FSX Braniff Boeing 727-100 "Jelleybean Green" N7278

This vivid repaint captures Braniff’s iconic Boeing 727-100 in a distinctive “Jellybean Green” scheme. Created by Marc Brown, it is specifically designed for the payware Captain Sim B727-100 add-on and offers Microsoft Flight Simulator X users a nostalgic look back at Braniff’s creative livery approach.

Spotlight on the Boeing 727-100 at Braniff

The Boeing 727-100 was among the early commercial tri-jet aircraft, sporting a three-engine configuration that delivered strong climb performance. Braniff, known for its eye-catching liveries, introduced the “Jellybean” series in multiple vibrant colors. This special green variant, identified by registration N7278, harkens to an era when carriers embraced bold visual branding.

Developer and Credits

All texture work presented here has been skillfully assembled by Marc Brown. He painstakingly recreated every detail of the “Jellybean Green” paint scheme, ensuring historical authenticity and refined aesthetics. These textures only are intended for Captain Sim’s 727 Captain: 727-100 Expansion Model.

Steps for Installing This Repaint

1. Extract the provided ZIP package to a temporary folder of your choice.
2. Place the texture.N7278 folder into the CS-B727-100 directory of your payware Captain Sim 727 installation.
3. Add the following configuration details to your aircraft.cfg file. Ensure you update the [fltsim.x] entry to sequence correctly after your existing liveries (for instance, if the last entry is fltsim.6, the next should be fltsim.7).

Why This Texture Package Stands Out

• Historical Reflection: Pays homage to Braniff’s unique paint philosophy, featuring bright color motifs from the 1960s and 1970s.
• Accurate Detailing: Correctly placed branding elements, registration numbering, and signage for a realistic in-cockpit and external representation.
• Seamless Integration: Optimized textures that blend seamlessly with the Captain Sim 727-100 payware model.

Important Note

This download consists of textures only and does not include the base payware Captain Sim B727-100 model. You will need to secure the original aircraft separately from a reputable store, such as SimShack, in order to utilize these files in your simulator.

Enjoy this “Jellybean Green” tribute to Braniff, and experience the spirited look of a bygone airline era high above the virtual skies!
