The latest update v1.0.4 for B727 Freighter MSFS by Aerosoft and FlightSim Studio, brings a range of improvements and fixes. Key enhancements include cockpit updates such as new decals, a gear lever, and the removal of the copilot tiller. Exterior metallic effects have been corrected for better compatibility with third-party liveries, while a new flight model improves takeoff ease, as well as roll and yaw behavior, bringing it closer to real-world performance. Additionally, the parking brake and EGT simulation during startup have been refined for more realistic behavior.
The update also includes numerous bug fixes, addressing issues like DC Meter voltage behavior, engine shutdown glitches, and transponder control. Flight model improvements include more stable pitch during approach, heavier roll and yaw, and increased drag. Other notable improvements involve enhanced hydraulic simulation, better parking brake logic, and improved external lighting and engine smoke effects. This update sets the stage for upcoming features, including the GNS-XLS flight management system, which is now in internal testing.
