Probably both your joystick and (USB?) keyboard had stopped working.

Nope. Both were working fine at the time. If I moved the joystick throttle, the throttle levers in the 707 moved up with it. I could still pan view too. So the joystick was working fine. I could still mouse over and activate buttons with the mouse, so I assume it was working correctly too (it certainly seemed to be).

Another interesting thing on my last flight (an INS test). When I turned the A/P OFF, the Pitch Trim Wheels on the A/P (2D and VC) started spinning and wouldn't stop! ?Nothing I did would stop them. I turned the A/P ON and OFF several times, but they still kept spinning. I have reinstalled the 707 several times, but it keeps doing weird things. I can at least fly the 707 IF it doesn't start rolling when I start it. All the flights I've done, except for the first CIVA INS test (mentioned in my OP), have worked really well.

Not to worry. I'll keep on trying. See if I can figure out what might be going on. I am suspicious about my saved default flight, which might have been done after using a CS plane and so it would include all that extra stuff, under [Captain Sim], in the saved file. I recreated a new default flight last night (well at about 5am this morning) but I have not tried another flight in the 707 since then. I'll report back once I have.
