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


...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?  

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. 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 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,

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

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). :'( 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!

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.

A 707-100 please!! I want to be able to fly a 707-138 for Qantas

Hello!

This is great news Captainsim.  
On behafe of Virtual NATO this will mean our fully convertion to FSX.
The E-3A and Captainsim has and will be the flagship of our fleet.  Now when we see the FSX model comes in the horizon I belive last part of our users finaly can convert to FSX.
Beside the E-3A we also use TCA (707-300C) and KC-135 in the 707 family. And then ofcorse several other frames.

In the virtual world and our friends and partners we have vRAF, vFAF, vItAF, SimAF and vUSAF also would look realy forard to this release, Beside vRAF all the others using KC-135 and other 707 vartiants together with E-3.

Thanks Captainsim!   You made a very happy day for alot of virtual Air Forces with this news!


Best Regards
Espen Furfjord

Yes, you are quite right about the 707-320's.

But the 707-138 was a custom built short bodied aircraft for Qantas. And I want one  .

Here is a nice link to an article about the 707 family which makes interesting reading:

I'll buy a KC-135.
Just name your price!

Might not be a bad idea

Why in blazes would you guys leave out the KC-135? For that matter you have neglected to include every single variant that was cited in the poll.

I just don't get it???

I will definitly buy.  Just wondering if there will be built-in airstairs like the 727 captain?

The Boeing 707 never had installed airstairs, so to add them would be extremely un prototypical. The feature was added to the 727 and 737 because these aircraft were marketed to operate out of airports with limited facilities.

I do hope though that Captain Sim puts all the path and night lighting on all those fuse buses and panels. It would definitely add to the night ambiance of the cockpit. These things have a lot of lights in their cockpits and I hope C.S. captures them all. You folks are the best in my books!

Cheers,
Thad

OK Mark,
I stand corrected, it was a bit confusing as to how the expansion info was presented.

Glad to hear there will be many more models to come. Presumably, they will all be FSX natives?

Sure would like to see the Captain do a DC-8 to go along with all those 707s.

BR's,
mal

Will any of the models of the captain sim Boeing 707  include a Virtual Cabin?

I'm also good with it, if only one model includes a virtual cabin or a part of the virtual cabin like the CS767,CS757 and the CS727.

Markoz wrote on Jun 7^th, 2010, 2:23am:


yeah, I know that but I mean a Virtual passenger Cabin

I'm really looking forward for the Pan Am and Olympic Airlines Texture.

I hope the CS707 going to be released in about 2-3 months! Like the other 737NGX, it would be then the summer of the best Addons with the A320X from Aerosoft and my favourite Aircraft 707!

That's not quite what I expected, Captain Sim. But it doesn't matter. I still plan on buying all of them!

Having had time to think about the way you have chosen to go about the delivery of the 707 and the Expansions, I think it's a great idea. I just happen to be one of those who loves the idea of having the whole cabin behind me. Because I'll have to learn the differences of how to fly the 707 compared to the more modern 757 and 767, I probably wouldn't be able to wander back through the virtual cabin for a while anyway.

I'm definitely one of those.  I love to have the whole aircraft detailed out and no one can do that like Captain Sim.

I believe John Travolta has a 707.  It would be fun to have a model of his private aircraft.
"He had his classic gas-guzzling (old technology low-bypass jet engines) 707 restored in the livery of Quantas from the time of this airplane's heyday."

I did John Travolta's "Jett Clipper Ella" for the FS9 version.  I can see it being compatable with the FSX one.  If not I can just adapt it to suit.

Dave

Thank you

ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol But definatly the KC-135 and E-6 would be cool (they are both stationed at Tinker AFB by my house )

I assume the results of this poll mean that a KC135 tanker will be the next version of the 707 to be developed? If that is the case, is this something that we are likely to see in the near future, or is it on the back burner for the moment?

The 707-700 basically a re-engined 707-300 but with much bigger and much more efficient CFM-56 engines and some other modifications. As for your second question, I am sure down the road, captain sim will make one.
I for one would like to see the E-6 and the 707-700 being made. I had the priveledge of working with the E-6. I sure do miss them!

Almost a year bump here, but yeah, I am loving the 707 Captain, such a quality piece of work, incredible, but I would also like to toss my opinion on this old voting thread, I would love to see the Boeing 707-420, the stretched version of the 707 with Rolls-Royce Conway 508 turbofans.
