0
tle=QualityWings 757-200 RB211-535E4B WV
Title of the airplane. This is not very important for the Livery Manager, but all tles should be different in
Flight Simulator.
model=RR_WV
The model string is important because the Livery Manager uses informa on to create informa on for other
Aircra .cfg sec on
ui_varia on=Con nental Airlines [Winglets]
This is what will be listed on the "Installed Repaints" listbox.
NOTE:
It is not possible to remove just one varia on of a repaint: if one has installed the 4 varia ons of the Con -
nental 753 Passenger repaints, all 4, including the texture folder will be removed.
FSX: A er you install your paint, you may create your own customized .jpg thumbnail, as a generic thumbnail
is provided just to get you going.
Crea ng .QWL file
When you are ready, select all files and send them to a compressed folder. Rename the new compressed folder
and change the extension from .ZIP to QWL. Please note, that you may have to change your Windows ‘Folder
Op ons’ to show file extensions (Uncheck Hide extensions for known file types). Your livery is now Livery manag-
er Ready!

QualityWings Livery/Load Manager
A QualityWings Livery and Load Manager is provided to allow for installa on/uninstalla on of liveries. It also al-
lows you to set desired Payload (passenger and Cargo). The Livery manager reads files forma ed in QualityWings
format (.qwl) ONLY. The Manager IS installed automa cally. The 757 installer now creates a QualityWings pro-
gram group under the Windows Start bu on, which includes both a link to this manual, and a link to install the
Livery Manager. It's also possible to find the setup.exe in the FS\QualityWings\LiveryManager setup folder.
A er the installa on, the Livery/Load Manager itself will appear as a normal icon under the Start menu, in the
QualityWings group, together with the users manual.
The program it's very easy to use: it works in two modes, FS9 and FSX, and it's possible to switch between the
two, if both sims are installed and the QW757 is installed on both sims. If only one sim is used, or the QW757 is
installed only on that, the mode is fixed.
The list of installed repaints contains the House Livery versions, but these CANNOT be removed.
Please Run the Livery/Load manager as an Administrator!
Please Run the Livery/Load manager prior to loading a QW Aircra !

FLYING THE 757
www.qwsim.com qwsim.flight1.net
The Ul mate 757 Collec on Version 1.3 173
Flying the Ul mate 757
By Nick Peterson
For you to get the most enjoyment out of this simula on, I thought I'd give everyone a li le basic in-
struc on on opera ng techniques for the B757. These were (are) used at the Major US airline I flew for
and we used RR powered -200s only, so any other type or other
company may have there own techniques.
For taxi:
No more than 35%N1 should be needed for breakaway thrust. At close in gates you do not want to
blow a bunch of stuff around. At light weights the plane will almost start rolling on it's own. Usually it
was about 28%N1 to get moving. Once you are taxiing, occasionally you will need a li le thrust to keep
her going, but it should roll at idle thrust. For 90deg turns taxi speed should be no more than 10-12kts
(we used the ground speed read out in the EADI). Over 15kts you will scrub the nose gear res.
For takeoff:
We mainly used Flaps 5. Flaps 15 would be used for airports like DCA, SNA, SAN and so on. Occasional-
ly, we would use Flaps 20 out of Lihue or DCA for heavy loads. It is a very capable plane performance
wise. We could take 190pax and 60,000lbs of fuel out of a 6000 runway!! Try that Airbus hahaha .
Max thrust was seldom used. Typical de-rates were 42C all the way to 63C if we were really light. It de-
pended on runway length, weight, flap se ng and obstacles in the departure path. I mainly remember
a lot of 55-58C de-rates. These would be from 10,000 foot runways. At max thrust and light weights the
accelera on is downright scary. You can easily be airborne in less than 2500 . I have climbed from San
Diego to FL 390 in about 13 minutes.
Trim se ng varied depending on flap se ng. Of course every flight we received the weight and bal-
ance and that had the exact numbers so these come mostly from memory:
Flap 5 typical se ngs were about 3.9-4.5 units nose up.
Flap 15 and 20 typical trim was about 4.8-5.5 units nose up.
