Looks great, Harald.  Were you able to get the Dreamfleet panel working again, or are you using a different panel?

From your classic Twinjet to this classic Trijet...Great shots, Harald, and nice contrails!

And, where are you heading...some "exotic" destination...🙂...?

Unfortunately, not. I use the TDS model now, merged with Captain Sim's 2D panel (bought it some years ago just for this purpose). This still doesn't work perfect, but is useable and has some potential for improvement.

Not that exotic: I flew from Berlin to Madrid via Cologne. Heading the Canaries and perhaps Africa...

That's a bit more like it Harald. I was expecting a few more screens....if not a full flight set. 😎

Especially love the second shot in this set.... wonder why? 😁 (btw you only have taxi lights on....)

Thanks Ed... I rested too long at the Tupolev. Still a lot to practice with the Boeing to renew my skills, and may it be which lights to toggle and untoggle.

More screens to come the more I get routine with the 727 again!

I guess it has something to do with this one:

Nice trip so far, Harald! Good AI aircraft seen around, as usual...

And, Africa sounds good!

Thanks P_7878 again. Africa correlates with new E. Mwandosya freeware.

Edna, go easy on Harald, Looks like his krueger flap landing lights are on in the last pic.

( edit ) Oops, I see now... previous pic... those are runways turn off lights...

Harald, please continue with my beloved 3-holer pics! Never mind Edna...:laugh:

I asked Hiroshi to separate the runway turn off lights from the taxi lights..... he said No. I asked him to turn the Number 1 & 3 engines nose up by three degrees..he said No. Looks like I have to model my own aircraft. 😄

More threeholer pics please Harald! 😍

Thanks NWATech and Patrick for commenting!

As written above, I have to get familiar with the 727 again after some years of flying other planes (it was once when the change from WinXP to Win7 made my Dreamfleet 727 unusable. Without these problems, I would have continued flying it...). Beside pressing the correct "switches and knobs", I have the impression that the TDS model flies a little more unstable than the DF model used to; hence my landings look a Little strange so far. Maybe I just remember incorrect. Furthermore, whatever I tested and edited so far, I don't get the flap vortices to work which used to make my DF 727 landing shots so attractive.

But... one big advantage of the TDS model: I can chose between turning and flashing beacon lights!

Cool pics, Harald. I never thought you'd fly anything else but your beloved Tupolev 😉

Just out of interest, if you have bought a couple of years ago the CS B727, why do you prefer the TDS version? Does it fly better?

Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds

Thanks Bernd! I think I needed a change, at least for one winter season.

To tell the truth: I downloaded the TDS version first and looked for a suitable panel. After trying some freeware panels, I stumbled upon a promotion by CS and thought I could try it. I then looked at both the models in terms of visuals and preferred the TDS model, particularly due to some more modern animations. I especially like the wing flex and the turning strobe light. So I tried a merge and it works to my satisfaction. I honestly did no comparison in terms of flight dynamics.

Oh yes, rotating beacon! Not sure but Ed should have that going too on his L1011's. Double on those, upper & lower. :cool:
