Yippee! Guess I have to check which one I don't have yet...

Are there any aircraft to recommend where the systems are good and the bugs fixed? This isn't sarcasm but a genuine question given what I read on the forums about their products would be cautious investing in any of their planes at the moment.

I would recommend their 757 or 767, the 707 is really good to. Don't buy the 777 (don't know why you would anyways since PMDG is coming out   )

This is odd, they don't usually do the 9.99 Euro sales until around Christmas. Must have something to do with the imminent release of the PMDG 777.

 

I wish they would discount the expansion packs as well, 10 Euro for the 737-200ADV expansion (Which is just a 737-200 with slightly extended slats) is too expensive.

Sorry, Ian, since their B777 v1.0 I'm nearly unable to recommend ...

 

With NON-fixed bugs their B767 could still be a choice, especially since the LVLD Version is graphically outdated.

PMDG 777 will be released around Christmas. :wink:

 

-757 still buggy

-767 still buggy

-777 buggy, buggy, buggy

 

No thx CS.

For ten bucks, YES YES YES.

Whats the 707 like for depth and outstanding bugs?

Iain,

 

Get the 707. It's an absolute steal for 10 Euros. I got it at that price, and I have never regretted it. Whilst I am not the kind of person that uses even a fraction of the systems, you can't criticise the great looking 3D model, very nice flight dynamics, and what I consider to be one of the best looking VCs in FSX (bar none). I have noticed a couple of bugs.....

 

* Sometimes the trim wheel sound plays constantly after loading the plane. However, loading it again usually solves the problem.

 

* Sometimes the flap sound keeps on playing even when the flaps have been fully extended or retracted.

 

I would also recommend the TSS JT3D sound set for this aircraft.

I  too would recommend their 707, to me it feels like they got the flight dynamics more right on it than with their other aircraft, it just feels more alive than other birds from CS and also looks really nice.

 

Indeed also TSS sound pack is highly recommended to be used with it as default sounds of the CS 707 aren't that good. 

 

767 is okay too, I'm now using it as Level D 767 causes random FSX startup crashes on my system and there seems to be no fix for that. 

 

Sure they both have some bugs but whatever, you aren't going to find better 707 for FSX. 

Can't recommend them as well

 

all products unfinished & buggy at different stage...

 

Watch CS forum & see by yourself

 

in fact community has to work to find solution & tweaks because CS has no plan to finish there work...

It seems the base packages (e.g. 767 base pack is 39.99 and 757 is 29.99) are not discounted to EUR 9.99...only expansion packs are EUR 9.99. Interesting...

The sale hasn't started yet. It starts 20AUG @ 0000Z

I don't see why all the hostility towards CS products.

 

I'm not here to bait the flame, but more here in support of CS and their addons. I own their C-130, B767, B707, B777.

 

They are all great looking models, the virtual cockpits are also outstanding. 

 

On terms of complexity, They don't come close to what PMDG offer, but then of all the addon developers, not many do. Why is there always a massive comparison between CS and PMDG, what makes everyone think that CS should be doing high fidelity systems in their addons? 

 

To those who question whether or not to buy their products? I wholey endorse you spending your cash on CS products, especially in the sales.

 

To those who say don't bother, Stop being so prudent with your hangars, I'm sure you've bought a much worse product than CS before
