Any good Freeware 727s

[Anders Nielsen]

I agree with the other comments regarding HJG´s 727. Just fantastic

I have also been considering buying CS´s 727 for FS9. But CS does not offer any support for their FS9 products, if you are using Windows 7, only if you are using XP. A big mistake I think, as FS9 just seem not to die, and I´m sure that it will be around for many years still.

Works just fine in win7, just make sure you're running fs9 in compatibility mode and you have admin rights

Hi Pete,

Thank you for the answer. Sounds good.
Do you know if their Legendary 707 works equally well in Windows 7?

BR,
Anders

[Motormouse]

Have that one too. No probs.
It's only the older models, yak and L39, and for some reason the 2 seat f104, that don't go well in win7

Unless you are REALLY desperate to have the functioning Second Officer station, I would stay with the HJG three holer. It is the best freeware available.

[Anders Nielsen]

Thank you for the input.

As both the Legendary 707 and 727 now can be had for 10 Euro´s, I think I will give them a try.

BR,
Anders

I seem to remember having trouble finding a decent panel.

The panel I always used when I was flyng Eric's bird was Ken Mitchell's version. If you search Flightsim.com for ken mitchell 727 you 'll find the original and two updates from Steve Southey.

[migman29]

Same here,I always seem to have grief getting HJG's stuff to play ball.

Their 727 just doesn't show in Fs9 at all(yes'I /dl'ed the correct base pack and two Dan Air paints for it).

If someone could just have a shufty at the config file for me I'd appreciate it:
