As for the Wing views, we get over the MSFS model faces limit if we add the wings.All we can do is to build 2-3 models:A: Flight Deck and Passenger Cabin but NO Wing views (what's what we have already)B: Passenger Cabin with Wing views but NO Flight DeckorC: Flight Deck and Wing views but NO 3D Passenger Cabin. As far as Wing Views goes, it doesn't really matter whether or not an aircraft model has them to me, as I get them with IGFLY Walk * follow, which I find to be a better solution as it doesn't require additional overhead to achieve. That being said, I think you would find if you took a poll, the overall Flightsim community, would prefer Option C. As PMDG has found out with their 744, and comments on the subject on your forum. Many people in this community for whatever reason, are resistant to purchase an additional addon to get wing views, and believe they should be included in the VC model itself. Me, I would only have the VC Flight Deck, without the Virtual Cabin, and get my wing views with W&F to improve performance, but that's just me. Very few though you will find, would prefer a virtual cabin over wing views, and niether at the expense of a VC flight deck!!

The captainsim 757 is a very nice visual model but the virtual cockpit is *very* heavy on resources and as such this has an adverse affect on the framerate, in single figures on my system, so is there any way to disable it?

What kind of system? No problems here. This is what they recommend for the 757: CPU 3.0 GHz 1024 Mb of RAM 256 Mb video card 1 Gb of free space on the MSFS hard drive Windows XP

Thanks, my system 2.2GHz cpu is below their recommended one so i guess that's the answer, however i run the levelD 767 ok without any framerate hit.

Just gotta click on the correct clickspot, which may take some practice on your part. Kind regards,

Alex, I'm starting to believe that your only mission inlife is to complain. Why exactly did you purchanse the product if you dislike CS so much?? If your not happy then you should ask for a refundand quit complaining. Craig

I just got the CS757. I love the visuals but performance and few other things already noted in this thread do pose some serious problems...Anyone having the problem with the Pitot Heat and the airspeed indicator freezing up??? :-hmmm Once the indicator is froze it remains that way for the rest of the flight...

No problems with the airspeed indicator but unable to turn pitot heat on. ce

The captain sim 757 model is very detailed so are the textures in 32-bit format? as the livery usually loads quite slow on my 2.2GHz system, the performance hit is quite noticeable, i can actually see the paint draw on the fuselage, anyone else get this?

But they do look good!!

DITTO! I have purchased what I wanted and happy with that! It is so great to have a choice. I AM a happy customer.

Did you actually read their website before you blindly entered in your credit card number?
