It was you who implied AH developers have disabilities preventing them from delivering a quality work product, not me. You should be able to back such assertions up with facts, otherwise you are just making things up from thin air, which does not contribute meaningfully to this thread and could even be interpreted as slander.

Gentlemen this is getting a bit silly. Letās cool our (quad) jets and see what comes of things in 3 weeks

I said that many developers do have disabilities. We shouldnāt hold that disability against the developer. I didnāt say AH name. You said that.

A reminder for everyone to keep this topic on track. Focus only on discussing the 707, and do not engage in arguments with other users.

I think itās a great plane choice. Donāt know why so many complaints.

A great choice for an aircraft does not equal a great choice of developer for that aircraft. AHās past products speak for themselves. As much as I have pined for old Boeings in the sim, I will be hesitating on this one until I see early reviews.

Issue is the developer choice. Nobody has an issue with the plane choice.

Then you didnāt read the thread. The complaints have been thoughtfully explained by a few of us.

Thereās no need to fight, if some people are willing to defend CaptainSim certainly there will be some that will stand for AH, for whatever reason. I respect their position.
We can only wait to see what kind of mess is delivered this time by AH, then start finding Nixonās address to send him chocolates and other bribes to make him do the community mod.

Visually looks just fine. Itāll fly. Good enough for now. Better than nothing imo. To each their preferences.

Likewise squared. My only real viable hope is that they outsource the flight model to someone who has a clue, and FT-Sim will probably make a better sound pack within days of release. Otherwise, I just hope the visual model is correct. AH generally does decent looking work, but there have been a lot of inaccuracies, particularly in the 307. Just really underwhelming and several errors. The mod is solid btw, and improves her a lot. Plus FT-Sim sound pack. Which should seem like a broken record. But clearly not study level 707 regardless, and highly doubtful there will be a Delco Carousel IV INS system in it. They will probably put a retrofit 530 in itās place. Blech.
Iāve heard the fully modded P-51 is āokayā but I canāt see paying that kind of money for it if I have to mod it to make it decent, not when all the FlyingIron stuff is in the sim. So ya, was pretty disappointed. And the 307 is a terrible example for them ā¦ itās a plane they should have nailed. The mod makes it better. But itās not actually modelled correctly in the pit.

Very well said. I think the same as you. At least the plane looks good inside and outside, thatās what Iām looking for. Iām an experienced flyer but not a study levelās one. I donāt like taking one hour before taking off. To date all famous flyer I bought are perfect for me. I love the AN 225, LatĆ©coĆØre 631 and I just flew the DC3 prior to write this. I love this DC3, very nice looking, beautiful interior. Itās what Iām looking for from AH with the B707.
As an exemple, the Blue Bird B757 with 500+ breakersā¦ I really donāt need that. Iāll buy it because I love it, but itās too much detailed for my taste.

Same for me 
The LatĆ©coerĆ© is in another league compared to any AH product I have seen, not merely visually but in just about every aspect, itās a fantastic aircraft for its price. You could argue that visual quality is subjective, but none of the AH products are particularly visually pleasing to me. They all have this plastic looking sheen to it that rubs me off and the texture quality in places are subpar compared to comparable offerings from other developers (this is just my subjective opinion, Iām just surprised at the amount of people singing their praises).
I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt on the 707 ofc, I would love for it to be great. Itās going to be interesting to see it in action!

That plane is one of the best pieces of work delivered to the sim thanks to Bluemesh, a truly piece of art and the dev stood behind the product for months reading every feedback from the users and fixing the small issues. Thatās how things should be done.

The DC3 is from AH, you donāt like it ? Iām flyingit actually and I love it. The sound is better than the DC6, nice retro cockpit, nice cabin, nice textures. Nothing to complain about it. If the B707 is similar to that, Iāll be so pleased.
