FS2002 Real707 v1.0
===================================
Hi!
Photo realistic Boeing 707 panel for FS2002
Includes photos of overhead and cabin passengers.
This is my second panel. If you liked the Caravel.zip panel of the french caravelle, you will
surely enjoy this other classic, the Boeing 707.
I decided to do one because the only 707 panel uploaded for Fs2002 is from 2001, already two
years. Two years without any flightsimming fan or designer uploading a panel for this beautiful
four engine plane, the first "heavy", prior to the wide body era.
We had another excellent panel from Paul Golding, which I havebeen playing since 2001, and
from which I took a few gauges, thanks Paul!, but in the line of the caravelle panel I am going
for true photographic realistic panels, even if that means sacrifying a bit the size of some
readouts.
I really like this panel. It gives me a sense of a real cockpit. I regard Captain Sim 727 the best
panel around, and they too have small readouts compensated by a true photographic environment.
Explore the many functional switches, buttons and gauges. In overhead when puting mouse close
to switches it will tell you what it is.
Sound
The sound is from Daniel Careri, updated by Charles Fox, it is a marvellous noisy reallistic sound
of the old 707´s before the noise abatement regulations of the early 80´s.
Yoke
Contrary to most panels, the Yoke is not removable in this one.
As usual, that is my policy in making panels. I do not remove joysticks or allow for their
removal. I like realism, and the Yoke in real life is not dettachable.
It doesnt bother me, because I put the covered gauges in other places, that were otherwise used
for duplicating instruments.
I think the Yoke is part of the cockpit feeling. If it was detachable, people (including me)
would end up playing most of the time without it, like it happens with other models.
So, I gave it a thought and decided is better this way. Sorry...the Yoke stays put.
Includes nice views from original 707 cabin (REAR VIEW- NUM KEY 2), plus a left rear view of
the wing and engines (REAR LEFT VIEW-NUM KEY 1), and an exclusive and seldom seen in simming,
a lavatory...yes!! now you can pop down there when you feel tired and sort of have a face
wash and relax a bit from the stressing cockpit!! (REAR RIGHT VIEW-NUM KEY 3
Used default gauges and some others from several authors, Chris Alevritis, Paul Golding,
If I use a gauge from someone that requires mentionning please advise me so I can give you credit.
