• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

New free Demo to consider

Too many bugs in the full version to even bother with the demo. I got it during their sale, and it's great, when it works like it should, which for me, isn't very often. The fmc will calculate a descent for me and when I hit execute, it just reverts all the Alts back to my cruise. Trying to manually edit the legs doesn't work either, the fmc never makes a t/d point and vnav won't recognize lower alts in legs.
 
I rarely bother with demos. Too often it's severely limited in what it'll do. it just clutters up the sim and the system.

Besides the 767 isn't my cup 'o tea anyway.

The 757 demo had no systems and you couldn't turn the aircraft. Pretty much useless. Here's what the 767 demo doesn't do:

No Extensive Systems Programming (ADI, HSI, EICAS displays inop)
• No Flight Management System, CDU inop
• Hundreds of Custom Animations inop
• No Flight Model (flight controls locked in the Demo)
• No Custom system sounds and crew voice messages
• No Exclusive visual Effects
• No Wing Flex
• No Wing Flaps Vortices
• Animation Control Panel inop
• No Authentic Sound Set (alias to default 737 sounds in the Demo)
• No Weather Radar
• No Aeronautical Data and Terminal Procedures
• No Repaint Kit


Stuff like the sounds and wing flex and weather radar I can live without in a demo but no flight controls and no instruments? What's the point?

Just Flight and Abacus sometime have 30 day demos which always you to evaluate the flight dynamics and FPS performance on your system.

But you may check how the 767 looks, see the details etc. Guess it is better than nothing.
