... for 9,99 each and any. Captain Sim is having this crazy sale from 15:00 01JUL2010 to 14:59 02JUL2010(UTC) - love these sales! Just need to find something from CS I do not own LOL
 
For those who didn't get it last time, this is a good opportunity to get the C-130 Hercules. You want the Pro Pack, because it's the same price as the base pack, AND includes both of the extras.
 
Id like to get the BUFF and have her sit until the cockpit is done. I will have to think about this.
 
I was thinking about getting the 727; downloaded the demo to get an impression, most importantly about the expected performance impact; opened the model in ModelConverterX; checked the model properties; seen over 1000 draw calls for the interior model (10 times more than a default model); got a minor heart attack; postponed purchase to "never".
 
I got the C130 last time but I hardly ever fly it... too many glaring fde and sound issues...

I don't think I'll buy anything this time around. Maybe once their B52 gets a proper VC I will though

Could you tell, how high the multipliers are with other addon aircraft?

Do you think it could be our dratted Creative X-Fi sound cards? More helpfully: I renamed my sound folder to original.sound and copied over the sound folder from this:

FSX Lockheed Martin C-130J-30. The C-130J is the newest version of the Hercules and the only model still in production. Externally similar to the classic Hercules in general appearance, the J model is a very different aircraft. These differences include new Rolls-Royce AE 2100 D3 turboprops with Dowty R391 composite scimitar propellers, digital avionics (including Head-Up Displays (HUDs) for each pilot) and reduced crew requirements, two pilots, one load master, and one crew chief. The C-130J flies faster, higher and further than all previous C-130 models. Full package for FSX/SP2 (DX9 graphics), custom 2D and VC panels with HUD and Garmin avionics. Custom sound, fully animated parts, realistic flight model. Four liveries included - USAF, USCG, RAF and U.S. Marines Blue Angels support aircraft. By Jean-Pierre Brisard and Bob May - Premier Aircraft Design.[/SIZE]

I was thinking about the B-52 too but it let me down with no sound set, panel, or vc.

I haven't done this myself, and the discount doesn't help BUT if you're minded to get this, you can alias another plane's VC -- search this forum for instructions -- and use these freeware sounds:

What is the 727 like in FSX ? More specifically, frame rates ?

Might get it.

It's actually not bad on the frames. I have an old dual core e6600 processor and nVidia 7900GS card and the CS 727 poses no problems. The VC takes a bit longer to load sometimes but not that slow.

As payware, I only have Wilco's E-Jets which are good modelwise (~130 draw calls), but whose gauges eat away a few FPS.

For freeware, Piglet's stuff is anywhere from 60 to 100 draw calls.
 
Is there a pack with the 757 that includes the 200, 300 and freighter (much like the C-130 one)? Can't see one anywhere, but wouldn't want to get a single pack without knowing for sure!
 
Ive been wanting to get the C-130, i guess ill buy it. I was going to buy the 727 till i realized there was no all-in-one pack. Looks like ill save up for that one later.

I love their 727 but am very disappointed with the C-130

Ted, what is it that disappoints you about the C130? I am curious because I am just the opposite, I love the Cptn Sim C130, and don't care for the 727. I am biased towards the 130 in real life it is one of my two fav aircraft (along side the DC3) and I have never been a fan of Tubes anyway. I do like the Cptn Sim Models I have tried, - I don't own the 727 I have tried it on a friends system, so my experience with it is limited.
