Flew my new Captainsim 707 from KIAD to KSEA. The INS in INOP, so it's VOR to VOR all the way across the country. Pretty fun, and keeps you on your toes. You can see the shadow of even some of today's 747 systems in this old plane.

Re: Captainsim 707 first flight
Good on you Mike. It is a nice looking aircraft.
At one of our latest GFI's several of us used our 707's for the flight. Manual flight all the way for navigation.

Re: Captainsim 707 first flight
I couldn't get the CIVA to work, and all my docs say it's not implemented. I'm using the FSX version with VC only (no 2D panels). Is that what you have, or are you on a different version?Christopher Dahlquist wrote:...but be sure to try out the CIVA INS.

Re: Captainsim 707 first flight
That is a nice airplane. I keep meaning to post my night landing pics into Innsbruck from a couple of weeks ago. Maybe this weekend....

Don't you mean your 'fiery crash of doom' from Innsbruck a few weeks ago?
I believe the agreement was landing at night with no navigation aids, three engines and one arm tied behind your back.
Don't tell me you wimped out.

Of course! A 2D panel over the VC. Why didn't I think of that?Christopher Dahlquist wrote: However I had to place the CIVA into my 2d menu.
