This is an update for FSX of the B757-200, no winglets, by Project Open Sky.  I have added a HUD to both panels; changed the sound; corrected the contact points; and updated the flight dynamics.

Unzip to a folder of your choice.  Copy the aircraft to the main FS airplanes folder.

[Reference Speeds]
flaps_up_stall_speed    = 140.00
full_flaps_stall_speed  = 115.00
cruise_speed            = 460.00		//Knots over the ground at 35,000 ft. (278 indicated) [mach 0.80]
max_indicated_speed=550.00
max_mach=0.96

The HUD in a window is only for the VC and can be toggled off by the compass icon on the 2D panel if it is active when you use the 2D panel.  In the VC you will have to use the instrument panel menu to toggle the HUD window on or off.

If you don't want the VC there, go into the aircraft.cfg file and remove the vc from the model= line.

Any of the textures for the POSKY B757-200 no winglets, should be usable with this update.

At cruise speed and altitude you can go up to 16x time compression without the nose bobbing up and down.  You may want to do that for those long over water flights that would otherwise be very borring.  For some that might mean that the aircraft is unstable while stopped on the ground.  If this happens, add 50,000 units of pitch MOI value to the pitch MOI line in the aircraft.cfg file.  If it still bounces, add more to the pitch MOI value until it stops bouncing.  If you have to add to the MOI value, you might not be able to use 16x time compression at cruise altitude without the nose bobbing up and down.

Anyone:  You have my permission to use any of my updates with the following conditions:  One, you don't try to make money with them.  Two, you don't try to hurt, or take something from anyone by using them.
