Thanks, Andi, I agree with you, the 707 was a superb-looking aircraft. Move this to modern times, I think the A340 is an equally good-looking bird 🙂

Really cool shots, my friend !!

Many thanks for commenting, Ryan, Jean Marc, Calum and Gerold!

How did you find it - or got it working in MSFS?

Gerold, you can get this plane on the MSFS Marketplace

P_7878, Peter and Gerold, many thanks for your kind comments!

[Bernd: Question, On the PC version, are you able to make this airplane follow a GPS Flight Plan ...? I am setting the Autopilot Modes to NAV and ensuring "GPS" indication on the Garmin unit, but, on my Xbox, I cannot make it follow the flight plan, due to some reason...maybe I am missing something else...]

Sorry, P_7878, as I changed my course a couple of times, I flew this route by hand, so I have not yet tested, whether the plane follows a GPS flight plan. On the other hand, I have seen a (German) YT video, where it did follow a GPF flight plan.

In the past 3 weeks we have visited The Zambian border at Kazungula, the Okavango delta (a bit north of Maun), Windhoek, Walvis Bay and finally Cape Town. So... thanks for the comparison and the memories!

What a fantastic trip, Gerold. I have been to this wonderful area three times and for sure it is on my bucket list again. Being in the Namib desert with nothing but nature around you and listening to the absolute silence at night is a unique experience and pure magic. 🙂 

Magnificient shots, PM. Especially your landing shots always look special !

Great trip and an interesting story, as always P_7878 !

Thank you very much, P_7878, PM, Will and Andy !!

Ahhh! Plywood! Is there nothing it can't do?

😉 Wasn't also the famous Mosquito made out of this stuff?

Terrific screenies, Will !!

Very nice area, you explore, Andi !

Thanks for viewing

Thanks a lot, PM, Will, Andi and P_7878 !

Cool shots, Andi !!

Cool shots again of the 707, P_7878! I hope that we also get the older LH livery for this bird 😉

If I could get just one single more realistic repaint, any livery would do, I'd use it a lot more.

Thanks, Andy. When you head over to flightsim.to, you'll find several nice liveries for the 707.

Many thanks for your kind comments, John, PM and Will !!

Your private yacht sounds amazing, especially with the beautiful backdrop of Desolation Sound. I recently took a trip to Abu Dhabi and rented a yacht for the Formula 1 weekend. The vibes were incredible! Watching the race from the water while enjoying the sun was a blast.

Thanks for commenting. How did you find this post from March of this year? 🙂

Watching F 1 from a yacht sure is a blast. Next time you should try that in Monaco, it's much more intense. Problem is, you have to book at least five years in advance. 

Also Calum, many thanks!

Ok, I know, what we all think about this 707 from AH. But I had the pleasure of having flown in this iconic plane in the mid-1980s in Asia and Africa, so I am willing to forgive AH a lot, just to be able to fly this icon now in MSFS.

And yes, occasionally she smokes, unfortunately not for long. In this respect Captain Sim did a better job in FSX

I adapted the color of the panel (darker) and changed the strange radar image

Above the Okavango Delta

Approaching Maun, the major hub to all flights into the delta

And now we turn west towards Windhoek and the Atlantic coast

Windhoek is below our plane. Many of the buildings and streets are still in German

Approaching Walvis Bay. Look at those enormous dunes. Our 707 flies at 12,000 feet, but when you are at sea level, traveling in a Land Rover, they are out of this world

Approaching famous Robben Island, Nelson Mandela was incarcerated here from 1964 to 1982

I decide to do a bit of a sight-seeing trip in Cape Town

This includes Table Mountain

Approaching Cape Town Intern.

Those flaps look like barn doors

Thanks for viewing

Excellent selection of planes, Andy. The good ole 727 really looks its age in that livery. I also like the British and US paint scheme on the Fw190 😉 

Many thanks for your comments Andy, Ryan, and Calum !!

Cool shots of a great holiday destination, Andi !!

Cool livery, nice plane and great shots, P_7878 !! 

Fantastic shots, Darryl and I like your Cirrus !!

Die T-33 von iniBuilds macht echt Spaß!

Below my plane is Lake Irvine

I pass by Lake Perris

Above Banning, flying along Interstate 10

The Morongo Casino Resort

Passing by Palm Springs, I decide to land at the Jacqueline Cochran Airport in Coachella, south-east of Palm Springs

Thanks for viewing

Thanks a lot for commenting, Darryl and Andi !

I have never had any issues with frames in any part of Germany, Austria, or Switzerland, and I have a rather modest system. I can fly over Frankfurt, Munich, Vienna, or Zurich with photogrammetry and even Google add-on scenery downloaded from the .to site, and everything is fine. Except for the clouds and terrain textures (Ultra), most of my sliders are at "High." Are your sliders all maxed out? If so, try moving them a bit to the left and see what happens.
