Hello,
I am haveing a spot of bother installing your excellent aircraft on my PC.
The aircraft in question Boeing 707-436 BOAC textures, my PC has FSX Acceleration and a Windows 7 64bit system.
When I start FSX I have your Boeing 707 in the view window, all intact in all its glory, when I have selected the airport weather etc, I try to load the Boeing but the FSX crashes I then get a "fatal error" message and FSX starts up again.
Now I have your excellent aircraft on other PC`s in FSX Acceleration howether the OS is Windows 7 32bit and good old Widows XP 32bit.
On the 32 bt PC's everything is fine, so I can only conclude there is a problem with your aircraft on a 64bit system in FSX, I would add I have FS9 on the same PC, your aircraft fly ok, the only problem I have had on FS9 is with the Water Injection on your Boeing 707-120, but thatcould be finger trouble on my part.
I would be grateful if anyone could assist or has no one ever had this problem with a 64bit OS, this is no way mean't to be critical of your products, I have a number of your aircraft on my PC's all are excellent.

I can't help you with your FSX specifi queries  .... BUT .... may be able to assist in regard to the WI associated with the B707-120 B707-138, and very early C135-A aircraft  What particular problem are you having with this feature and with these aircraft ? Please be very specific as to what you're actually doing .... and also in regard to what you're actually experiencing too. Mark C AKL/NZ |

Thanks for your reply to my query and I apologise for any confusion,
Basically I would like to know if anyone has had any problem with your aircraft on a 64bit OS, I have installed the Boeing 707- 420 in FSX , I can select the aircraft and I have it on the preview box however when I try to load the aircraft ino the sim, FSX crashes I get a fatal error message and FSX goes through the process of restarting. I have three other PC`s with your aircraft in FSX and FS9 all operating without any problem they are all on 32bit systems.
I am agreat fan of your aircraft maybe its something peculiar with my PC setup Iam just keen to know if anyone has encountered a similar problem and better still could anyone point me to a fix
The other problem is with the Boeing 707-120 in FS9 again on the 64 bit machine this time all is well except the water injection does not function on take off again this aircraft works ok in FS9 on my 32bit systems.

It almost sounds like "SOMETHING" isn't in the right place !   I've not heard of .... OR RATHER .... I don't recall any such issues being having been reported, to date, with any of our aircraft in FSX and on 64 BITT systems, or with WINDOWS 7 either for that matter. In the absence of specific advice to identify and pinpoint your problem I'll hazard commenting as follows .... I'd say whatever problem you're currently experiencing must be localized to either (a) "that particular PC" on which you're encountering these issues .... or .... (b) the installation of our product on that same particular PC. I trust you've, indeed, got all the right bits in the right places .... i.e. all panel gauges files installed inside the "GAUGES" folder, all panel sounds files installed inside the "SOUND" folder in FS (not the one within your B707 aircraft base pack), and finally .... all FX files (a seperate add-on file) installed inside the "EFFECTS" folder. "IF .... the various bits'n'pieces aren't installed in the right places (this includes activating the FSX specific CFG files too).... OR .... if you've for any reason ended up with a corrupted file/s (it can happen) .... then such as you report could, possibly, occur. Review what you've installed .... and be prepared reinstal it .... but .... maybe only after redowbnloading everything again .... is the best advicfe I can offer short of Dan, maybe, eventually, offering sometrthing better. "IF" .... it's all working fine in FS9 .... then it should all be working equally fine in FSX too .... save for any installation/configuration errors like I mentioned above. Activating WATER INJECTION (for the B707-120, B707-138, and early C135-A aircraft/panels only) should be a simple matter of adhering to the following procedures .... . Line up on the RWY threshold/center line. - Lock the brakes "ON", - Run the engines up to "MAXIMUM POWER"/thrust lever detente. - Activate all 4 WI switches on the Main Panel .... it may take between 20-25 seconds, or so, for these lamps to activate .... and when they do they won't all light up together in unison, but, which is "quite normal". - When the WI lamps light up the engine thrust indications will all incrase by a further, roughly, 12%. - Release the brakes .... and roll for T/O. - WI will provide approxiately 3 minutes (only) of thrust augmentation .... and associated fireworks (heavy black smoke) too .... at which point (the exhaustion of WI) engine thrust indications will then be observed to reduce by some 12% .... or so.

Thanks for your time and interest , you have confirmed what I had suspected the problem is either my FSX setup or finger trouble or indeed a corrupt file, I will download a complete new set of files and install again.
If I do find any thing specific I will reply for it could help someone else who is in trouble.
Again thanks Mark for your time

REMEMBER .... I'm only "speculating" in regard to what I've suggested, but, it is a "POSSIBILITY". See how you get on anyway .... on the basis of what I've suggested. Let us know "precisely" what you're doing .... and what you're then experiencing too as a result. The more information provided to us .... then the better .... usually. YEP .... "sharing your experience" .... in the hope that this may help us to resolve your problem for you, or, someone elses problem too .... later down the track, is precisely what these forum pages are all about .... or at least what they should be all about Mark C AKL/NZ |

I have the same problem and the same setup W7 64 + FSX + Accel Pack.
It probably is something related with the 707 gauges. What I usually do is first load a default 747 flight and then go to aircraft menu and change to a 707.
If you normally start your flights from the same place you can have a saved 747 flight with all the radios, HDG and CRS set up. After loading the desired 707 variation just check fuel the quantities and you're ready to fly.

I run FSX, win7 on a 64bit system with no issues, not that it is of any help to you, but I will try to look a bit more into your problems, once our short vacation is over...

Thanks to every one for your interest and taking the time to reply to my original post.
I found I had no problem with loading your Tristar and Douglas DC8 aircraft the ploblem was with your Boeings, I have the Capt Sim Payware Boeing 707's on my FSX instalation so I loaded the Capt Sim Boeing 707 320, at my desired Airport cancelled the flight and immediatelly loaded one of your Boeing 707's this time no problems complete success, your Aircraft operate flawlessly even the Water injection on the boeing 707-120, so to recap the problem I was having, I could install your Boeings, select them see them in the display window, when I tried to load them the loading window went up to about 80% and then the dreaded fatal error message came up and went through the process of restarting FSX. Loading the Cap sim Boeing first sorted the problem. I have no idea if loaing a default aircraft would bring success I am quite happy to have your Boeings on my most powerful PC.
I would add that i have your Boeings installed, along with the Capt Sim Payware Boeings on another PC, with no problems the OS is good old Windows XP and the FSX Installation is SP1 and SP2 .
The problem I was having with your Boeing 707-120 water injection operation on the FS2004 sim tuned out to be finger trouble on my part.
Again my thanks to everyone for your time and trouble but most of all to the people who run this site thank you for your patience

I am running in Full Screen mode,by the way I have had problems with other soft ware, the Wilco payware Airbus A320/319/ 330 340 the guages on these aircraft will not operate unless I load the Pilot in Command Boeing 737 first . I contacted Wilco Publishing but received no responce except to point me to their FAQ page on installing their product on Vista.
This could be peculiar to my PC, however as long as I can fly your software, I can live with it
