Do we have a time frame on this, this is my favorite aircraft ever and the 2004 version was great, but I do not have 2004 installed anymore after I got FSX. I know 727 Captain is out when can we expect 707 Captain for FSX!?

If everythig goes well most likely it's going to be this year.  

Great, I can hardly wait!  :)

Great, a 707!!
now hope everything goes well so it'll be here this year!!

Sounds brilliant! My favourite producers making my favourite aircraft.

I'll start working out my budget now so I can pick it up when released.

I would have bought the current 707 if I hadn't upgraded recently to FSX.  I just can't justify any more payware for FS9 going forward.

Of course now I must get another throttle quad module to handle the 4th engine.  8-)

I will also be glad having a FSX 707

Yes ! Great new !

This is my wich list :

Boeing 737 (100/200)
Boeing 767 (200ER)
Boeing 737 (300 to 500)
And Boeing 747 (100/200/300)

:)

Haven't some of those been made already though?

yes, but without the level of details of Captain SIM !

for CS,

Any idea for a release date for the 707 FSX?

@ Zakk
I don't think you can expect a more detailed answer, especially with this section in the Forum Rules:

5. Please DO NOT ask us to provide release dates, features lists, previews, progress reports or any other info on our products in development.
We at CS work according to our internal development schedule that depends on quite a number of CS internal and general market conditions.
a. We release all products as soon as they are ready to be released.
b. We post all product features, release plans, announces, progress reports and any other info at www.captainsim.com as soon as they are ready to be posted.

Grtz,

Lars

This is probably the best news I heard in some time. Just a pity I don't have FSX. In any case, when I do get it (only in several years), I know there will be a 707.

There is going to be a 707 for FSX?  Wow.  I can be Dean Martin in Airport.  I would really enjoy that.

I wonder whether this 707 is still gonna be released before the end of the year. Contrary to what I said previously, I have FSX and it run well enough for me. Can't wait to fly a good 707 again!

I hope they will continue making classic aircraft and will make their next one a Boeing 737-100/200.

Great with the 707, i really hope they make an cargo version similair to the 727!
A B737-200 with Gravel kit a'la north canada would be awesome!!!!

Considering the latest works of CS, I believe we will be in for a real treat with the 707. Considering that with CS products you don't just get a VC and good model; with the exception of the B52, you get the whole darn airplane. Even with other good competitors out there, this very fact keeps CS tops in my books.

I too would like to see the 737-200 aircraft as none exist to the level of CS or for FSX. Since the early 737's share massive commonality with the 707 and 727 series, it seems a no-brainer to include it in the series much like the move from the 757 to the 767. Should one become available, I'll be looking to ply the virtual sky's in a CP Air variant.

Hi CS and fellow simmers

Whats the status on the 707? i'm really eager to fly that plane again after a hold up since i've got rid of  fs9 in 2006.
i've had serious thoughts of reinstallin fs9 just to get the 707 back up into the sky again.
Will there be as with the 727 a Pack with the passenger version and a cargo version or all in one pack?
have a nice day everyone

mikael

Hello
Just wondering the status on the FSX 707? And will there be pax/cargo in one pack or two different packs?

The 707 Captain development is going well (slow but well).

First we'll release the 707-300 (ADV and B variants). The 707 is going to be a Pro Line product, so we can excpect advanced functionality and hardcore features like weather radar, etc.
We are planning an extensive preview in April.

The -300C, VC-137C and E-3A will be released as Expansion models.

Sounds good.  Looking forward to it.

Dave

It sure sounds like another one to add to my list of "I gotta have it". ;)

Mark

Also looking forward to it... another Boeing classic by CS  :D

Thanks :)

Any chances for an E-8C model?

I'm very excited! Finally, a very highly-detailed 707 for FSX!

Will the 707 come with a 2d cockpit?  

We think the 2D cockpit concept sounds a bit outdated, as compared to the level of details, quality, realism, flexibility and functionlality we provide in VC.

But we'll add some auxiliary 2D panels like radio, radar, etc for convenience.

It sounds like it will be the same as it is for the 727's.

