B707 INSTALLATION & HANDLING NOTES # 1
UPDATED: April 2nd 2024.
"HJG B707 PROJECT INFORMATION".
We are grateful to Gary CARLSON for modeling the B707 family of aircraft for HJG.
We are also grateful to George CARTY for our current line of B707 panels.
We are also grateful to Benoit PLAMONDON for our current line of B707 sound packs.
Other folk whom must also be acknowledged for their invaluable contributions to this B707 project are ....

"THANK YOU" everyone
1.00: "INTRODUCTION".
It is important to appreciate there is no such thing as a standard B707 aircraft. Civil B707 aircraft differ in terms of their size, engine type and thrust ratings, certified weights, and other post production technical modifications too. Most previously released B707 simulations focus on just a few engine and weight specific configurations of B707 type aircraft. The virtual civil B707 flight line offered by HJG represents each of the most common production versions along with some lesser known modifications applied to this family of aircraft.
PLEASE NOTE: HJG B707 AIRCRAFT BASE PACKS, PANELS, SOUNDS, AND SMOKE EFFECTS, ARE FS2004 COMPATIBLE .... AND ALSO FSX PORTABLE TOO.
PLEASE NOTE ALSO: ALL INSTALLATION PROCEDURES DRAFTED WITHIN THIS DOCUMENTATION ARE FS2004 SPECIFIC. FSX USERS SHOULD REFER TO THE "FSX SPECIFIC INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS" WHICH ACCOMPANY EACH FILE.
PLEASE NOTE ADDITIONALLY: THE B707 PANELS AND SOUNDS OFFERED BY HJG MAY NOT WORK AS INTENDED IF USED WITH NON-HJG SUPPLIED B707 SIMULATIONS.

All HJG supplied freighter version B707-120F, B707-120BF, B707-320F, B707-320B SCD, B707-320C, B707-700, and B720-BF models feature animated port side forward fuselage main deck cargo doors.
PLEASE NOTE: These animations work using the "FS2004" (version) CONCORDE VISOR keyboard commands .... SHIFT+F7 and SHIFT+F6 opens/closes the forward fuselage main deck cargo door.
PLEASE NOTE ALSO: The CONCORDE VISOR keyboard commands must be manually activated within the FS2004 OPTIONS/CONTROLS/ASSIGNMENTS menu.
PLEASE NOTE ADDITIONALLY: The FS2004 based CONCORDE VISOR keyboard commands "CANNOT" function in FSX (FSX uses a different combination of CONCORDE VISOR commands and which "are not compatible with these B707 models) .... this is the only 3D model animation incompatibility associated with these B707 simulations in FSX.
1.06: "GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION".
Installation of all HJG supplied B707 files is a very easy step-by-step process but should be completed strictly in accordance with the recommended installation procedures which accompany each file download or difficulties may result.
EACH B707 PANEL MUST BE USED WITH THE CORRECT AIRCRAFT BASE PACK VERSION OR PROBLEMS "WILL" RESULT.
IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT THE FOLLOWING AIRCRAFT BASE PACK/PANEL/SOUND PACK ASSIGNMENTS BE STUDIED AND UNDERSTOOD PRIOR TO INSTALLING OF ANY OF THESE FILES. DOING SO WILL AVOID MISUNDERSTANDINGS/PROBLEMS AND BE PROMOTING OF GREATER OVERALL ENJOYMENT USING THESE SIMULATIONS.
1.07: "B707 AIRCRAFT BASE PACK INSTALLATION" (default FS2004 only procedures).
Each HJG supplied B707 aircraft base pack must be installed inside the FS2004 "AIRCRAFT" folder.
Each HJG supplied B707 aircraft base pack is composed the following essential elements ....
