FSX Braniff Boeing 727-100 "Jellybean Orange" N7273

This repaint celebrates Braniff International’s distinctive “Jellybean Orange” theme, applied to the Boeing 727-100 with registration N7273. Developed by Marc Brown, it is offered for Microsoft Flight Simulator X pilots who already own the payware Captain Sim B727-100. Braniff was widely recognized for introducing bright liveries, and this particular scheme captures that vibrant aesthetic on the tri-jet’s fuselage. Below, you will find a detailed overview of how to install the textures and integrate them seamlessly into your Captain Sim package.

Visual Highlights and Details

• The authentic orange hue reflects Braniff’s famed “End of the Plain Plane” campaign.
• Rivets, panel lines, and unique markings stay faithful to real-world references.
• Designed exclusively for the payware Captain Sim model by Marc Brown.

Critical Notes

• This release consists solely of replacement textures and does not include the base aircraft.
• You must own the Captain Sim 727-100 Expansion pack (payware) beforehand.
• All credit for the textures goes to Marc Brown.

Guide for Installation

Initial Extraction

1. Extract the package contents into a temporary folder of your choice.
2. Look for the folder named texture.N7273.

Moving the Textures

1. Navigate to your main CS-B727-100 directory.
2. Copy the texture.N7273 folder into that directory.

Aircraft.cfg Modification

1. Open the aircraft.cfg file within your CS-B727-200 directory (if that is how you have your Captain Sim expansions organized).
2. Locate the last [fltsim.X] entry and increment the number to create a new consecutive entry. For example, if the last entry was fltsim.6, change the following snippet to fltsim.7.

Insert the text block below into the aircraft.cfg file:
