Boeing 727-200 Advanced

These aircraft are the series of Boeing 727 which are available to buy from FlyJSim. Today, I will be reviewing this aircraft, the Boeing 727-200 Advanced.

The Boeing 727-200 is a stretched version of the 727-100. The 727-200 is 20 feet (6.1 m) longer (153 feet 2 inches; 46.69 m) than the −100 (133 feet 2 inches; 40.59 m). A ten-foot (3-meter) fuselage section ("plug") was added in front of the wings and another ten-foot fuselage section was added behind them. The wingspan and height remain the same on both the −100 and −200 (108 and 34 feet (33 and 10 m), respectively). The original 727-200 had the same max gross weight as the 727-100; however, as the aircraft evolved, a series of higher gross weights and more powerful engines was introduced along with other improvements, and, from line number 881, 727-200s are dubbed −200 Advanced. The aircraft gross weight eventually increased from 169,000 to 209,500 pounds (76,700 to 95,000 kg) for the latest versions. The dorsal intake of the number two engine was also redesigned to be round in shape, rather than oval as it was on the 100 series.

The first 727-200 flew on July 27, 1967 and received FAA certification on November 30, 1967. The first delivery was made on December 14, 1967 to Northeast Airlines. A total of 310 727-200s were delivered before giving way to the 727-200Adv in 1972.

In the Boeing 727-200 Advanced, MTOW and range is increased. Also, there is cabin improvements.

The aircraft I am reviewing comes with 3 liveries, but many more are purchasable for any of the aircraft in the FlyJSim series. There are also some freeware liveries.

As you can see, the aircraft I am reviewing has an Alitalia livery. This is a freeware livery downloadable for the aircraft here.

This aircraft is beautifully made. It has flexible wings, and has a very nice 3d cabin, where all the buttons are pressable and pushable, even at the engineer's seat.

TU 204-214

This is the TU 204-214 for X-Plane 9 and 10.



The Tu-214 is also a variation of Tu-204 first flown on 21 March 1996. It is technically a Tu-204-200, one of the differences being that it is built by a different factory. Planes designated Tu-204 are produced in Ulyanovsk by Aviastar-SP; Tu-214 in Kazan by the Kazan Aircraft Production Association (KAPO). Both factories are independent from the Tupolev design bureau and have some control over the design of the variant they produce.



This aircraft is very nice and fun to fly. It comes with many nice liveries, which are shown below.

I would defiantly recommend this aircraft as it is very nicely made, and has a 2d and 3d cockpit, with the passenger cabin being nicely rendered.

Embraer ERJ 140

This is the Embraer ERJ 140 by 'danklaue'.

The ERJ 140 is based on the ERJ 145 with 96% parts commonality and the same crew type rating. The only significant changes are a shorter fuselage, a slightly derated engine and an increased range. At launch, Embraer estimated the cost of an ERJ 140 to be approximately US$15.2 million. The estimated cost of development of the ERJ 140 was US$45 million. The ERJ 135, with a service entry date of 1999, has 95% parts commonality with the ERJ 145, but is 11.7 feet (3.6 m) shorter.

This aircraft is very bad. On takeoff, as usual, the flaps are lowered depending on the length of the runaway. The airport I was taking off from was Heathrow, so I decreased the flaps by one notch. I saw that the stall speed moved down to 70 knots, which I found quite odd.

Later, when hurtling down the runaway, at 100 knots I encountered flap over-speed, which would not occur at that speed.

This aircraft has 4 liveries, but I would not get it, as it is very inaccurate.

Boeing 747SP

This is the Boeing 747SP for X-Plane 9 and 10. You do not need an account for the website linked to download this aircraft.

The Boeing 747SP is a modified version of the Boeing 747 jet airliner which was designed for ultra-long-range flights. The SP stands for "Special Performance". Compared with its predecessor, the 747-100, the 747SP retains its wide-body, four-engine layout, along with its double-deck design, but has a shortened fuselage, larger tailplane, and simplified trailing edge flaps. The weight saved by the shortened fuselage permits longer range and increased speed relative to other 747 configurations.

This aircraft is very good. The livery it comes with is very nice, and it only has a 2d cockpit.

Boeing 707

This is the Boeing 707 by 'rihardstuka'.

The Boeing 707 is a mid-size, long-range, narrow-body four-engine jet airliner built by Boeing Commercial Airplanes from 1958 to 1979. Versions of the aircraft have a capacity from 140 to 189 passengers and a range of 2,500 to 5,750 nautical miles (4,630 to 10,650 km).

This aircraft is very good, and comes with 2 liveries. Its 2d cockpit is very nice, and it flies nicely too.

The right wing fell off; therefore resulting in a crash.

Boeing 757-200

This is the Boeing 757-200 by 'skycycle'.

The Boeing 757 is a mid-size, narrow-body twin-engine jet airliner that was designed and built by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It is the manufacturer's largest single-aisle passenger aircraft and was produced from 1981 to 2004. The twinjet has a two-crew member glass cockpit, turbofan engines, a conventional tail and, for reduced aerodynamic drag, a supercritical wing design. Intended to replace the smaller three-engine 727 on short and medium routes, the 757 can carry 200 to 289 passengers for a maximum of 3,150 to 4,100 nautical miles (5,830 to 7,590 km), depending on variant. The 757 was designed concurrently with a wide-body twinjet, the 767, and owing to shared features pilots can obtain a common type rating that allows them to operate both aircraft

This aircraft is quite nice. It only comes with a 3d cockpit and no passenger cabin, but comes with 3 liveries.

Embraer 120 Brasilia

This is the Embraer 120ER Brasilia by 'sascha'.

After the success of the EMB-110 Bandeirante, Embraer began the development of their first transport category airliner in 1974. The so-called Family 12X comprised three models with modular concept designs: EMB-120 Araguaia, EMB-123-Tapajós and EMB-121 Xingu. EMB-121 was the sole 12X model effectively produced. Araguaia's name was changed to Brasilia in 1979 at the official launching of the project, when at a CAAA (Commuter Airline Association of America) convention at USA several suggestions from prospective operators were collected and incorporated to EMB-120 design. Thus, a completely new aircraft – no longer related to the 12X family – was launched. No common parts from EMB 121 Xingu were used, and the capacity was revised from 24 to 30 seats. Originally designed to utilise the new 1500SHP Pratt & Whitney Canada PW115 turboprop, it was later upgraded to the 1892 ESHP PW118.

This aircraft is quite nice. The cockpit is a little glitchy, and only has a 2d cockpit.

It only comes with one livery, but another is downloadable here. This livery is made by 'Ethan Porter'.