- MODEL/s (folder/s)
- PANEL (folder .... aliased to default MSFS B737-400 panel)
- SOUND (folder .... aliased to default MSFS B737-400 sound)
- AIRCRAFT.CFG (file .... separate FS2004 and FSX versions)
- AIR.FILE (file)
- B707 KB CHECK & REF (HTML documents .... 2X separate files)
- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (document)
- HJG EULA (document)
All B707 aircraft base packs are available from the "B367-80, B707-120, B707-120B, B707-220, B707-320, B707-320B, B707-320C, B707-700, B720, and B720B sections on the HJG downloads page.
PLEASE NOTE: The B707-120F is represented on the "B707-120" downloads page; The B707-138 is represented within a separate aircraft type specific section on "B707-120" downloads page; The B707-120BF, B707-138B EARLY and B707-138B LATE are each represented within separate aircraft type specific sections on "B707-120B" downloads page; B707-320B EARLY is represented within a separate aircraft type specific section on "B707-320B" downloads page.
All, or any combination of, HJG supplied B707 aircraft base packs can be installed within FS without the risk of any conflicts.
PLEASE NOTE: Separate FS2004 and FSX specific PANEL.CFG FILES are contained within each HJG supplied B707 panel.... the FSX version PANEL.CFG must be manually activated.
PLEASE NOTE ALSO: Separate FS2004 and FSX specific AIRCRAFT.CFG FILES are contained within each HJG supplied B707 Aircraft Base Pack (with the exception of the B707-700 which "DOES NOT" require a separate FSX specific AIRCRAFT.CFG file for reason of it intentionally lacking Smoke Effects) .... the FSX version AIRCRAFT.CFG must be manually activated.
PLEASE NOTE ADDITIONALLY: The AIR.FILE data provided within each HJG supplied B707 aircraft base pack file is dual FS2004 and FSX compatible.
1.08: "B707 PANEL INSTALLATION" (default FS2004 only procedures).
Each HJG supplied B707 panel file should be installed inside the FS2004 "FSFSCONV" folder.
The FSFSCONV folder is located inside the FS2004 "AIRCRAFT" folder. This recommended installation procedure has been a standard HJG practice over many years past and results in more sensible (we believe) panel/aircraft base pack aliasing.
The PANEL.CFG file contained inside the default Panel folder supplied with each HJG supplied B707 aircraft base pack file must be aliased to the FSFSCONV folder and the appropriate B707 aircraft type panel .... as per either of the following specimens ....

It is recommended the above panel ALIAS= data be "copied & pasted" directly to the default PANEL.CFG file for the corresponding aircraft type version in order to avoid potential for typographical errors that will result in these panels not displaying with the selected/installed simulation.
The entire contents (only) of the B707 Panel Gauges/Core Files "GAUGES" container (3X individual files only) must be installed inside the FS2004 "GAUGES" folder.
The entire contents (only) of the B707 Panel Gauges/Core Files "SOUND" container (46 X individual WAV samples) must be installed inside the FS2004 "SOUND" folder (this is the "SOUND" folder inside the "FLIGHT SIMULATOR 9" folder directory and not the default Sound folder inside each aircraft base pack file).
Failure to perform either of the above steps correctly "WILL" result in these B707 panels either not displaying, displaying with missing instruments/gauges, or otherwise not working correctly.
All B707 panels are available from the B707 panels section of the HJG "BOEING PANELS" downloads page.

PLEASE NOTE: Use each B707 aircraft base pack version with the above recommended B707 Sound Pack version.
PLEASE NOTE ALSO: All, or any combination of, these B707 sound packs can be installed within FS without the risk of any conflicts.
1.10: "SMOKE EFFECTS" (default FS2004 only procedures).
All HJG supplied B707 aircraft base packs are compiled to use HJG supplied B707 smoke effects files.
All B707 smoke effects files are available from the "AIRCRAFT EFFECTS" downloads section on the HJG website.
All HJG supplied smoke effects must be installed inside the FS2004 "EFFECTS" folder .... in accordance with accompanying installation instructions.
