Ok, i made a test flight and i have a LOT of thing to address to:

- EPR is completly wrong, normal T/O EPR is about 2.00 for engines 1 & 3 and 2.02 for engine 2 (with eng 2 bleed / apu bleed off)

- VSI is indicating wrong

- There is no strobe-light switch (theyre linked to beacon), but there should be one

- The continous Ignition Switch moves back to ON when the cap is closed (should be the other way)

- Flight Director doesnt work at all, and the quickinfo from the FD-Mode switches reads "autopilot", which is wrong

- Autopilot cant be engaged (even with Y/D on)

- Door Lights only work in test-mode

- L/E Flap-Light goes amber, even when theyre fully deployed (e.g. if you extend from 15° to 30°)

- The right Pitot-Heat operates both of them (left & right), but light stays on (which would be correct, but left AC would read 0 / if you operate the left alone, AC still reads 0)

- The green Standby-Hydraulic-Light doesnt come on when Alternate-Flap System is used

- Temperature Control Panel (means all switches) dont work

- When CSD switches are moved to "Rise", the readings go off-scale

- Engines are indeed too powerful!

- Pitch Trim Wheel turns way to slow, Pitch Trim itself moves to fast


Flightdynamics seem to be ok. And it really lacks of some real 727 sounds (in- and outside)!!!  :-/

I hope that you guys from CS will address those bugs! Otherwise its not going to be any fun to fly this wonderful bird!

And if I can help in any way, just let me know. Im not a real 727-Pilot. But Ive made a many hours on the Dreamfleets 727, which still is the best simulated 727 the FS-Pilot can have, and i know this bird by mind.  ;)
