This project of mine is the first plane I ever built with a functioning LCD display! Well rather just the Artificial Horizon and the Vertical Speed graphic, and to an extent the Autopilot display but still, this is very exciting for me because for the longest time all the LCD displays I built are static and poorly made. It wasn't even flat with some details jutting out by a substantial margin. Making one again gave me a chance to revamp some design aspects, mostly with futureproof and easy customisation in mind. So much of the detail could to an extent, be altered to fit other designs.

This project is also the first project I applied enhanced taxiing performance activated by AG3, this means that when activated; the plane would turn easier on the ground via Yaw inputs, it is mandatory to turn off this system before Take-Off.

There is a new experimental feature I want to try, and that is ACAS, by warning a pilot of an impending collision with another aircraft, this is achieved by using a missile that will take forever to lock on, with ample locking angle, short lock range, and can be turned off by AG6. Any concerns regarding this feature please comment them down here.

For the past three uploads, you may have noticed that I have uploaded planes in a short amount of time each corresponding weekend, not this time since the plane this 757 is supposed to partner up with is not ready.
