Captain Sim Boeing 727 After my review of the Captain Sim 777 we will now turn back the time and have a look at another famous Boeing airliner, the Boeing 727. Boeing’s highly successful tri-jet had its first flight in 1963 and more than 1,800 aircraft were built when the production line finally closed in 1984. Download chobits english dub. The 727 was the mainstay for domestic services and was also used on short and medium international routes.

Barcelona - Spain.

After being withdrawn from passenger service the 727 still saw and sees widespread use as a medium haul cargo jet. While still a common sight in South America, the 727 has almost vanished from the skies in Europe completely, except for some occasional private owned 727s. The 727 is one of the oldest add ons for FSX by Captain Sim and dates back to 2009 already. Is a six year old add on really worth a review, especially when there is a follow up simulator already? Oh yes it is. Unlike other developers who often produce “sell-and-forget” products, Captain Sim constantly develop their products further. In case of the 727 we hold the latest version 2.7 in hands, which was released in november 2015.

The Boeing 727-100 2.7 base pack is available in two versions – one for FSX and FSX Steam Edition and a second one for Prepar3D. The most noteworthy addition in version 2.7 – next to P3D support – is the newly added Carousel IV-A INS. Existing customers of the Captain Sim 727 can download version 2.7 as a free service pack.

Alongside the base pack, Captain Sim offers two expansions for their “ProLine- Nostalgy Series Boeing 727”: • 727-200 expansion • 727 freighter 100/200 freighter expansion As usual the base pack costs a moderate €29.99 and each expansion a further €9.99. While the base packs are only for one family of sim, the expansion packs are compatible to both FSX(SE) and P3D. For early customers of the 2008 pre-release “727-100 exterior” package, Captain Sim offers a €10 discount, for owners of the 2008 “727-200 exterior” there is a €9 discount on the 727-200 expansion pack. While the FSX version of the Captain Sim 727 is available at most major flight simming online stores, the P3D version is a store exclusive at Captain Sim’s very one online store.

I would highly recommend buying your Captain Sm stuff from them directly anyway, as prices on their store are usually considerably lower than on the 3 rd party online stores. I own all three modules of the 727 and the file sizes of the version 2.7 downloads are as follows: • 727-100 base back: 63.5 MB • 727-200 expansion pack: 16.1 MB • 727 freighter expansion: 20.2 MB A set of three manuals in PDF format and an easy to use paint kit in layered PSD format are available for download from the product page. Installation I was an early customer of the 727-100 “Exterior” and 727-200 “Exterior” packages for FSX back in 2008, so I made use of the discounted upgrade packages for FSX. In this case you need to install the old “Exterior” packages first and then apply the discounted upgrades.
