If you want to jump in and fly the 707 I think you may have purchased the wrong plane. Look at the threads by aircanada in the 767 forum. The 767 is like falling off a log compared to the 707.

Hi 70747.

There is no harm in wanting the default GPS. I add it to lots of aircraft that don't have it too. Here is how I did it for the CS707-300 -

FIRST. I backed up the panel.cfg Then I added the Window06=GPS at the bottom of the [Window Titles] like this:

[Window Titles]
Window00=Simicons
Window01=Animations Control
Window02=CS Weather Radar
Window03=Map
Window04=Autopilot
Window05=Crew Messenger
Window06=GPS

Then I added this:

[Window06]
size_mm=456,378
background_color=0,0,0
position=8
visible=0
ident=GPS_PANEL

gauge00=fs9gps!gps_500, 0,0,456,378

after [Window05] and before [VCockpit01]. SHIFT+7 opens it. ;)

Hope this helps.

Mark
