So far as I'm aware too .... our B707/720 panels don't support FS NAV.

Some of these panels, the 1965 (really representive much later 1960's versions) and 1970 panel versions, are equipped with their own built-in INS NAV system.

just curious,

I don't understand the question or the answer.

FSNav works with any aircraft, but not every aircraft/panel/ap combo.

It doesn't attach to a panel,

does it?

After installation, when you are in FS, it comes up by pressing F9

When you are flying in FS, using a Vistaliner 727, with a R. Probst panel, or any variation thereof, FSNav will do to that aircraft what it will do to most all aircraft.

If you have heading clicked on your ap, you can open FSNav and click "fly to here" and you will fly to there.

Also, the Vistaliner/Probst aircraft will respond correctly when you wish to fly an entire flight plan by FSNav.

Some panel/ap combinations work differently than others, in the Caravelle, with one of the HJG panels installed you can not have heading clicked to use the 'fly to here' function.

Have the ap ON, but NOT the heading button, then it works as usual.

I have never seen any literature or instruction on attaching FSNav to a panel, and I've used FSNav since it first came available.

Where is that info?

"NO" .... it doesn't work with "EVERY" FS aircraft/panel .... and that's something we've been only too well aware of these past 4 years in respect of out B707 panel INS.

And the same probably applies to the INS provided with our B727 panels too.

but not every aircraft/panel/ap combo.

That is essentially the issue .... I understand .... but .... it's also one that "may" be about to change, within the forseable future, subject to further development of the INS we currently offer !

Remember also .... the Richard PROBST B727 panels we host here have also been extensively modified beyond the standard of his original release.

That complete statement stands as the truth! It did not need to be taken apart, calling the first clause false, and the second true!

ANY AIRCRAFT (FIRST CLAUSE) aliased to a default FS panel will work with FSNav!

As seen with your 707 and the default 737 panel, and the Caravelle, and many others I have tested.

The 707 with the HJG 707 panel will NOT do 'fly to here' (SECOND CLAUSE)

The circle in the center of JOT shows the 'fly to here' feature works with your 707, but not with the 707 and the HJG 707 panel (FIRST AND SECOND CLAUSE TRUE)

Craig .... you're only stating what we all already know .... and have known over the past 4 years in respect of "our panels" .... and which is what I've also stated on this particular thread since November 2009 !

I also hinted above (and on the end of another existing thread too) .... that subject to the success of further INS modifications which George has in progress at the moment .... this current HJG panel incompatibility with FSNAV "may" be about to change.

That's all that's ever been stated or implied by me HJG aircraft/panel/INS/FSNAV-wise ;D

The 707 and 720 panels are confirmed INCOMPATIBLE with FSNAV (although a Core Files update I've been working on should fix this).

The 727 panel (including the INS-equipped versions) should be compatible with FSNAV, as the autopilot on these panels is programmed differently.
