A complete package featuring three different Boeing 727 models along with a huge selection of liveries and repaints for Microsoft Flight Simulator X (all versions including Steam Edition) and Prepar3D (all versions including v4).

Delta Boeing 727-200 on ramp in P3Dv4.The package features three models originally developed by the well-known freeware developer Thomas Ruth which are all FSX native (not conversions from FS2004 models).

The models include the Boeing 727-100, 727-200 and the 727-200 Advanced (ADV). Along with these three models, each has a passenger and cargo-specific model with different repaints and liveries for each.

With this pack you can fly the passenger aircraft or if you want to, you can also become a virtual cargo pilot delivering freight around the globe.

The Boeing 727 is one of the most iconic aircraft ever to grace the skies and this package brings that to your simulator. The Thomas Ruth model is actually quite old and one of the most well known and highly rated 727 models available for FSX/P3D. This pack has been updated to include better sound effects (especially in P3D).  This is one of the best packs bringing you a complete FSX 727 and also to Prepar3D.

The aircraft comes with a fully working 3D VC (Virtual Cockpit) which is how many modern virtual pilots prefer to fly (especially when using VR). However, also included is a standard 2D panel for our older simulator enthusiasts that have been with us since the days of FS98.

Also included are effects like the well-known 727 engine smoke and bucket reverse deflector thrusters (on early 727-100 models). However, with a little tweaking you can (if you want to) enable them on all of the 727 variants in this package like you can see in the video.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D aircraft
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
  2. Copy aircraft files into SimObjects

    Place the aircraft folder inside FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\. The folder must contain an aircraft.cfg file. Effects go into FSX\Effects\; gauges go into FSX\Gauges\.
  3. Verify in FSX

    Launch FSX, go to Free Flight → Select Aircraft and find your new aircraft under its manufacturer.
  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.

    Can't see the 727 in my FSX startup.

    The gauges and avionics are all black and are not visible, kind of crucial for flying.

    Truly wonderful visuals. The shape is spot-on! Just a minor gripe with performance but I made a very minor tweak in the .cfg file to increase performance and am trying to 'gear-down' an overzealous trim switch where the slightest touch of elevator trim sees the entire stabilizer moving a little too quickly! I don't know how to fix the back-to-front trim wheels on the center console which rotate the wrong way or the similarly back-to-front wingtip nav lights.

    For a freeware package, it looks excellent externally! The many liveries are well done too! My issue is pitch and power. Many years ago I got a jump-seat ride in a 727 and don't recall a large amount of power required to fly at typical speeds.

    The two versions seem a little underpowered. But the big problem is the pitch. Try to approach and land at 160kts, reducing to 135-140, this is a little fast at lighter weights, and the pitch up required to not fall out of the sky always results in tail strikes. Climb and cruise seem excessively pitched up too. It also seems impossible to trim. Do the trim wheels rotate in the opposite direction to what they should but trim logically? With the minimum trim change I can achieve, the VSI will go from -1000ft/min to +2500ft/min. You just have to do the best you can by hand then hit the ALT HOLD switch on the autopilot.

    What do you guys have against XPlane 11? Nothing is easy and nothing works as it should. Very Few aircraft for X-Plane11. What?

    Downloaded the aircraft this morning. I first took off at KEDW to see how it handles. Nice. It took about an hour to figure out Panel 3 (Auto Pilot). I won't repeat what the developers called it. This 727 will be my go-to aircraft for short jumps, like KLAX to KSAN, etc. I would like to figure out how to change the pink/purple Panel 3 to match the cockpit panel grey. Great aircraft for a freebie.
