CS 757...how is it?

I have been thiunking of picking up the FS9 version of the CS 757. Right now it is on sale for about $13.00 for the pro pack.

Is it worth it?

Thoughts/opinions on the package?
 
Depends on what you are looking for.
Not sure what's in the 'Pro Pack' but CS have a number of additional packages that you pay for to bring it up to a comprehensive install.
All the usual CS bells and whistles, so it's not bad, I found it to be a bit of an FPS hog on my older rig.
:kilroy:
 
you can get a lot of user reviews of it from AVSIM (just search for it). I don't have this plane, but for 13$, that's pretty good. Beware that CS has a bad reputation for customer support. Make backups of your files and registeration keys. I personally haven't had a problem w/ their stuff yet *crossing fingers*

From what i've read, it's a very nice eye-candy, but apparently there are some minor system bugs? But then again, i'm not a hardcore FMC/Heavy guy....so for $13, it's worth it just for the model. I'll head over to CS now :) Thanks for the HU.

I love CS's sales. I picked up their C-130 a while back for 9$ i think...what a bargin.

Just flew Mexico City - DFW with it yesterday, and it's great to me. As others mentioned, make backups of everything.

CS seem to have done away with their "block" system, and the Pro-pack contains most of the blocks, except for the extra model packages (757-200F, 757-300).

I bought mine during one of their other sales, but $13, that's quite a deal!
 
If you're not interested in FMC and such complication, get the base pack and simply add FS9 GPS and an autopilot and away you go! Superb model and flies nicely too.

Agreed, mine showed the GPS already I think.
Biggest mistake I made was to get the "Pro Pack".
It turned a superbly modelled "get in and go" airliner into a wannabe PMDG model.
If I wanted all that stuff I'd be demanding pay from an airline.
