There've been a couple of CS sales in the past (Christmas etc.) so I've stocked my hangar with CS/FSX aircraft. I have the C-130, B757, B727 and B767 and love them all wub.gif. Maybe the Herc is my favourite.

I also have a couple of Wilco aircraft, but I think CS are better all round. Some say CS aircraft can be framerate killers, but I haven't found that.

The B-52 is an exterior model only - no panel as yet. Looks like it's the only one I haven't got!

Anyone tried any of the Fs2004/Legendary series in FSX? I was thinking of the B707 or the MiG-21 ... pretty cheap.

Only FSX aircraft I haven't got in that list are the 757 and B-52... I'm sort of holding off until all the components of the B-52 are released.

Looks like your decision is made then laugh.gif ... the 757 is [also] a beaut .... and you get the RNZAF repaint thrown in. Want some screenies to help you decide???

Talking to myself ... always a bad sign!

Here's the CS FS2004 MiG-21 in FSX .... cheep cheep! The 2D/3D panels show their age a bit, but seem to be fully functional.




^^ "... 'ere, Brendon ... how can Adamski afford THAT THING on benefit?"



"... ees piece of pees, eh Adamski? 9348 was my lottery number!" laugh.gif

P.S. I saw one of these flying at an air show in the UK ... they are seriously macho. Noisier than a Concorde (and almost as fast). Made the F-16 look a bit limp-wristed winkyy.gif

Adamski = Polish ... Adamsky = Rooshian tongue.gif ... call me the latter and I may have to kill you laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

I don't normally grab combat aircraft in FS - I have plenty of military sims to play with (IL-2, LOMAC etc.) ... but this one's a blast!
