@ Dax

It is not my wish to discredit or dis-rail the great Capt sim....but when you quoted my post and offered your postulated views...i am surprised to see that you also have failed to see the bigger picture my friend..

you state:

''What would you rather have?  An interior that has no external model? Or and exterior where you could either add your own choice of cockpit or wait for the official one?  You could have both if you are willing to wait a few more years.''...

Dont you see??????..Capt sim hasnt even stated they are going to release a VC!!!!!!. so why do you suppose we could have BOTH in a few yrs..what do you base your presumptions on?.and as i already reiterated MY VIEWS were that they SHOULD of worked on a VC as WELL as the exterior!..i thought i made that simple point pertinent....please re-read my statements...and as for what i would like.. a b52 exterior with a b52 cockpit..not a ridiculous 747 aliased one!...its an insult to any serious FSX simmer to expect to pay for such a thing!


The 727 for FSX was released with no cockpit to speak of.  CS came through with a great updated version of the 727 cockpit.  I think it will be the same for the Buff.  But as they have to start from scratch, hence the longer development time.
On to the cockpit.  CS's Legendary C-130 for FS9 took 3 years to develop.  Most of that you can imagine is on the cockpit, vc and gauges.  The Buff has six seated positions. That's five full cockpits so to speak.  


I think you will find if you do some research and look into the delays on the c130 you will see it was  more to do with internal management conflicts and personal issues than actual physical development problems..But even with the convoluted stressful gestation period of the c-130 ...at least it had a complete fully working interior model...this is sadly not the case for the b52 nor does it appear to be a planned future inclusion....



Your views of reality seem sadly compromised..you state:


In Reality (as seems to be the sentence for this topic).  CS moved to the modular retail solution with the 757.  You bought the product in blocks so you can enjoy the aircraft as they develop it.  You get what they finish.  This also means they can concentrate on one part at a time to bring it out for you to enjoy as quickly as they can.  This was not embraced by everyone but it is a policy they have stuck to.  They are also working on multiple projects with a team that can’t be much bigger than when they worked on the 757.

and the biggest solution to all of it is....if you don't like it don't buy it...no one is forcing anyone too.

A note to all who read this topic too.  Captain Sim doesn’t accept any impolite behavior in there forum




CS moved to the modular retail solution with the 757???...so what does that mean for the end user..ie the PAYING customer??...buy half now..HOPE and PRAY the other much needed half  or bits and pieces will appear ONLY MAYBE if capt sim feels like it in a few more yrs!!!...so why do we still have their F117 with a f18 vc??...if you or anyone else subscribe to this increasingly prevalent  policy all you are doing is supporting any further half baked future releases from Capt sim...cant you see that?

You say ''They are also working on multiple projects with a team that can’t be much bigger than when they worked on the 757.''
Well in my opinion they would be better finishing one project in a professionally accepted way before starting a dozen others (how many of them are without internal models??????)...

Finally you for some weird reason feel like making the bold statement that   '' Captain Sim doesn’t accept any impolite behavior in there forum''.....

I am fully aware of Capt sims Forum Etiquette..i also realise that impolite or immature argumentative behaviour is not acceptable on ANY forum!...not withstanding just Capt sims!..however i am also aware that in order to recieve feedback they must appreciate tha tnot everyone will be sweet and rosy all the time!

Of course they will also receive valuable and free! feedback from their customers and any future potential customers and that's invaluable if they so wish to continue to consolidate their Number one place in the fsim PAYWARE world so they will also have to be realistic with their forums and not just expect to listen to a few die hard devotes who for some strange reason are still not seeing the bigger picture on what's happening here!

Anyway i thank you for you input and please be assured i have nothing personal against you or anyone else on this forum or Capt sim and their fine team of skilled people that give us so much ....all i want is a decent INTERIOR MODEL with every EXTERIOR....AS IN MOST freeware  AND EVEN LETS BE HONEST THE DEFAULT fsx AIRCRAFT!.....IS IT REALLY TOO MUCH TO ASK???...couldnt they have at leat released thsi with a BETA VC..then later the pro version!??......like i said...i will not be buying this model now...and i doubt a lot of others will be!  

.....am very annoyed Capt sim even expects ANYONE to want to buy a plane with a cockpit!....whats next...no wheels??...or no wings??...where does one draw the line?....
