Panel variations

[Patrick Cramer]

Hey!
I'm wondering what's the diference btw the 707-320C panels. I mean btw the american 1965 config, early, adv...through the screenshots I couldn't see any. Could you relate the main diferences for me please?

This .... will tell you all you essentially need to know about what's different between not only the B707-320C panels .... but .... all HJG B707/720 panels generally.

We're often asked what panels we recommended using with various B707/720 aircraft.

In most cases these selections are pretty straightforward .... but .... there are a few exceptions.

Here's our recomdations ....

B367-80 ................... use B367-80 panel
B707-120 .................. use B707-120 1959 panel
B707-120B ................. use either B707-120B panel, or B707-120B 1965 panel
B707-120BF ................ use either B707-120B panel
B707-138 .................. use B707-138 1959 panel
B707-138B (EARLY) ......... use B707-138B 1960 panel
B707-138B (LATE) .......... use B707-138B 1965 panel
B707-220 .................. use B707-220 panel
B707-320 .................. use B707-320 panel
B707-320B (EARLY) ......... use B707-320B EARLY panel
B707-320B ADVC ............ use B707-320B ADVC 1965 panel, or B707-320B ADVC 1970 panel
B707-323B ................. use B707-323C 1965 panel, or B707-323C 1970 panel
B707-320C ................. use B707-320B ADVC 1965 panel, or B707-320B ADVC 1970 panel
B707-323C ................. use B707-323C 1965 panel, or B707-323C 1970 panel
B707-420 .................. use B707-420 panel
B707-700 .................. use B707-700 panel
B720-020 .................. use B720-020 panel
B720-020B ................. use B720-020B panel, or B7209-020B 1965 panel

N.B. B707-323C 1965 & 1970 panels should only be used with AMERICAN AIRLINES B707-320B/C aircraft.

All the above panels are available from the "BOEING PANELS" section of our "DOWNLOADS" page.

B707 PANELS - WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT EACH ?

Looking at our B707/720/ C135 panel preview images it may be difficult to spot any major differences between these. However significant differences do exist and are as follows ....

B367-80 Panel.... features late 1950's type instrumentation, Water/Methanol injection with engine instruments callibrated to JT3P turbojet performance parameters, No Thrust Reverser Lights on main panel. and no Turbocompressor gauges on F/E panel

B707-120 1959 Panel.... features late 1950's type instrumentation, Water/Methanol injection with engine instruments callibrated to JT3C-6 turbojet performance parameters.

B707-120B panel.... features early 1960's type instrumentation, engine instruments callibrated to JT3D fanjet performance parameters.

B707-120B 1965 panel.... features mid 1960's type instrumentation, more advanced 1960's type instrumentation, INS, and engine instruments callibrated to JT3D fanjet performance parameters.

B707-138 1959 Panel.... features late 1950's type instrumentation, Water/Methanol injection with engine instruments callibrated to JT3C-6 turbojet performance parameters, and 3 Turbocompressor gauges on F/E panel.

B707-138B 1960 panel.... features early 1960's type instrumentation, engine instruments callibrated to JT3D fanjet performance parameters, and 3 Turbocompressor gauges on F/E panel.

B707-138B 1965 panel.... features mid 1960's type instrumentation, INS, engine instruments callibrated to JT3D fanjet performance parameters, and 3 Turbocompressor gauges on F/E panel.

B707-220 panel.... features early 1960's type instrumentation, engine instruments callibrated to JT4A-7 turbojet performance parameters.

B707-320 panel.... features mid 1960's type instrumentation, engine instruments callibrated to JT4A-11 turbojet performance parameters, and INS.

B707-320B panel.... features mid 1960's type instrumentation, engine instruments callibrated to JT3D fanjet performance parameters, unique flap 17 detent, and INS.

B707-320B ADVC 1965 panel.... features mid 1960's type instrumentation, engine instruments callibrated to JT3D fanjet performance parameters, and INS

B707-320B ADVC 1970 panel.... features early 1970's type instrumentation, engine instruments callibrated to JT3D fanjet performance parameters, and INS.

B707-323C 1965 panel.... features mid 1960's type instrumentation, engine instruments callibrated to JT3D fanjet performance parameters, 2 turbocompresors gauges only on F/E panel, and INS .... AMERICAN AIRLINES configuration !

B707-323C 1970 panel.... features early 1970's type instrumentation, engine instruments callibrated to JT3D fanjet performance parameters, 2 turbocompresors gauges only on F/E panel, and INS .... AMERICAN AIRLINES configuration !

B707-420 panel.... features mid 1960's type instrumentation, engine instruments callibrated to RR CONWAY 508 fanjet performance parameters (with P7 Pressure gauges on main panel instead of EPR gauges), more advanced 1960's type instrumentation, and INS.

B707-700 panel.... features early 1970's type instrumentation, engine instruments callibrated to CFM-56 turbofan performance parameters, and INS.

B720-020 panel.... features late 1950's type instrumentation engine. engine instruments callibrated to JT3C-12 turbojet performance parameters.

B720-020B panel.... features early 1960's type instrumentation, engine instruments callibrated to JT3D fanjet performance parameters.

B720-020B 1965 panel.... features mid 1960's type instrumentation, INS, and engine instruments callibrated to JT3D fanjet performance parameters.

E3 (CFM-56) panel .... features early 1970's type instrumentation engine instruments callibrated to CFM-56 turbofan performance parameters, revisions to retractable landing light overhead switches, and INS.

All HJG B707/720 Aircraft Base Packs contain aircraft specific customised FDE.

The definining factor between most of these panels is gauge/instrument standard for most of these aircraft types (1959, 1965, and 1970 eras) .... and the fact that each main panel features engine instrumentation callibrated (as best FS will permit) in accordance with known thrust/performance ratings (fuel consumption, and other related parameters) in relation to each engine type. These panels "ARE" all different in that respect. There's also some very minor variation in rspect of some of the F/E, Overhead, and CP sub panels too .... again mostly in accordance with era or airline configuration.

This information .... along with a lot more concerning HJG models, panels, textures, and soundpacks .... is available on the "ABOUT HJG AIRCRAFT" forum page.

Nothing else to say!

Thanks you.

The only difference is that the American Airlines 707-323C has only two turbocompressors (check the Flight Engineer panel), while other 707-320Cs have three.
