BOEING 707-320 DUAL PANEL circa 1966 version 2.0

707 panel

Now Compatible with FS2002!

Important

A minimum resolution of 1024 x 768 is recommended to use this panel. This panel is configured to be used with a true FS2000 or FS2002 flight model - if used "as is" with an FS98 flight model, the engine instruments will not work correctly.

This version 2.0 of the panel is now compatible with FS2002, however it does not use any special FS2002 features. The panel is not compatible with Flight Simulator 98.

It is recommended that NUM LOCK should be turned off while using this panel.

Dual Panel - Hot Panel Switching

The panel package includes both Captain's and First Officer's panels. The "WHEEL WELL FIRE" warning lights, to the right of the "1 2 3 4" fire handles which are the distinguishing characteristic of a 707 cockpit, are actually hot buttons. Click these to switch between Captain and First Officer panels.

Hot Button Switching

DO NOT use SHIFT + number keys to change between Captain and First Officer panels - use the Hot Buttons Only.

Troubleshooting

LEFT, RIGHT = 434 US gallons
LEFT AUX, RIGHT AUX = 6307 US gallons
CENTRE = 7722 US gallons

Note the inverted MAIN/AUX fuel capacities! These are the result of a bug in FS2000, which causes AUX tanks to empty before MAIN tanks. The MAIN fuel gauges will display the contents of whichever tank is the larger. They will work correctly on panels with conventional FS fuel tank capacities, but the emptying sequencing will be wrong.

Acknowledgements

I would like thank Roy Chaffin of RCS Panels for a considerable degree of support concerned with learning the techniques required for the construction of this panel, as well as the dual panel idea. I would also like to thank Paul Golding for the panel floodlighting idea and help on FS2002 panel lighting, Robert H Clark for help on programming sounds in gauges, and Arne Bartels for telling me how to make the autopilot FS2002-compatible. Bob Moore helped me by supplying diagrams of the 707 cockpit, plus V-speed tables.

Hope you enjoy this panel!
