Screwed up one time too many.

They cannot go on like this and expect to stay in the game.

 

I will intentionally publicize all negative characteristics so that future customers are exposed to some truth.

 

That's silly. Because you're going to try to black-ball them is not going to change my opinion, nor thousands of others who enjoy the 777, 727, 727, 737.

I own everything that PMDG has made. I enjoy they're products, especially the NGX, yet still enjoy flying Captain Sim's products.

I own most everything that A2A has made. I enjoy they're products, especially the Boeing 377 with Accu-Sim, yet still enjoy flying Captain Sim's products.

If I enjoy Captain Sim's products, I'm sure thousands of others do too. So where do you validate that, because you can't get them right on your computer, that they should not be in business? That's silly!

I only said that because you were such a strong defender for them in previous CS threads. If even you turned against them, well they must have really screwed up.

 

Yeah well, while i *really* enjoy some of their products, this 777 isn't up to their previous releases, complete or not. It's complete rubbish.

Like you I am disappointed with all not working features and bugs.

 

However, when using the VNAV workaround I can fly it from take off till touchdown and I really enjoy it.

The graphics quality is superb.

For me using one wide vc view spread over 3 monitors I need sharp textures and they have it.

 

The sound is from TSS and is incredible over my 7.1 sound system.

 

With the 757 I never had the rock and roll issue.

The 767 flies perfectly on my system.

 

It took PMDG 5 patches over 6 months to get the NGX to the level where it is now.

I am sure that the CS 777 will fly very well after 5 patches...

 

Like I said : I am dissappointed , but boy how I love to fly this bird ....LOL

 

And the PMDG 777 I probably will buy too...

Wait till it's on sale for 9 Euros - you'll be happy you didn't pay €60. I don't know how they even justify that price.. It's MORE than the NGX!

 

They're hopeful aren't they..

 

I have never purchased a Captain Sim product at full price and I never will. I have a lot of their products which I enjoy but in terms of comparing to PMDG they are not even in the same league. I agree with a lot of the sentiments of the posters here, some of their products like the 757 never worked properly for me.

Sounds like you have a hard time accepting other peoples' opinions.

 

You like the 777, we get that. But where do you come off telling people their opinion on the product they own is basically wrong?

A bit arrogant.

Well, you don't like Captain Sim. We get that too.

Giving an critical opinion of a product is one thing, trying to black-ball a developer, with intentions of taking that developer away from those who do enjoy their products is something completely different.

Calling those who enjoy their products "Arrogant" is also very bias.

Putting words in people's mouths.

I haven't given any reviews on the 777 in this thread.

The other poster said he wanted to point out the negative parts of the product.

Only you used the word "black ball."

 

And further, I said its arrogant to call someone's opinion on a product "silly" just because you think the company and the product is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Never said anything about your enjoyment of the product.

 

Please stop fabricating bogus points to fuel your biased argument.

AJ Pongress, I'm not trying to be a jerk, but you would do well to read the entire thread. The poster IFRClearance responded earlier to a well written post with arguments by FSXMan with just the word "No", dismissing his entire opinion. Don't be suprised that IFRClearance's his/her own opinion is then not highly regarded either. IFRClearance seems to be on a crusade, which could be considered noble if it were not just aimed against one company. Now it just seems like he has a grudge against CS.

I read the whole thread. Others have opinions against the product too.

Fsxman included me in that, specifically saying "you" when I've given no such opinion.

 

I just don't like it when people blow up false points in their argument just to be credible, or state things that were never said or even referenced.

 

Anyway, I'm done here. Every captain sim thread turns into these debates.

Jeez, learn to accept that people have different opinions.

I've already accepted that.

Me replying with 'No' suggests that I disagree. Disagreeing with an opinion is completely acceptable is it not?

I save time of writing up a whole paragraph disagreeing with a previous statement, and simply Type No. It's quite familiar in forum jargon, I'm not being rude or trying to dismiss the user's opinion, simply disagreeing. I am sorry if it seems that way.

