I am interested in buying the FSX version of the Cpt Sim 757 - however I haven't been able to find out

(no reponse as yet to a support email I sent them)

whether the model has an active FMS or do I need to wait for the extra layer to be completed and made available for purchase.

If there is not yet a functioning FMC how is LNAV managed - through the default GPS or something similar?

Thanks for that.  Yes I know how LNAV is engaged, but without a functioning FMC I couldn't work out how a flightplan could be inputted, hence my reference to maybe them using the default GPS as a temporary substitute.

I'll see if they answer and explain it to me.  I just thought that there may be a SimV member who has this version.

Thanks for the warning on framerates.  I guess it comes down to, compared to what.  The Level D 767 can bring the system to its knees, is the CS757 better or worse?

I have a fairly old computer, its cetainly not up to the standards of some on here. Yet the Level D for me runs as smooth as anything, even in VC over 9dragons Kai Tak its still smooth. Bit of a hit but its hardly noticeable. The PMDG 747 i find takes a bit of a knock on my system, but its flyable from the VC. And seriously good in the 2d, which i tend to use mainly in the 747 for flight planning and so on.

Dunno about the CS 757 - ive always heard its a frame rate killer - but then i heard the same about the other two and they are fine. I guess it depends on what your running and how your running it.

They haven't optimised it for FSX. It's a ported FS9 model, and as such, the frame rates are terrible. If it was a proper FSX model, it'd run as well as, if not better than the FS9 version does in FS9.
