707

[TeiscoDelRay]

Anyone still flying the Capt. Sim 707? I am doing some high rez repaints and wonder if there is any interest?

[Mike71]

I still do, in FSX Steam, while breathlessly (and perhaps hopelessly) waiting for a P3D4+ version. IMHO one of the finest payware tubeliners ever put on the market. The 727 is a close 2nd.

[PeteHam]

Yep, I still have it installed in FSX.SE.

Love the old Boeing classics.

Pete.

[Jafo]

I did a few ages ago....looks like 2009...stuff like this one...;) [John Travolta's] It's only 2048 res....back in the day before I started doing my own paintkits in 4096.

[Jafo]

Probably should add...I did 'real planes' so hunted down suitable photos of them for the 'thumbnails'....;)

Here's the one I did....

[wombat666]

I keep P3Dv3 running as I can use all my Boeings from CS.
New paints will be more than welcome so thanks in advance.
:encouragement:

An observation: Quite ridiculous that Just Flight can manage their DC8 series to operate from FSX through to P3Dv4+ with no update costs while Captain Slack remain (mostly) mired in FSX.
I'd be happy to pay full retail for an updated version, but it would appear they don't need the $$$$.

:applause: Yes, I still fly CS 707. I generally fly the SAM 27000 livery. It's a very good aircraft with excellent systems modelling. I'd be interested in expanding my liveries. Thank you for asking.

[Aharon]

I am !!!!

I just bought Captain Sim 707 and 707C for use of FSX Deluxe with SP1 and SP2.

I am surprised there is no high quality crisp sharp repaints for BCAl British Caledonian passenger and cargo liveries for Captain Sim 707 for use of FSX.

Also, there is no crisp sharp perfect cream color for Western airline Indian Chief repaint for that plane for use of FSX.If anybody is interested in painting perfect cream color for Western airline Indian chief, please let me know so that I can send you correct color code for cream color.

Regards,

Aharon

[thunder100]

Teisco

I am our customer too

I also fly it (kind of ) IN P3DV4.5 ( Made the VC with MDLX myself, replaced the myrad of gauges with working ones- still no surfaces on outside model*)

So yes please a Western Chief 707

Thank you

* Otherwise I use the HJG outside model ( after MDLX)

[Aharon]

The trick is realistic metal shine on metallic bottom of the 707.

[expat]

Please stop! I can’t bear it I miss too much not being able to fly this one anymore after leaving FSX in 2017 for P3D4, LOL.

Given up on CS at this point updating her.

[oldmsgt]

A very historic aircraft, 58-6970, a C-137B. This was the first jet to ever fly a President of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1959. She was fondly known as "Queenie" among Special Air Missions personnel. I maintained this aircraft for over nine years as an Avionics Comm/Nav technician and supervisor. I was honored to have her as the backdrop at my retirement ceremony at Andrews AFB, MD in 1993. She would soon follow me into retirement in 1996 and now resides at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, WA.

I do spend time in the 707, 727, 737 from CS flying them in a display setting. Also the Comet, VC-10, Tu-134, 154, 144, Concorde and Dassault Mercure get some attention from time to time. (Basically if it's an extinct turbojet powered airliner I'll fly it!) Just wishing the AH/JF Caravelle was still coming to FSX but I did just get the VC-137 and E-3 expansions for the 707. Didn't know they existed until a few weeks ago! As far as skins for the 707, I'd like to see one in John Travolta's Quantas livery!

I have 103 B707 (!!!!!) skins (including the standard Captain Slack ones), both PAX, Freight and a few Military on my backup drive, not a single Wardair one to be seen.
Should add that I haven't used the Captain Slack supplied efforts very often.
What you need to take into account is the time frame, many repaints are 10+ years old (or older) and there are few really recent efforts, with repainters concentrating on newer subjects and developers.
And of course, FSX is a little passe at this point in time.
Just as a matter of interest Historic Jetliners Group have one only Wardair paint for a 1969 320C and that's only going to work on their HJG base.
I think you are pretty well SOL.
:encouragement:

Have you considered the Just Flight DC8 collection Aharon?
Massive number of first class repaints available and just about every variation of the 'Big Mac' included.

[thunder100]

Initiated by this thread (thanks Teisco ) as I never could properly move the CS Captain 707 to P3DV4.5, I now modified the old legendary_707

It has the same bitmaps as Captain 707, but as beeing very old no bumpmaps ...

On panel I still work,rest pls see and all surfaces work

That Varig is from 2004 !!!

820658206482063

As we have little other ( you can do same with HJG, but no VC ) I am really happy now

THANKS

Historic Jet Liner group skins are all old and small and fuzzy. I asked for a paint kit for them so I could update and sharpen some of the skins so they banned me.

I made my own paint kit and now redoing some of the schemes I like. If there is one you really want let me know.

[expat]

Not wishing to hijack this thread, but as it was mentioned for those like me who can't use their cherished CS 707 in P3D, the Aerosoft DC-8 is excellent and has good immersive systems similar to the CS 707.

[aspen31]

Hi all
Not to hijack the topic but do we know for sure that the Captain Sim FSX 707 does not work in P3D? I was told that the Just Flight DC-8 would not work at all in P3D V5 when in my opinion it works better than it did in earlier versions of P3D. Has some pretty acceptable repaints while not perfect, reasonably immersive systems.
I would also like to have a good functional 707 in P3D.

