CPT Sim Payware

Postby coalpedlar » Sun Sep 26, 2010 9:06 am

I've never dl'd any payware, but was looking at the Cpt Sim 727 package.

I'm interested in learning what IS attractive in the package for the price??

I'm also interested in others payware packages if one is superior.

Any experience?  Or am I better to just stick with freeware???
Thank you. :P

This past summer, CptSim had a half-price sale so I bought my first tube - the 727.  Not bad, appearance wise - didn't care much for the flight dynamics but, for $9.95, it was a good deal.  It's a port-over from their FS9 model and I don't know if this new package is true FSX - 'caveat emptor'.

My not-so-humble-opinion:  The 727 is a "gamer's plane",  You push the throttle forward and take off into the sky.  Depending on what you are looking for, or perhaps if you are interested in making Youtube videos, this might suit your entertainment needs perfectly.
If you are into flight planning and tables and charts, and watching the airplane perform to those, it probably isn't what you are looking for.

Well if you want realism, go for A2A Simulations: http://www.a2asimulations.com/
I've never bought anything from Cap. Sim, but like everyone's said, they don't seen like they are big on realism, but great for looks.

So it's all in your preferences.

Cannot agree with you on this, Captain Sim addons are top notch when it is about realizm - their C-130, 757 and 707 are definitely the best on the market. 've heard this from real worls pilots.

The original poster inquired about the Captain Sim 727 X.

I have their 727 and C-130 as well as the Xload pack.
The '130 is amazing and everything is clickable(the windshield wipers are fun)! :)
Havn't had much time to play with the 727 but it looks really good from the short hops I have taken.
Xload, not their best work. :P

The 757 is NOT complex, and the FMC is sloppy and overly aggressive.

...and the 727, I noticed the throttles were tied to the wrong engines. I posted on their forums, they deleted my post, and that was the end of that.

CaptainSim is NOT worth more than $15 an aircraft.
