[WIP/REL] SCAG Boeing 727-200 - Prop Pack Released

[joelyboy911]

What exactly is wrong with it? I used the textures RustyXL sent me and tested them on the model he sent me. It worked fine for me...

[[Delta ²k5]]

Great to see myself on a plane again good work!

[KoV Liberty]

@Joel: We have discussed this in IM (as you know), pleas send me the tail piece. Thanks, Alex

@Delta: Lol, I knew you would like the livery! I just wish more people would comment on this project.

A new livery! Pacific Southwest Airlines.



The real life pic that I used can be found here. There are some obvious differences that I will fix. The tail alignment (not exactly the same as the tail slope degree), and the black on the front.

OMG PSA! I remember them well along with Western and Air Cal! great job on these classic liveries on this classic plane!  (Did you remember the PSA smile?)

[KoV Liberty]

The smile is coming...

@Delta: Lol, I knew you would like the livery! I just wish more people would comment on this project.

Yes, you're right. I think the reason that not much people post here is that they don't have a clue when it comes to aircrafts. Or they are even not interested in them I know this problem very good, because I'm making a Bell 407 Helicopter for GTA IV at the moment... There is also not much response on my updates at the community, but I'll finish it

Again great livery by the way

[Koekie01]

I would like to reply, but as Delta says not everyone is interested. I like them a lot, they are very good, but they're are old and used by airliners which I don't know. I think that's one of the mayor reasons not a lot of people reply to his project, but they will download it, because they look very, very good. My compliments!

I think you know some... FedEx, UPS and DHL.



The 727 is old, but good enough for cargo operations. Also some people use the 727 as some kind of business jet. Many 727 had been refitted with new winglets and new engines (727-200adv (RE) ). For example this nice one... she's still a beauty!

[firdausabdullah]

Yes, this is a beautiful airplane except for the noise never heard of the ones with new engines. A lot of cargo operator fly this airplane and one of them is a Malaysian owned Transmile Air Services, consider doing by any chance? I am having a problem putting its image here but the link is: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Transmile-Air-Services/Boeing-727-247-Adv(F)/1637544/L/

[Koekie01]

Yeah, ofcourse I know them.  But I mean the passenger airlines, they are all old liveries. For realism it's probably the best, but not everyone is waiting for old planes.

But you will have my download!

except for the noise never heard of the ones with new engines.

To reduce the noise of the old 727's they were first equipped with hushkits, but this wasn't the best solution. So many 727's were reengined wit Rolls - Royce Tay 651 engines. Before they were equipped with Pratt & Whitney JT8D - 15/17 or 17R engines (727-200 Advanced) and even before this happend they had  JT8D-1/7 or 9.

please compare:

Adv. (with hushkits): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruWN4TM3pRk

you can also see the difference when you have a look on the DHL engines and on Nomads (The silver "Pipes" at the end of the DHL are the mentioned hushkits)



the new ones are bigger

Btw. @KoV Liberty: Are you going to make the Nomads livery?

[KoV Liberty]

Thanks everyone. I just finished Peidmont.



Here is a RL pic.

@JPJ: PSA will have the smile, but it will be barely visible I think. Of course, I could be wrong.

@Delta: Yes, very true. And working on what for GTA? s this for the PC?

@Koekie: Very true. Thanks.

@Delta (2): I will BAT FedEx most likely. And maybe a private jet.

@Koekie (2): Some of the older people on the site would remember them. And they are good for old-time MDs (such as the Winding River Project).

@Delta (3): Yes, there is an extreme difference on these. And I may do the Nomads when I'm done. All depends.

[joelyboy911]

If rusty has given you the (if he's made it) the 727-100 model, you could make Donald Trump's private jet.

[KoV Liberty]

I could probably modify the -200 to look similar (in window #s, etc) to the -100.

[joelyboy911]

the main difference is the length  I can help you out there, but it would also require some modification of the textures. I can do this as well if you can't.

[Koekie01]

@Koekie (2): Some of the older people on the site would remember them. And they are good for old-time MDs (such as the Winding River Project).

You're right. 

Looking good!

@Delta: Yes, very true. And working on what for GTA? s this for the PC?

This one:


http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=435073

and yes, it's for PC... It's not completly done by myself. I convert it from a free Flight Simulator source.

I'd like to see the Nomads one because 1. It's an US Airline and 2nd: It's still flying this type of plane

[KoV Liberty]

@Joel: Yes I know is the length, but I can make it look similar to a -100.

@Delta: Wow! I think I may just have to get GTA IV for the PC to try this out. I ear the PC one is pretty good.

[portlandexpos04]

Love the old school liveries like PSA, Eastern and Piedmont.  Brings me back to my childhood!  Did AirCal fly 727s (I can't remember)?  That would be a cool one to see.   

[KoV Liberty]

@Portlandexpos: I don't know if they did, but once I'm done with DHL, I'm free to do my own liveries. One of which is my personal favorite (custom-made-by-me). And, I've finished Air France in its old livery! However, I previewed it in HD. I don't quite remember if Rusty is planning to do them in HD or not, but I would seriously reccommend he do it. The Z5 quality is slightly improved with the colors and Z6 looks amazing.



And the RL version of it. Also, Ive fixed the smile on PSA and will be showing it along with DHL when finished. Some of the liveries I plan to do are:

- A private jet or two (if I can get it right).
- AirCal (if one)
- Nomad
- C-22B (US Air Force/Atrubian Air Force )
-A special Budget livery of my own creation.
- UPS (I'll discuss this one with Rusty in case he has made it)
- Delta Air Lines Wavy Flag Tail (maybe)
- Delta Air Lines (newest tail)
- AirTran is also a possibility.

Whew! I better get crackin'!
