Capt Sim L1011 TriStar exterior released

[J0hn]

I just bought it - 9.99 Euro, with that amount discounted from the base pack when available - like previous releases.

Looks pretty good, but very disappointed to see that the temporary VC and FM they've used is the FSX default Airbus 321 - a horrid pig of a thing. It's the only default FSX model I won't touch with a barge pole. Yuk! Damn thing has a mind of its own and nuts flight dynamics.

Oh well.

They use a twin panel on a Tri-Jet???

I can't believe this. Releasing a half finished product (so the hapless purchaser can beta test it) stinks. I will stick to freeware (not that I fly any tubeliners) I always liked the Tristar so Justflight know what they can do with their half baked offering.

They must have taken note of the real life situation with the JSF!

EDIT: On second thoughts, reading Garry's correct comment, maybe they didn't take note of anything.

As I mentioned earlier.. it's nothing new for CS is it. They did the same with the B52. When the B75' was released, it wasn't a full model initially. I guess it keeps folks going back

You can also get an FSX native L1011 without a VC for free - http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1 ... &x=14&y=10




Which is (I think what I used here, with an RAF livery back in 2011)

Er... Captain Sim chaps, not Justflight this time around. As Dave B said CS have a history of doing this - gets the dollars in early I guess.

I suppose if people keep buying half-finished stuff, then CS (and others) will keep selling 'em.

Nobody is being force to buy.

I think it's just to give peeps something to get wet about until the full release. I don't mind - I've liked every CS product I've bought so far. I'm not a fan of 'big tin' but I use them in Air Hauler to earn 'big bucks' to buy my pretty twin-props with

The CS products suit my style of airliner flying (VFR) and they are easy to add the various bits I want to (Simflyer gauges usually).

If they use the exterior sales as a way of gauging interest then I'm quite happy to buy, knowing it'll be deducted from the base pack price.

I have the Perfect Flight L1011 with it's RAF scheme (think that's it in Darren's post) and it left me a little underwhelmed tbh.

Horses for courses.

Oh and of course Capt Sim built what in my mind is the best ever add-on aircraft for FSX, the C-130. With a decent soundset it's the Mutts Nuts

Here's a few screenies (resized) - tested out my new TM Warthog with FSX yesterday and the L1011 just arrived at the right time

It might be FM and VC from the A321, but it certainly doesn't feel like it - and all three engines contribute to virtual global warming!















all aboard...