[Mike71]

Hi all
Not to hijack the topic but do we know for sure that the Captain Sim FSX 707 does not work in P3D? -----Not in P3D4 --

[expat]

Two big problems with the CS 707 in P3D 64 bit - like the 727 all the gauges are 32 bit (end in ".gau") so don't show up AND the anti piracy "feature" means you lose the landing gear and flight contols if you install it anywhere other than your FSX folder. I tried to merge another VC (747, aerosoft DC8) and it was a no go.

Got her in the air and moving only by using the slew function. Largely unsatisfactory experience but took this screenie at the time not long ago:

https://i.imgur.com/j77O1l5.png

[wombat666]

Just to clarify a couple of points.

'Big Mac': the stretched DC8 is a very long aircraft and the few flights I had as a passenger were 'interesting' if one was seated a way toward the rear.
(As serving members of the ADF on exchange duty we always ended up in the cheap seats!)

SOL: think about it. Has to do with being out of luck.

Captain Slack $9.00 sales: You get what you pay for.

Where their B707 flies: Originally FS2004, ported to FSX and FSX-SE, so it flies in P3Dv1 to P3Dv3, but not in v4 or v5. (32bit as opposed to 64bit sims).

British Caledonian cargo repaints??: Unless TDR can help out you are definitely SOL........:biggrin-new:

In FS terms this is ancient, an FS9 release in 2004 (IIRC) and ported to FSX around 2006 or whenever FSX was released.
I'd be first in line for a contemporary 2021 release of a B707 even at a 2021 price, but unless Captain Slack get inspired I'm not expecting anything.

[TeiscoDelRay]

I think it is a great model with many cool features and I have upgraded FSX to fly it in. We all want to newest, shiny thing and MSFS 2020 is very pretty but flying is what it is all about and, for me, the Capt Sim 707 is great fun in FSX.

For FSX I use Orbx Global and Vector and they both help with landclass details and such.

[Mike71]

I think it is a great model with many cool features ---.


Agree 110%; The 727 series is equally fine IMHO. BUT - boy, like the real 727, keep spooled up on final, don't use full flaps unless really necessary and watch the sink rates - hard to decrease if they build up on final, especially if you get slow!!!

In my case the Boeings are the reason I keep P3Dv3 operational.
It too has all the suitable ORBX additions that go with the B-707.
Thinking back to when I first purchased FS2004 both the B-707 and B-727 were my first additions, closely followed by the AH Spitfire collection.
Some 16 years ago as well.

Historic Jet Liner [...] I asked for a paint kit [...] so they banned me.

Seems HJG are quite quick on the "banned" button. It happened to me as well, I was only posting about converting their Caravelle (http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php/55148-FSX-Screenshots-Here!!?p=1254487&viewfull=1#post1254487)to FSX with MCX... and was banned with no explanation just like an ordinary DPRK hacker...

[Jafo]

RMIT Architecture [Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology] chartered a 707 back in '72 to go to England, Scotland, France and Italy as part of the Architecture course...so I have fond memories of the first jet aircraft I'd flown on. [first flight was at 2 weeks...on a DC3] ...;)

LOL!! Yes, they are very "nostaligiac" (i.e., live in the past) over there. They don't seem to want to know about FSX, let alone P3D or what can be done with these, e.g., merge VC's. They don't really do VC's. The mere suggestion of running one of their circa 17 year old FS9 models through MCX (don't think they know what MCX is) is sheer heresy. Lucky you got off with only being banned!

TeiscoTelRay,

Great and excellent repaint of Western Indian Chief livery especially you made sure the bottom had shiny metallic livery which is very important for realism.

Too bad that Western did not use cream color for 707-300 series. You are correct to use white color. Once again, many thanks for your GREAT repaint!!!!!!!

I love cream color Western livery that was seen on its fleet of Boeing 720B

Example on B720 featuring medium cream color Western livery

Thanks, I am detail obsessed and send out most of my repaints in DDS 888-8 32 bit so there is virtually no loss in texture quality.
Here are some examples of that process in an American Airlines paint I am doing:

Hate to see a man cry, but these shots have me in tears as I no longer have FSX and blasted CS can't get their act together to change the gauges to 64 bit so she works in P3Dv4 and 5 - like just about every other developer has seemed to manage. So my beloved CS 707 sits in the hangar. Boo hoo hoo!

[wombat666]

I ditched FSX long ago and P3Dv3 is my default FSX.
After all, the CS Boeings work in v3 and I'd purchased P3Dv3 in the LM series of 'upgrades'.
And I'm really appreciating that Braniff scheme, never come across it before.
:triumphant:

[stovall]

I love the 707. Wombat mentioned ditching FSX a while back. I still have it to help convert aircraft to P3D but that is it. My FSX is also P3D-3. My main sims are P3D v-4 and v-5. That means the cs 707 isn't there for me. Hopefully someone will convert the cockpit so I can fly a favorite. All the the paint schemes shown in this thread are fantastic. They make the 707 come alive again. Great work guys.

[Aharon]

And I am still on FSX Deluxe with SP1 and SP2 for almost 15 straight years with no intentions to move to P3D or MS2020 although MS2020 will happen in my pc in 2023 when the new flight sim platform becomes bug free and perfect with more additions of aircraft types plus filling Alaska with missing airports.

(sorry for off the thread comment but hey everybody is taking about retirement of FSX)

If anyone is interested I might do a full metal paint kit of sorts. This would include polished, as new, fuse, wings, tail and engines. You can overlay your color scheme on these textures. Also detailed doors, windows and such included.

Nice, I see that you did the restored version. Not sure why when they restored it they did not follow the original paint scheme with painted wings and stab so I did the original as seen in my factory rollout photo.
