Captain Sim sale everything $9.99 24 hrs only

It IS available Mal.. just had a look. 707 Captain.. which generally means you have a base model and have to buy the variations. Had the Legendary 707 (FS9 version) which was a lovely model but very heavy on system resources. Better when I oiked the VC out. Custom code for the AP meant it couldn't fly an FS generated flightplan using all three AP channels which was the main reason I ended up not flying it much.

I got it to fly an AP/GPS route in FSX with no problems with a few simple obvious mods. The 707 and 727 are in a class of their own + highly recommended.

I never went for the FSX version. There was much boo-hoo'ing on the CS forums at the time resulting in the usual 'dismissals'. CS were willing to support the CIVA INS but nothing else. A lovely model for sure.

Re the sale.. when I looked yesterday, a lot was already showing money off but yes.. the $9.99 sale is from tomorrow.

Sale is on NOW!:encouragement: NC

Update: From the looks of it, their server is being hit hard. It is taking me a long time to download just 92mb.
 
C-130 Multi-Player

Always had problems with the C-130 not playing well with other C-130's in multi-player. Does anyone else have this problem and have they fixed it?

Looking at either the 727 or 1011, anyone have a opinion on which is better?

I have both theyre both different aircraft i havent flown them in a while as i havent ported them into p3d

I liked the 1011 but dont like the fmc and but it has fat bird feeling which complements it well

The 727 is also a nice aircraft

Dont know, its hard to say which is better as they both have their credits and have been around long enough to iron out the bugs
 
Can you elaborate on the "mods", please?

Don't have it installed at the moment. I think it was merely adding a pop up GPS and "backup" AP - probably an older FS9 737-400 model. I might have added a NAV/GPS switch somewhere. I think it is just a case of fiddling with the default AP Nav/GPS setting until it started to follow the basic FSX flightplan entered into the GPS. Similar machinations required to get the 727 to do the same. I usually abandon aircraft that won't follow a GPS plan, but fly these two CS birds often.

Thanks Jeansy, much appreciated

Think it might be the 727 but the 777 is also looking nice LOL spoilt for choices, might get them both but want to pick up a good heli now that I am back interested in FSX again.
 
I got the 757-200 and the C-130X this morning. I already had the Just Flight's C-130 on disk, but now I have a software backup with the A model that I was looking for.

I tried to start the 757 from cold, but I have a "fuel config" light on and I suspect it is preventing me from starting. I downloaded a manual and a video on how to start the 757, still, no start. The only difference is that light and I can't find information on how to fix it.

For trouble shooting, I have the default FSX flight on opening FSX (no saved flight), I loaded pax and cargo with ACE, I don't see where I can load fuel though. When the 757 is loaded, I turn off fuel control levers and switch off the battery. Then I start with the process of starting up.

The "fuel config" light is illuminated right from the start, when I loaded the 757.

Any help/advice will be appreciated.

Try starting with a default flight and/or a default model.. don't go straight to the CS757
