727 RealDeal Edition

Dear Sim Community,

After two years of Sim-News and many thousands of lines about the most beautiful hobby in the world, the time has come: We enter a new field!

We are happy to announce the cruiselevel 727 RealDeal Edition for Microsoft Flight Simulator. We have created a team of excellent artists and programmers to bring you the 727 in an unprecedented simulation to Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Over 200,000 pages of documentation, long sessions with seven 727 real-world  pilots and techteam members plus several simulator sessions in South America went into the development of this high-fidelity add-on. To bring you a study-level version of the famous 727 to MSFS.

Join us on the journey as we push the limits of our hobby even further.

Release?
Soon™!
