Thanks Dave, Not happy with my 707 model. It uses fuel like its going out of fashion and cost me money a couple of times so I will have to look around for a more suitable model.

Hmm.. a bit restricted for choice in that area I think. I used the HJG models on the few flights I did but like you, wasn't entirely happy. The only alternative I can think of is the Captain Sim model (which I have for FS9) and I didn't use that because of the AP's custom coding which meant I had to be on the flight deck throughout the flight to guarantee it was doing what I wanted it to do. I only ever flew at x1 and didn't have the time to sit 'up front' for the duration.

For the 747's.. I used both POSKY and CLS.. mostly CLS as the POSKY model jumped around on the deck in FS9 :-O

The 707 is from posky and was the best of a bad job really.
I have the posky 747 which seems stable on FSX and looks pretty good with the skins from your link on another thread so fingers crossed
