I made a 707 full tutorial with the help of Captain Sim.... it goes well into detail, uses detailed graphics, and is the first in-depth tutorial on YouTube.

Let me know what you think!

Very nice tutorial, I wish I could see the gauges in the pre-flight better.

Cool man! You made a HUGE job!! Lot of guys will love that ole jetliner after that. Coz i think that some pilots a bit afraid of old hand-flying technology:) Me too on the road of mastering 707 now. Done KJFJ- KLAX on VATSIM yesterday :)

And first question:
HOW DID YOU GOT NORMAL ANTIALIASING WITH DX10 ON????
i got GTX470 and no matter antialiasing on in video settings - gauges etc shown without antialiasing!!!

But if i can, i want to point out some steps, to discuss em with more experienced guys then me.

- you forget to switch bottle transfer switches during fire panel test.

- as i understand, emergency brake powered by brake accumulator. You shouldnt touch it coz it discharges it. Just check that it in left position, and no pressure applied to brakes. Am i right? Can this brake accumulator be charged from pneumatic system then it online?

- during engine start, fuel flow switches should be moved to start detent, and after engine stabilized, to idle. Is that right? What if i start it right to idle detent as shown?

- Normal takeoff should be done with 2 turbocompressors operating. You then start third inflight.

- as i understand probe heaters have limitations. Using em onground with positive temps should be avoided. turn it on before takeoff. Is that right?

- dont forget to switch window heaters. LOW - onground, HIGH - before takeoff, and all flight.

- dont forget to check and set STAB trim before takeoff!!

- dont forget to set speedbugs before takeoff. V1, VR, V2 from tables required for safe takeoff, and after takeoff maneuvers.

- set power by n1 from tables. EPRs faulty, so N1 tables helps.

- continuous ignition should be turn on before takeoff, and engine start switch (low,hight press) should be off. Is the FLT1 starter switch position - cont. ingition?

- dont forget aftertakeoff checklist. you can put gear lever to off position earlier ;) What happen if i forget to do it completely, and leave it in up position?

- DONT FORGET TO SET DME SWITCHES TO NORMAL!!! DME wont show if you miss it!! You did it inflight, but better do it on ground i think ;)

- i read that fuel heaters should be on at about 0C fuel temp. Or even onground. is that right?? also dont forget to operate fuel temp selector switch to see fuel temp in different tanks :) less fuel in tank - faster it'll cool.

- good idea to identify VORs. so you can be sure you tracking correct aid :)

- descend speeds: 0.7M down to FL280, 280 KIAS down to 10000ft, 250KIAS below 10000. i really dont master proper descend profile yet. Thats hard. And i found that i have to use SPD Brakes for descend, coz the plane want to fly. it dont want to descend on that speeds. Is that correct? How real 707 behave here? 727 with it small wings can descend reel fast, 707 - not :o

- dont forget to set speedbugs. Use critical speeds table. calculate your weight and get proper tresh speeds for flap-setting you choose to land with. one bug for vref, one bug for vref+gust, one bug for vref +gust+10 Kts . Don exceed max land weight. Approach at no less then vref+gust+10 kts, but dont get fast, or it'll fly instead of land :)

Smooth landing you got. Thanks for great job! You add a lot of respect to old jet!

Thanks for the tips, I knew there was some stuff I missed.  

Also I run a GTX275 (similar to 470) and all I didn't do anything special; I guess the anti-aliasing just works for me.

Also jet fuel doesn't freeze until around -40F, so you don't need to use it unless the icing light is on really.
