	Hi, To buy, or not? I see there is no wx RADAR or INS, which is fine. Are there any show-stoppers with this product? Is it worth the price tag? I missed the sale unfortunately (I think this was discounted as well??). Best regards, Robin.

	Depends on your opinion of what a show stopper is. The attention to detail and the desire to get it right makes this product worth every cent you spend on it. Is it flawless? No. It has what I would call minor issues that do not detract from the overall experience of the aircraft. The handling and operation is some of the best that I have seen in an simulated aircraft. I am a real RW airline pilot and can vouch for this product as being very realistic to the real thing. Some of the minor issues it has I feel may be more the limitations of MSFS, as this product is very demanding of MSFS's abilities, as well as the massive scope of complexity in getting this aircraft 100% flawless out the door. With this level of quality, to me, it's worth the price. I would purchase it again if I had to. Cheers, Thad

	Of the few reviews I can find, they are favorable, but I can't find anything that really goes in-depth on the systems.

I know in the past FS has had issues with this area. Best regards, Robin.

	The EPR on the 727 is closer to accurate in the latest service pack. It is a very enjoyable plane to fly, though it still could use a few minor tweaks. For people who fly always with autopilot, they probably won't notice something like the sensitivity of the pitch trim, but that's really the one thing left which I dislike... the plane is great. If you have a love of complex aircraft and especially 727, you will love the 727 Captain package.

	NOTE: I'm on hiatus, concentrating on flight training. Most of what I'm flying right now is a C172N similar to what I'm training in. I'll try to check in and answer questions when I can, but please don't be impatient, I have other priorities right now! &&&&I'm not a professional pilot, but I play one on the Internet!&&&&Captain Sim 757-200/-300/Freighter FSX (62.51 hours)&&Captain Sim 727-100 FSX (26.74 hours)&&Captain Sim C-130 X-perience FSX (15.05 hours)&&Hours last updated Aug 29, 2009 18:44Z.&&&&System: AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-core 2.5Ghz, 8GB RAM, nVidia 9600GT 512MB, Windows XP 64-bit, FS9/FSX, Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System, CH Pro Pedals&&&&Join us on the Ultimate Global Tour FSHost Server - 3000 Flight Plans to every country on every continent.

	Which is lighter on frames, 757 or 727? I've got the exterior for 727, that seems better. But I don't have the interior, which look like they could use a load lot more.
