HJG's Magnificent March Website Update !

[Mark C]

Historic Jetliners Group (HJG) has pleasure announcing its first website update for the 2009 year ...a flightline full of fabulous new freeware featuring classic/nostalgic B727-100 & B727-200 aircraft for FS2004/FSX.

New additions to HJG's existing classic B727-100 theme include textures for 5 historic liveries of the 1960's representing both of Australia's domestic service providers; The 2nd installment of colorful 1960's/1970's fleet liveries for a famous US airline; A selection of some 22 liveries representing US operators from the 1960's through 1990's era ...among which are included the earliest variation of Piedmont Airlines livery from 1967; The mega-rare Continental Airlines "Golden Jet" livery from 1967; The Alaska Airlines "Gold Nugget Jet" livery of the early 1970's; The Delta Air Lines "We The People" US bicentennial livery of 1976; And a lesser known freighter from the early 1990's... to name but a few. North America is also represented by the 1990's livery for a major tourist/charter operator from Canada.

And ... HJG's the classic B727-100 magic doesn't end there...

Also featured among new textures for these aircraft are 4 variations of 1960's/1970's era livery for a major South African airline; An Icelandic livery of the late 1960's. 2 variations of 1970's/80's livery representing a lesser known Pacific based airline who's services were operated by a major US carrier; 4 classic Colombian liveries of the 1980's and 1990's ...among which includes the civil wing of the Fuerza Aerea Colombiana; 3 variations of early 1980's livery representing the national carrier of Uruguay. And a rare aircraft of Middle Eastern origin and more recent time.

But... that's not all...

HJG also has pleasure announcing the launching of its new classic B727-200 theme ...representing standard/early -200, Advanced -200, and modernized -200 RE Super 27 aircraft.

Early B727-200's are represented by a selection of 5 classic/historic US airlines of the 1960's/70's era ...and a colorful Colombian freighter from 2003. B727-200 ADVC liveries include 5 major US carriers of the 1970's through 1990's era ...among which includes the classic yellow and blue scheme for a San Francisco based operator who's aircraft were affectionately known as "the fastest bananas in the west"; The 1990's liveries of 2 classic Australian domestic operators; 3 British liveries from the 1980's/90's era ...including that of a famous IT specialist. The early 1990's livery of an independent Danish carrier. 2 attractive liveries from Colombia and the late 1990's ...and 3 freighters featuring the striking 2003 identity of a major Colombian cargo specialist; A rare Canadian operator from 2003; And an aircraft operated by a major US international air freight force during 2004. Modernized B727-200 RE Super 27 ...with their upgraded/hybrid powerplants... are represented by both a PAX and Freight aircraft featuring the livery of a lesser known British carrier from more recent time.

But still... there's more...

New/updated B727-100 Aircraft Base Pack files have also been released ...featuring FDE improvements resulting in better flight performance. HJG's B727-200 aircraft also feature new FDE revisions ...for each of the 6 variations of aircraft represented.

And last ...but... by no means least of all...

A new B727-200 RE Super 27 soundpack has also been added to the HJG Boeing sounds inventory.

HJG acknowledges with gratitude the kind co-operation of Erick CANTU for approval to host VISTALINERS B727 models !

Those TAA 727s are interesting for me. My sister used to fly out to Australia from boarding school in Britain for the school holidays, and after/before the intercontinental flights, all the internal ones were on TAA 727s. They used to call them the Golden Whisper jets, or some such advertising nonsense. Anyway, I wonder if any of those repaints are ones she flew on...

Never flew on them myself, mind. Ansett ANA Lockheed Electras for my parents and I, with complementary sick bags.

Thanks for the update, Mark. HJG is a real asset to the flight simming world.

No problem Garry .... and good to see you getting back into the swing of things here !

Thanks for your kind and positive feedback Paul .... Glenn's got quite a few more classic/historic B727 liveries from the Great Southern Land up his sleeve and for future release too !

ENJOY ! ;-)

I used to fly on Ansett and TAA 727s on positioning flights around Oz. So the first of the HJG, newly-hosted, 727-200s that I've tried comes from the land down under. I already had a selection of Vistaliner 727s from the Virtual Eastern site, but HJG have added an improved FDE and excellent sound packs. The flight characteristics are a definite improvement and make them a joy to fly. Look at this - sightseeing on finals and I still managed to touch down bang on the centreline. (OK - I know somebody's going to say that it's a bit nose high, but I lost 5 knots due to looking at the city )




I'm going to replace all my Vistaliners originals with the HJG hosted models. It's well worth doing if you like a bit of Boeing on the side

Why would anyone say that Ian? That looks about normal for a 727 approach - ;-)


Leif

They are rather nice paints arn't the?

Yeah - I knew that, really Thanks, Leif

I've been selecting a few more models and paints from what's becoming quite a big choice at HJG. With the Richard Probst panel (also hosted at HJG) they're lovely to fly - as well as to look at.



And paints previously released at the main sites for Erick's models work OK. This is a SA Comair/BA franchise circa 2000.
