Boeing 707 family build(s)

Beauty!

How are you going to engine this 4 jet beauty? Turbojets or the newer turbofans?

And also how's the mig-21 going?

JT3D/TF-33

 
By the way, can I suggest a white umm... basecoat / undercoat colour scheme so as it may be easier to make custom airline livery for this? If you think that be a wise thing?

I see the problem! You got me! The lack of finishing details may make this too troublesome!

We have this 'budget' airline here, butt of a lot of jokes, I thought it'd be a hoot to paint a plain in that scheme!
 
I am just loving this effort you have undertaken.

Way back in my somewhat misspent youth I worked in Test and Development Engineering for the PWA TF33 / JT-3D engine. The time frame for the job was near the tail end of the 707 production run but at the inception of the AWACS concept. A guy at a nearby desk worked almost exclusively on gearbox mods required for the TF33 to support AWACS electronics requirements. We nicknamed him "Mr AWACS".

Rock on with your efforts, can't wait to "fly" the aircraft that I worked on!

Any idea when the "roll out" will be done on your aircraft?
 
i little build update. I have a new job, a GF (12 hours a week), and dad is in town so helping him when I can. also with the lighting update I am holding off for more info on it and to see what it has to offer. I have a side project to really see what the lighting has and the side project will be a guinea pig for it.

Lighting update?

I thought it was in this post @technoid do remember where it was or am I not remembering straight.

The RealFlight Team been very busy lately with a multitude of things. Some of that is lifted now with the release of 2024 Quarterly Content Pack 2 and a couple new updates (public & public beta). Some of it is ongoing.

As a result, I've been quiet lately on the forums simply due to lack of time. I wanted to give a quick update to let you all know we're still at it and to speak a little about the current state of RealFlight.

One big upcoming item is the release of an upgraded RealFlight Trainer Edition that runs on DirectX 11. That's coming soon. It's going to be a significant upgrade to the existing version even beyond the DX11 jump, and free for all current RFTE users.

We're also working on a change that will affect custom model creation. I expect there to be an adjustment period--hopefully small--but I don't expect it to really throw anybody once the kinks are worked out. I will add that backward compatibility is a priority; existing content should continue to work. That one needs more time to cook, though. I can't say any more right now, but of course will explain in full detail when the time is right.

Because of the above, we haven't been able to focus on any of the more recent bug reports. Rest assured they have all been documented as noted in the respective threads, and we will dig into them as soon as we're able.

I hope that helps!
