Definitely.  Is it worth it? To me yes, because I wanted the advanced model, though the price would have been easier to swallow if they had at least added the 177.  It can't be that difficult or expensive, bit of remodeling in the VC and some minor coding (or repurposeing of code from the 757/767) could have gotten a 177 into the plane.  Oh, well this plane has been a trial of sorts for CS, they may yet include it later. Adv production began in the late 60s (67) and the SP177 became available only in the early 80s (82) - that's 15 years after the first flight of a 732 advanced. And it's not so easy to code an autopilot - I have to say that in defence to Captain Sim although I basicly agree with you here and I'm very critical in this forum here.

You are correct about the later model (732) Sperry 177 Advanced autopilot . I have quoted from the release of the Advanced model.

"Highly detailed and accurate digital replica of Boeing 737-200ADV aircraft. The most significant exterior features of the -ADV are the extended engine nacelles (by 1.14m/3ft 9in), broad engine pylons and the inboard leading edge flaps extended to the fuselage."

I do not see any reference to the Sperry 177 or any other VC update.
Who knows, maybe later. In Captain Sims defense we got what was listed.