COOL! ;D

Back in the late 70's, early 80's I often flew on the CC-137, usually from Namao, AB to Trenton, ON.

It would be great if the 347C variant were included

I work on E-8C's (707-300C) everyday, although I'm moving on to B-52H models soon. Gonna miss my old girl flying around every day, but I am glad you guys are doing the 707 Captain. At least I can fly her in the sim when she's done.

Thanks,

Gary

This is sounding better and better.  I can't wait.

It would be nice if you could make a configurator for the cs 707 (when it gets released) in which I can choice if I want to start in cold & dark status or other things like this and I'm missing the sound before an announcement came so it would be nice if you would integrate this sound.

But the best what you could do, is if you correct the reaction to the air pressure. I can open the doors in 30.000 Feets and nothing happens. It would be really cool if you program an Animation for the drop down of the Oxygenmasks in the cabin if there is a pressure drop in the cabin (I know it's very difficult) but it would do me fine, if you only corrrect the reactions of the plane if the Airpressure is falling. But what I think is makeablee is the freezing of the windows of the windows, if the window heaters are deactivated. And I'm sure that there are lots of Flightsimmers who have the same oppinion like me nad want this too.
And it would be very nice if you make active the cabin signs for smoking and fasten seatbelts, with this I mean when in the cockpit the fasten seatbelts are switched to on then the fasten seatbelt sign in the cabin should be litting.

Yours sincerly

Anybody having any idea of wich will be released first, BUFF VC or the 707?
I agree on an type of ACE configurator with options where you can choose only economy seats or VIP interior or business class/econ setup as on the fs9 model.

Any chance that CS will give a update on the status of the 707?

                                JeffG

Please stay tuned.

Thank you for the reply,will be standing by.

This is just a follow up as I found a great old book called Boeing 707 by Martin Caidin published in 1959. The book is a paperback and if you can find one buy it as this is a great read.

Hi CS,
a little question: you've saied in your first post in here that the 707 is going to be released in 2009 but now it's already 2010. so you already delayed, but how close are you to release? (yes i've read you post above!) i'm just wondering because many other developers release their product a few month after the first deadline and now it is a few month after your deadline which is showen on the first page. and you've never mentioned anything about the delay! so how good is the development really going on? are you already in the beta-phase?
as we can see in your weatherradar preview the 707 can fly already and it seems like most of the work is done, so i'm wondering why there isn't my most loved announcement (i'm sure you know what i mean^^)

and a question about your aircraft:
i don't know the real 707, so does it have an autopilot? and if yes, how advanced is it? and am i right when i think that it is similar as the 727 ones?
and is it tested if the AP can hold the aircraft in the attitude it's supposed to be? (not as in the 757 where it suddenly starts to bank very strong even if i got the update to the newest version where it should have been fixed)
and how is it behaving when i use increased simulation rate?

and one last question: what about the price of the 707? is it going to cost 40€ or 50 or even only 30? ;)

thanks for your answer in advice!
regards
Emi

The 707 development is going well. It's at the beta stage. If everything will go as planned we hope to release it in the end of July.  

As for the pricing and features list please standby for announcements.

That news is a nice 4th of July weekend present!  I'm flying the 727 now to get in practice with antique aircraft :-)

Great news Captain Sim! I shall keep my fingers crossed that all goes well. I'm really looking forward to the release of the 707.

Mark

Great news!!! 8-)

just a small question:

will the 707X feature sheared cockpit ?

Sounds amazing,can we also expect transparent windows?

mike1992 wrote on Jul 3^rd, 2010 at 4:43pm:

Yes

Which Airlines will be included for the 707?

Will/or has have the CS 707 the original sounds of the B707 or only filtered sounds?

The 707 Captain will have authentic Boeing 707 engines and cockpit sounds.

Will the 707 have working overwing emergency exits, starboard service doors and hat-rack exits (C-Versions)?

I think of the door control panal a la 727 or 757

Thanks

Thank you for interest.

I'm sure it will have an APU like the real Boeing 707 it will be a High Quality product, but I'm sure that we have to wait a looong tim til its release. I hope that it will remunerate to wait for this (great) Addon.
