hey guys,
so i was thinking about buying the QW757 and the Leveld 767. Before i buy them i want to know what is the difference between the CLS and Captain sim versions. If anybody can help me decide that would be great! i have looked at the websites and they look almost the same, but i vear to the QW and Captain Sim and CLS.
thanks!

The Level-D was designed with input by RW 767 captains and F/Os, while it's my understanding that the CS was not. You'll find the majority of payware 767 users here are using the Level-D. Some may decry the VC switches not all being modeled in 3D, but I hardly noticed it after a few flights.
CS products also impact your FPS much harder than the Level-D and QW do as well.

I would stay away from the CLS, as the systems modeling isn't complete. The Captain Sim is nice, because you can get the -200 model too. It is a bit heavier on frames compared to the LevelD, however. As far as the QualityWings 757 is concerned it's a very great aircraft. Again, the systems aren't fully modeled (but way more so than the CLS); but the model looks great and the soundpack is astonishing! I love to crank up my speakers when I have her out. The Captain Sim 757 is very similar to the 767: very well modeled, looks great, but heavy on frames.

I haven't tried other 67s, but I tried several 57s. Have you looked at the PSS 757?
The three things I noticed different from the Level-D 767 and the PSS 757 was; The VHF Radio is not modeled in the PSS 757; There is no one button Grnd Service in the PSS; The First Officer doesn't handle your flaps and gear in the PSS.
Aside from those, I could sit down in the PSS and swear that Level-D had modeled it.
(of course, this comes from one who almost exclusively flies with 2D panel)

Remy I have to go with Todd on this. I have the LDS767 the QW757 and the CS757 and from what I have observed is that the CS model is a bit heavy of FPS even with the system I have. Flying in FS9 with all my settings as high as I can get pushing 70+ FPS the CS bird I can only get close to 40 FPS

The PSS model looks terrible...

Ok, so I think I have made my decision, I will get the QW757 and the Leveld 767 based on what you have said here, and what I have read and heard elsewhere. Thanks so much for your input. I an working on redoing my whole computer, getting whole new addons that are pay ware, and getting new flight planning software. Basically I am starting over with my computer world.

I can't wait. And I am really happy. I recently got a nice sum of money from my grandparents to rebuild my system, get new software and add-onset. I can't wait!

QW 757 is awesome...
Level D 767 is awesome...
CS 757 is OK, very heavy on system resources.
Don't ever buy a CLS product unless you haven't felt disappointment in a while and missed that feeling...
