Title: Box version compatible with expansion download?
Post by Raul on Oct 28th, 2011 at 4:48pm
Hi, y have the "just flight" BOX version, y wanted to know if there is a chance to add the download versions "CAPTAIN SIM - C-130 X-PERIENCE EXTRA PACK I and II" to my BOX version.

I don't think you can add the Extra Pack I and Extra Pack II downloads to add to the boxed version. Just Flight package it differently to the way Captain Sim do.

At the online store, the C-130 X-perience is €39.99. The Just Flight boxed version is €44.95 + Packaging & Handling (postage). So you could have got it cheaper buying the download version from the CS online store.
However! If you did not know that, then it's just a pity that you didn't.
My problem is that when I buy something, I want it now. Not a week later via post. I have done that, I still do, but I get so impatient for my postie to deliver it.

Hi Mark, really I believe that the captain c-130 is a product wonderful and very well developed this way that I am going to have to buy again though I do not look alike justly.

Unfortunately. Captain Sim sell only the download version here in their online store.
Just Flight, on the other hand, repackage the CS to their own liking, and sell it in a box.
I assume that CS must get a percentage of the sales. So if you buy a box product from Just Flight, it is not really Captain Sim's fault that if Just Flight leave out models or liveries. It is the way Just Flight want to do it.
Captain Sim would prefer everyone to buy directly from their store, here, as it means more money for them (I assume), because you cut out "the middle man".

I was lucky that I bought download versions of CS products (from another reseller), but since I found out that CS sell it themselves, I buy from the online store here.

Thanks Mark again, it happens to me with "757 captain" too  because y have the "just flight" box version and by the moment only the 4.4 installed because of it, so my anxiety is uncontrollable, the 757 is one of my most important planes and y can not keep an eye on the VC night improvement on the panel gauges, if it is not a problem for you, would you send to me a capture of the new 4.5 panel vc night lighting
backlite gauges or with the panel lights on? y would be very grateful because it is the only way to know the changes to me. If you want y send you a private message.Thanks you vey much.

OK. Here is how the lighting in the VC looks in v4.5


With the panel light only. This is the one I think you are mostly interested in.


With the flood lights only.


With both panel and flood lights.

OHHHHHH is absolutely incredible!!!!! amazing!!!. Mark, this attention that you have had for with I I am not going to forget her and y am forever grateful, the only problem is y am not going to be able to wait to " just flight " and am going to have to buy it already because in "Just Flight" they answered me that the possibility exists that they have not 4.5 never.
Mark, thanks you again.

In a way, I don't blame them for not doing v4.5. It does have some serious problems. Hopefully most, if not all, those problems will fixed in v4.6. If that is the case, then Just Flight will probably (hopefully) do an update to that.

Mark, thank you very much for the warning, so the serious problems are so serious as to suggest me not to buy the download version and to wait up to the 4.6 Update? what kind of serious problems are whe talking about? it is unflyable? the 4.6 has an aproximate release date?
Thanks you again, Mark.

Read these two Topics in the 757 Captain - General forum:

Was 4.5 really tested?
ILS and HDG Problems with 4.5

This will show you the seriousness of the problems in v4.5. You can decide for yourself if you do, or don't, buy it now. If you buy it now, you get a free update to v4.6, but you may not enjoy using it until v4.6 is released.

I am not a member of the Captain Sim team, so I really don't know how when it will be released. I could guess, but who knows how close to right I would be.

As the saying goes, "It will be ready when it is ready".

How did we go from C-130X to 757 4.5 on a C-130 forum location? :-?

Title: Re: Box version compatible with expansion download?
Post by Raul on Oct 30th, 2011 at 11:49pm
Mark, thank you for your time and the dedication that you put in your replies to this, I am going to wait that 4.6 goes out to avoid unnecesaries uninstalations, however the vc night lighting is now amazing and realistic, especially the overhead panel, dark like the real aircraft and with the flood lights available.
Y hope "Captain sim" 757 developers working hard on it because y think Captain Products are "real pieces of art" and a "Small cloud cannot cover the late beautifull afternoon" and that is y think about
Captain products, they are like a beautiful afternoon.
God bless you, Mark.
Raul Aubele.

It happens sometimes. It started of with adding the C-130 Extra Packs to the another company boxed version, to a discussion of 757 updates for the another company boxed version.

I guess you would say we got sidetracked! :-[

Hi Don, y beg your pardon, hope that this it has not affected you seriously. ;)

Hi Mark, only a last sidetracked question, is the VC night improvement 4.5 exactly the same as 4.6, isn't it?

Title: Re: Box version compatible with expansion download?
Post by Markoz on Nov 15th, 2011 at 12:02pm
Yes. It's exactly the same for v4.6 as it was for v4.5.

Thanks you again Mark, so y will purchase 2 times the same product, first to "Just Flight" and now to "Captain Sim", y thought this kind of things only happened on my country "Argentina", but y had never thought that it would be the same on "First World", y mean if "Captain" has recieved money when y have bought 757 box to "J F", (y think so with common sense) y think it is not properly that they return to do it for the same software.
Y am a dentist surgeon and if y brake relations with some company of health during an "Oral rehabilitation", my patients do not have the fault and they are the most important thing y consider, I had liked that "Captain" was doing the same thing with me like a customer y am.
Regards,
Raul Aubele.
