The Coolant System, Pressurization, DME 2 and the Standby Altimeter really are like must have and the Oxygen should get fixed if the Pressurization works. Since the last bump was on 2011 giving it another shot here to see if we get some news on the matter.

They seem to be minor details, but I never worked with Gauge programing so... yeah minor here can be huge there.

Also giving an optional activation/deactivation for the GPWS and some other aural warnings in the cockpit would be cool to have it in.

I fly the 707 every day, I don't mind the bugs that much, but you know, would be awesome to have them fixed some time in the future for a complete experience and immersion into realops.

Should we open tickets for this or?

+1 the bugs will sure not make me stop flying this beautiful payware, the quality is amazing and those are only details, good to know they are being looked at.

Cheers.

I guess she is forgotten? Any news on fixes?

I would also like to see (an) airstair(s) added for people to actually be able to get into the plane

What I also found is that whenever I go into an FS menu like map view, fuel load, graphics,... anything really, almost all switches have gone back to the default position.

Has anyone ever had this? I have had it forever using different installers, FSX installs, heck even different computers. Hugely ennoying. But it still is one of my favourites.

Good evening,

@hilfy: Have you tried to activate nacelle anti-icing? Mybe that helps. Wing Anti-Icing should also always on in-fligth.

Nothing from the last problems appears with my 707. Only the bug with the right Altimeter interferece a bit (the 10K-Needle does not move).

When it comes to accessing the menu while flying the 707, I try very hard to get everything done straight after I load it into FSX so it doesn't matter that it turns everything off when I return.

Restarting the engines mid flight is NOT my idea of fun! I always lose too much altitude.

Refueling doors will not open when airborne.

What I also noticed just recently;

1 Select ground power as you should (switch on EXT, close breaker)
2 Open the engine generator breaker switches

=> No power??

Makes no sense to me :p

The 707 & 727 electrical panel work pretty much the same way.


In this picture I opened the GEN BREAKERS to show how it SHOULD look.

You cannot have two types of electrical power at the same time.
*You have engine driven generators
*External power
*APU if equipped

Only one of these sources at a time will work.

The way it should work is lets say you have just pulled into the gate and the engines are still running, the ground power is plugged in. The F/E selects external on the meters selector switch. If the voltage and frequency are within limits the F/E then selects ON by closing the external selector switch. As the switch is moved to the close or ON position the first thing that happens is a signal is sent to trip the MGR (main generator relay) on the F/E panel which is labeled GEN BREAKER. It is the middle switch on the electrical panel. This trip must happen before the external power relay closes to prevent multiple power sources. The same is true in reverse, if external power is on and the engine is started, the closing of the GEN BREAKER will first trip the external off so as to avoid two sources at the same time. The engine driven generators are considered the same power source since they go through the BUS TIE BREAKERS which provide sync bus protection.

Now the rub... this is not modeled correctly in the 707 or 727 in that the GEN BREAKERS do not illuminate when power is changed over. This does not seem to affect power to the plane, but is not correct.
