I have logged many hours now in th FFX Boeing 727 Cool . It flies well and looks good to boot. Does anyone have an opionion in regards to the CaptainSim Payware 727?

I have been happy with the FFX version, is it worth the cash to get the CaptainSim 727 Question

No one has an opinion at all? Or is my deodorant not working or something like that? Just looking for some feedback here…

I never bought any aircraft, so far the only add-on I have is Ultimate Traffic and am planning on buying http://www.scenerysolutions.com/index.html when it comes out.
Also I'm a "taildragger".
Sorry that you haven't received any responses.

Update and info on CaptainSim Legendary 727.

I went ahead and bought the thing. The download was a little over 80 megs. If you are thinking about buying payware aircraft, I hope you are not still using dial-up! Embarassed (as I am)

Their order process was smooth, but there could be some improvement to the install process. You are given an order number when you make the purchase. On install you have to connect to their site and enter this number in a text field to complete the install. Here lies the bump in the road. The order number the give you is a letter then a string of numbers. If you enter the order number as it is given to you it will fail as invalid. Three invalid tries and it locks out. Turns out you are not supposed to include the letter, although is it included in the string and no where in the install instructions does it say to omit the letter. Evil or Very Mad

I will hit it again tonight and post here what I think about the CaptainSim Legendary 727. (Although there seems to be little interest in it by any one else but me) Wink

My maiden flight in the Legendary 727-100 was a quick trip up the coast to KSEA. The CaptainSim Legendary 727 is an incredible aircraft.

The flight characteristics of the Legendary 727 are very similar to the FFX 727, but the complexities of her systems are out of this world. There is a 15 point chech list just to light the APU! I love it![/img]
