My heart raced seeing this. Then I realized I already have the FSX 727, 707 and 777. And none of these can be made to work in P3Dv4 + looks like they will price the updated (in how many years?) models at e.g., $75. Yikes!

. . . anybody know if the FSX 757 or 767 will work in 64 bit? Desperately in need of a 757/767 vc to merge with TDS and other models . .

It is too bad and shame that Captain Sim has NOT installed new airline type glass cockpit for C-130Js and C-130J Hurricane Hunters for FSX users.

Useful intell - thanks Jeansy. I also had the JF 757 Freemium vc merged with POSKY/SS 767's which was a good setup, but that panel doesn't work either in 64 bit and also is low priority for JF to update I reckon . .

qualitywings said a while back they will upgrade the 146 and 757 and will sell them for something like $15USD due to the dated tech, after trying the freemium variant in fsx vs the QW model, wait for the p3d update from QW

I hate these short time limited sales. By the time I remember or get around to looking they are gone.

I almost forgot but managed to remember with just 4 hours to spare. Got the C-130 package, now I need to find those notes on how to install it into P3D4

[fsafranek]

They are showing a version of the 757 Base Pack for "P3D4" but it doesn't seem to be on sale. Priced at $75.70. Too rich for me.
The 32-bit version for "FSX/SE/P3D3" is on sale at $12 but I also need something to mate up with the TDS models in P3D. Oh well.

Its the same as the C130 base pack, thats still full price.

Yeah, 12 hours was pretty ridiculous. I was having a look at the products I didn't have and was interested in before the sale started, but the sale started at 2am and ended at 2pm where I live (Melbourne, AU), so I was asleep and then at work while it was on. I didn't get home from work until 7pm, about 20 minutes ago. Not to worry, I was only really looking at the 737 and 757, and I would prefer to get P3DV4 version of the 737, and TBH for some reason the 757 is my least favourite airliner.

I can't complain too much anyway, as I have picked up multiple CS base packs from previous sales for only 10 Euros each. I think the only aircraft I did pay full price for were the C-130 total package and the B-52, and I've gotta say they were well worth it. I have bought several expansions for the airliners at full price too. I have the 707, 727, 767 and 777. I never bought the L-1011 as I have the Just Flight Pro version.

Yes, same issue and frustration here.

This sale was for FSX products specifically, I suppose in celebration as they plan on ditching further development for FSX. The 12 hours, $12 etc was in relation to the 12 years FSX has been out.

There is no guarantee, but they do have their annual 24 hour sale where all products are 9.99 Euro, which is on usually at 00:00 11 January (UTC). not sure if they'll do it again, but fingers crossed.

One problem

I believe that P3Dv4.3 actually comes with free Captain Sim C-130s

It does, but it's only a couple of the models, not all of them.

[expat]

I have and others too have just copied and pasted the models and paints you like from the FSX Herc into P3D v4 + making the usual adjustments.
