I am in the planning stages of building a cockpit - ideally I want to build a 757. I have considered going down the route of using LevelD and having a 767 using FlightDeckSolutions hardware (I understand it works with LevelD), as the 767 is very similar to a 757. Further to this, I am guessing that the 757 currently in development from LevelD will have SDK as good as the 757, and this will enable me to use the same hardware as I would use for the 767.
However, I am looking at using Project Magenta for the 757. I have been looking at the Boeing Demos from Project Magenta. I can see that they have a 747 style MCP, which is the same as a 757 MCP so no probs there. I have also noted that they have the EFIS, PFD etc for 757/767. However, is there a way of having a 757 FMS7CDU? If so, how would you select this style of FMS? I can select 767-300 but the CDU doesn't change from the 737 style. Also, is specifications for a 757 stored anywhere in Project magenta?
I guess the main question is - can you use Project Magenta for a 757?
Cheers,
Mark
