The only thing that's sad here

IMO the other sad thing is folks who claim hate posts like these....and yet....here they are, you gotta' see the irony in that. 🙂 

The force that compels you to post here seems to be just as strong as the "avsim baby carrots" (I like that one...can I use it in the future? Hehe) urge to post when a CS topic hits the forums.   Weird huh?

The only thing that's sad here are the usual avsim baby carrots with their tired old "CS is garbage" shtick. This is even more stale than my old sneakers, and it smells just as bad.

Ok, we get it, you need a heart transplant  because CS released a C 130 without a virtual cockpit.

If I could sell avsim's forums to Netflix, I'd make a killing.

We are on a forum right? To discuss topics. We are entitled to our opinion just like you share yours. Get over yourself. 

So, just in case people aren't getting it, this is the old Captain Sim in name only. 
They used to make excellent products, but now the ownership is different and they have lost a lot of capability to make things such as virtual cockpits etc.
They currently only have the limited 'skill' of converting the exterior models over.

But this isn't a scam and the description of what you are getting is quite clear.  That is not to say it interests me at all - it doesn't.
The shame is that on the marketplace, if people don't read the description properly, they may end up being disappointed, as decent virtual cockpits are kind of expected these days.

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

I'm considering cancelling my Netflix subscription. The entertainment value of AVSIM beats a good sitcom any day. This and the PMDG thread... 😂

Eh, this is you posting a partial statement to be taken out of context...

Post the full quote, and it appears that I was not imagining "thigs"....whatever those are. 🤔

..."No.....no we're not surprised at all....we are surprised though that this time you couldn't find a way to spin a slick marketing phrase to imply that it's a fully modeled C-130 to lure unsuspecting simmers to buy it, then come complaining in your forums that they didn't understand what the marketing hype actually meant. "

I appreciate the effort though. 😉

I didn't know that in 2022, expecting an aircraft in a flight simulator to have a cockpit was something that was extra. This is a flight simulator not GTA. even GTA has cockpit btw. They are not functional but the view is there.

Such a shame, I had a great time flying the old Captain Sim C-130. I really liked it.

 

This "new one" seems ridiculous.

ok, 7 pages of venting is enough. I can't see this going anywhere so it's time to close it down.
