Ever since the release of MSFS, I was excited for the 707, and 727. The FSS 727 is more than I could ever hope for, with the engineer/pilot monitoring duties able to be automated via phone, and the flight characteristics being fantastic. The 707 on the other hand, couldn't be worse. It has a 90% inop cockpit, the flight characteristics are subpar, and the textures leave a lot to be desired. I get that the 727 is a more expensive addon, but if microsoft partnered with AH to put this out and put their name to it, then it should at the VERY LEAST be on par with the default asobo aircraft, which it isn't as of yet

While I would have gladly paid $100+ for a PDMG or Captain Sim quality 707, for 16 bucks I actually loved it. I love the FE panel. Opening the IFR map kicks off the GPS FMS autopilot and the Xbox controller can't press the AP cut out alert light. Hoping for better sounds eventually but I have waited 4 years for a MSFS 707 so I’m enjoying it.

The 707 is ok to mess around in and yes there is a lot to do to get it up to least of which is a lack of textures and an aircraft that old should reflect the older airlines no longer with us for the sake of history.

Very exciting stuff! I wonder about the FWB A380?

Please tell me they didn’t go out of their way to omit tower and flyby view in this one ??

Is there a listing of all the airports in the new game?

I have deleted mine, the 707. It is hideous.
