Attention:
There is no possibility to load panel states with the 757 Captain, you have to create a Dark&Cold
flight. This step only has to be done once, you can reload the flight anytime.
Load up FSX/FS9
Start a flight with the standard Cessna
Engine off
Check avionics button on (or you wont be able to activate a NAV frequency)!!!
Battery 1 & 2 off
Load new aircraft any 757 type
Modify cockpit as desired (size off sub-windows in 2d-mode)
Save flight for all your future flights

Load all wing tanks with same amount of fuel; outer tanks full center tanks.
Note: CaptainSim messed up the weights, the 757-200 OEW is 134.100 lbs (RR) / 128.300 lbs (PW)
in reality, the maximum structural payload is 49.910 (RR) / 55.600 (PW).
With this lighter plane and the ZFW reduced by 19.000 you can carry more fuel than the real aircraft
relative to your payload.
