Looking forward to some TWA (Twin Globes) and some Eastern repaints. 50 years ago, one couldn't spit in the air in South Florida without hitting an EAL, National, North East 727s. Repaints for them as well! I did a quick flight from EWR to ISP. Still getting used to the decent. Got too high and then raced to get down. There will be a do-over on that one. Working up an airspeed cheat-sheet. Nice work, Thomas!!

Today, there is a major update V1.0.1 for the FSS 727-200F available.
Anyway, did a Lufthansa passenger repaint. D-ABKT was the only one wearing modern Lufthansa livery of 1990.

MSFS B727 D-ABKT Lufthansa | 1990
Payware FFS Boeing 727-200F is needed. This repaint shows Boeing 727-230 of Lufthansa with c/n 21623. The only LH B722 ever painted in this colorscheme. Delivered to Lufthansa on 19th January 1979, then with Air Terrex from November 1992 as OK-JGY, Pacific Airlines from 1994 to March 1995, Comair...
Have fun!

Whilst getting Thomas' liveries I noticed there are a sequence of articles written by an ex-military pilot going on to fly the 727, look interesting, here's one

I just got this the other day. I had been waiting for it to show up in either Marketplace or ORBX, but it had not. I do have a few purchases from SimMarket but purposely did not want to get it from the Aerosoft store as I don't want yet another installer client running on my machine. So after the last Marketplace update where the 727 did not show up I finally purchased it from SimMarket. To my horror I discovered that what they gave me was just a license and I had to install the Aerosoft Client on my machine to actually get it.
I wish I could have been more patient, eventually it will show up in Marketplace.

Hi Denny, its not so much the memory or disk usage, its how many places do I have to check to make sure my setup is up to date. I have tried to not get any payware from a site that does not have an updater, a rule I have only broken once. Now I have yet one more to check.

I dont touch anything with aerosoft attached. If it comes on just flight or simmarket without ill buy it. Otherwise like the FSS P2012, I just waited for it to pop in MP. I see the the MP has a nice FSS E190F. I wish FSS on there site would use a system similar to Pilots Dash 7. It's about flexibility options and freedom of method of purchase. This one 727 is high on my watch list for buy.
Yes so it is , i buy it on Just Flight , but got directed to Aerosoft .... so best option is to go to Aerosoft directly ~

You can activate the 727 with your serial from Aerosoft at Contrail. Then you don't need Aerosoft One, just the Contrail app.
Or just buy from contrail in first place, where it was also cheapest...

I have been using this AC quite a bit recently but have had a few problems flying it. First is the NAV mode on the autopilot does not work any more, it did for the first couple flights now no. Neither GPS tracking or GS tracking work, but that is a problem I can live with. Worse is that after cruising for a while using the auto throttle the engines stop responding to controls. You can turn the auto throttle off, you can see the throttle handles in the VC moving as you move the throttle on your controller back and forth, but the engine gauges and aircraft performance does not change. This engine problem makes landing quite hazardous. I may be putting this one hanger until its fixed.
Edit: I just tried it without using the auto throttle, the engine stopped responding to controls on this flight also. It did so during decent, I at least managed to land but I am sure the regulators are going to be grilling me on my unsafe landing.

I don't have it to test, as I'm waiting for a passenger version either from FSS or SWS, but I did see in the topic on the official MSFS forum that some people found that if they just chose the "restart flight" option after initially loading, the problems with the AP, etc. stopped happening. Guessing something doesn't get initialized properly on load but does on a reload?

I am as shocked as anyone, but after a dozen flights with issues, I did the 'restart flight' trick right after loading the flight, and it worked, NAV and engines worked fine on at least the first flight I tried it on. Will try a few more.
