Hi,

have you got Josh any instruction for this plane, for example how to use A/P? :)
or checklist for 727-200? Do you think that this one can be helpfully: http://www.faatest.com/simchecklists/FS9B7272.ZIP?

I would like to test this aircraft in the air but it is difficult when I push some buttons on the A/P and do not know how it is works :)

Bug Report:
I went to go test a livery and I couldn't select the aircraft. It kept giving me this error message:
Failed to open file /usr/share/flightgear/Aircraft/727-200/Models/lights/ALS/beacon.xml

Fixed. It was supposed to be an uppercase L in lights.

Kind Regards,
Josh

PS: I removed the PSA2 because there was no PSA 727RE

Its hard for me to tell what livery belongs where when it comes to 727s because I don't have a source that gives me that info. My only source gives information about just about every type of commerical aircraft except for 727s... :evil:

HERE IS THE AUTOPILOT TUTORIAL 727-200!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwTw3V3JdmM

Please, watch if you are so inclined!

During the ILS section, I said: "hit the ground very difficult". I have no idea what I was thinking, it should have been "hit the ground very hard". I guess I am the biggest idiot.

Kind Regards,
Josh

PS: I said Camtastia to export 1080P, but it only went 720P, I don't know why! (My display is 1920x1080). Sorry for that!

Hi Josh,
this tutorial is not available now. On youtube I have information that you deleted this movie. Is it possible to share it with us again?

Thanks
Lukasz

Hi Lukasz,
It was accidentally removed. I just checked and I sadly no longer have a copy of the file. I will keep looking.

Kind Regards,
Josh

I WISH you still had the 727-200 autopilot instructions Josh. Please please keep looking! I've been trying and trying to figure out how to use it but I give up I just can't seem to figure out how it works. Have figured out some things but for example now I cant get to to hold at the altitude i select. Any way will much appreciate any help you can give.

It a much more basic AP. I don’t have that video anymore, or remember why I removed it… sorry.

Look up tutorials for FlyJSim 727. It the same Block V system.

Kind Regards,
Josh
