I tried Orbiter
Spectacular graphics but I didn't understand much of it
Tonks was into it at one time

Got the two add-ons for the B707 - cargo & E-3. Shame they only have USAF paints for the E-3, but I hope someone will churn out a NATO/OTAN one before too long
Mind you - I think the expansions are always 9.99 Euro - so nought saved

PS - exchange rate by Paypal only 45p extra on 2 items - so not extortionate like some

Well, I've actually got all the CS products I want now (707,727,757,C130). On the other hand, I can't resist a bargain so I've bought two that I don't want
I've now got a 767 and a B52 in the hangar. God knows when I'll find time to fly them, though!
What I really really want is their 732 when it's finished. I've got a bit of pocket money put aside for that one.

I've not bought any Payware for a while.
Too busy spending my hard earned in places like Mothercare!
Decided to treat myself to the Boeing 707. Thats my friday night babysitting sorted out.
Once's shes gone off, I'll go off myself and have a tootle in it.

On the right day ... easy peasy! 707 & 757. I'm now asking myself why I bought them, as I don't often fly airliners.

Before anyone corrects me - there shouldn't be a NATO/OTAN paint for the E-3 as it's the 'B' model - and the NATO one was the E-3A.
At least that's how it was when I last had my beadies on them in Geilenkirchen.
TBH I can't remember what they have at Wadders - but it'll be easy to find out.

Had a look at CSIM -
the FS9 models are outdated and worse than the freeware planes I regularly fly.
The interesting models are still strictly FSX only - so I checked out with an empty basket.
Best,
Nick

Any half decent British liveries out there guys?
Scanned the usual places and most repaints are for the 300C.
Love to see a BOAC paint.

Have you had a good look through the FS9 Legendary 707 liveries, there is a way to convert them to FSX 707 Captain.

Hi Darren
No I haven't looked at any FS9 liveries as I wasn't aware you could port them over.
I always thought the FSX liveries were more detailed and of higher quality than FS9.
It never even crossed my mind.
How is it done?
