Hmm, I don't know if the 767 is the right product considering there is already a brilliant one on the market. They could tap a potential hole if they made a fully-functional B777, but that's just my opinion. But I suppose they know their business. :-?

A pretty stupid move in my opinion by Captain Sim. Everybody already loves the Level D 767, I doubt people will suddenly flock to this one. I'll keep my eyes on it however. If it still has horrible FPS like the 757 as well as many bugs...

Not as stupid as one might think. The Level D 767 is out there, of course. But they have had the basic 767 model for years now, it was just a matter of converting it to FSX native and adding a few extra features. As I understand it, the 767 also shares several systems with the 757, so a large portion of work is already done or researched.

Definitely not a stupid move, and I look forward to the Captain Sim rendition. The Level D one may be very complex in systems programming, but this one will incorporate the aircraft systems and provide an even higher level of eye candy.

I think Captain Sim had the 767 planned before they wanted to release the B-52.

This seems rather unnecessary. I have the Level D B763-ER and it's incredibly detailed. What they could do is create an FSX model of their B707. Now that would be cool.

Anyway, if this thing eats as much FPS as the B757, it will most likely not be a success anyway.

A 707 is in the making  ;)

Is now out http://www.captainsim.com/products/b767/
From what it seems, very highly detailed, interior and exterior. The exterior is quite good on frames, but I can't really say the same for the interior. But to be fair, my pc isn't exactly good.

The cabin looks like normal great CS standards. But as my computer isn't ultra great and I already have the LDS 767, i'll pass on it.
