	Hi TheFinn Again good work on the pickups. I notice they have put an extra (3rd)VHF blade antenna on the roof just in front of the vertical stabiliser. B707's generally only had 2 VHF systems fitted with #1 VHF antenna on top of the fuselage and #2 underneath (#2 antenna was commonly painted with high visibility candy stripes to prevent ground staff walking into them whilst ducking under the fuselage and also to prevent low ground equipment hitting them when in use ) Boeing introduced the #3 VHF system as standard on their 747's along with the trailing wingtip HF probe antennas. Funny they got the above mentioned stuff right on their Legendary 707 version ? Regards Felks

	Nice attention to detail felks! I'll add a ticket for this. This is a picture of N885PA, and it indeed doesnt have this 3rd antenna: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Pan-American-World/Boeing-707-321B/0463652/L/ Quote: Funny they got the above mentioned stuff right on their Legendary 707 version ? Yeah, but the new 707 has lots of features the old one didnt had. And if we do all our best to report such things, we will have a really great plane in the end! Just hope that Captain Sim continues its good work on the 707!

	Anybody ever say what the "LH Bottle inactive" indicator was indicating and why it is on sometimes and not at others? Dave

	Yes. LOU said it has something to do with starting the 707 without External Power or Air. In real life, you get one shot at starting engine #3, then it is empty and the light comes ON. It remains ON until the bottle is replaced. If you reload the CS 707, the light goes out. In the CS 707 you can continually start engine #3 regardless of the bottle being empty or not. It would be nice if.... Mark

	Thanks for the info. I was in fact using engine 3 with out ground power/air. It is strange that CS did not provide an APU on the bird. At least one 707 manual I have found shows APU controls on the FE console. Dave

At least one 707 manual I have found shows APU controls on the FE console. Dave That question of adding an APU to the 707 has been thrown around the forum several times. If you do a search on it in the 707 forum, you will find out why there isn't an APU. I pretty sure it is because many of the original 707's didn't have them installed. Here is a quote regarding the APU on the 707: dmb201 wrote on Jun 18^th, 2011 at 3:58am: the reason there is no apu on the 707 is that they weren't in commercial use yet military yes but civilian no because they were to big at the time.

	The long and the short of it is... In the era of this plane it did NOT have an - APU, GPS, INS, VCR, Seat back movie, etc.! It is what it is - an old school plane! � Lou
