It is.
Next to the base pack, I have eight or ten different aircraft folders for a few common 727 configurations. Each repaint I've installed was checked against the real aircraft in terms of features (hush kits, nose brakes, engine model, avionics and weights, etc...) and put into its own aircraft folder, if necessary. In each aircraft folder, with the exception of the repaint specific textures, everything else links back to the base folder where the actual model, panel, sound, etc...files reside. [Fltsim.x] entries for a repaint have to be changed or amended in places or the paint won't work. Ditto for the texture.cfg. Do not use the one from the repaint. If a new 727 variation is required, a new model folder has to be built from the config file repository in the base folder and the appropriate aircraft.cfg template has to be adapted to the new variation before the associated repaint can be installed.
It is comparatively exhausting to set up and maintain, even for me (not gonna lie), but it's the only way to avoid wasting hard drive space while providing as many realistic 727 configurations as possible. It will at least allow you to have National's/Pan Am's anemic -7A powered -200 models coexist with some later -200 series freighter conversions with uprated MTOW and newer engines like the -15 or -17AR.
There is, of course, the possibility of a "ready to go" package with Tom's default paints, but I figure that the long winded, steep road is much better in teaching users the intricacies of configuring and maintaining their 727 variations.
But once you're past that, everything in the simulator is business as usual.

I would love to see Mikko Maliniemi Maule package in FSX native version.
Rancho JEN's Cessna C-152 taildragger. As much as I like Didier Lagaffe's C-150K Tundra taildragger, I still have a soft spot for R-JEN's as I actually managed to create a paint scheme that looked pretty good on it.
Being a fan of low 'n slow flying, I'm a big fan of ultralights in FS, and there was a nicely rendered RANS S-12 Airaile that I really liked. Oddly, it didn't include any figures - pilot or passenger - on board.
A bit O/T, but one thing I really miss from FS9 are some Ontario sceneries that I flew out of or into frequently; Picton, Bancroft, Peterborough, and Haliburton-Stanhope. They'd all been nicely rendered in FS9 but haven't been recreated for FSX.

Actually, two series of planes, would be the old prop liners from Jens B. Kristensen, though we have some those from good developers now, like the Argonaut, and the Hauke Keitel models. I liked that they made those old, rare propliner/cargo planes, which we're finally starting to get more of for FSX.
Aeroworx B200 Super King Air - needs serious panel work which has not yet been successful in FSX IMHO - sadly missed....

Just started this today and yes, I got Mikko's permission to convert it to FSX native. In no hurry to get them done as I have other priorities at the moment, plus I'm a one man show. Been wanting to convert Mikko's Maule into FSX since the early days of FSX and Mikko doesn't have the source files any longer, so I'm running them through MCX and Blender to spit out an OBJ file which I am basing the working models from in 3DS Max. Everything will be original from the last release in 2003 including VC, so no changes whatsoever to be done, except adding the missing propeller disc which is lost during the conversion from MCX to OBJ. So there is hope
I'm with the FAA and I'm here to help you.....................Now gimme a hug!

Wow And thanks. Take your time no rush but I am looking forward to these.
Thank You euroastar350, very much for doing this This package is must have, like Miltons aero commanders and other his work

Vortex,
You said: ''The one aircraft I really miss the most in FSX is the Pilot's "Boeing B314 - The Clipper".
It's over at Simviation: Link: http://simviation.com/1/download?fil...p&fileId=19745 . There is also an update / patch.
The plane I miss most in FS9 is the Helio H-295 Courier 'Jar' (orig for FS98) by Chris Lampard. I fliped the textures and flew it in FS9. Lost it in a hard drive crash. Here is pic.
