Thank you for downloading this Vistaliners, 727 repaint. I hope you will find many hours of enjoyment using it. I want to thank Erick for creating such a wonderful model and soundset for us to use. His talents are truly masterful in FS model creation.

OVERVIEW: (by Steve Drabek)

This is Erick Cantu's wonderful 727 for Flight simulator 2004. Installation instructions for this download are listed below.

For those of you who may not have heard of this wonderful bird in the flight simulator forums, you are in for a real treat! This plane has stunning animations, and a flexing wing that is sure to amaze you. Please fly her through turbulance and watch the wings!

Interior/passenger wing views are available. If you have Active Camera, you can move back to the wing and view the wonderful wings, they are a sight to see as a passenger!

DOORS: Shift+E opens the main cabin door, as it does with every FS aircraft.
Shift+E+2 opens the small port cargo door. The main cargo door is not functioning, yet.

AIRSTAIRS: To get the airstairs to deploy you must assign a key for wing fold. Bear in mind, if you deploy the stairs, the wings are folded - and you will not be able to fly!!!

Cockpit windows:
Use whatever key you assign to the tailhook to open the cickpit windows...very cool animation.:)

INSTALLATION: (by Steve Drabek)

Unzip and install the folder "B727-200-Western1977" to your Flightsim 2004\Aircraft folder. Check the "Use folder names" option in winzip when unzipping.

The entire plane is installed, ready to fly. You will find it under the Boeing Mfgr, 727-200 model. If you know how to just put the textures in a folder of your choice and edit the Aircraft.cfg file, you are more than welcome to do so...there are no special files that have to be anywhere. The basepack for this plane can be found at www.eastern-va.com. It has Erick's excellent sounds included. A good panel that I've heard is by Richard Probst... please search for his panel at the normal sites.
