October 15, 20232 yr Glad you enjoy it. CS will never be in my hangers again! Pete Richards I've owned every version of flight simulator since Flight Simulator 3.0 in 1988. Windows 11 Pro loaded on a 4TB Gen5 Crucial T700 SSD, 4TB Samsung 990 Pro SSD, Ryzen 9 7950x3d, AS Rock X670e Taichi Motherboard, Gigabyte Gaming RTX 4090 OC 24GB, 64GB (2x32GB) Viper Venom DDR5-6000MT/s, MSI 32" MAG 321UPX QD-OLED 260hz 4K Gaming Monitor.
October 15, 20232 yr Nice shots. The CS 717 has a good exterior model with lots of animations, as shown in the pictures. Regretfully for me, it's a bit of frustration when it comes to flying the plane, not only because it's a hack from the default MSFS A320 systems, but also the AP is not working properly, so the plane it's very difficult to control. Hopefully CS or a third party enthousiast could patch or develop a mod improving the handling of the plane and making it more similar to a true B717.

To say this is the best release from CS from stuff they released for MSFS, in my opinion.. The plane flies well but shure far away from like it should be so i don't use the word perfect or study level, we would not anymore get this from this Developer but i can handle this bird so it is OK for me. Hoping still for some usful updates from CS in the coming weeks. What is your problem with the AP ? I did three flights now and to say i didn't found big problems with the use of the AP.. But OK, the climb and descent Profile does not work pretty good but as a pilot you should be able to handle this issues with manuell setting the VS and things like that. So for me not bad but not good enough but i can handle the plane so it is useable for me. As i said, my new toy in my hanger.. cheers 😉 08.2024 new PC is online : ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F GAMING WIFI Mainboard, AMD Ryzen™ 9 7950X3D Prozessor, G.Skill DIMM 64 GB DDR5-6000 (2x 32 GB) Dual-Kit, MSI GeForce RTX 4090 VENTUS 3X E 24G OC Grafikkarte, 2x WD Black SN850X NVMe SSD 4 TB - Drive C+D, WD Gold Enterprise Class 12 TB for storage HDD, Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 1000W PC - Power supply, Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO CPU Aircooler with 7 Heatpipes, Design Meshify 2 White TG Clear Tint Tower-Case, 3x 4K monitors 2x32 Samsung 1x27 LG 3840x2160, Windows11 Prof. 23H2 - now Windows11 Prof. 25H2 Flightsimulator Hardware: Honeycomb Throttle Bravo, Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, Logitech Flight Joke System, XBox Controller, some Thrustmaster stuff, Winwing CDU Panels.
October 20, 20232 yr Wonderful to have this plane, to fly...albeit with limitations of the rendition... (The TFDi B717 was one of my perpetual favorites....) ... After all, this plane is so rich in history, combining the genes of Douglas, MD, and Boeing all-together in one a/c... Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures of it...! Enjoy...!
