BARGAIN Heads up! It's the captainsim annual "everything for 9,99 24h sale"!

[Nuno Pinto 1,394]

Hope so, i won't buy anything from them anymore at full price 

[avgaskoolaid 292]

I'm looking forward to the sale and am torn between the 737, 727, and L1011. Can anyone make a suggestion as to what I should waste my 10 bucks on (I'm using P3D)?

[Nuno Pinto 1,394]

I'm looking at the 727. I have both the 727 and 737 for FSX and they're quite good, but since i moved to P3D i haven't used them anymore and refuse to pay full price when there's really nothing new to them on P3D and CS support is, well, seriously bad.

 

I read about the L-1011 and it seems to be one of their best aircraft so far. CS is better at building older systems than newer FMC-based aircraft apparently.

The L1011 would be the best choice IMO. The 727 and 737 have problems here and there, making flying somewhat annoying. The L1011, however, is actually VERY nice to fly- problems are actually pretty hard to find in this one.

Saw the title and got excited and then saw the date,,,oh well. 

[cptrobie 2]

I got excited too and then like you saw the date.

 

 

However I will take the opportunity to prepare for this years sales event (hopefully) and ask this question:

 

Is the 727 worth getting as I seem to vaguely remember that an update was made that supposedly fixed most if not all of the known issues with this acft? Is my understanding correct?

 

Hopefully this year P3D variants will be sale eligible

I've had the 727 and the -200 add on for quite a while and it's a great aircraft. Vast majority of the bugs in the early versions of the product are now largely gone. Credit where credit is due, Captain Sim products are (in my opinion) absolutely fantastic for eye candy - very detailed exterior and interior modelling and always make a very faithful visual representation of the real thing. They do I feel fall a little short in systems modelling (or have done in the past anyway), but it is for that reason I feel they excel far more at the older generation analog cockpit aircraft. Their 757 which I also own, I didn't think was all that great. The 727 and the L1011 however are really very good.

Talking about the old stuff, I've been tempted by their 707 for years (I am personally a great fan of four engines).

Do you, ladies and gentlemen, think it's fun to fly (considering the possible E9.99 price) and look at (VC), or it does not match today's addon standards any longer?

[Tatave 57]

Their 707 is actually very good in terms of systems and modelling.

[scianoir 610]

Another vote for the L-1011 which I would say is perhaps their best aircraft. The 737 isn't bad either but the Milviz version is better if you are looking for a little more system accuracy.

I have certainly found the 707 fun to fly. I would agree that it is well modelled both externally and internally and the VC has a very realistic look to it. There is also quite reasonable system replication although don't expect PMDG levels!

Avid L-1011 flyer here.  It's a steal if/when it goes on sale.

[Guest JustanotherPilot]

Do their addons have dual installers for FSX and P3D V2 or are they separate EULA?

 

 

Unfortunately they are separate purchases, I've been waiting for the Prepar3D B777 to be on sale forever. This latest sale is for FSX products only

[warbirds 555]

So they don't have a 707 for P3D?

[qqwertz 772]

So they don't have a 707 for P3D?

No, at least not for now. I loved the plane in FSX and would buy it again for sure.

What about the JustFlight L-1011? How do these compare?
