Hi,Has anyone purchased this package yet? I was wondering if the planes have virutal cockpits. I don't expect the level of realism that I have with my PMDG & Level-D planes but they look like they might be fun to fly.Thanks,Jim

volume 1 or 2? If you have any payware aircraft you might be dissapointed in the detail. Most look like they have VCs, alhtough looking at the authors, the BAE-146 might not since it is by Jon Murchison. The ATR might be ok and you can get just that as a single by looking at the downloads section.Regards, MichaelKDFWhttp://www.calvirair.com/mcpics/mcdcvabanner.jpgCalVirAir International

I don't have it, but there is one screenshot of a VC for the Saab 340.It does have some nice aircraft, and was created by some well known developers.[hr color=#000000][table border=0" width="98%" id="table1" height="4" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2][td width=500]Jason CYOO - Formerly MYNN[br /]General Aviation Fan[br][/b]P4 3.2Ghz, 1GB Ram, FX5900 128MB, XP SP2.[br /][br /]

Hey Jim,Some good developers participate in Abacus projects, but the Abacus projects in general are focussed on quantity vs. having the same attention to detail as a PMDG release. I wouldn't expect an "immersive" VC experience in most Abacus releases, and I'm sorry to say there's not a lot of repaint support for their products by our community--I'm not sure if there's any at all.However, if you simply like to jump in the cockpit and fly, and have a lot of aircraft types to choose from, then perhaps you would find the package worthwhile. An alternative, although it's only one aircraft, would be PMDG's 1900 C or D. There's a lot of repaint support for both aircraft, and the panels are higher fidelity without being too overwhelming.-John

Thanks everyone for the replies. I appreciate it! I think I'll take a look at the PMDG commuter.Jim

I have the PMDG Beechcraft Commuter 1900C and it's a terrific aircraft: Easy and fun to fly, good graphics, sound, 2D and VC panels, and several paints. I also have the Flight 1 ATR, which is an equally fantastic aircraft. It's a little more involved than the Beech 1900C, but not especially complicated.You can't go wrong with either aircraft.Enjoy,Bob

So beyond the aircract and flying routes , what else is invovlved ? A financial or company management component, pilot logs ect. ?Just curious.cheersGreghttp://www.fs2crew.com/linepilot.jpg
