The 757 preview from Captain Sim

[Guest MarkM]

Got my newsletter from CS. I liked the news - free 2D panel upgrade for all who have Block B (me included :)). Also I have been highly anticipationg the model with wing views - I will get it. As well as additional new 23 liveries. CS say the 1.2 update will be available this month. All the heap for free :9 Checked the preview itself http://www.captainsim.com/products/b757/200/index.html - 2D panels look great! Definitely worth the wait.

They said August 06, not the 6th of August.

>They said August 06, not the 6th of August.>Actually, I believe they added that apostrophe (i.e., '06) ex post facto. :)

I can't believe you people keep buying this garbage. Have fun with that terrible developer, you've been warned hundreds of times.

I hope CS can fully turn things around for themselves - there's a lot of talent in the group and I wish them well.regards,MarkXPHomeSP2/FS9.1/3.2HT/1024mb/X700pro256

>I can't believe you people keep buying this garbage. Have>fun with that terrible developer, you've been warned hundreds>of times. That depends upon what you consider "terrible" and "garbage". I do not own their planes but saying that their 757 visual and or 2D cockpits are garbage is pruely subjective. I think their 2D panel looks better than any other 757 ever created. The "real" issue IMO is their lack of the "F" block to back up such pretty graphics. I don't care for the "block" sales concept but just because I don't like it does not mean it's not an interesting concept for them to try. If this turns out to be a bad business move, then, lack of sales should compel make them change this strategy or perhaps not. It's a little foolish to assume that developers create strictly out of love for flight simming. Them offering free items here I believe, is in big part to some complaints on these forums. It's also true that a developer is only as good as their last product but that does not mean this 757 will be "garbage" until we have the complete final product to review. ...............Randy J.

I know there were problems with the C130 but hasn't that turned out to be a good product now? Not exactly garbage.