PLEASE NOTE: When used with HJG supplied B707 Panels (only) these smoke effects are "auto-generating" at high engine RPM.
PLEASE NOTE ALSO: If using non-HJG supplied B707 panels with these simulations then these smoke effects must be "manually toggled" ON/OFF using the standard FS keyboard "I" smoke command.
PLEASE NOTE ADDITIONALLY: The HJG B707-700 simulation does not (intentionally) feature smoke effects. The CFM-56 turbo-fan engines which powered this particular aircraft version were "virtually" smokeless.
1.11: "B707 TEXTURE FILES" (default FS2004 only procedures).
HJG offer an extensive inventory of airline/operator liveries for each of its B707 simulations. This selection is constantly growing with most HJG website updates. HJG´s selection of B707 liveries/Textures represent a wide range of both classic and lesser known airlines/operators spanning the 1950´s, 60's, 70´s, 80´s, 90´s era and up to relatively recent times.
Each HJG supplied B707 Texture folder must be installed inside the aircraft base pack folder for that particular B707 aircraft subject. The FLTSIM.XX content of ADD TO AIRCRAFT files which accompany each Texture file must be copied & pasted to the AIRCRAFT.CFG file contained within the aircraft base pack folder .... then .... the FLTSIM.XX data line for each texture subject edited edited to read "FLTSIM.0" for the very first texture addition only and these edits "saved" accordingly.
The FLTSIM.XX data for each subsequent texture addition must then be edited to read in strict numerical order following the very first entry .... as per the following specimens ....
[fltsim.0]
[fltsim.1]
[fltsim.2] .... etc
All HJG supplied B707 textures are aircraft type specific and must be used with the correct corresponding aircraft base pack models as follows .... or display issues "WILL" result ....
- Use the B367-80 texture with the B367-80 model and aircraft base pack only.
- Use B707-120 textures with the B707-120 models and aircraft base pack only.

- Use B707-320C/CC-137 (freighter version) textures with the B707-320C (freighter version) models and aircraft base pack only.
- Use B707-700 the texture with the B707-700 model and aircraft base pack only.
- Use B720-A textures with the B720-A models and aircraft base pack only.
- Use B720-AF textures with the B720-AF model and aircraft base pack only.
- Use B720-B textures with the B720-B models and aircraft base pack only.
- Use B720-BF textures with the B720-BF model and aircraft base pack only.
Select one's texture/s of choice .... as this will then determine which particular aircraft base pack/s are required.
In order to determine precisely what textures are available for each of the various B707 aircraft base pack files provided by HJG .... refer to the following linked HJG B707 and B720 TEXTURE INVENTORIES ....

PLEASE NOTE: The B707-120F textures are represented on the "B707-120" downloads page; The B707-138 Textures are represented within a separate aircraft type specific section on "B707-120" downloads page; The B707-120BF, B707-138B EARLY and B707-138B LATE Textures are each represented within separate aircraft type specific sections on "B707-120B" downloads page; The B707-320B EARLY and LATE Textures are represented within a separate aircraft type specific section on "B707-120B" downloads page.
1.12: "EASIER IDENTIFICATION - MSFS AIRCRAFT SELECTION MENU"
The following information is "purely optional" on the part of the end user.
All HJG B707 Subjects will/should appear within the MSFS Aircraft Selection Menu in accordance with the following aircraft designations ....
- B367-80
- B707-120
- B707-120F
- B707-120B
- B707-120BF
- B707-138
- B707-138BF
- B707-220
- B707-320
- B707-320F
- B707-320B
- B707-320B ADV
- B707-320B SCD
- B707-320C
- B707-420
- B707-700
- B720
- B720-B
- B720-BF
These designations are governed by the data edited into the "UI MANUFACTURER" data line (which for these aircraft subjects must always read "BOEING") .... and then the "UI TYPE" data line (which for these aircraft subjects needs to be prefixed either "B367-80, B707, or B720 .... followed by the individual/specific aircraft type suffixes applicable to each subject) within the texture/FLTSIM.XX component of any AIRCRAFT.CFG file.
