Captain Sim - sale

[forgeknight]

I have been eyeballing that C-130 for quite sometime. I think I will treat myself to an early Christmas.

 

[Bjoern]

Would get the 727, but the reported frame rate hit puts me off.

The FPS hit is about equal to that of the LDS 767. It isn't as bad as either the PMDG 747 or the CS 757. I find it to be quite useable and enjoyable.

 

[tigisfat]

So the 767 has dismal FPS?

 

[fsafranek]

I thought GMT and UTC were one and the same... no?

Yep. UTC is just more modern.
:ernae:

 

[jimjones]

So, that means we can begin 12/10/09, tonight, at 7PM EST, Yes?

Not at all, greately improved after the last SP.
All we need to do is make purchase. Even if CS have server overload we have a chance to download products next day. So where is my CC?

Would be interested in the 767 tanker and E-767, but I'd also have no use for the 767-200 which I'd have to buy, so I may have to give it a miss, even at reduced price. Shame there's no pro pack like the C-130!

Gents,

Perhaps, you'll missed this page ...

http://www.captainsim.com/products/product_lines.html

But the "PRO Pack" is basically The BASE Pack + ALL the Expansion Packs and, if made in one purchase, it is quite nice. So, as an example, I'll be getting the entire CS 767 set which is the PRO Series (or a kind of "Pro Pack") and at $10.00 per item, its far less than the BASE Pack would be without the sales event. That's worth staying-up-for in my book.

Hope this clears up all the confusion and Merry Christmas!

 

[Quixoticish]

Whereabouts is the Pro pack for the 767 on their site?

All I can find to actually purchase are the individual packs below:

Don't think a propack is available for the 767.

"Currently All-in-One Pack is available for C-130 only."

Yep

 

[d0mokun]

The C-130X is. But there is a C-130 for FS9 too.

Edit- Curses.

 

[limjack]

:salute: standing by with credit card at the ready....14 min.

 

[spotlope]

Looks like they opened the store a couple of minutes early. The 727 is now parked on my hard drive! Bwaaaahhhaaaaahhaaaaaa.....

Sorry. Got carried away.

UPDATE: Wow, this 727 is flipping' gorgeous! True to Captain Sim's usual rep, the VC is a work of art. I've only taxied it, but so far the frame rates are very good, too - certainly on par with most of my other complex addons, and definitely flyable.

 

[ryanbatc]

yeah I thought for $14.71 I would want it but I now realize I wouldn't fly it anyway. Heavy metal is just not my thing. Unless it is very well done. (And I'm waiting for the LevelD 757)

 

[expat]

Downloading the 727 now. Went in at two minutes after midnight and no delays at all.
