Hi all,Instead of my aunt just buying me a plane she gave me the dough and I cannot decide between the DF 727 and the CS C-130. I got TrackIR so the cirtual cockipit is pretty important. what do you guys reccomend?Thanks so much

I own both and the fidelity of the DF 727 is amazing and there is a major free upgrade in the works as well.Cheers,JohnBoeing 727/737 & Lockheed C-130/L-100 Mechanichttp://www.sstsim.com/images/team/JR.jpg

I finally loaded up the C130, heavy on frames, but very beautiful, very detailed.I personally love the 727, its one of my favorite.Id recommend the 727, but the VC is a little less crisp, although there is still a lot to do! And a lot of the stuff is on the engineers panel, not sure if you can see that with track IR

Got the 727 DF today and also have the IR Tracker 4!!!ITS A DREAM!!!!! McDaniel

Alright DF 727 it is!! :)

To be fair i dont know the CS130, but the 727 is so much fun to fly, because its really hard work, no superduper Autopilot and FMC!!!!:-)Daniel

Hey take a look :-)http://users.quick-line.ch/mcdanielson/DF727-IRT4-2.wmvhttp://users.quick-line.ch/mcdanielson/DF727-IRT4-3.wmvGreets Daniel

DF's 727 is one heck of a good airplane, you made a great choice. Those videos were awesome, is that TrackIR that lets you zoom around the VC like that? David

yep it follows your head movements

>Those videos were awesome, is that TrackIR that lets>you zoom around the VC like that? >>DavidWhatever it is he is using to pan around like that, it sure gives a kind of spasmic impression. I really hope he did it on purpouse to make the videos.:-hahhttp://www.scandicair.com/images/sa_banner.gif"Real men fly with round gauges"[/color]

That movement kind of makes me feel a little ill and I have never suffered from motion sickness.

THe CS 727 was the first payware aircraft I bought...lets just say I wish I knew about the DF 727. Back then I was still new to the fs world, thus uneducated about the best aircraft packages on the market..oh the power of hinesight. Anyways, I was thinking of getting DF 727 despite the fact that I have CS 727. The CS 727 is good, but DF 727 looks a lot better, especially the VC. CheersTristan

Mine is a bit too sensative and has a tendency not to stay put when I stop moving my head, yours looks like what I want. (Btw I have TrackIR3Pro + vector, not TrackIR4)Thanks!!PS.One last thing, does the TCAS show Vatsim traffic?Thanks!!!

He He HeIt is TrackIR4pro!And yes, the first time is kind of strange to use it.But if you have found the right configuration and settings (still tweaking like always :-)) it will blow you away, just the possebilityto take a fast close look at some instrument is great, and i love it to rise my head to look down on the runway when i taxi.Just pure fun!Not to mention the use in LockOn, its great for combat!RegardsDanielPS: Dont know about TCAS in Vatsim, will try today :-)

Naturally, my opinion would be a bit biased, but a forum search should tell you all you need to know Tristanhttp://www.dreamfleet2000.com/gfx/images/F...BANNER_PAUL.jpg