PLEASE NOTE: The MSFS Aircraft Selection Menu designations for each of these B707 aircraft subject can be made to read "more specifically" and in accordance with their actual aircraft base pack/aircraft type names/configurations .... "if desired". Given the variety of B707's now offered by HJG .... and the performance variations associated with most of these aircraft types also .... then this is (perhaps) not a silly idea and may easily be accomplished. Simply edit the "UI TYPE" data line to read in accordance with actual aircraft type/series designations as follows ....
UI TYPE= B367-80
UI TYPE= B707-120
UI TYPE= B707-120F (freighter)
UI TYPE= B707-120BF (freighter)
UI TYPE= B707-138
UI TYPE= B707-138B (early)
UI TYPE= B707-138B (late)
UI TYPE= B707-220
UI TYPE= B707-320
UI TYPE= B707-320F (freighter)
UI TYPE= B707-320B (early)
UI TYPE= B707-320B ADV
UI TYPE= B707-320B SCD
UI TYPE= B707-320C
UI TYPE= B707-320C (freighter)
UI TYPE= B707-420
UI TYPE= B707-700
UI TYPE= B720-A
UI TYPE= B720-AF (freighter)
UI TYPE= B720-B
UI TYPE= B720-BF (freighter)
The above aircraft type/series designations .... when applied to the "UI TYPE" data line component of any AIRCRAFT.CFG file .... will "force" the MSFS Aircraft Selection Menu to display each of these simulations strictly in accordance with its stated manufacturer and specific aircraft type/series designation .... thereby clarifying the precise configuration of each subject for ease of identity.
This recommendation (if applied) also then enables greater ease in regard to applying Basic Flying Guide information to each individual B707 simulation .... should one desire to use these references .... as the recommended loading, as well as the performance, of most of these simulations varies considerably
1.13: "KNOWN ISSUES".
Some "VERY MINOR" issues are known to exist among the HJG hosted B707 simulations .... HOWEVER .... the end user is not, in any way, disadvantaged by any of these. The minor issues which are known to exist among these B707 simulations are as follows ....
- The interior flight deck views suite incorporated into each B707 panel version do not display in FSX.
- On the ground, and "at extremely low weights, some of these B707 models will tend to demonstrate "a slightly nose down static pitch canter". The CFG defined CP data for each has been adjusted "as much as we dare" .... and has corrected this somewhat (almost to the point of this not being any issue at all at MGW), but, this particular issue appears to be a limitation imposed by these older 3D models. Be advised also that any apparently excessive nose canter, whilst on the ground and at extremely low weight, may be countered somewhat by fuel and payload redistribution.
"PLEASE" .... do not contact us in regard to the above-mentioned issues. HJG may, in time, be able to rectify these issues, but, for now everything "is what it "IS". Once again .... each of these particular issues is "EXTREMELY MINOR" and "WILL NOT" impair one's enjoyment of any of these otherwise fine simulations.
1.14: A FEW FINAL WORDS.
It is important to appreciate the HJG supplied B707 simulations represent some fairly complex FS engineering.
Each file has been individually checked for its functionality prior to uploading.
Each file was noted to perform "FINE" .... or it simply would not be uploaded here.
Despite this and HJG's endeavours to provide the best possible classic/historic jetliner "FREEWARE", it is not inconceivable that some oversights might have occurred, or, that difficulties might be encountered by some .... perhaps due only to the extensive variability among PC systems today rather than end user or product faults.
HJG will try and assist troubleshooting any reported issues that arise, but "kindly understand" that whatever occurs on one PC system "may not be universally experienced".
Any issues arising in regard to these B707 simulations should be addressed on the "BOEING AIRCRAFT SUPPORT" page of the HJG forum.