Once lined up on the runway, the pilot flying would advance the thrust lever to about 60% and hit "THR
on the mode control panel" This is to make sure the engines were spooled before engaging the au-
tothro le. Rota on rate is about 2.5-3.0 degrees per second. The simplest way is to count...."one thou-
sand one, on thousand two, on thousand three." That's how long your rota on should take. The lowest
tail clearance occurs with flaps 5 and a er the main gear are in the air. I believe it was a li le less than
26 inches(66cm or so).
Ini al pitch (again depending on weight) was anywhere from 16-20deg. nose up. We climbed to 1,000
feet AFE (above field eleva on) then began accelera on. At 1000 feet we would select climb thrust,
VNAV (or FLCH) and begin to retract flaps. For a flap 15(or 20) departure it would be flaps 5, flaps 1,
flaps up. For flap 5 just flap 1 and flap up. There would be 20 kts spacing between each flap se ng
and the retrac on schedule depended on weight. We would be clean by 190-210kts.
www.qwsim.com qwsim.flight1.net
The Ul mate 757 Collec on Version 1.3 174
For Climb:
250kts to 10,000 . The schedule was based on the FMC, but I can say most of the me it was 296-
310kts to Mach Crossover. Then, usually M.785-M.801. For a heavy weight departure (say 250,000lbs)
we would go usually no higher than FL340 ini ally. Maybe FL360. At that weight you are not going
straight to FL390, you are just too heavy. A few hours into the flight you could head up to FL380 or
FL390. Never go above FL380 unless you are less than 200,000lbs, the margins get pre y small.
Fuel planning: Figure 10,000lbs for your 1st hour of flight, then 8,000 pounds per hour a er that. Land-
ing fuel depended on the weather but on a VFR day it was about 8-9,000 lbs and with an alternate
about 12-14,000 lbs. The lowest I landed with was about 6,000lbs and that's pre y darn light. IFR 45
min reserve is 5.1 or so and that is what we put in the INIT REF page on the FMC.
Cost Index depended on the winds. Usually 30/50/70. 30 for a tailwind, 70 for a headwind. Going to
Hawaii it was Mach .80 and we did not use CI because we were filed at a constant Mach number.
For Descent:
Plan to be 30 miles from the airport at 10,000 feet. If it's straight in, 40 miles out a 10,000 feet. Below
10,000 feet at typical rate of descent at idle thrust was around 1400 feet per minute. You could get
about 23-2500 feet per minute with speed brakes.
Approach Planning:
For approach planning, plan to be at 250kts at 10,000 . If you are landing straight in, be er make it 40
miles out at 10,000 . An idle descent at 250kts will give you about 1200-1400 feet per minute,
2400fpm with speedbrakes out. If you descend at 2000fpm the airplane WILL accelerate,
even at idle thrust. The best I have ever done is 210kts to about 10 miles out, and the was as ght as I
wanted to go. A captain once told me, "if you are star ng to be slightly concerned about coming in too
fast you shoulda slowed down five miles ago!"
Arrival:
We used LNAV un l about 12 miles out. The LOC in the real airplane was notorious for zig- zagging
across the LOC, so we'd use LNAV to about 12 out, then hit LOC. Only hit APP when you are on the LOC
as the AP will follow the G/S down without localizer capture and that is very bad when you are around
high terrain.
Configuring for landing depended on the weight. This is perhaps the only plane I have ever flown
where some mes it is harder to slow down when it is light versus heavy. The wing is very efficient and
it just glides and glides.
Let's use an example of 194,000lbs landing weight. I'd have to look at the table but I remember VRef
being around 130kts. In zero wind we add 5 kts for an approach speed of 135kts. We add 40kts to 130
and 80 kts to 130 to get our flap extension speeds. So in our example our bugs would be set at 130,
Orange MCP bug(speed window) to 135, then 170 at 210 for flap speeds.
To configure for landing we slow first, then extend flaps. So in the above example we slow to 210, call
www.qwsim.com qwsim.flight1.net
The Ul mate 757 Collec on Version 1.3 175
flaps 1. At 190, flaps 5.
