Class B airspace can decide how to descent change my heading etc since there s no ATC to help or to disturb my planned path After entering the ILS frequency of 27L KMIA the CS 757 picks it up very well and as can be seen on the last three screenshots nicely and smooth the 757 is descending along the GS and keeping the LOC as it should be Manual flaps and gear are lowered according to the calculated values checklist and in the mean time enjoy the outside view of downtown Miami Although the extreme pitch was a little too much really enjoyed flying this CS 757 Series not only because of the detailed cockpits or highly realistic external mode but also due to the nice flight dynamics Sound Looking closely in the associated Windows directories CS offers separate sound sets for either the RR or PW engines Not only different directories but checked some specific sound files and they really are different and thus sound different By the way not only are the engine sounds different but also cockpit and other environmental sounds are added to these packages I m not familiar with the RR and PW engine sounds nor the cockpit ones but with my general Airbus aviation experience think it s well recorded and as real as it can get file EI A VSIM Reviews CS 20757 CS757 htm 16 of 19 23 09 2008 7 03 31 PM AVSIM Online Flight Simulation s Number 1 Site Summary Closing Remarks In one word awesome I ve seen many a
