A320 Jetliner Review

A320 Jetliner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
What a disappointment! I had been flying for some time the A321 that comes with FSX but at some point I came to know that this simulated aircraft is quite different from the real one. So, in an attempt to learn the Airbus systems and controls (quite different from Boeing's) as they really are, I bought this A320. When I first looked at the cabin, I thought I had made a mistake opening the default A321 from FSX. Everything seemed so similar! But no...I had opened the "new one". I looked for the Airbus FCU with all the managed and selected functions, the very different arrangement of buttons and displays but there were none... all I could see was a copy of the FSX A321!!! The only innovation was the FMGC... but even this was a deception. It is very simplistic and limited in functions... not even close to serious flight planning and management!

757 Captain Review

757 Captain
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was told to expect great things from the creator of this addon, Captain Sim, i was not disappointed when i installed this aircraft and took it for a test flight.
As mentioned in my title, this is my first payware addon for my flight simming. after finding out that this addon was being sold on amazon for half the price as what is listed on the Captain Sim website, i had to pull the trigger.
Before i purchased this, i was not satisfied with the freeware 757's being offered for Flight Simulator X, i think all of them were converted from FS2004 use, and none of them had a virtual cockpit for FSX. I am getting used to flying from the flight deck rather than flying from spot view from behind the aircraft and virtual cockpit is really useful.
This dvd comes with versions for both Flight Simulator 2004(fs9) and Flight Simulator X(FSX), comes packaged in a convenient plastic dvd case like most games being sold these days(i thought it would arrive in a cardboard ox like the older games did)
This dvd also comes with a 100 page manual that describes instruments.
This addon includes the 757-200 with 2 types of engines and winglet options as well as the -300 with 2 engine types and winglets as well as a freighter version.
one last thing to note is that by purchasing this product, you will have to use the support on the [...] site, currently, [...] requires a order number to log on to its site and you do not get this number when purchasing this product here on amazon or from Just Flight's website(there is an update patch available for this version on the just flight website)

Only the best for the Captain. This is the most accurate and authentic rendition of the 757 ever created. The systems and flight characteristics reflect those of the real airliner. Hundreds of animations, critically-acclaimed flight models, accurate avionics and a global selection of liveries.The 757 is acknowledged throughout the world as the leader in short to medium range operations. It is hugely popular with operators, crews and passengers and now a professional quality re-creation of this great airliner can be flown in Flight Simulator X or 2004. This spectacular 757 expansion has been developed by the experts at Captain Sim and is a technical masterpiece. It comes in -200, -300 and freighter variants with an impressive selection of airline liveries and different engine variants.If you want the finest 757 for your simulated fleet then look no further – this is the Captain’s choice!

Airbus Collection: Long Haul Expansion for MS Flight Simulator X/2004 Review

Airbus Collection: Long Haul Expansion for MS Flight Simulator X/2004
Average Reviews:

In response to the first review.... your review sounds suspiciously biased against CLS. All of those problems you mentioned do not exist if you PROPERLY install the service pack. There was never a problem with clicking sounds or GPWS?? I'm sorry you did not like the product and I'm glad you got a refund. However, there is a problem with your computer if all of those things you mentioned did not work. I'd personally stay away from PSS since they closed down. If you want the best of both worlds, merge the Wilco Panel with the CLS Airbus. Wilco's model is JUNK and is not deserving of that panel.

Fighter Pilot 2 Review

Fighter Pilot 2
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this game to compliment the short list of jet fighters that FSX has to offer; and it has most of the popular aircraft, however controling any one of the aircraft is a chore. By comparison, the one jet fighter that FSX has seems like a generation ahead in it's flight model as well as the cocpit graphics. The graphics of the exterior of the aircraft are near flawless, but that is where the excitement tapers off. It seems apparent that Microsoft didn't share any of it's design secrets.

Warbirds of WWII Review

Warbirds of WWII
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Warbirds of WWII is just what the doctor ordered. With the exception of the Corsair, whose engine sounds like a Cessena 182, the rest of the downloads are just what you expected. The cockpits are fantastic, with plenty of room to mouse around and throw switches, knobs, and radio channels. The P-47, and the Mosquito sound fantastic, and are exacatly what you would expect to hear from a recip. The P-38 is in another category all to itself. The turbochargers whistle right up, and the controls are fantastic. Some of the normal key selections are not the same as what is printed in the manual, but so what. Play around and find them. The Shift + E still opens the canopies, with the exception again of the Corsair. It is a birdcage canopy, and the pilot moves forward as if it were opening, but it does not. Again so what, things I can live with. A litle pricey for 29.95, but well worth it. I ordered on the 10 th of Dec, and recieved it yesterday on the 15th, with the weekend in the middle. Not bad for the holidays. *NOTE* Sorry for you Mac users with attitude, you are just going to miss some of the best add ons around. I downloaded to one tower pc with XP and MS/FS 2004 and another tower pc with Vista and MS/FS X, works great, and downloaded fast. I want some more planes please! Four stars out of five.
