Bruce, the 707 autopilot was a pretty good autopilot. Remember, this was a non boosted flight control plane. The autopilot did a great job in flying and was not bad in heading or manual. The NAV selection all the way to the left on the selector hooked you up to the doppler. A full ILS was nothing like the glass planes, but it did a good enough job to get you close to the ground for CAT-I and later CAT-II - that was it!

You should get this plane as it is a great flying plane and you can indeed fly shorter legs as we did in the real plane. KJFK to KPIT, or KCMH were standard. Most of the time it was done in a -131B which was a rocket ship, but the -300B would do just about anything. Oh course, long haul flights are what this plane was made for.

Bummer that you won't be east for the AVSIM deal.  :(

Colvale, I also did some nav stuff in this forum for the 727. Both planes were pretty much the same with VOR to VOR flying.
