Captainsim 777

Question. 

It would cost me near $200 AU for the pmdg version.

Is the CS version worth the $20

I have read that people say its bad on fps and other things. But is it really that bad for $20 bucks?

 

Regards

Bought it, never used it.

I bought it, fly it regularly, and have no real issues with it. I have an older I7/3770 CPU and still get a smooth flight.

At $20, it's probably worth it. Nowhere near as good as the PMDG. I only have it because it became clear that PMDG wouldn't bother with the 200ER. If it's one or the other, I'd go for PMDG, hands down

It's a decent pick up for that price. Go for it.

Go, get it.

I´m using it since more then one year, and more then happy. There are some panel mods wich increasing the fps.

In my eyes there are two faults, which are not fixes bei CS.

777-200 Pax wrong calculating of the zfw because unreliable cargo container weight

777-200F if you load the 200F for example next day,  another livery, you have to reload the cargo again.

Ok guys thanks for the feedback.

I was going to grab the Carenardo ATR72 this week. But for what i get with the 777 for $20 its a no brainer. As to $60 AU for the ATR that has less sim features.

Thanks again 🙂

Would really like to know what these are - any chance of a link ?

I really like the CS 777 and for my type of flying, it strikes just the right balance between ease of use and complexity. No, it's not a PMDG, but it is certainly nice to fly.

On my system FPS are slightly down (~2-3) on the QW 787 and the AS 320.

Personally, I had some real issues overshooting VNAV constraints during takeoff and climb out until I managed to tame the beast with fully derated T/Os and climbs. Now they're far more relaxed and sedate !

The plane is awesome, much better then I had expected. I just bought it a few months ago (Full price) and fly it all the time. I since have gone back and purchased the freighter and -300 add-on's. Better get it quick!
