TDS Reveals Next Line of Aircraft: Boeing 727

TDS (Tenkuu Developers Studio) is working on a Freeware Boeing 727. As usual with TDS we can expect multiple variants (-100 & -200) and sim (FS9 & FSX), but no VC (that's ok, some nice FSX native VCs are available, payware and freeware).

While you wait, check out these PDF books published by M. Hiroshi Igami himself, about the art of 3D modeling. Price is only $2.72 USD, or 2.40 Euros. English version available. C'mon! The guy is an outstanding and prolific model builder! He deserves a bit of support!

 
With the amount of paints she's going to get, I'll need to install her side-by-side with Tom's model. :/

At least the cockpit is going to be the same.
 
Also a number of nice paints released today at flightsim.

Would be really helpful if someone with the knowledge could post a clear and concise 'how to' on merging a VC with this new release. Like all TDS base packages it only comes with a 2d panel.

I've attempted to do this with Thomas Ruth's 727 VC but failed miserably despite a number of guides (some of which conflict with each other) I've encountered.

I also own the Justflight L1011 that has a decent VC and wonder if it's possible to merge that one also.
 
If you have never done it before it's not easy to explain in a post but here is a guide - merging the default 737 vc + interior model with a POSKY 737 model. What you will need is the new eyepoint entry which took me many dozens of trials and errors . . It may take you a bit of doing but the result is worth it. Great advantage of FSX.
