When I advance into the front seat of a 777 for my VA flying, I'll be entertaining this very same question... Do I purchase the CS777 or wait on the PMDG to dive into Prepar3D. I'm leaning significantly towards the CaptainSim version as time marches on. Why? It's available today, it's significantly cheaper, and it's got a good reputation. From the reading I've done, I'm questioning the ultimate value in the extra money and interminable wait for a PMDG brand product.

 

I think we all know that the PMDG version is an amazing product, full of rich features and capabilities... but I have to honestly ask myself if *I* will ever really use all the nuances they've programmed in, or will the capabilities of the CS777 satisfy my simming needs. So far, it looks like it will...

It is very satisfying but lacking in the lights department - the external model is stellar - you can beet the price thats for sure - no brainer really 

Hey guys, sorry, but I bought the CS 777 for P3D and malfunctioning badly, VNAV does not work nearly everything fails and is a KILL FPS, I spent 30 euros for nothing (if I made stupid) their planes are just eye candy, and try to sign up on their forums and I can not, I've sent an email over 3 days ago and have not answered me, in order not to buy it please is a waste of money, have not changed anything ... they suck. (I'm tired of being robbed and ripped off people in the face) remain a unpresentable, to say their "support forum" can not check in but you can see they do not solve anything to the client / user, so I needed to vent, wait for PMDG and fabulous masterpieces and also its great customer support.

Thank you

Yes, better to wait for PMDG, I as I pulled 30 euros away with this CS 777 I'll be updating've already paid (I guess by 2050 and work more or less well), but also in the forum as I've reset my password 53 times or more and no less and still telling me that it is not, sent them an email saying I have a problem and I sent an email robot that gives me even more angry over there is a type such a markoz of "technical support "which is the most useless being I've seen in a forum, finally .. CAPTAINSIM are rubbish, nothing to do with the fabulous PMDG products, their customer care and technical support that are wonderful 

 

Long live PMDG
