FlightSim Studio has released the Boeing 727-100 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024.
The Boeing 727-100 is the original, shorter-fuselage variant of Boeing’s 727 trijet, an aircraft that played a major role in shaping short and medium-haul jet travel from the 1960s onward. The 727-100 first entered service in 1964 with Eastern Air Lines and quickly became a workhorse for carriers across North America, Europe, and beyond.
FlightSim Studio’s Boeing 727-100 package features the standard Passenger model, a dedicated Freighter, and the upgraded Super 27-100 Passenger. The 727-100 comes with all the features of the previous 727-200 Freighter, Passenger, and Super 27 aircraft. It is also a complete package – one product, one purchase, with no separate packages needed.
You can purchase FlightSim Studio’s Boeing 727-100 package for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024 from Contrail for £57.43.
If you own the FlightSim Studio 727-200 Freighter, Passenger or Super27 from Contrail, Aerosoft or other third-party stores, you are entitled to a special discount of 20% off. The discount will be applied automatically during checkout.
