BOEING 707-420 for FS2004 and FS2002
Important
A minimum resolution of 1024 x 768 is recommended to use this panel. It is recommended that NUM LOCK should be turned off while using this panel.
Triple Panel - Hot Panel Switching
The panel package includes Captain, First Officer and Flight Engineer panels. Using SHIFT + number keys to change between Captain and First Officer panels is not recommended.
NEW: This latest version of the 707-420 package features improved night lighting, several bug fixes and custom programming in the autopilot, giving much better altitude and vertical speed holds. In addition, all gauges except the windscreen wiper are now combined within a single multigauge.
The Flight Simulator views are used to look around the cockpit. Icons marked L and R return to the captain's and first officer's main instrument panels respectively. The other icons have the following functions:

Acknowledgements
I would like thank Roy Chaffin of RCS Panels for a considerable degree of support concerned with learning the techniques required for the construction of this panel, as well as the dual panel idea. I would also like to thank Paul Golding for the panel floodlighting idea and help on FS2002/4 panel lighting, Daniel Steiner for help on programming sounds in gauges, and Arne Bartels for telling me how to make the autopilot FS2002/4-compatible.
I also thank Rok Dolenec for supplying the GMAX 707-320B source code which I modified to produce the 707-420 visual model.
Hope you enjoy this panel! E-mail me any comments.
