I'm getting CS-777 and FlyTampa-Dubai

[Johnny767 40]

The Boeing 777-300 is one of my favorite a/c. I love the way it looks and flies- powerful! And, I also have an admiration for Dubai- for it's beauty! So, I am thinking of getting these 2 products today.

 

Question: I understand CS-777 may not be the best a/c we've seen, but since I would like to fly this a/c I am thinking of getting it. (Don't know when PMDG will release theirs). So, for those of you who love the 777, could you tell us what's wrong with CS-777? (Or what's important, that does not work?)

 

Thanks,

[Dougal 165]

I found the CS777 is so, so, SO frustrating. Auto throttle ALWAYS just blasted waaaaay through anything set.

 

LNAV would SOMETIMES work.

 

VNAV would NEVER work.

 

These are just my experiences with it. I understand that a few didn't have the same issues.

bought cs-777-200 and 300 for around 80 Euros 2 weeks ago.

 

No landing gear, and no systems working, basically cant use it.

 

I would not advice it unless you can demo it first, else the least of your issues will be waste of money, but waste of time.

 

CS display the reputation of a company that will not give a dan about customers till they have no more customers.

 

Cs-777 is Definatly not a buy, unless you can demo for free

Just google "CS-777 landing gear" before you buy into a frustration

VNAV.

 

Have to settle for FLCH for now until they get it sorted. As for the landing gear issues, only a few people have had problems. Personally, I haven't had this problem since the EARLY version(s) of the CS 777.

80 Euro?!

 

For this garbage? OMG!

 

Heard it isn't very good...So glad I stuck to my instincts!

VNAV will soon be fixed in an update, but:

 

Systems/displays/FMC are not yet completed.

 

CS might turn away from finishing the product.

 

This product will never live up to the 60 Euro-standards.

 

There's an interesting thread here on avsim.com over in the FSX/General forum.

my thoughts offered

 

I have CS777 and overall great a few minor software fixes required. I like PMDG as well as a beautiful product. I like iFLY again different aspects

 

FlyTampa is the best period.

 

I will probably buy the PMDG 777 when it arrives but I think it could be another year.

 

so enjoy the CS777

 

I do like CS767 and the CS757

 

I even have LevelD767

 

it is sort of an evolution !

Here we go again with the CS-777.

 

I take off manually and when the flaps are raised I re-enter the cruise altitude in the CDU.

Now I can climb, cruise and descent with VNAV.

 

The Localizer and ILS are being captured perfectly and I land spot on.

 

I also have done many flights with the CS 757 and 767 and never had issues like some describe.

 

Since 2,5 years I have the same installation of Windows and FSX.

My system is stable like a rock.

 

Especially CS needs a stable system.

[Boeing or not going 578]

With CS products, the people who don't really know the systems never seem to have problems. Instead of buying CS just get the Posky 777 and add one of the freeware panels or the ISG gauges.

Several posts and very little help. I would like transparent feedback- not rants such as "Oh this is not a PMDG." "The nose doesn't look like PMDG, etc,,etc,"

 

-- What I need is sound feedback.. What is wrong with the landing gear? :angry:

Could you please explain why you consider this to be "a Garbage?" Please elaborate. Tell us what is wrong with this a/c? I can tell that you- just as myself and many more--, are eagerly waiting for the PMDG. But, please try to keep your mind away from PMDG for a moment, and focus on the CS-777 and provide a sound feedback.

Landing gear works fine for me (on my system at least). It's just the VNAV is the main problem.

I didn't mean "Garbage" as in "Garbage", just Garbage as in Garbage...

 

I'm not a fan of CS haven't been since I wasted allot of money on the "un-flyable" 767 & 757. They are good for visuals, but not for in-depth system's etc...From what I have read and also seen I am calling this "Garbage" as I would with a few other products that CS have released because...It just doesn't feature what is advertised.

 

Ok, it has a good looking model, and the usual CS style service doors/maintenance doors etc...the cabin has doors that open and close, but it doesn't feature what should be in the aircraft "Systems". Its faulty and has been since release. A year ago?

 

I don't want this turning into some argument that will never resolve, I'm just expressing how I feel about the CS 777 and I don't want my opinion to conflict with others opinions and cause Avsim style WW3.

 

Maybe we are spoilt with having PMDG developing such great visuals as well as "true to life systems" and that has shown us just how BASIC (CS) etc are...No offence to CS...Just saying...

The landing gear on CS aircraft is disabled if the product isn't properly unlocked, so people that have trouble with the registration scheme are often complaining about the lack of landing gear.

 

It's a problem, but one that is usually easily solvable if you sit and patiently work through the problem (usually it's something simple, in this case with the 777 it's usually that the 0.9 or earlier version was NOT uninstalled before installing the 1.0 version, as the installation notes for 1.0 are clear you must do)
