I do not fly Captainsim 757 but I do have it as I am sure everybody has it when CaptainSim offers it for lousy ten bucks once every year. For ten
bucks, Captainsim 757 makes a good model posing for screenshots but do not want to fly it until I get more powerful computer.  It is just sitting
in my laptop's hanger.

It can easily be done in desktop computers BUT not not in laptops as I have indicated in previous post that I am using laptop hence me preferring to wait to buy pc later.