The slowest we could fly flaps 5 is 170kts, one of our bugged speeds. At G/S capture, call gear down,
flaps 20 and arm the speedbrakes.
At about 150kts we would call flaps 30 for the final configura on. For simple terms, the above speeds
will work in about every condi on. Autobrakes typically 2, but 1-4 were used if necessary.
Once stabilized, it was about 60%N1 or so to hold speed on glidepath.
Now the final part, landing technique, I'll put out there the disclaimer that this was MY technique. As
we say in the States there are 80 ways to skin a cat and landing a 757 is no excep on. So this is what
worked best for me:
Trim usually wound up being around 8-9.5 units nose up. At really light weights(say 160,000lbs or so)
the plane was not easy to land at all. Vref was very low, around 115kts and the plane did not like flying
that slow. The controls were mushy and it just kinda waddled in. My TECHNIQUE was to never select an
approach speed less than 125kts, and that seemed to work pre y good.
At about 1500 AFE I would usually disconnect the AP and A/T to hand fly. As I crossed the threshold I
waited for the al tude callouts. At this point (let's use the 135kts and 190,000lbs example) the speed
would be 135kts, thrust around 60%N1 and pitch around 2.5 deg. Nose up. The GPWS would call 50,
40, 30, 20......at 20 I would hesitate only slightly, then raise the nose a few degrees to lower the rate of
descent. Once I had the pitch, by this me 10 would be called, I would hold that pitch and slowly re-
duce thrust to idle. If it worked out right you would hit idle exactly the same moment the main wheels
touched. The next step is to land the nosewheel, which is easier said then done. It kind of always just
went clunk.
We used max reverse, though I guess some carriers are using idle reverse to save fuel. At 80kts we
would reduce reverse to idle at 60kts and stow the reversers.
Then all that was le was to clear the runway, clean up the flaps and such, and off to the beach!

In order to be er assist you, you need to be as SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE as to the nature of your problem
In addi on, the following informa on is REQUIRED in your post to receive support!
What pla orm did you experience difficul es? FS9 or FSX?
What opera ng System do you use?
Other informa on to consider providing:
Have you recently made any changes to your PC (Hardware or so ware)
HELP US HELP YOU. Vague descrip ons of problems will hinder our ability to help you and only cause delays in
resolving your issue. .
A quick Note to consider before reques ng support
A LOT of me and effort has been put into developing this manual. Communica on between the development
team and the end-user (YOU) is paramount here at QualityWings Simula ons, and hopefully that is reflected in
the manner that this manual was put together. We ask that you CAREFULLY read this manual while you become
familiar with the aircra . We understand that you may want to just “jump right in”...and we have gone through
great lengths to make sure that you can do that. But all good pilots put in some level of prepara on before every
flight. Do not be in midated by the size of this manual. Informa on is VERY easy to find through the use of book-
marks which are enabled by default.
Before you request support, may we suggest that you check this manual carefully.
Happy Flying :-)

FSX Na ve Models
This Service Pack features many new features and addresses some Post Sp1 Bugs. Perhaps the most significant
feature of this Service Pack is that the FSX Version now features FSX Na ve models. The development of the FSX
Na ve models was a radical change from the original FSX Compa ble models and the Na ves allow for several
product improvements for FSX Users. The FSX Na ve models allow for the following improvements in FSX:
Be er Exterior Model performance in FSX * (Note 1)
Be er Virtual Cockpit performance in FSX * (Note 1)
Higher Quality bitmaps for the Virtual Cockpit
High Quality Exterior textures (QWHDT – QualityWings High Defini on Textures)
Bump and specular mapping for Exterior textures
Wingview and Virtual Cockpit combined in one model. No more choosing WV or VC prior to flight!
Improved Virtual Cockpit Ligh ng including independent control of the Text Backligh ng and Flood ligh ng
The new FSX na ve models correct the following Pre SP2 issues:
Mul player func onality
New Features
In addi on to the improvements on the FSX side of the product, both pla orms include 2 very exci ng new fea-
tures:

* Statement on Performance (Note 1)
The Pre SP2 models for FSX were what are called Non Na ve FSX models. They were compa ble with FSX, but not
designed for FSX. Some users reported performance issues with the FSX product in the Exterior and VC views. The
New FSX models significantly improved performance on ALL QualityWings team FSX setups. PCs of varying capa-
bili es were tested! Several performance benchmarks were done on the model and we are excited and sa sfied
with the level of performance of the FSX product – much more so than SP1.
