Hello and thank you for your download! FS2000's sound engine is quite a bit different than FS98's and therefore provides much more realism. It now uses multiple sounds to represent different thrust levels without a jumpy transition like with some of the downloads for FS98 that replicated the same format. I have thus produced this file that gives your 727/737-100/737-200(s) new, more realistic sounds, instead of using the default 737's.
INSTALLATION:
1) Make a new folder in your FS2000\Aircraft\fsfsconv folder called "727_737-100_737-200.snd" (without the quotes).
2) Unzip everything in this zip into that folder.
3) Move "gear.wav" from your FS2000\Aircraft\fsfsconv\727_737-100_737-200.snd folder to your FS2000\Sound folder.
4) Go to your FS2000\Aircraft\B737_400\Sound folder and COPY EVERYTHING **BUT** THE FOLLOWING FILES into your FS2000\Sound folder: Ban21, Ban23, Ban24, Bbn21, Bbn23, Bbn24, Bmgeardn, Bmgearup, Xban14, Xban21, Xban23, Xban24, Xbbn13, Xbbn14, Xbbn21, Xbbn23, Xbbn24, and Sound.cfg
5) If you want other/future aircraft to use these sounds as well, I have included a Sound.cfg for them to use. Extract Sound2.cfg from this zip into their Sound folder, delete the original Sound.cfg and rename Sound2.cfg to Sound.cfg.
6) I have found that the startup sounds do not play for any of the downloaded aircraft even if they are listed in the Sound.cfg for those particular aircraft. I do not know why this is. Therefore, I haven't bothered to include them in my Sound.cfg for these sounds.
That's it! Enjoy these new sounds!

P.S. Another minor "bug" in FS2000 I've noticed that is unrelated to this file:
- On some of the downloaded aircraft, they appear as though slightly sunken into the ground (the wheels slightly below the ground surface).
If any of you are experiencing this or any other "bugs", please contact Microsoft and inform them of your specific problems. If they get enough letters about these things, maybe they'll release another patch. If you have found a solution yourself, please tell me what you did to correct these errors. Thank you very much!
