Even before I bought the CS 707 I was a huge 707 fan. I grew up in Seattle in the 60's and remember driving down Interstate 5 and seeing all the early Boeing prototype down on Boeing Field. Boeing had the 707, 727, 737 and later the 747 all lined up in front of a hangar facing the freeway, all in their yellow and brown prototype colors. The 747 was done in white with red trim. I became a huge Boeing fan.

Did they get the old-style navigation lined out, where it would follow a flight plan, and switch back and forth on the legs automatically? In other words, I flew her for awhile when she was brand new, and I seem to remember some difficulties. I am less interested in the CIVA than in that original, unique autopilot method. (I kind of burned out on CIVA in Ready for Pushback 747.)

After I had problems with the Doppler navigation, I switched to the CIVA INS. That was back at v1.0/1.1! By v1.3, the Doppler Navigation is much better. It still turns left/right when you are changing the heading of the next Leg, but it never goes uncontrollable (at least not for me). INS is better (IMO), but the Doppler Navigation is a lot of fun when flying overseas (well not just overseas, everywhere). We cheat because we have a map, and I went a step further by adding the default GPS 500 to it. Cheesy Grin

I thought the 737 was your favorite?  Grin That's okay, I have more than one favorite CS airplane.

Yeah. The 707, 737 are my two favourites with the 767 not very far behind. If the 737 was a touch better than it is, like the PDCS working correctly and actually controlling the EPR, then it would probably be #1, but at the moment, the 707 and 737 are equally #1. Cheesy

Hi All,

Yes highly recommended!

A truly vintage simulation. With steam gauges, VOR navigation, Doppler navigation and if you want to download the freeware Civa INS Carousel, then INS as well.

The aircraft graphical quality is superb.

The 707 is a joy to fly and puts you back in the era of early jet transportation.

Now with the addition of full support from the Multi Crew Experience guys, we have a fully crewed three man flight deck. Fly with Radar Contact v4 and the MCE first officer (or third officer if you like) can work all the ATC for you as well as perform his/her own duties)Wink


Best Regards
David
