My quick reading of this suggests that the C130 is not $9-99 (Euros) but $59-99. A fairly important difference.
The 727 is $9-99 euros.

Important to read these things without getting carried away....?

I thought that too when I checked out their website. Then I read the email again properly. Here's Trolly's message again, with a bit of emphasis on a small but important point ...

The FS9 727 has a RNZAF paint done by Ed Knapp , the FSX model model i dont think so , seems not much interest for still waiting on a VC .
As for the C130 guess we have to wait if the price really comes down , the pro pack ..i,m sure they won,tl give that away .

I'd go for the 757 ... it's a one-off bargain ... the speakers you can get any time (you have the money) ...

Has anyone tried the FS9 version of the 757?
(How good is it compared to the FSX one)

I've tried the FSX demo and got bout 6-8FPS so im not sure
I want to get that one or the FS9 one for performance (but theres probably a big tradeoff ) sad.gif

EDIT: Does the fs9 757 have the same fully functional cockpit or are some buttons and switches inactive?

Yup, might go for it too. Not many other 757's out there for FS, POSKY version is getting on the old side, IFDG isn't much better....Qualitywings isn't finished yet. Hmm... got me thinking. Got CS's Yak 3...love it to bits. Might just go for the 757, heard the C130 is a bit heavy on frames. Their 707...727....oh the choices.

Going for the 757 myself. It's got the RNZAF skin and that's good enough for me. wink.gif

Well I think I might just take the plunge and go for it too. May even grab their 727 and 707 at the same time. Shouldn't be too much of a problem in the way of FPS, if I can run flytampa Kai Tak + CLS 747-200, heavy weather, max settings at 1650x1050 res.....I should have no problem with the 757.
