I received an email stating CaptaiSim had a demo of their 707 up so I immediately headed over to DL ad check it out.Then I noticed this in the decription:

Please note, the Free Demo has the following limitations:• No Extensive Systems Programming (all systems inop, engines OFF)• No Custom Lighting Control• 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 Authentic Sound Set• No Weather Radar• No Repaint Kit

So......what am I getting a Demo of....a rotating plane in my FSX Aircraft selection window? I can't fly it, I can't hear it, I can't check systems fidelity, I can't even see all of the animations. Thanks, CS! I will definately drop $70 now!!!! /Sarcasm off :(

Yes, I thought that too.I'm very curious about the product and would love to try it out, but the 'demo' is next to useless.Don't know why they bothered.Ian

Very slowly, over some years, i've become a bit of a fan of CS aircraft, especially after some steep customer service improvements.However, I too feel this is a bit pathetic.I think this demo is a 'back to school' for CSIt's certainly put me off buying it for now, though as per usual, I'm probably shooting myself in the foot.

First a price cut and now this? Well it's still way too expensive IMO. Another price cut and I'm there.

No extensive systems programming? No authentic sound set? No flight model? Well, in that case it's actually pretty close to the full product. [Just joking here... kind of]

ok guys here is the cs 707 demo :D just look :http://www.aviation-links.co.uk/CS707BMAL.jpg

At least they give you something. Everyone else that I know of you just have to rely on word of mouth and maybe some Youtube videos to decide if it's worth your money or not.

Yes, I agree. I appreciate the fact that they offered this. It cleared up a couple points I was wondering about (for example, whether FS9 repaints were compatible). So I will be buying it.John

CS's 707 is the nicest long-haul aircraft I've purchased for years.If you like old birds, this one is perfect.The FDX is ultra realistic, I truely recommand this airplane even if I agree, the demo doesn't give it justice.

Oh !"£$%%^!!!!If anyone other than you had said that David, I just might have been able to ignore it.now I'll have to have a closer look :(

Totally agreed. Somethig is always better then nothing. CS is probably the only FS company that gives any demos.

Flight1 offers a 30 days refund which is really great.

Yes, the Flight1 system is just unbeatable. In all my years of flight simming, I think i've possibly used the refund service twice.On each occasion it was just as stated 'on the tin'... No quibbles. It's what keeps me going back there. That, and being able to redownload lost orders and info (though SimMarket is now very good with that also).
