I think someone has made a proper MD-80. At any rate, there's one on the market already. I think Captain Sim ought to be thinking about plugging the huge gap where a classic 747 would fit, but they would have to get the INS issue straightened out. The DC-3 was a hugely significant aircraft, and some are still flying. Captain Sim could really capture the character of this airplane, and, again, there's not one on the market for FSX that I know of.

It's hard to get the INS issue sorted out if the developers never get back to them.
It's very sad and I often wonder if another company just went ahead and did it regardless of getting permission. Or if they did get permission, why can't Captain Sim get permission too? Could it be that the developer of CIVA-INS is picky about who gets to make it for their VC. Undecided

If picky means the another company 747 and not the Captain Sim 707, then I don't know what picky means. In any case, I have not tried to add the CIVA into the 707, so I don't know how hard it is. As I understand it, the 3D object is a dummy, and you a use pop-up window. I remember using the CIVA a long time ago with the late lamented RFP 747 and it was frustrating with lots of gotchas, as I recall, but did work well once I had it figured out. It is a very intimidating piece of kit. I'll be sticking with Doppler as soon as I figure out how to make it work (oh, please let there be no "issues!") Speaking of which, I got weird smoke -- see the 707 section.

The CIVA-INS is already there for the 707. In the FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B707-300\panel folder, you will see a CIVA_panel.cfg in there. Just rename the current panel.cfg (i.e. panel_BAK.cfg), then rename the CIVA_panel.cfg to panel.cfg and you're ready to go. It's only a single INS unit, but there is help in the 707 Captain forum on how to add 2 INS units.

CIVA INS is fun, but it takes a lot of work, unless you get the PlanConverter.v0.4.2.zip. PlanConverter helps convert FSX plans into INS plans with a text file that tells you when to load each separate ADEU "card" into the INS. It really does help.

Hi,
I really agree, that INS is fun. In fact, I find it easier to use than FMC. And there are no missing T/D issues with it Wink
I always type in manually all the coordinates, as I think it is part of the "atmosphere and immersion" when flying an old aircraft like the 707, DC8 or VC10 to do some manual work as well.

If CS would make a 741/742, I would be fine with pop-up windows like in the 707, leaving the ones in the VC for display. Same of course with the up-coming Lockheed Tristar panels.

BR
Anders

ok, as we have the C130 an Electra L188 would be very nice.

most avionics and PP must be closed or the same.

747-100 and -200 seems to me to be the obvious choice, but given Captain Sim threw a curve ball with the L-1011, the DC-10 may still be on cards too.

Seems to me the logical choice would be the 777X, it is a 787 cockpit and a new 777 body. So CS would not have to make a 787 like someone else is, just the update the cockpit, and the new tech wing for the 777. Grin

767-400. NOBODY has attempted it. They said they were going to before then completely dropped it. It's a mix of 777 and 767 so it shouldn't take much time
