Tom Ruth's 727 panels use radios with standby radios. Edit your aircraft config to match the radios used by your panel. We recommend 2D panels from Historic Jetliners Group (HJG) or Thomas Ruth.

Visit our Facebook page or forum for more details or help with customizing your own choice of 2D panel/virtual cockpit. Otherwise you will lose the custom xml animations and programming, and the aircraft will revert to “Default Animation Mode” where the light effects get unrealistic, no self-illumination (cabin light effects, beacon and strobe ‘splash’ effects), etc. Should you find yourself flying a particular model often, feel free to replace your main 727’s aircraft.cfg and “.air” file with one of the alternates.ĭue to the complex nature of the custom xml and panel files, should you choose to merge your own 2d panel (or virtual cockpit – FSX) it is important to keep the original TDS utility panel and associated xml files intact within the panel folder and panel.cfg file. The utility panel may be opened by simultaneously pressing SHIFT and 7.Īdditionally, a “Flight Dynamics” folder is included in the base package with different flight characteristics for a few of the variants. Or simply “comment out” (//) the panel.cfg entry for the smoke system.Īs with all TDS aircraft, Hiroshi Igami created a customized “Utility Panel” to allow specific control of the Advanced Lighting System and Ground Equipment/Door operation. Should you choose not to use the automated smoke, you can remove any of the associated smoke files (“db72smoke.fx” from ‘Effects’ or remove the “TDS_Smoke” xml gauge from the panel/Tds_727_util (or Tds_727F_util) folder). It is not necessary to push “I” to activate. The TDS B727 includes an automatic smoke system developed by David Biggar, which will activate at a specific fuel-flow rate. Prepar3D installation will be very similar. The “tds_smoke” bitmap should now also be in your Microsoft Flight Simulator X/Effects/texture folder. Place the contents of the Effects folder (except for the included readme.txt file) into your Microsoft Flight Simulator X/Effects folder. Inside of the TDS_B727-200 folder will be an Effects folder. The “tds_smoke” bitmap should now also be in your Flight Simulator 9/Effects/texture folder.įSX - Place the included “TDS_B727-200” or “TDS_B727-200F” folder into your Microsoft Flight Simulator X/SimObjects/Airplanes directory. Place the contents of the Effects folder (except for the included readme.txt file) into your Flight Simulator 9/Effects folder. FS2004 – Place the included “TDS_B727-200” or “TDS_B727-200F” folder into your Flight Simulator 9/Aircraft directory.
