Famous Flyer Boeing 707 as Famous Flyer 10!

[Mets737 220]

Just announced in the MSFS Dev Stream! 

Aeroplane Heaven & Microsoft will be releasing the Boeing 707-320C as Famous Flyer 10 on July 2, 2024!

Hmmmm.  Perhaps some KC135 Mods in our future?  One can dream LoL!

As I've posted elsewhere, based on AH's track record thus far in regard to accuracy and amount of bugs, I am assuming that this will be a waste of money. Maybe I'll be surprised, but I doubt it. Cartoony textures, extremely glaring bugs, and overarching inaccuracies in aircraft depiction and operation seem to be their calling cards in MSFS. Oh and an unwillingness to properly fix bugs, if they fix them at all.

...but... but... it's done by AH? Really? Really really? Thats... I don't know how to say politely...

Oh dear. That is disappointing.

Asobo has worked with AH before. They made the DC-3, maybe other aircraft, that came with the 40th anniversary update

Maybe they should use CaptionSim to do this project!

I'll be optimistic by saying maybe it will be better than I think.

But surely it won't have an INS in it.  That would be too cool for school.  Probably VOR/NDB + GPS options.

Aeroplane Heaven is better than Captain Sim

wow!! my dream come true 707 baby!!

I like their DC-3, and I love 707s....hopefully this is decent and provides a good canvas for lots of classic liveries (including “Trans American” from Airplane!) 🙂

I pass. They made the long 300 version 😞

707-120   7,500 feet to land

707-320B 10,700 feet to land

BAE 146-200 3,900 feet to land

I would have bought the 707-120.

Others prefer very long flights between major airports. I don't have patience.
