    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 !!!

    However, I do not understand BIG MAC comment????

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Not in P3D4 --

    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:

    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........

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Seems HJG are quite quick on the "banned" button. It happened to me as well, I was only posting about converting their Caravelle to FSX with MCX... and was banned with no explanation just like an ordinary DPRK hacker...

    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!

    Screenshots of my first maiden Captain Sim 707 flight have been published in the FSX Screenshot subform of SOH forums.

    Enjoy!!

    By request, Western Airlines. All textures are 32 bit to preserve sharpness and color. Get it here at Sim-Outhouse file library. Look in "FSX Civilian jet skins library"

    TeiscoTelRay,

    Great and excel
    lent 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 co
    lor 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





    I have that cream co
    lor repaint of Western livery for HJG 720B model base.

    Regards,

    Aharon

    Looking really good and a very heartfelt 'Thank You' for serving up some modern standard HD skins.
    Love these Classic repaints, much classier than the present day cartoon efforts.

    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:
