Hi there,
Does anyone have any experience with the Block F package? I'd be glad to see some opinions from persons having and testing it already before purchasing!
Greetings, neu

I don;t have the Block F package, but If it like anything Captainsim makes it will have amazing details, and if its like the 757 base package it will be very hard on the FPS, all I get with it (the 757 base package) is a slide show.

The Block F package is only available for FS9.
I am waiting for the FSX version and then I'll buy the 757 total package (well maybe not the freighter).
A modern plane without an FMC or similar is no plane at all.

Well, I decided to give it a shot, and I purchased it. I have mixed feelings. just like before, graphics wise it's the most awesome model ever, it looks much better, and more detailed than enything else. Obviously you have to have a good PC to fly this baby. It indeed has an FMC, also the systems are more detailed in functionality. Basically it works, but I don't have the same stable, solid feeling like for the PMDG or Level-D jets I fly usually. In those cases, I have the feeling that those were planned like this from the ground up, but the Captain Sim 757 is patch over patch. The other issue for online flyers is that no AIRAC database update is available, so the latest info is simply not reachable. They have a better database than the default MS anyway. I don't know if there will be updates on this. The good thing is that it can read any MSFS format flightplans, so if you FSBuild or similar route planner which can export to default MSFS format, then you can load it. I have some issues with this too, but basically it's working if you fly offline. I had some interesting bouncy behaviours on FlyTampa's KSEA when taxi ewhich I did not experience with other jets, but on other airports, like FLyTampa Vienna a did not experience that. Also I miss the custom shortcut options which we have for the other jets I mentioned above. No panel state save or loading at all.
So basically it's not bad, but I still don't like the pricing policy, and this Block crap thing. If I would need to choose, I'd go for the Level-D 767 rather, even though it's looking pretty awesome which is important for me as I fly with VC and TrackIR.
I'm still testing the baby...

Hello-
I do not own any Captain Sim packages for myself. However, everybody I have talked to about it says it's not worth the money. The detail is great, but the plane is an FPS killer. I have also heard their customer support is awful, if you post with a question, they just tell you your computer is messed up.
