British Airways 757 by World Airline Simulation Software Co.

Can Anyone tell me if "World Airline Simulation's" "British Airways 757" Works on FS2002 Professional, It says Its optimized for FS2000 but I don't want to install it if it Knackers my Game.

Any help would be appreciated.

It works, but there are a few glitches. The aircraft model works fine. At the JustFlight webpage you can get an updated panel.cfg that will allow you to properly view the other panel views in cockpit view (the panel is the same as in the PSS Classics 757 package). In order to be able to import default FS2002 flightplans into the FMC, you will need to create a dummy c:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\FS2000\pilots folder and copy all flightplans you wish to use into that folder, otherwise the FMC will claim that there are no flightplans available for import. Also, in some rare cases, when switching between different panel views you will get a pop up error message that says (I'm quoting directly) "##### - possibly cannot find the window". It's apparently some old coding the programmers forgot to delete. Once you click on OK everything is fine. Since WAS has gone belly up, there isn't much hope for a patch from them. I don't know if PSS are planning to release a patch for the panel (they created it).

it crashes all the time on my WinXP PC. it starts off ok, but after a while, it dies. :(

the plane is never mentioned on the PSS forums, hopefully they'll put 5 minutes into it some day and get this sorted...

many thanks for your help, I take it though that it still works using the options pull down menu to contact ATC for clearance instead of having the button on the panel?

It really Pis@?# me off that they have gone down. I'm getting fed up of having to check 'unspecified' to use them. The patch site still has the Christmas Break messages!!!!!
