Title: I need help installing CS 707/727 Properly
Post by Longgadog on Apr 8^th, 2021 at 9:30am

Hello Everyone! I recently bought CS Legendary707 and 727 from the official store (captainsim dot com/store/ ) but I can't seem to make it work for FSX:SE. I know it is stated that its for FS9 but I saw some posts that says it works with FSX:SE too. When I select the 707 it crashes my FSX and if I select the 727. it loads but when you enter the simulation, a half black screen appears and the cockpit doesn't work. :'(

The aircraft should be installed in steam/steam apps/fsx/simobjects /Airplanes

How did they get installed into the FSX root directory? I would recommend uninstalling them using the uninstaller then downloading the installers again from CS an reinstalling. ;)

Cheers,
Nathan

I just re-read and I think I missed something, did you say you bought the FS2004 version? That only works in FS2004, you need the FSX version to use in steam :'(

I didn't know there was an FSX Version cause I only browsed CaptainSim's store, is it possible for a product exchange? :'(

The Captain Sim store has both versions (FS9 and FSX) the ones prefixed with “Legendary” are for FS9 and the ones with “Captain” are for FSX.
FS9... https://www.captainsim.com/products/b707/
FSX... https://www.captainsim.com/products/x707/

“ is it possible for a product exchange?”... I don’t know, you will have to email them.
