The 100 seems to have all the Eastern variations and that's it for now as it appears to tie in with the BETA status. :think:

I must say it looks very nice with all the high lift devices set out at various settings.

Thank you Garry. Just a matter of time for the repaints I suppose.

Hmm lets see - GBAEF, GBDAN , ummmm N1186Z, N690WA, all of the Queer Sisters including the Magnum that would be N357QS to you guys. N29KA, lots of off the wall Paints for that model I can see (hmm why do I suddenly write like Yoda sounds) Nice model Garry - AFTER youve downloaded a good JT8 sound file and sourced a descent panel file.
But its a bit sprightly if you know what I mean

Forgive my ignorance, but how do you get a proper panel to appear with this 727 ? The panel.cfg just reads;

[fltsim]
alias=fsfsconv\panel.b727

I'm familiar with the 'alias' principle, but there is no file or folder named panel.727 in fsfsconv. :think:

At the moment its a bit disconcerting to sit down in the left hand seat of a 727 and be faced with the controls of a Beaver.

I have been using Richard Probst's excellent panel for the 727-200 and it works well with the 727-100.

I found it on

Thanks John, that'll do me nicely!

Still dont understand the [fltsim] alias=fsfsconv\panel.b727 thing though.

That looks just to be pointing the model to a shared panel....the one that came up with the model..rather than each model folder having it's own panel.

Saving lots of space

Gary, no panel comes with it. When I extract the zip file, a Panel folder is created, but all it contains is a Panel.cfg that says:

[fltsim]
alias=fsfsconv\panel.b727

...and while fsfsconv certainly exists in the Aircraft directory, there is nothing called panel.b727 within it

Hi Paul

I had a panel.

I just unzipped the folder and put things in their place.

It was a default type panel and I think it was a twin 737 type..didn't actually use it in my short flight :roll:

But a panel was there nonetheless

The Richard Probst panel (see above) creates a panel.b727 folder in fsfsconv.
