August 11, 20223 yr I'm wondering why no one develops the venerable Boieng 707. It was a great aircraft. Any idea? Intel i9 - GPU RTX 3080 - 32 gig RAM HyperX Fury DDR 4

I agree - there would be some great classic colour schemes. I suppose it is just that a limited number of developers can't do everything at once, and the modern jets are always more popular, especially with the younger simmers. A lot of 'casual' simmers want to fly the aircraft they go on holiday on. I am waiting for the B737-800 myself, in Jet2 colours of course! Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

August 11, 20223 yr I think that once all the modern jet airliners are done, or the market becomes too crowded with them, developers will turn to the vintage ones. The 707 is one of the most obvious choices, along with the 727 and DC-8. We might even be getting a VC-10 before too long - I've heard rumours. Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting. https://rationalwiki.org
August 11, 20223 yr If CaptainSim hadn't turned to the sucker-market for easy money they would have been probably the ones to reimplement their 707 and 727 into MSFS, but not likely to happen. Still fingers crossed that JustFlight will do their VC-10 🙂 ...

The point is, no one has done a 707 since FSX and I for one would also welcome such a thing. Presumably, there are not enough people who would agree with us to justify starting a project that could take a team of developers years to complete. For those that think that all there is to aircraft development is to feed a few dimensions into a program and click on create, I think that it is a bit more complicated than that.

August 11, 20223 yr Im not into airliners, but if there is one Id lie to see it would be the Vickers VC10, I think its still holds title of fastest airliner across the atlantic except concorde (OK the record was broken like 40 years later by a 747 but only because it did it with a storm force tailwind) P.S. its also beautifull Edited August 11, 20223 yr by Sceadu
August 11, 20223 yr No thanks. Next people will be asking when they'll make the wright brothers plane. Running i5-9600K @ 4.8ghz - 32GB DDR4 3200mhz - GTX 3070.

Let's hope they port that over to MSFS. Rich Boll Richard Boll Wichita, KS

Rich Boll That old CaptainSim company was great (I loved the 707 and classic 737), but the new CaptainSim don't have the capability to do cockpits etc. any more. They simply own the old models and put them out as shells after basic conversion, so I wouldn't wait for them. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).
