Elvensmith Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Popping my head round the door of MSFS (again), I see there are a few jetliner add-ons from Captain Sim available to purchase - 767, 777 etc. Just wondering if these are any good, information and reviews seem to be very scant. Not expecting Level D or PMDG standards but are they sufficiently different to fly or are they just bits and bobs bolted together with the flight model and sounds of the default 747? Any information appreciated. Vern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Captain Sim are universally reviled by the MSFS community for using the default 747 VC in their Boeing models, four engines on the EICAS and all. Avoid. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

aler Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 This freeware mod https://flightsim.to/file/23875/captain-sim-b777-salty-compatibility-mod-with-eicas-mod Makes CS a joy to fly. My .02 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvensmith Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 I think I will avoid, then. Still having a love hate relationship with MSFS anyway! First time on it for months, go to reload a saved flight with the default 747 and can't get LNAV to reactivate. You would have thought by now all the save/load bugs would have been squished. Vern.

tiger1962 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) They haven't, and I think the reason is that the Xbox has an instant resume feature - quit the sim to play something else, quit that game and restart MSFS from wherever you left off and vice-versa. Doesn't work on PC though. Edited February 13, 2022 by tiger1962 Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

Elvensmith Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 Sadly unless they fix this rather fundamental feature, it makes one reluctant to invest in any expensive add ons knowing you won't be able to reliably resume a long flight. A problem not confined to FS, of course. X-Plane 11 has a similar issue as does Train Sim World 2. Seems the more complex our games get, the harder it is for the programmers to write a reliable save game algorithm. Vern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
