Quesiton about the 727-100

I got the old Exterior 200 for FSX, which is basically the 727, with the 737-800 default 2d cockpit, minus the altitude hold, my question is, how much more complicated  is the new 727 version?

it is not as complicated as a modern jetliner would be, as there is no electronic or digital navigation systems to learn.... as well as no FMC.  It can be a bit tedious to learn the aircraft itself, such as the different systems.  But outside of that, very fun plane to fly.  Be warned though, there is no autopilot as such... only a altitude and heading hold, which also can be a bugger to figure out.  The next post may be different again, i guess it all depends on personal experience

I love the FSX 727!  The VC is light years better than an aliased default panel.

- If you start your flights with the engines running (as I do) the only system that you really must figure out - ir crash - is the fuel crossfeed, which is well-documented in the forum.

- The autopilot for version 2.3 works great if you have Acceleration installed.  If you don't have Acceleration, the Captain has just released a temporary fix.

Complexity would not be a reason to avoid this aircraft...
