727's a-coming

[Bjoern]

As I've mentioned here and there, Tom Ruth is working on the 727 series at the moment. He documented the whole development process from the start as a guide for aircraft development newbies.

At the moment, he's "gauging up" the VC of the 727-100 and well, it looks fantastic!


Follow the thread here:

It's in german, but the screenshots speak for themselves.

You can betatest the exterior model here:

(Note: The 727 beta needs files from the default 737-800.)


There's no ETA and he'll be done when he's done.


I'll keep you posted should anything significant happen.

Is it to late to request freighter versions?

[robcap]

I'm impressed again, I might take up flying tubes!

Ist dieses payware oder freeware?

Danke,

Hi Navy Chief,

I think Thomas Ruth does freeware normally so I expect this will also be free.

The beta is not available, is there another location to download it from? Looks great from the shots, can't wait for the final product :ernae:

One of the best webcomics out there. Tatsuya is nothing short of a genius!

Is it to late to request freighter versions?

I wouldn't request anything. Tom does what he does and if he doesn't, he doesn't.


But yes, the -100 model already has a freight door cutout. I guess the same will apply to the -200.

The beta is not available, is there another location to download it from?

Nope, not that I know of.

Acoording to a little birdy...okay, that's a lie...according to Tom, the 727s are nearly ready. He's still finishing up the ADV 'though.


What you'll get intially:

100
100F
200
200F

With or without nose gear brakes, cascade vanes, deflector doors and hushkits.
