Hi,

 

I am about to buy the CLS 767-200/300 and I after I get the hang of that, I plan on moving up and barking with the big dogs by flying some NAT flights. Anybody have any tips or tutorials they think could help me? Thanks so much.

DON'T BUY IT!

 

Buy the Level D, the CLS isn't good at all.

Thanks for the tutorial. As far as the Level D and the CLS go. I have looked into both, and decided that the CLS is probably best to get a foothold on the 767 in general. Then, I can move to the Level D 767. But, why should I get the Level D instead?

 

Again, thanks!

Level D simulates the systems better then any other 767 on the market.

 

CLS's models are good visually, but when it comes to systems, still lots to desire.

 

Level D beats the rest hands down even for its age

You shouldn't be intimidated by the increased level of detail. It's VERY easy to learn, and given the lack of systems detail, the CLS is a complete waste of money.

 

I have no idea why people say the level d is difficult, it isn't. It takes maybe a couple days to learn.

It's also worth nothing that since the CLS doesn't have a real FMS, you'll find those NAT Procedures difficult.

Haha. Yeah, it has an FMS but uses the Flight Sim default waypoints. I didn't really think about that being a conflict until you mentioned it. Lol!

FWIW...

 

It strikes me as being pretty amazing, that in this day and age, that a product created for FS2002 (heck, maybe FS 2000, I don't remember), is still, considered by many, to be the standard in heavy jet simulation.

 

Hats off to Level D!!

Well, I'd call PMDG's MD-11 the standard, Level D trails it a bit due to their team's laziness.