It must be noted however that FSX is, has been and will always test the capability of even the best PCs. It is im-
possible to guarantee performance gains due to the unbelievable amount of varia ons between everyone’s FSX
setup. There are a million opinions on how to customize se ngs correctly, but in reality – each user has to be
honest with his or herself about their PCs capability to enjoy ANY FSX Add-on.
In our tests, we did note the following:
On PCs which generally do a good job of handling FSX, performance gains were more evident than a PC
which was struggling with FSX in the first place.
Leaving your Frame rates locked is not always as beneficial as leaving it Unlimited! FSX can work harder to
maintain a Locked rate than it will without rate restric on.
The Standard Cockpit performs slightly be er than the retrofit. The Retrofit Cockpit has bigger screens and
uses more resources to draw gauges.
We did not see any significant degrada on in performance between Standard liveries and QWHDT Liveries
Tips
1. Keep your PC defragmented. This is one of the biggest contributors to doggy flightsim performance. Default
FSX aircra do not tax your system nearly as much as detailed 3rd party addons
2. The QW Config file has a couple of op ons that can help improve performance:
When you click on a display such as the ADI or EHSI, blanking the gauge in the spot where the pop up was
prevents the gauge from being drawn twice.
Gauge Refresh se ngs allow you to tweak gauge refresh rates if needed.

- VREF Approach Speeds for 210k lbs Grwt and below increased (2)
- Above 190K Flaps 25 Vref increased from 136 kts -> 142 kts (2)
- Below 190K Flaps 25 Vref increased from 128 kts -> 135 kts (2)
- Yaw Dampers now turn on automa cally when switching to LITE mode.
FIXES:
- FMS - APP page - Approach List does not filter when STAR/Runway is selected on ARR page.
- Aircra accelerates to climb speed approx 200 below accel ht.
- ND/MFD not drawing route line from plane to new DCT TO waypoint is entered in FMS.
- Landing checklist (LdgCheckList=1) .cfg se ng not being set on startup.
- FMC not applying STAR database al tude restric ons correctly on LEGS page.
- FMS Place/Bearing/Distance func on on Legs page not working (displays invalid entry).
- Retro PFD alt bug does not match MCP alt window when on ground.
- ND map mode remains oriented to heading rather than track in Map mode.
- Takeoff callouts do not play when EADI does not have speed tape displayed.
- Premature switch to alt restric on speed in VNAV descent.
- EADI Round mode - Fast Slow indicator speed bug displays in reverse.
- MCP - when switching to LITE mode, A/P modes not in synch with MCP panel mode windows.
- Vnav descent - Speed changes back to CRZ speed when at intermediate level off al tude.
- MCP - FD some mes won't engage if a/c is loadd from default Cessna C&D situa on.
- Aircra pitching up and then down during Glideslope capture. This caused a diving issues.
New QW Config op ons:
WindVectorDegVar=1 - This se ng displays the wind vector and digital wind display from source Magne c North
instead of True (default).
ExtPwrAvailWithApuOn=1 - This se ng keeps external power available when the APU is on (ext pwr is now off
when the APU is on by default)
UseATForVnavDesc=1 - This se ng uses the autothro le to control speed during VNAV descent (by default now
the a/c adjusts the thro le directly in VNAV descent for speed hold. This allows the thrust levers to be moved to
idle when the aircra is faster than the target VNAV speed.
FlchMinIas= - Minimum indicated IAS FLCH will engage at (default is 150 kts)
FlchMaxIas= - Minimum indicated IAS FLCH will engage at (default is 340 kts)
Notes:
(1) For the purposes of compability with ground programs such as AES.
(2) Address issue of Aircra falling below GS on approach by increasing the approach speeds for a more stable
approach.
