December 19, 200520 yr just for the record, I have many looong hours on this bird and have had no vnav issues - it does work for many of us. Only issue is it's aggressive initiating descent - that's among the tweaks/fixes I believe.I also enjoy the totally 3d and fully functional vc (I miss that in the 767) - it's the best part of this product imho.regards,Markhttp://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a319/mar.../sup_banner.jpghttp://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a319/markrey/lsd2.jpgXPHomeSP2/FS9.1/3.2HT/1GIG/X700pro256 Regards, Mark
December 19, 200520 yr Who needs reviews anyway?After watching 'Jeff Greth's' superb video's I went out and bought the video'd aircraft straight away. As for Vancouver+, I'm saving my pennies.He should be a professional.

December 19, 200520 yr Daniel for the record, do you think the PSS Concord was worth 5 stars???Don't have it, but owning products done before and after, I very much doubt it. :-lolDaniel P.http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/supporter.jpgMember of SJU Photography.

December 20, 200520 yr first let me say I purchased the CLS A300 and loved it... but they just posted a review without one mention of no FMC and absolutely nothing negative to say about it... well there isn't much except no FMC which turns a lot of people off. I'd say its time for fresh reviewers, or maybe just a few of us actually pay attention?

While I might not agree with their rating system>it certainly gives users an idea of what to expect and is>fair. >> We of course are free to rate any add-on by our own standards>and to publish these for all to read. Randy, This is not the case per se. I posted a link to my reviews page on the forum here and they deleted my post. They want absolutely no competition, even though I'm not a commercial entity. I offer pure, honest reviews; 100 percent unbiased by monetary influence. Where, in fact, do we publish our own reviews if said publishments will be deleted at will? I'm not here to say 'Freedom of Speech' yada yada, because this IS their forum, but they want you to only read their reviews, not anyone elses. Before any moderator jumps in and denies deleting my post, I'll gladly post the link and screenshot of said post prior to it's dissappearing. Back on topic though, their reviews are heavily biased in my 'opinion' ( see that? I'm allowed to express mine ). As such, I don't bother reading them anymore. I read posts on users that purchased said add-on prior to me.
December 20, 200520 yr Personally, i would of given it 4 1/2 just for the wx radar, if not 5. I think they did a great job on it. :) Chase Barnett
December 20, 200520 yr I hope I don't offend anyone here, but... :-kewl In my view the used hardware in this review looks 'strange':Test SystemCPU: Athlon64 2800+RAM: 512MBVideo: Nvidia 4200 TiSound
December 20, 200520 yr Well I have the 777-200LR and I think it's worth about 3.5/4max out of five.Like it says in the review the flight dynamics seem a bit crazy (not that I should, know not actually being a pilot)What I do know is the alerons seem to turn it like a combat aircraft and it likes to stall before reaching the red (I think i'm right here - let me know if i'm wrong - nicely)And i wish you couldn't see around the edge of the engine blades quite so much and the tail surfaces are a little chunky. Having said that I didn't fly the PMDG 747 untill they gave us a patch as it was unflyable on my system!!So I'm giving PSS a chance. before the patch I would have given the PMDG 744 about 1/5 and I was very upset that I'd spent so much money for nothing. I'm realy releaved that I can now fly it, post patch as it's fantastic!James
