I don't have FSX installed and don't want to fiddle the installation. Are you telling me the JF installer will let me choose a directory?

Colin.

Hi Colin,

On the screen where the installer probably tells you that it can't find FSX, there is a Browse button. If you use that and point the installer to the P3DV2 folder then you should be able to install into there.
* One extra step is that you will need to create an FSX.exe file in the root of P3Dv2 in order for the installer to let you. Just make a text file in there and change the name and extension.
Hope it helps.

DISCOUNT PRICE !

Can someone help me out here?

I purchased the "exterior model" for 9.99 Euros last month( Dec. 16th.) during the sale event, BTW it was 9.99 Euros before that...

I go to store and click on 10.00 Euros discount button, now I get it for 29.99 Euros instead of 39.99 Euros where you can get the "whole aircraft"

I'm logged onto my "account" at the store and have placed it in my "basket" then I go through all of the steps until I get to the last page where I have to submit the final C.C. payment, and that is where I stop.

I even had the "Boss Lady" come and watch me do the steps.....

Let's see now: I have paid 9.99 Euros + 29.99 Euros (would have paid ) = 39.98 Euros, where is the discount?


I'm getting older and I'm 4-eyed, maybe I'm not seeing it.

I'm asking... is this the right math calculations or do I need to take my shoes off and count my little toes too, or did I just make a fool of myself.

Your discount is 39.99€ -39.98€=00.01€ (one cent!!!)
Yeah is the biggest discount that you will see in your entire life!

Use of the word discount is misleading. You are just purchasing the remaining balance due for the full model at the full price. It's the new math!

Some of pictures in Hi-Res (maybe more expensive than JF but looks realy amazing). FPS are good (on my machine stable 30 with lock of 30 on external limiter from VC):

You know I feel a little sorry for Yoyo and Captain sim. Yoyo announces a new model by CS and it turns into a JF thread. I can understand people wanting to make their feelings known but this thread has been hijacked.

I perhaps take a good bit of the blame for that but I don't think any of us had the intention of hijacking or berating the CS version. We have concluded both the JF and CS versions are great looking and have their tradeoffs which we can gather for purchasing considerations but gladly I see no one really bashing either of them.


In this one case, I am glad to see that the JF version is actually being recognized for it's excellent quality and value and not the subject of ridicule. I would encourage Martyn to begin a separate thread about the upgrade discussions of the JF version.

Apologies for my part in the hijack. There is an interesting (and mostly positive) 5-page thread on the new CS L1011 over at avsim:

I was just wondering if the CaptainSim version has a better cockpit functionality than the JustFlight one. I am not looking for PMDG NGX level, but the primary buttons should at least be working, and not just dummies. I fired up the JustFlight one yesterday and besides the fact that a lot of buttons on the overhead panel are not working (No Smoking, Seat Belt, Nose wheel light), and the 2D panels are overlapping each other.

Sorry, not looking for answers on issues related to the JustFlight version. I just want to know if the CaptainSim version has more functionality.

I've been trying to get the atc window to work . Don't here the radio. Works with the rest of my planes. Help!

I do not have this model but my most recent CS model was the 737-200. From what it seems, your avionics are not getting power which could mean the master avionics switch is off or the A/C bus on the Flight Engineers panel may not be engaged. On the JF version, I unknowingly caused my radios to go offline because I accidentally tripped the A/C power offline. Go through your panel manuals and see if their is a flow list regarding the power systems. You'll probably find the issue fairly quickly.

 

[Martyn]

I would encourage Martyn to begin a separate thread about the upgrade discussions of the JF version.

We currently have nothing else to add regarding this potential project. My one line response to someone else's mention of our product is all the info that I currently have. The other postings by myself and Rich were in response to various other questions that were asked. No 'hijacking' intended...

As always, I will of course start a new thread if I have anything substantial to add/announce.

 

[vonstroheim]

Well, it's interesting to compare CS and JF Tristar versions. I have both, but currently have only CS exterior, merged with JF cockpit. FPS and looks are excellent in the JF cockpit, soundset is great too. CS exterior is fabulous. I might keep it that way. But I'm interested in reading pros and cons of each version... Not sure yet if I'll buy CS complete base pack... even if I'm a big CS addict...

JustFlight Tristar virtual cockpit (JF has a working free demo)

Just clicking the ATC window doesn't work here anymore. You have to actually dial the frequency into your comm radios first. Then the ATC window will become active again.

Personally my jaw is on the floor ( happens almost all the time lately, i think i'd better leave it there.. ) with this beautiful ancient beast.

cheers,

VC of CS model:

 

[thunder100]

I have the JF and the CS exterior model.

Looking to the Pictures I think the VC is a bit better on the CS.

But the JF Comes with 2 D Panel as well and I can use the gauges to upgrade a lot of older planes VC's (and 2D) I still fly in FSX to (much) better gauges(including the band ones)

So I stay with CS exterior and use the JF interior in it.Works fine

my 2 Cents

Interesting idea , but Im impressed of VC and external model of this CS TriStar. Cant do now cold and dark - manual (in 3 parts) has near 250 pages.
A lot of reading before me : )!
