April 1, 201016 yr Well I bit the bullet and rode the gravy train next stop Level D. I owned 767 PIC and just did not want to do that anymore until Captain Sim rode into town on a shiny metallic and quite overloaded horse called the 767-300. Comparison you ask? Unique and quite the same. Honestly. I learned the 767 all over again on Captain Sim 767, stepped into Level D, and within moments I was on my way from Atlanta to LA. Now mind you I did not CTRL-E and go. I conducted my preflight, pre-start, post-start, takeoff, and after-takeoff. So nice to have the F/O handle the flaps and gear while I concentrate on sipping coffee and activating the autopilot LNAV/VNAV (no VNAV till TOC? What did I miss?). As I write this I am cruising to LA connected to VATSIM DAL438.With a minor loss of fuel dump and radio on OH, what I see in Level D is what I get Captain Sim. The Captain sim 767 VC is impressive, animation and appearance over functional utility is the way I see the difference there. Yeah I like chatting with ground, requesting external power, getting a push, having a F/O and do not miss (almost) the candy canes and wrappings. Unless I missed something, I have to admit Captain Sim is thorough with 5 independent volumes representing the flight manual. I don't disparage Level D but what thy procide as download manual is nice but the aircraft performance data is missing.All in all I still enjoy both products and would like to know what you guys think. Also, please tell me why no VNAV with a fully programmed CDU.
