I'd buy the following expansion models (RESULTS!)
09.04.2010 at 09:44:19
 
Upcoming 707 Captain family will deliver the 707-320B, 707-320ADV, 707-300C, VC-137C and E-3A models.

Would you like to get more expansion model variants available for the 707 family? If so what are your preferences? You can pick as many as you would buy.

Thanks, and standby for preview.

01MAY10: Poll closed. These are the poll results:


We believe we can use the results as a schedule for the Expansion models release. Most popular variations will go first.

CS Staff,
I welcome the entire lot to be included in a 707 Package; an excellent addition to my FSX.  Cool


...And, frankly on a side note, I would like you to please finish the VC's for the B-52 and make an authentic F-117 VC for your XLoad F-117A and, begin them this year, along with the 707 project(s).  Please consider doing this and of course then name your price, please?  Wink

Thank you for your posting and consideration of user requests.

I have to say I had a mature moment when CS announced the release of the 707 for FSX. This has been long awaited for and I have a feeling there are many others that feel the same way. As a former aircrat mechanic On the KC-135A/D/R/T model if you giys produce the KC-135 addon please please put the correct wing on it. Grin I hve no doubt simmers hobbists and enthousists will be talking long of this new addition. There are only two airplanes in the world the Constellation and the one plane that killed it the 707. Cant wait well done.

I had the 707 for fs9 and thought it was a great plane but was a bit disappointed that the QANTAS aircraft was too long.

QANTAS 707's were specially built short bodied models and it would be great if Captain Sim would make this variant.

Here is a quote from Wikipedia about the QANTAS 707's.

"The 707-138 was based on the -120 but had a 10 ft (3.05 m) reduction to the rear fuselage and were capable of increased range. It was a variant for Qantas and included Boeing customer number of 38 for Qantas. A total of 13 -138s were built."

I am assuming you will be making the 707 for FSX?
Can I assume it will include modeling for wing movement in turbulence and touchdown?
I still think the 707 is one beautiful airliner... the first jet I ever saw and flew in... back in the 60's....  

Thanks,

I'll be very happy to have the 707 for FSX.  I'm more into passenger variants than military, but that's just me.

Mmmm, now if you could make the KC135 that would actually refuel AI fighter jets, that would be pretty cool. Roll Eyes

Does the development include or consider a more complex and working 707 for FS9?

I would certainly buy an improved FS9 package with all civil variants,ie -120,-120B.320, etc

best

In late ’57 or early ’58, Braniff International Airways was the first American based airline to order and take delivery on the B707-100 (the smaller water-injected engines).  I remember the black smoke boiling out of the extremely LOUD JT3C engines on take-off at Dallas Love Field (KDAL).
My father was 37yrs with Braniff and he saw the growth of the airline from the Lockheed Electra (2 engine tail dragger), DC-3, DC-6, DC-7, Constellation, and finally the Jet –Age with the Lockheed Electra TurboProp and then Jets.

I think I remember, on a “Fairy Flight” about 1960 – 1962 (only Braniff employees and family were allowed to fly these asset repositioning flights) from KDAL to KMIA, I had the opportunity to sit in the right seat of a B707-100 on approach into Miami before the Co-Pilot took over.

I would VOTE for the expansion models: B707-100 or B707-227 with the Braniff El Dorado paint scheme.

Note: “The -200 series was made for Braniff who required a 'hot and high' variant to use in Latin America. Very similar to the -100 with only five examples made, the main change was the JT4A turbojets”.

I flew on a Qantas 707 from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Darwin, Australia, in November 1963 (I was 5). We were moving back to Australia after 2 1/2 years there. My father was stationed at Butterworth Air Force Base.

We arrived in Darwin to hear the new that JFK had been assassinated (I honestly don't remember that because I was too young). Cry But I do vaguely remember the flight being very rough (My Mum says that it was because it was the monsoon season around that time).

I'm really looking forward to this 707. I went and had look at the screen shots of the Legendary 707 and I know it's going to be another awesome plane from Captain Sim. I can't stand the wait! Smiley

Apologies for quoting myself but here is a bit more info about the 707-138.

John Travolta's 707 is a 138B (registered N707JT) and is the last 138 still in active service.

VH-EBA (a 707-138) was the first Boeing jet sold outside the US. It was delivered to Qantas in 1959 and eventually ended up in the UK after passing through many owners where the Qantas Founders Museum bought it . After a restoration it was flown back to Australia (using VH-XBA rego) and now sits at Longreach airport in the Australian outback alongside a 747.

PS I've made some FSX scenery of Longreach airport which includes the 707 and 747 (available from the aussiex website).

I would be most interested in the KC-135 particular the R model as the E models are being phased out by the Air Force and Air National Guard. I know if CapSim does a KC135 it iwll be right, I fly KC135 for a virtual military organization.

I'm a Captain Sim addict. I think I'll start a Captain Sim Anonymous therapy group! Grin

I'm planning to buy the whole range no matter what different model they do. I'm already saving my money so as I will have enough on my MasterCard to get them all. However. If they are released in the same way as the 767 was released. That won't be a problem.
