A while ago I watched "Flying Heavy Metal", some of you may know it its a show on the Discovery Channel. Wink

Well, they went to fly the 727 over the California everglades and I was so awed at the beauty and raw power of the Boeing 727, that I decided I should get it for the sim. I had trouble deciding between Captainsim's 727 and Dreamfleet's 727, but eventually I decided on the Dreamfleet incarnation as this version is newer and has a working weather radar.

Coming in

Touching down. The beauty of the 727 is the fact that it was the first jet to operate out of short runways.

Look at the detail on this model. Note the stairs at the rear.

Can we leave again? The weather outside the window and on the radar both seem fine.

And were off, flying all the way to Houston! Grin

I am going to have to get that , since I like the 727 so much, and oh that flight deck looks soooooooo....good. Does it have the "black" smoke effect?

Yes with the only restriction: the speed set is your flight planning is ignored as the 727 has no autothrottle.

You have the black smoke when doing near 90% N1

I am also a total fan of this fantastic airliner and the DF is a great model.
