Meet Boeing 757
The 757 first flew in 1982 and entered service in 1983. It paired a new wing and large underwing engines with a two-pilot electronic-instrument cockpit. The -200 became the main production version, joined later by the stretched -300 and dedicated freight developments.
Its cockpit shares substantial design thinking with the wider 767, but the airframes and systems remain distinct. FlightFactor's simulator products also offer specific engine, passenger and cargo configurations, so the package details are an important part of the reference.

Systems, loading and cockpit-building facilities
FlightFactor describes custom hydraulic and electrical systems, a three-channel autopilot with failure dependencies, and loading and fuel changes that affect centre of gravity. The product also provides cockpit-interaction and live-dataref facilities for builders. Passenger, cargo and engine choices belong to the selected package, so those options should be checked alongside the systems description.
