Can anyone get any real prices off the CS site? I can get the C-130 FSX price (49.99e) - but is that the discounted price? Trying other FSX a/c, I get generic payment option pages or suchlike.

I already bought the C-130+757 combo last time, so was after the 727 ...

The 727 is 49.99 euros = 116.64632 New Zealand dollars

Thanks, Nick ... how did you get that? I only get "Payment Options" when I click on "Buy Now" ... and can't see a price anywhere else.

Check out Flightstore UK for half the above prices,i.e.C 130 for 23.47 pound(about $61) and Captain Sim 757 for 21.47 pounds($NZ 56)ln January they had 30% off these prices inlcuding forward orders for the MD 11 and Level D 767 which I am buying for 25 pounds each($65).Ian.

You have you choose your method of payment first, before you can see the prices.

Grrr ... that's just barking mad. Why can't they at least put a base price (say euros) on each item detail listing ... [sigh]

BTW - Firefox users can install currency converter extensions: Exch ... and ... Converter or Currency Converter.

I agree that is plain stupid

Not sure why anyone wants to get CS planes. I have the 757 and it is the worst graphic friendly plane ever.
I much prefer to use Flight 1 , PSS and other producers planes with lower price and better performance.

By the way for Airbus lovers , Check out www.airsimmer.com . They are doing a marvelous job on A320 and A319 ! Their products are still under construction but you can see the progress and some videos/photos.

Captain Sim models are designed systems with min specs mentioned before buying . Once you get pc better than minumum requirements you would very much change your mind

My FSX is pretty slow - but then I have it loaded with a whole heap of crud - so *everything* (including the 2 CS planes I have) is slow. However - I think my CS C-130 and B757 are the best aircraft I have. The C-130 is an absolute delight. I'm not alone in thinking that - it got voted as top FS add-on a few times. It deserves it, IMHO.

My machine is like the Lada of all computers, so I reckon if I get a CS plane my 'Lada' will make like a Tasman highway patrol car in kaikoura and crash. still at least they look good

My PC has high spec as I use it for graphic design. Many users have voted the CS planes lags in frame rates even in high spec planes.
Personally I like the 757 but it is annoying to use due to low frame rate.

While flight1 planes have same or better graphic quality but they dont demand so much of computer resources.
Anyways thats my oppinion.

I haven't used the the C130 of CS as it is not my cup of tea.

I find my Captain Sim C-130 excellent on frame rates
