I second that - is the FMS upgrade (Block F) included in the current FSX Boeing 757-200 Base Pack?

Yes. The 757-200 FMS upgrade specifically states it is for the Block B only, which is there old 757. The base pack has all features, the expansions just add the 300 and the 200F models if you want them.

When you think about it, a sale like this once or twice a year, is really a no brainer for the seller! On a normal day on a product well past the initial release rush, a developer may sell 25-50 copies a day if they are lucky, a sale like this, brings in at least hundreds of new sales, many of which otherwise would not have purchased from them and many that tend to buy multiple products at this price, as demonstrated in this thread, which could make sales into the thousands.. Since these are not physical products, and the development costs have long since be spent, add to that the purchasing system already exists, and is automated, there is absolutely no overhead, except maybe for extra bandwidth, to sell at these prices. It's all pure profit. CS has been running these sales for a few years now, I don't think they would still be doing it, if they weren't making money. For example if CS sold 1000 models today,which is possible, they would bring in $15000 just today. While at the regular price say at $50 with 50 units sold would only bring in $2500. I wonder why other developers can't figure this out, and have sales like this themselves.

Thanks

Yes and I could quite well be wrong, but I wouldn't buy at the full price having been spoiled by PMDG, Level D and Digital Aviation before they mislaid the VC for their Fokker 70/100. But then - what will the new PMDG 737NX sell at?So it is genuinely extra income, from me anyway, not just a reduced price I'd have bought anyway.

I agree and with all the negative things you hear about their products, for 9.99 euro it makes it a lot easier to step in and buy one to try. Without these sales I probably would never bought any of their products based on all the things I have read. Fortunatley though, I have been pretty satisfied with the products I have bought from them and will probably buy more from them when some other a/c come out like the FSX version of the F-104.

Most 727 aficionados will know that there is a rather obvious error on that quadrant, namely the flap detent markers, which include '20 degrees', and you of course won't find that on a real 727.
Alan, tought exactly the same as you did until I saw this. Here is the pic of real world 727 cockpit:727o.jpgSo not a bug here.

Which variant of 727 is that though?As far as I know, it would have to be a 200ADV to have that option, and a special option customer request at that, which is not featured in the CS 727 set on the 727 Captain DVD.Al

Well I went for the 727 100/200/F and the 767.I already own the LDS 767 but fancied a newer model :( . As others have said, for 9.99 euros, can't go wrong.Total

That site is very confusing with all the pro line/ base products and never ending links. I clicked to buy the "Pro Line" 767 for FSX and it says I'm buying the base pack.VERY confusing system there..... :(

You need to buy the "base pack" for 9.99. Then if you want to the other models you pay 9.99 for each one that you want.The only package that comes complete with every model or variation is the C-130 Full Pack.
