Despite releasing an excellent aircraft last month, developers FlyJSim has updated their 727 Series Professional 3 with a range of fixes and general improvements for the user. The primary focus area of this update are on mach hold and tape movements, the leading edge flaps not deploying when using the alternate flap and visuals on the aft cargo door. Further to general fixes, the team have added a brand new maintenance system for the tires. If you’re a pilot that likes to land firm, you may need to rethink your style as if you land too hard or heavy, prepare to pop a tire or collapse your gear (and have a meeting with tea no biscuits with your manager).
There’s a nice range of improvements in the free update from the team, so waste time no more and download the update to the plane we enjoyed very much.
You will need to grab the Skunkcrafts updater to download and apply update 3.1809.1125 to your 727 Series Professional V3.
Here’s the full change log courtesy of their Facebook post.
