Nice shots Don. Always did like the 727. Wish we had a PMDG one for FSX.

Thanks! This is the HJG version. My son installed his old graphics card into my rig the other day. BIG difference. I am seeing things I have never seen before. I never saw the detail on the 727 that is actually there until now. This sim is getting better every day.

Nice stuff Don. I wish I had a son to do stuff like that to my old HP. The 727 is a favourite with me as well. Cheers Carm.  |

Nice landing - I can smell the rubber all this way across the Atlantic.

I wish there was a way to either turn the tire smoke down or to turn it off. It looks like I hit a damned baby powder truck on landing!

All that tire smoke reminded me of one time long ago when I was going for my ticket. I was doing circuits and bumps in a 120. This particular time I decided I would grease it on as I knew the CFI was at the field. I figured he would be impressed. Well,--- I did a greaser and was proud as a Peacock when I taxied up to the CFI.  He tore a strip off me a yard wide. !!!! Did I think all the club had to do was buy new tires for their A/C etc---- " I could hear those tires all the way up here" " You were not stalled when you landed, were you", you were still flying weren't you". He sure was pissed. I never ---- even by accident, tried that again. I still think of him when I see a lot of tire smoke on a landing.  Carm. PS. That man was an ex RAF Battle of Britain Spit vet. And the one of the nicest guys and one pilot I've flown with that, I felt totally safe with and total confidence in. |

It's best to take the parking brake off before landing. Saves rubber. |
