Title: Super27-100?  Beta testing??
Post by phil29 on Feb 9th, 2009 at 3:16pm
At roughly 100 pounds under MTOW I was able to lift the 727-100 off the ground at LAX 25R ON A SINGLE ENGINE...  The 727 struggles, at best, to even maintain altitude on a single engine (its mostly a glider at that point), yet I am able to lift off?  Not only that, but with the same load with 3 engines I can climb at nearly 8500 fpm...  Am I missing something here?  When did the 727-100 become a rocket ship?  The engine models need to be retuned significantly, you are outclimbing 757's and MD80s...  Then we have reverse thrust..  I am able to powerback at 20+ knots, thats insane.

Aside from that, is there any news on when we can expect an update to fix the VSI?  Flying is impossible without an accurate VSI.  In fact, the failure of a static VSI warrents an emergency and immediately return to the nearest supportable airfield.  How can I come in on an 800fpm decent when a 1000fpm decent (according to the VSI) is over 7000fpm in reality?  How do I hold a steady 2000fpm climbout when the VSI needle is hardly budged?  

EDIT:  The airspeed indicator isn't working either.  Pressing Ctrl+Z in FSX gives an entirely different readout than what shows up on the ASI.
