I recently downloaded the fleet B707-320 and found it has the same problems with the AP, HSI, and nav radios that the Caravelle suffers from.

Are these aircraft fully compatible with FS2K2? After realizing they both have the same problems I'm beginning to think it is FS and not the aircraft.

On the up side, the B707-320 hand-fly's much nicer than the Caravelle. The pitch moment is not as abrupt and it trims nicely at FL350 without the roll tendancy that plagues the Caravelle.

If anyone with FS2K2 flies these two aircraft with the mentioned systems working correctly I'd like to hear from you.

Mike, don“t know the 707, but the caravelle is originaly made for 2002, may be you dowloaded the 2004 version. Check in fligthsim and/or avsim for the original release. I think with it, came an update for 2002 too.

Whatever panel comes with the fleet B707. I'm not sure who designed it.

I'd like to find out why the Caravelle wants to roll to the right. It's the only aircraft that does that and it can't be trimmed out.
