Even if they were would you buy it, it would be really unrealistic.

Wow EJ , thats a bold statement ... dont post it on their website . What do you mean by unrealistic ?
I have all their stuff way back to the MIG-21 , excluding the 777.

The term "unrealistic " is subjective .... Ive never flown a 757 or whatever so i dont know and wont comment , but from a visual perspective they cant be beaten .
Sorry to slam you , but you need to be able to back up a statement like that dude ... and yes , i would buy it.

No , not to my knowledge , with CLS and PMDG they have very much covered the market ... BUT

I have a Sneaky suspicion going on the Tristar with a lot of tape gauge work done , the Lockheed may follow with 'T'ailed transport and not the most common known one

Indeed , i didnt mean to slam Yob .... but that sort of talk is just silly , unless you have facts to back it up .

Really,...mate when I first got the CS C-130 I pulled out my old mans actual C-130 flight manuals and using the ACTUAL Lockheed prescribed start-ups using the Lockheed check-lists to get the CS Herk running,....unrealistic...not a chance mate.

It's a good thing probably that you dont have the CS 777 Marty, coz to be honest, it is a dogs breakfast. I've got a bunch of other CS titles and love em, but the 777 really has been very disappointing.
I've just applied the v1.2 release that came out last week, seems to be getting good reviews, but it's still got a bunch of infuriating issues that make it unflyable for IFR, it's basically a glorified visual only machine at present.

some examples (that are affecting me now, despite a full - as documented - reintsall)...
* you STILL cant start the bloody thing without CTRL-SHIFT-F4 (100% mixture) before cranking the engines - this isnt a PROP for petes sake !!!! this bug has been there since v0.2
* I just tried a cold-n-dark startup (no, not hitting CTRL-E :-) and flicked one of the displays to another view then back to Nav and couldnt then cycle it through the Nav modes (e.g VOR/PLN etc), basicaly it was stuck on VOR which aint very useful
* they still haven't released a useful set of manuals
* there's some baloney security mechanism that interferes sometimes when you switch 777 liveries and you end up with a fuselage floating in the air with no undercarriage

Now, some folks will say.. "hey, it's working for me", but this product has had such a history of NOT working for so many people I really couldn't endorse it, not at the moment anyway.

Roll on the PMDG !!!!

[Yob]

I think were talking about a differant company i am talking about a freeware developer and his only release is the 777.

[Yob]

And CS is his C being his first name and S his last.

[Adrian Brausch]

...so who is this freeware developer that has CS as his initials ?

That very flight i tried IFR planning and it did send me out and up the garden path and could'nt figure it - the weather radar i could not get that to work , but for the total cost it is cheap , PMDG can't be to far away , but i do like the early releases and testing .
