[Guest gooper]

HI all, I just purchased th captain sim c-130 gunship version but when i select the aircraft in Fs2004 only the default 737 cockpit shows up?? do I need to purchase the full version which is 19.99 euros to get the 2-d and 3-d cockpit...the website sure makes it seem like both cockpits are included?? anyone else have the same problem??

I guess the good news is that the full FS9 package is not as expensive as it used to be, and is a pretty good deal for what you get.I can't wait to see how they're going to market the B-52 (which will be released before the final 757 block I'm sure). Anyone else think they'll try to lure some unsuspecting customers with the model (which looks great of course), promising that the rest of the plane is right around the corner? :-lol.

Captain Sim's website is indeed somewhat misleading, and is hardly 'clear' about what you do, and do not get with its C-130 expansion packs. They have covered themselves, in so much as on the AC-130 page it states that WITHOUT the base package, 'some aspects are unavailable'.It then states that for further information you should download the free manual, and provides a link. In this small PDF download, the following text appears... - Sound - Alias to default Beech King sound- Panel - Alias to default B747 panel- No textures in VC- No gauges in VCA rather tiresome process simply to confirm what your actually getting. But as Steve has mentioned, at least the base package is reasonably cheap now, and I myself would add that its the only Captain Sim product I would recommend, and is certainly the only one I still have installed.Regards,Al.
