Thx Tom for the quick feedback. Yea, I just opened it and the engines were running but maybe I need to perform the proper procedures to have the systems up, looking correct. Did not think the CS aircraft were that involved... so this could be a good thing. :smile:Happy Holidaze,Clutch

After seeing this thread, I ended up buying the 707 last night for $12.53. A great price! Growing up, I fondly remember seeing the 707's at KBWI ("Friendship Airport" back then). The 707 was the quintessential jet airliner.Problem is, I bought the Pro Line 707 Captain. Since I usually fly the Cessna 172, my holiday will be spent trying to get the thing started and hopefully taxiing about. I am humbled by the complexity and hope my purchase won't become a cold and dark trophy collecting virtual dust! Right now, I'm staring at the Flight Engineer's upper panel looking for a main power switch.Time to hit the books. :Shocked:Happy holidays to all !

Lou explained some stuff on starting her here. http://www.captainsim.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1286115031/15 and I did here. http://www.captainsim.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1286115031/47#47Maybe it helps in conjunction with the books. C172 to B707 is quite a step, but maybe one that's worth it. :(

Thanks for the heads-up . I got my c-130 with just 1 hour left.~~ Dale ~~

I was hesitating but finally got the 767 captain.At 23:55 of course! 9.99 euro is way too tempting to forget once it gets into your mind.

Yeah just got the C130. That means I actually need to read how to use it before I go ahead pushing random buttons.Just did a quickie hehe very nice so far, now need to learn what buttons make the plane fly lol !

Thanks for the links. I'm encouraged and looking forward to taking a long continental flight, exploring all the cabin details (with the autopilot engaged).

Same here. :(

Yes, I took the plunge and don't regret it. Went with the 767-300 and I'm enjoy her...I love to fly her!

Man, I'm glad everyone got their reduced price. Me - I was charged the full price even though I purchased the aircraft during the 1-day time frame. I sent a message to Captain Sim but have had no reply. Oh well.fb

Where are you from?I mean if you are from outside Europe, are you sure you tried your purchase within the UTC time frame?

As I understand it, UTC is 6 hours ahead of my time - CST. I purchased the item at 2:45am on the 21st. Is this not in the correct window. UTC should have been 8:45am that same day. Perhaps I didn't get into the correct window.fbOooops. I just looked at the original e-mail posting. The sale was on the 22nd and I ordered my purchase on the 21st. That's what old age does to ya.fb

Don't worry, fb, it happens to the best ones! :wink:There are so many great December promos all around that I am sure you will get a lot of cool stuff for a song.

Is that like Herman Cains 999?You could not pay me to use CS products after what I went through with those goofballs!
