Diego Garcia to the Maldives

Featured Replies

Diego Garcia freeware, Maldives from Aerosoft, P3D 2.5

 

Our 727 might not only be the slowest, but most probably also the oldest plane parked here

# 4 is just gorgeous.

And who cares for the guys who fly in with their Citation or Learjet. The 727 rules, no matter how old she is.

Thanks a lot, gents and Harald, you are correct: the 727 rules (almost as much as your Tu-134 :smile: )

Wow what a co-incidence, I flew this route (but the opposite direction, Male > Diego Garcia), just a couple of days ago.   And there was me thinking it was such a 'far out' route that no-one else had probably flown it ha ha!

 

Great pics!

almost as much as your Tu-134

By the way, I came to the Tu-134 after my beloved Dreamfleet 727 for FS2004 did have flaws under Win7. Some pilots fly it without complications, but I never solved these problems satisfactorily. So I know what joy it is to ride this plane.

Did you ever try the CS 727, Harald; they have a version for FSX and FS9. The one I have used here is the FSX version, ported over with EMT to P3D 2.5

No Bernd, I haven't. The CS version for FS9 is said to be much inferior towards the new FSX version as well towards the old Dreamfleet model.

 

The HJG version is still an alternative to try...
