 Introduction
The Boeing 757 is a mid-size, narrow-body twin-engine jet airliner that was built by Boeing Commercial Airplanes from 1981 to 2004. It is the manufacturer's largest single-aisle passenger aircraft. The twinjet has a two-crewmember glass cockpit, turbofan engines, a conventional tail and, for reduced aerodynamic drag, a supercritical wing design. The 757 was designed concurrently with a wide-body twinjet, the 767, and owing to shared features pilots can obtain a common type rating that allows them to operate both aircraft.
The 757 was produced in two fuselage lengths. The original 757-200 entered service in 1983; the 757-200PF, a package freighter (PF) variant, and the 757-200M, a passenger-freighter combi model, debuted in the late 1980s. The stretched 757-300, the longest narrow-body twinjet ever produced, began service in 1999. Passenger 757-200s have been modified to special freighter (SF) specification for cargo use, while military derivatives include the C-32 transport, VIP carriers, and other multi-purpose aircraft. Private and government operators have also customized the 757 for research and transport roles. All 757s are powered by Rolls-Royce RB211 or Pratt & Whitney PW2000 series turbofans.
Production of the 757 ended on October 28, 2004, after 1,050 had been built for 54 customers. The 757-200 was by far the most popular model, with 913 built. Diminished sales amid an airline industry trend toward smaller jetliners led Boeing to end production without a direct replacement, in favor of the 737 family. The last 757 was delivered to Shanghai Airlines on November 28, 2005.  In 2011, 898 of the narrow-body twinjets were in airline service

757-200SF
The 757-200SF, a conversion of passenger 757-200s for cargo use, entered service with DHL Aviation in 2001.  Modifications by Boeing Wichita in Kansas included the removal of passenger amenities, main deck structural reinforcement, and the installation of a 757-200PF forward fuselage section with a port-side cargo door.  The forward two entry doors are retained, resulting in a main deck cargo capacity of 14 pallets, which is one less than the 757-200PF.  Environmental controls can be fitted for animal cargo, and rear exits and window pairs are retained on some aircraft.  Besides Boeing, Israel Aerospace Industries and ST Aerospace Services have also handled 757-200SF conversions.  In September 2006, FedEx Express announced a US$2.6 billion plan to acquire over 80 converted 757 freighters to replace its 727 fleet.  In July 2011, 70 converted 757-200SFs were in service.    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_757

Installation
***************************************************************************
FSX/P3D
Just unzip the file and send to your " ... Flightsim/SimObjects/Airplanes/  " folder
No need to move gauges, all gauges can remain in the aircraft Panel folder. 
Cut and Paste the effects into the main effects folder.
To un-install the VC you need to go into the aircraft.cfg and change the line "model=vc"  to "model="
This will change the model from the virtual cockpit model to the wing view model. 


***************************************************************************
FS2004
Just unzip the file and send the Aircrafts folder to the FS2004 AIRCRAFT FOLDER.
Then, copy or cut the gauge files from the Panel folder and paste into the main gauge folder. 
Copy effects into the main effects folder.
To un-install the VC you need to go into the aircraft.cfg and change the line "model=vc"  to "model="
This will change the model from the virtual cockpit model to the wing view model.

Since original release the model has been updated and FDE's (flight characteristics) improved, however some of the original gauges are incompatible with FSX and will not be loaded. These should not impact on flying too much but if it is unacceptable please use the 2D panels.

For additional information on flying characteristics refer to the B757 Operations manual.
