After several weeks of quiet development, BlueBird Simulations has moved its Boeing 757 into stage one of beta testing, the first time external testers have had access to the plane.

In a brief message posted to their Discord server, BlueBird confirmed that while not every system is fully implemented yet, this new phase represents a significant step forward. BlueBird also posted a beta roadmap, outlining the three planned stages of the testing phase.

BlueBird explained that this initial testing stage focuses on select systems, with external feedback now helping shape the aircraft’s refinement. 

The team expects all three planned beta phases to take many months, stretching well into 2026, as they continue to polish systems and ensure stability across both MSFS 2020 and 2024.

An in-depth update video and further screenshots are expected either later this year or shortly after the Christmas period.
