"It is the link to our Contests/Surveys page, not to forum."And where is the link to the Captain Sim forums? You know, the web site that all addon developers have where users can shares tips and tricks and experiences, do searches to find solutions to problems, make requests for liveries, share stories, and in general add to the experience of using the addon? You know, the web site that potential purchasers can go to to find out what the experiences of existing users have been? Let's call a spade a spade. Captain Sim dosn't have a forum because they can't. If they did, it would be one long rant from peeved off customers demanding that existing problems be solved. And no, Captain Sim dosn't want to hear that. Not while it's busy developing calenders and pre-emptive press releases designed to stall purchases of competing products. billg

>Thanks everybody for your comments.>>You can see what hundreds of the 707 users think about the>product here: http://www.captainsim.com/user/wap.html>With all due respect, hand picked comments to sell a less than stellar product is more like propaganda and not PR. If one was to purchase solely on the basis of a websites PR without asking questions first, we'd be full of low quality developers out there. At least "here" people can post their views and experiences, in an appropriate manner, be it positive or negative. Something one can't do on the CS site. If you were really into PR you would also welcome the criticisms in an effort to improve your product instead of stifling it. If you disagree with this last point, well, then we all know where you're coming from.All I can say is fix your aircraft and you won't have a problem. If you don't think you have a problem just wait until you release your 767 and see how many hundreds of happy CS767 users you can find for your 'PR' purposes. Bet there won't be many.--EDIT--Actually it's only 28 users comments and not hundreds. At Least get your PR right.--------Regards,JohnBoeing 727/737 & Lockheed C-130/L-100 Mechanichttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg

I love flying their 727 (the flight/visual model and VC are amazing)and why not also buy and fly PMDG's 737-800/900 (which I love to fly) as well.

I have heard that the Capt Sim 707 is "buggy." However, what exactly is wrong with it? If the autopilot is "buggy," what does it or does it not do that it should not or should do? This is an older airplane, and it is not a "push a few buttons and ride" kind of aircraft.Thanks,RH

I got it free through one of their contest's so it was very nice of them.The visual model and VC are top notch. The sounds are quite nice but you really need a powerful computer to handle it. The panel is nice, but cannot see such things as EPR or whatever as everything is crammed. Overall it is a nice product.

Actually nothing is wrong. >This is an older airplane, and it is not a "push a few buttons and >ride" kind of aircraft.Yes, and I like it. The 707 is very nice lady for real pilots.

I'd like to know why he was dredging up 3 months old topics for trolling.

I apologize for sounding so harsh, but I felt so dissapointed, and adding to that finding out they had got rid of the forums for help, really set me off. I respect everybody's opinion, but am kind of weary where those poll numbers came from now that I think of it. Judging from the way they do business, I would be weary about any claims they make. Anyway, I have a sneaky suspicion they will come back with the "entertainment" excuse. It is my fault not reading more about the product before buying. The list of porblems is so extense, I will write a review and submit it to AVSIM for their approval. One thing I find strange is that it's been a while since this product came out, and AVSIM has not done a review on it. Now, there may be simpler reasons like the reviewer is taking his time, and such, but I suspet it has something to do more as to lack of basic quality for a payware product. Here are a few of the issues on my part:1.) Documnetation is lacking at best (not to mention what is provided is ilogical)2.) Panel bitmap for overhead is not from plane. I found out through research and from my own 727 that all they did was add a fourth engine starter to a 727 overhead. This is bordering on scam to me.3.) There is almost no logic to any of the systems, and since I am not a real 707 pilot I am going from just what the so-called manual claims. Thinking about it, there may be no logic at all on any systems, it is just as if they left the bugs there with no attempt to even fix them (I am being generous here). IN poarticular, I cannot the avionics to work (and my electrics are fine..).I might as well just have a front panel and fly like a default FS plane (throttle up and point nose to go!). Now remember, their claims are of fidelity to the plane: "Most systems are programmed in accordance with B707 Manuals and tested by pilots and engineers.", so I beleive it is fair to criticize this way.4.) The AP cannot hold height at upper flight levels: I don't really care much for auto pilots, but at least on cruise, on jets. they should hold height (this is actually a basic requirement that regulations demand from high altitude flying jets).5.) Radar is a mystery. What does it actually do? The manual has almost nothing on this.6.) They have documentation on the FAQ that is not in the manual, and should be.7.) Apparently, they are using the excuse that their product is not compatible with other add-ons and may creat conflict. I can understand this as FS is notoriously problematic in this area. I have to say though, I have virtually not had any problem with any other add-on, payware or freeware. Ok. these are just a few. I'll write a proper review and submit it here, maybe AVSIM will allow me ti publish it. And my language will be less harsh of course.regards,Macs

"more like propaganda"Well, they are Russian.........LOL !Ash

Flightsim.com gave it an excellent review.http://www.flightsim.com/cgi/kds?$=main/re...cs707/cs707.htm

And they reviewed the Dreamfleet 727 commenting on the fact it seemed to be a shame that it included an EFIS panel that used the default 737 gauges!!! Even so it got the Armchair aviator award.For the record, the EFIS panel includes GDI+ vector gauges including an EHSI with rose/arc and map mode showing TCAS and FS flightplan waypoints..........just like the default 737 :-)I'm not going to comment on the 707 though.http://www.dreamfleet2000.com/gfx/images/F...BANNER_PAUL.jpg
