NOTES

Newest to this version is landing lights and fog lights, they dont actually illuminate anything just something to see from the outside. I also adjusted the view so in virtual cockpit the cockput wall isnt in front of you/

This version has 30,784lbs of passengers added to it, 5,608lbs of baggage and 516lbs of flight crew. Ive edited the fuel consumption to be like a real 727, if you load the plane up with 100% fuel which is 50,733lbs expect to get about 1700nm if you fly at FL350. The plane fully loaded is 188,871 lbs, 1630lbs under MTOW. The most fuel you can have is 20,992lbs to be under MLW.

I've also adjusted the oil temp, EGT and N1 to correctly show what the 727 runs at. N1 idle is 33%, max N1 is 102.4%. 

There has also been corrections made to the moving parts.

This flight model is based on a 727-200 with JT8D-15's max thrust at 15,500lbs each.

The first 727-200 delivered was to Northeast in December of 1967. I tried to make the flight dynamics as realistic as possible using specs on the web and in books I have, I also got advise from a 727 pilot. Next plane done possibly very soon will be in the Eastern old colors. The Eastern 727 in older colors will also have its flight dynamics updated to reflect an older plane, this should only be less max thrust from the engines.

CREDITS

much thanks to Peter A. Bird for all his help on getting me real 727 specs and information.

this plane was made using .afx files found at the FreeFlight Design Shop(http://www.geocities.com/~freefltdesign/index.html)

origianl 727-200 by Bill Alderson
upgrade to AF99/AA by Chris van Bijlert
3D engines and Eastern textures by Peter Salzano (tekdope@yahoo.com)

what i did to the .afx was make the 1 & 3 engines 3D and make the intake for the #2 engine. I also used the engine texture that came with the .afx.
