6297j Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Don't forget CaptainSim always have an 'everything-at-9.99' sale once or twice a year. You might have to wait a while for the next one though \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Lampard Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 60bucks Definetly waiting til XMAS, seeing as i'm really wanting to get the PMD737 which hopefully will be soon, and the Aerosoft DA20. And hopefully the FSS or PCaviator will be at the newcastle airshow so i can pick up a few things maybe the J41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson.S Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 60bucks Definetly waiting til XMAS, seeing as i'm really wanting to get the PMD737 which hopefully will be soon, and the Aerosoft DA20. Sadly it's $85 Aussie! Don't forget exchange rates just be thankful that the dollar is this strong! A definite buy for me It seems that all the exciting big things come out at in quick succession, far quicker then my wallet can handle! PMDG 737, CS 707, and AS A320 seems to be the order of things for me! I wonder how far the IRIS BAE-146 is away...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Kae Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 100% buy now for me too, their original 707 was THAT good, one of my most flown planes ever apart from my QoTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 .....I better keep that amount of money reserved for FTX sceneries. At FL280 I won't see the details.............. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson.S Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 The base pack only includes the 300 series at the moment, hopefully there's a 100 series in there somewhere as-well, those were the only two types of 707's that Qantas flew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennyson Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I took a look last night and was gonna bite the bullet, but, for the first time I thought 85 bucks is too much for an aircraft I'll hardly fly. I also think my money will be spent elsewhere in the next few weeks anyway... Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Kae Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 Oh same here, my money will be spent on other stuff as well, certain items being released soon But this is just on top of all those other things, 707 out this quick, legend status of the FS9 version.. yeah, must have for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CathyH Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I have just bought it and only taken it for one short flight. VC is first rate. The autopilot is the standard 1954 version found on the very early jets and needs a little getting used to. As this is a Jurassic Jet, the takeoff roll is long (early jet engines took some time to develop full power) there is no autothrottle, so overspeed can be a concern. I use half flap for takeoff with V2 around 130 knots. There will be other variants, this is just the base pack. Only one livery, Pan Am, who were the rollout customer. A VC (VIP Air Force One) version is planned. I am hoping they may consider doing the Douglas DC-8, the main competitor of the 707, and perhaps also the Convair 880/990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyxx Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Aerosoft Air Bus PMDG 737 800 But this does fill another roll, a "banger" jet, old school, I got some new head phones with build in sound card, USB digital and there amazing and now I have all my CS VC sounds back, so I am thinking about this 707, the 2048 VC sounds great just wish i could see the damn thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyH Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I am enjoying it, there are several expansions planned. 300C, VC-137 (the first Jet AF1), and EC3AÂ No timeline on these, just "coming soon" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felks Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hi All Looking forward to Qantas paint release. Exterior shows HF trailing probe antennas on wingtips which is not normal for non military 707's. Normally 300 series had one forward facing HF probe on top of tailfin.
