Nice one, thanks Ian. I really WANT this to be good, will save me getting a 2nd mortgage for the PMDG model

No , not good enough ..... top money , half arsed product , not good. Its almost been a year. .These guys peaked (imho) with the herc , after that .... no more money from me.

Good call Marty. The whole project has been poor, very disappointing

UPDATE - I thought I'd give this product one last dash, applied the v1.3 update tonight, tried a couple of test flights, am brassed off with myself for bothering now.

It's actually WORSE than before the upgrade it that's possible. Too many issues to bother documenting, and I'm sick of the whole uninstall-reinstall malarkey, why cant they just sort out their installers once and for all? Grrrrr...
No surprise to see feedback in their forums already concerning NEW bugs in this updated release.

If anyone is considering buying the CS 777 .... DONT .... as Marty said many of their other products are great, just not this one.

For $10 in their usual sales it's well worth it. It's working quite nicely here with 1.3. Big update, and good to see they still work on it. It thought they might have quit working on the T7 after the PMDG release, haha.

I hav'nt had a chance to d/load 1.3 after the early call , had meetings yesterday and was fragged last night , many have to remember it took three and a half years plus before the C130 was released after first mention it was in the pipeline , as with my 70 - 72 - 73- 75-76 - B52 - Space Shuttle and Xload , just a glitch , I liked that module approach to the builds , the 737 is a great example and thats a little stunner ! FS9 Starfighter is still brilliant ..... only one i cannot get running is my Yak3 in FS9 but i have gone to ask about that yet all in all Captain Sim will always get my attention .

I'm pleased it's working for you, and if it was working for me I'd be happy too. However a machine thats useless (as in my and many others cases) is not worth even $1

I'll have a look at it later today, i don't the mind un-install - install Ive got so use to that with FSX .. guess its just having to many toys glued to it .

You don't have to uninstall. Just download the update and install. Should work fine in most cases, sorry to hear it's not working for everyone.

I had it uninstalled , PC did a dance to the shop few weeks back , i notice if you also have the 300 install that then the SP3 , i'll have a look this afternoon , primary the mo is my website and planning and how to approach the layout .
