Do you know when CS is going to take all of the blocks of the 757, and pull them together into one package?

I think that's the block F you're thinking about. I own the Block B package myself, can't wait to port it over to FSX.

No thats the Advanced systems. What I mean is when are they going to group everything (base, sound, -300 upgrade, freighter upgrade, etc.) into one single piece of software.

I thought they had that, pretty strange that they don't.

When the finally get Block-F done. So to say, well yeah.

It looks better to wait and get the Pro version.. the block system, although novel, makes things a bit difficult.

[Jet]

Never buy from them again.

As soon as Captain Sim figures out how much they'll charge EVERYONE (including existing customers) for it.

Yep....it doesn't matter if you paid for the FS9 version, you'll pay for the FSX version as well.
Check out this post over at their forums:
http://www.captainsi...?num=1160072962

And I'd be willing to bet that when they do get it ported over to FSX, some (if not most) of the great features you bought the FS9 C-130 for will not work!
Of course, they will not list all the things that didn't come over on the FSX conversion anywhere BEFORE you buy it.  You'll have to find that out after you give them your money.  
That is the way they've currently setup thier 757 conversion to FSX.  Not a single word anywhere on thier website as to what actually works in FSX...only this vauge statement:

"Please note, the 757 was originally developed for FS9, so all FSX upgrades basically provide a transfer of original graphics and functionality 'as is' from FS9 expansion to the FSX with all reasonably possible modifications. Due to difference between FS9 and FSX engines some of FS9 version features do not work in FSX version. But some of the new FSX additional features are functional."

Be sure you're ready to charge back your order if, after you buy it, it does not live up to your expectations.  (I'm betting you will)
