FlightSim Studio has just released the much-anticipated passenger variant of the Boeing 727 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Following the release of the cargo variant last summer, users can now take to the skies with the passenger version of this three-engined aircraft.

The first Boeing 727 entered service in 1964. Developed after the larger Boeing 707, this aircraft was designed to meet the demand for short-haul flights. There were two passenger variants: the Boeing 727-100 and the longer Boeing 727-200. Additionally, a cargo version of the aircraft was introduced. The Boeing 727 was in production from 1962 to 1984, with a total of 1,832 units built. It has been used by various airlines worldwide across commercial, government, military, and private sectors. The aircraft became an icon thanks to its distinctive three-engine design, making it recognizable around the globe.

The FlightSim Studio B727 Passenger is packed with features that enhance the flying experience. The exterior boasts detailed PBR textures, custom animations, 3D lighting, and a variety of custom liveries. The interior includes a fully equipped cockpit designed for passenger operations, a custom cabin, tailored night lighting, and an extended EFB (Electronic Flight Bag).

The flight dynamics have been developed by a real pilot, ensuring a high level of realism. System-wise, the aircraft is equipped with a comprehensive flight engineer panel, a custom SP-150 autopilot, and custom logic for the APU, GPU, generators, and more. For navigation, users can choose from five options: classic, retro, modern standard, modern realism, and futuristic. The sound package accurately replicates the JT8D-9 engine, contributing to the immersive experience.

The add-on aims to be a detailed and authentic recreation of the iconic airliner.
