Who else made use of the Captain Sim sale?

After the 727, the C130 and the B-52 in previous years, this time I bought myself the 707, and it's a beauty:

Will probably get the B-52, and been thinking about the 707 too.

BTW Where did you get the Transavia paint, or have you already started painting it..?

Picked up the Buff....nice addon. Had to re-install it once; seems as though it didn't install properly the first time. Now all is good, and it is working great!

This deal is too good to let it pass, another goodie is you can use the old FS9 liveries:

42243

The only thing I did have a hard time with was starting up the engines manually - some kind of quick reference was missing from the CS manuals... Then I made one for myself and added it to the kneepad:

Engine Startup Quick Reference

The normal engine starting sequence is 3, 4, 2, 1.

Model Animation Panel (shft-2):
- Select External Power and Air

Engineer station:
- Electrical Power EXTERNAL ON
- Engine Bleed Air switches ON
- All Crossfeed Selectors OPEN

Throttles:
- All Engine Start Levers to CUTOFF detent

Overhead panel:
- Ground Start Selector switch to LOW PRESS
- Engine Start Control Selector to GROUND

Throttles:
- Engine Start Lever to START detent @ 15% N2, then to IDLE detent.

Then repeat the process for engine 4, then 2, then 1.

Overhead panel:
- Ground Start Selector switch to OFF

Engineer station:
- Essential Power Source to GEN 3
- Electrical Power EXTERNAL OFF

Model Animation Panel (shft-2):
- Un-Select External Power and Air

Yep, got the 707 and B-52. Toyed with the idea of getting the weapon pack as well, but not sure how much use I'd make of it or whether I wan't to add that function to FSX.

Looking forward to some flying tonight.

Any chance of a TAP Air Portugal skin? Would love it...
Thousands of hours on this plane as a Cabin Superviser...
Great, trusty workhorse. Once, back in 74 when evacuating Angola, we took off from Nova Lisboa, now Huambo (not sure) with 226 people on board...

I have spent some time in the 707 today, only doing two full approaches, but mostly pouring over the engineers panel and looking at the goodies. Oddly, everything on it is stuff I already manage while flying a two pilot jet in the RW, so it wasn't very intimidating.

I did jump out of it and put some time on the BUFF, which I've had for awhile....a fine model.

Beautiful repaints Jankees!

Didn't buy anything though; I have their 757 and 727 from previous sales, but they are gathering up virtual dust on my hard disc as I don't really fly a lot of 'heavies'. The 757 still kills my framerate even with my new videocard. The 727 is nice but I do not fly it enough to buy the 707 too.

I don't have any CS planes for FSX mostly because I don't really care for the heavies. However I am patiently waiting for their B737-100 and 200 to be released. Because I will definitely be owning that one.