IFRClearance seems to be on a crusade, which could be considered noble if it were not just aimed against one company. Now it just seems like he has a grudge against CS.

I'm laughing now, because of our mentality around here, thinking that if a user has a negative remark about a company, he/she grudges that company. I do not usually have issues with developers, they are all doing wonderful work. However anyone around here would quickly admit that CS is just a special Company, furthermore, the majority of us would conclude that this company is special in a negative remark.

I do not know what I have done to seem to have a grudge on CS, I am simply providing criticism, and if a developer deserves negative reviews, then they should by means receive them. This is part of opinion formation, which is totally fair.

which could be considered noble if it were not just aimed against one company.

I'm not sure what do you want me to do? If only one company deserves it, then by all means they shall receive it, I will not degrade any company if they are trying their best, and I will not praise any company that does not deserve praise. That is essentially lying to myself, and lying to you in return. Honesty will make or break the most experienced reviewers.

 

I also want to say that, CS has my respect, I can only dream of doing what they do. I just wish that somethings would be better.

 

Now I may ramble on here...

Things are becoming repetitive now, but I just want to end with this.

To the OP; I bought the CS 777, I have seldom used it, for anything. (Actually I'd quickly struggle my NG over the Atlantic before giving thought of using their 777.)

Lack of patience, and false advertising pushed me to buy a non functional T7, it's my fault, I fell captive to Marketing. I spent money on something I seldom use, and that's definitely a waste, I do not want you to waste your money either. Especially in these harsh economic times. I'd rather have the money spent, saved on my bank account than a spot in my hangar filled with this 777.

At the end of the day, it is up to you, whatever you choose to do, is all up to you. Wishing you the best with your choice!

Regards,

:Shame On You:

I flew last night from KATL to KJFK and didn't have too much problem. Yeah it shot like a rocket on take-off but that could be that it was very lightly loaded. (75000 lbs. of fuel)Had a couple of minor issues. I can't direct load FSX Flight plans and have to manually enter it though that is not a show stopper. Also, when I performed position init, it would not let me put the proper coordinates into the CDU (Kept reading N000 etc.). Cruise was fine even with AS2012 and Radar Contact running in the background. No problems there. Some of the MCP dials "ran away" but that is typical of CS aircraft (I have the same issues in the 75/76). I did notice that VNAV at cruise was a little wonky speed wise (Speed was set in the CDU but the aircraft did not hold it (but no problem to hold MCP speed when I switched to that mode). Tested all the lights, radios, etc--no problems there, everything seemed to work. Approach was fine--I took vectors so there was no VNAV issues going down. Full autoland at RW4L at JFK--was a little right of centerline (seemed to lose lateral precision just before over the fence) but not drastically. Braking was good and taxiing was fine (it is after all, a big airplane).

 

All in all--not bad--couple of minor issues--I have a smoking machine so FPS were good all the way (20-30FPS) so ymmv. I could see them fixing it and I will continue to play with it. Much better than when they first released the 757. Eye candy was excellent, flight deck was very nice. External Model was very good. In the past I flew the Aerosoft (average) the Wilco (ugh) and the Freeware one (good but no systems) so right now I think this is the best one out there (right now). I will fly it until the PMDG comes out becuase if it is half as good as the NGX (which I think is the best alltime addon airliner aircraft for FlightSim) or the LevelD 767 (which is the number 2) it will be outstanding.

 

Is it worth the $ (or Euros) -- that is subjective. Me, I fly the Delta 7/8 777-200LR every 3-5 months. I love the T7 so I buy eveyone that comes out. I need my 777 fix before the PMDG comes out--This one works fine enough for me for now. Not worthy of bashing in my opinion but ti does have a couple if issues (albeit minor).

Thank you for you educated feedback- it's very helpful !!!

My apologies to Aerosoft--the 777 I have is from Aerosim not Aerosoft -- wanted to clear that up before it became an issue.
