Abacus Flight Deck 6?

[grover1]

Hi all,

I'm thinking of buying Abacus's Flight Deck 6. I saw some pictures not too long ago and thought it was pretty cool.

Is it worth buying and does anyone have any reviews of it?

Thanks,

Chris

This has been asked before (http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?77306-Abacus-Flight-deck-6&highlight=abacus+flight+deck+6), and I think the general view was that it didn't offer anything you couldn't do with FSX Acceleration combined with some of the freeware available.

You might want to spend that money in some good glasses instead. :icon_lol:

Ditto. Ported FS9, OK for it era, but most everything in it can be had as FSX native freeware. I'd say,spend the money on the Virt Seaking, or DSB CVAN-65. The Abacus combat helicopters pack is somewhat more useful, in as much as it has several FSX native helios by Tolga Piskin. Slick and Guns Huey's, Panther, A VH-3 (why a VH-3, I don't know. Hmm. Might have to make a B.O. releasable object for that...), though some of the others were FS9 ports. Not up to current FSX standards (I'm one to talk!) but still look fine, OK VC's, nice frames. FD6 did, however, mess up JAVA, and JAVA dependent add ons, (Qualifier)on my machine, so, in the bin it went. ( well, sold the CD at a garbage sale)

It's not worth it. Try these freeware addons instead:

Okay, thanks. I have Dino's F-14, F-35, and T-45 and think they're pretty cool. I'll probably use the money and buy VRS's F-18 Superbug instead

I'll tell you this thing: I would love a decent Nimitz like the one posted by grover1 but as static scenery. Before you ask: yes because I'm a lousy pilot! :mix-smi:
