March 2, 201115 yr Thanks, but I've been on here for quite some years now (not really a high roller poster though), but I did a Facebook connect a few days ago and for some reason I lost my account/made a new one in the process. I liked Facebook connect better before people went all 'privacy' on them and they made you HAVE to link it to an existing account/make a new one. The whole idea of Facebook connect went out the door right there.Same happened here after I could not log in to my account under my username BAFW435, I then did the same as you via Facebook and now have a duplicate account but I can now access my BAW435 account. Wonder if is related to AVSIM upgrading the site in the coming days. \Robert Hamlich/
March 3, 201115 yr I have had the level D for quite a few years.As to support from Daryl I can only say my experience has been superb. This is a fabulous aircraft to fly. While it is a little "older" in graphics don't let this deter your decision on whether to purchase......The experience of flying a 767 with level D is as good as it gets. Davehere here. LevelD is an awesome product and the support is excellent - Daryl (or someone else) has always been quick to respond to queries, etc similar to PMDG. J Thomas YBBN
March 3, 201115 yr This is the PMDG forum, but this last comment deserves a response (hope you don't mind, Tabs) ..."several serious bugs and development has been abandoned"False.Really? I don't want to start an argument, but I feel that if someone makes a post asking for advice, they deserve to know.FMC resetting and engine start issues with Acceleration installed-serious bugCost Index entry occasionally leads to aircraft flipping over-serious bugCertain failures have no effect-minor bugAnd a few othersRepeated statements that it is a completed product-development has been abandonedNo recent updates despite reported bugs except for a visual winglets update-development has been abandoned.Despite all that, I still recommend your 767, it's good aspects vastly outweigh it's negative ones
March 3, 201115 yr - hey Darryl. Let me personally thank you for the many many hours of enjoyment of your fine product sir. Hats off.And to anyone else who may not own LDS 767- it is truely one of the finest pieces of software available to FS. Peter Osborn
March 3, 201115 yr Hi,The VC, graphically, may not be as good looking as recent VCs, but the systems are at least as good as PMDG, if not better (the 767 failure model is very good whereas I find the PMDG 744 failure module to seem to want to throw failures at you in in quick succession up to the limit set, though PMDG have re-written theirs for the 737NGX).I highly recommend it.Another excellent add-on (the best for FS IMHO) is the LSH MD-82. It even includes the kitchen sink.Best regards,Robin.I totally agree with this post, especially the part about the Leonardo MD-82. Such a great plane.
March 3, 201115 yr Commercial Member Sorry, Tabs... no point in even trying.BTW, when's the NGX release date? LOL The SUPPORT FORUM for Level-D Simulations products: http://www.leveldsim.com/forums

March 3, 201115 yr Sorry, Tabs... no point in even trying.BTW, when's the NGX release date? LOLHa! Nice try there Daryl! BTW how'd you fare in the wind storm today? I was doing some work for the Canucks today at Rogers arena and the power was flickering a few times. My house in PoCo is missing a couple of small end tables from the patio :( Love the LDS 763 BTW :( "To most the sky is the limit but to me it's home" Rick Harms (CYVR) i7 [email protected] (for now) asus p6t v2, 6gb ocz 1600 CL7 ram.

Those "major" bugs are very annoying Still recommend it but with caution.
March 3, 201115 yr Hmmm...to buy a Level-D 767 or not to buy? That is the question...OK, first, let's talk about 767s. PMDG doesn't make one (can't speak for the future tho). So we are down to the Level-D 767 and the Captain Sim 767 at the top end of the spectrum (I own both, so I only speak from my personal experience and as such, this is my personal opinion). Oh, and for clarification purposes, we are talking about FSX..not FS9.In this case, this is no contest. Level-D for the 767-300. If you want realism, the Level-D has what you need and more. If you are looking for a 757, on the other hand, Captain Sim has the best on the market. As for a Level-D 757? I'm not holding my breath.Now, to those of you who have commented on Level-D vs. PMDG...folks, give me a break. You are comparing an apple to an orange.There is no question, none, zero, nada...that each PMDG aircraft that has been produced has been better that each of its previous aircraft, and they were great to start. PMDG has set the bar much higher with the 737NGX and yes, while I am an obsessive, compulsive simmer like the rest of the bunch on this forum, I don't think it's fair to compare the 737NGX to the Level-D 767. They are two completely DIFFERENT airplanes to begin with. The Level-D bird has been around for a long time (think FS2002) and set the bar very high for quality and yes, PMDG has met and so far exceeded every expectation that we have had for quality of the product. Considering what else is on the market, there is no 767 product that compares with the Level-D, period, full stop.So, at the end of the day, what should one purchase?Hmmm, let's see:1. 767-Level-D.2. PMDG - everything they have made.This presumes, of course, you are looking for realism. I certainly do.Any questions??? (lol)Dave LambProud Owner: Level-D 767PMDG: 747-400X/747-8/MD-11/JS41 and soon...737NGX.
March 3, 201115 yr Buy it. bottom line. without a doubt. most stable aircraft i have and mixed with fs2crew, done. They do still support it quite well, and just this past year released a update and additional feature for it.MatthewH.
March 3, 201115 yr Commercial Member @Daryl,It cannot be underestimated the importance of the last 4 pages, to your development teams talent [and ego :D :D ]This is not a leveld forum but on the whole 95% of what has been said here is very very positive, especcially after the software is rooted in programing 8 years ago..I think this is very important and I imagine you take great pride in seeing it[p.s i would really love to see a remodel of the 767, even above the anticipated 757]All the best Alex Ridge Join Fswakevortex here!
