Well right, I didnt suspect the "static system" itself was busted, I was just make believing that if I sat in a cockpit and saw the VSI messed up, thats what my immediate thought would be ;).  As for one big patch over several, yes, that is better (case in point, Falcon 4.0 and the "Falcon Dance").  And true the rest of the aircraft seems to be pretty accurate.  I just wish they wouldn't have cut corners in the first place.  No one has a 727 for fsx except for CS, so there shouldn't be much pressure to crank one out.  One other company is working to port their FS9 product over, but I doubt it will surface any time soon--not soon enough to compete with CS anyway.  Thats just my two cents.  It will be pretty nice though when the patch comes out for sure.
