Hello, ladies and gentlemen.

Yesterday I couldn't resist any longer and purchased the FSX 727. I love the 727, and since I had to scrap the first version of CS727 when I went to FS-X I have eagerly waited for this version.

The FSX version installed like a champ, no problems so far. When I launched FSX the three holer was there in the menu and it was a blast to finally see my dream standing there on my own tarmac in all her glory. The Captain Sim 727 is by far the absolutely best looking aircraft for FS I have ever seen, and I have been around with FS since early ninetees (former member of FPDA - Freeware Panel Designer Association).

But, there is a BUT, when in cockpit I soon found out that it was impossible to use the battery switch. Hm, I needed that ON if I should manage to start her up. Alot of the switches in the engineer's panel was movable though, but without starting anything. I tried to jump start her with Ctrl - E, no success either and after a short while I found out that none of the switches in the overhead worked either. No yokes either. I tried to remove FSUIPC, no success. I tried to load the CS727 twice, and still no live in the aircraft systems.

The I went back to the spec for this addon, and....... it says the CS727 must have XP or Vista to run. I have W7  :'( . Off course I should have noticed this in the first place, it's my fault  :-[  , but under the CS acknowledge base as far as I remember I found a line where its says that this FSX version of the 727 might be possible to be flown also under W7.

I am not complaining about the CS 727 as a product, it was me who overlooked the OS issue.

So to my question (yeah, I know, I always use a lot of words - english isn't my mother language): Does anybody out there fly the CS 727 for FSX under W7, or if not does anybody know if I can hope for a future W7 patch? I really hope so, I already love this package even I so far only can sit on the tarmac and watch her.  :'(

Looking forward to hear from you, all!  ;)

Kind regards
Mr Beachman
