Well, if it's a choice between this and the one PSS are working on, this should be great! At least CaptainSim's planes work and they have a much better reputation for customer support.

Looks beautiful CS. Congrats!

Im glad you are working on the 757 over the 767 as the latter has already been done and released by a couple of other developers, but then again their modellers and repainters I dont think can hold a torch to the beauty you create.

I just hope the systems are accurate, and there is detailed and as few bugs possible FMC which seems to be something I read so many complaining about on various forums on heavy releases from other developers

My life is like the movie Office Space

what's wrong with the 727? I am honestly curious because I fly it often and I didn't notice anything wrong with it.

It yaws like a pig ... at slow speed it's a nightmare to fly, it flares like a drunk elephant and if you don't keep ahead of the plane you wind up pancaking on the runway. Awesome!

Of the top of my head, the throttles are way too sensitive, the command bars are off by about 5 degrees on the vetical scale, engine start click spots are too small making it hard to start and the VOR capturing isn't very good (and yes even within the 35 degree tolerance).

Well ... the Level-D guys already did that ... and ironically ... they also started working on a 757 version.

Seems like we are going to get 2 757s at the same time ...

Just my 2c: I will choose the 757 that has the best frame-rate and better system accuracy. Don't really care if they don't look gorgeous.

I love great looking models like the next simmer but if you need to ask for an home equity loan on your house to buy a computer powerful enough to run a model ... it's not worth it (I am taking a jab at the PMDG 737s which, albeit beautiful they are needlessly high polygons and low frame rates). I still fly them but I often wonder why they needed to make it so graphic heavy.

PS: I just bought the Captain Sim 707 and it's a dream!!

Interesting ... you are more into details then I am, then, I admit. I am more into how it handles and i like to hand fly it a lot (and it requires a lot of that since the AP is pityful ... as it should be).

I don't start it "cold and dark" either and for navigation I use FSNav.

Well when I pay for somthing I want it to work ( I'll wait for patches, I'll expect it not to be perfect out of the box).

The CS C-130 is one of, if not the best out there, I've bought all the addons for it as well. The 727 has been waiting for a patch for a long time and I'd love to see it soon, the model is perfect, but the systems aren't.

Just my 2c worth
