...But the base pack has now gone up to $99(although its in sale at its orginal price of  $75 at the moment). Unbelivable, over $200 for the whole lot now once the "sale" is over.

This cracks me up...Especially after rising the base price to $99...Seriously, what the hell are they thinking? 

[Snuffleupagus 327]

That’s just outrageous....

Now that is ironic.

Greetings. 

Would you guys recommend 757? Never had it from CaptainSim. I am wondering if it is worth to spend a $. Is everything simulated like in NG? Is it possible to assign custom TQ via FSUIPC? How is VC graphics? It looks good in the video. I read that people had issues keeping the speed with VNAV and engine start from cold and dark. I am wondering if this is still ongoing issues. 

Thank you

Well thanks. I have visited their forum and it looked like there are many issues with this airplane. I will standby for now.

It has its problems but it is basically the only decent 757 available. If you can get it on sale around Christmas when they mark it down significantly then I would say it is worth it. But at its normal price point, I would say it is absolutely not worth the money. You also have to spend extra money just to get the Rolls Royce version, and then more money for the freighter, and then more money for the -300. Their pricing and product grouping is honestly ridiculous.

So short answer, No.

Oh wow. Copy that, thanks.

I recently purchased the base CS 757 when it was on sale, plus the extension, even though I realized at the time that the 757 was probably a dinosaur in the real world (ya know, like the A380 with today's announcement).  However the 757 will still continue to live on as air freight carriers.  But I most likely will not be buying the CS 757 freighter line.

I like the look and feel of the CS 757, but have had a lot of trouble with the auto-throttle misbehaving...

Bought it at that Christmas Sale and have never had any issues to date. Best 757 for P3Dv4 out there ATM, IMHO.

I never thought I would see the day that CS would make FSL & PMDG look "cheap" 😂

LOL! 😄

Yearh - you're right. The pricing doesn't make sense... especially at $99 - I thought $75 was too high.

It's a good simulation, but for the price, you aren't getting your money's worth, in my opinion...
