DNS = Doppler Navigation System

When you first load the 707 into FSX, open the Flight Planner and you will see that there is already one loaded (KSEA - KSFF). This plan ALWAYS loads when you load the 707. Reloading the aircraft WILL reload the KSEA - KSFF flight plan and whichever other one you had will be gone. The DNS doesn't actually use the plan itself, but the plan is a MUST HAVE for the DNS to work.

Thank you Mark,

Captain Sim,
I submitted a ticket on this issue after upgrading to V1.3 a few days ago and not finding any information in the KB or manuals. Your reply was in no way referenced to this fact. Why not?

The 2nd issue (undercarriage) was not addressed either and finished up getting that sorted after my 4th install attempt after clearing the registry, as I had been doing, but this time using CrapCleaner as well.

Your support system really needs a makeover!



  

Regards Bruce

In any case reinstall was the thing that helped, and this was what we asked you to do. Unfortunately we cannot forsee all problems which may arise on each particular computer.

And speaking of DNS, every time I run it ( it works great) and it comes time to land and I pick out a ILS approach, the localizer works great and the glideslope comes on but stays at the bottom of the scale and does not move up in relationship to the plane approaching the runway. This only happens when I have previously used the DNS. When i don't use the DNS, the glideslope indicator works fine. Does anyone have any insight into this problem. Thanks so much.
BTW. I've done a reinstall and cleaned out the registry but I still have the problem.

Have you turned the DNS OFF (Function Selector Switch) on the OH panel?

On the DNS panel on the Forward Aisle Stand, what position is the NAV Controller switch in, on the Doppler Navigation Controller?
I'm not sure if this helps, but the G/S indicator was visible after I switched it to MAN or STBY.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, on the over head panel I did turn the DNS power switch to off, and once I had my ILS dialed into to Nav 1 I turned the auto pilot from Nav to heading. And still no luck in getting the glideslope indicator to move from the bottom of the scale. Did you have a similar problem when using doppler?
I always use to auto pilot controll from shift + 5. Maybe I should take a look on the forward isle panel to make sure it's coinciding correctly?

I am able to see the Glide Slope indicator without a problem, I'm not absolutely sure that switching the NAV Controller to MAN or STBY was the key. It could have been a coincident. Switching the NAV Controller to OFF might be an even better idea.

Did you have a similar problem when using doppler?
No. It's work correctly for me.

Whether I use the A/P 2D panel (shift+5) or the A/P on the Aisle Stand in the VC, doesn't make any difference mine.

I did turn the nav controller to off and turned it off on the over head panel as well. Again the glideslope will come on but not move from the bottom of the scale.  I put in a fix ticket and the support team said they couldn't replicate the problem on their end. OH well
Maybe it has to do with the way I'm loading the 707 from the start? How do you load yours when you're starting out?

One of several ways.
1) Go to Documents\Flight Simulator X files and start FSx by double clicking on 707-300 Cold-n-Dark (KSEA) or 707-300 Cleared for takeoff (KSEA)
2) Start FSX and Load 707-300 Cold-n-Dark (KSEA) or 707-300 Cleared for takeoff (KSEA), then click Fly Now.
3) I start from the Free Flight with the 707-300 at whatever ever airport I choose and start a flight that way.
4) After flying with another aircraft, change over to the 707-300 and continue flying from there.

These are probably all the ways to start a flight. Sometimes things go wrong when I use method 4. Switching from one payware aircraft to another can cause a fatal error in FSX. Not often, but it does happen.

Hi Mark,
I finally figured this out. Maybe it's in the manual and I over looked it. When I have my ILS dialed in and I'm done with the doppler I simply switch the auto pilot from Nav to Navloc. Then I can turn it off or used to auto pilot for landing and the glideslope functions as it should. And that takes care of the glideslope issue. I'm not sure if the real 707 operated this way but it works for me. Nice to have that resolved.
