Captain Sim 727

[Kelburn]

Is it any good. I saw it for only 21NZD yes $21! So I want to know If I should get it?

[ZK-Brock]

I wouldn't yet, it's still in development so your $21 might not get the full package. Wait till they've completed everything.

I was thinking the 727 cause its not very expensive and it'll work on FS2002

Plus the 757 base packs $21 an so is the Space Shuttle (FS2004) and the 707 and the C-130 Professional is $30.

if you're thinking of buying the CS 727 or 707...think about your computer first. they need a LOT of oomph to get a smooth flight.

Im running a 3.2ghz with only 512 of DDR and the 727 performs flawlessly. Absolutly spectacular to fly, once you work out the autopilot, well worth the money. The C130 and the 707 are far heavier on the framerates.

chopper_nut, does the 727 have the systems like pressurization and the APU simulated and fro engine start up do you have to do things like turn on the APU etc?

i bought the 707 because i understood it to be lighter on frames...curse the boeing naming system!

Yeah the APU is fully operational, pressurisation, electrics, air con all work, how real it is I dont know, never flown a 727! Most of this stuff is on the S/Os panel. The other thing that I like is the checklist system. You can get the crew to read out the checklists. They wont move to the next item untill the previous one has been checked or set. Great model, great sounds, the auto pilot takes a bit of getting used to, no FMC!! and you really get the feel of flying an old airliner. For the price, I would really recommend this one. I might have to start using it online!!
