FlightSim Studio latest update v1.0.5 for their B727 Freighter MSFS brings several significant improvements and fixes. The exterior model has been enhanced with new icing effects, more detailed horizontal stabilizers, and a refined thrust reverser design typical of the -9 engine version. A cargo smoke detector has also been added, and issues with taxi thrust have been corrected, as the previous version required too much power to get moving. Additionally, various hydraulic and duct pressure system issues have been addressed.
Key bug fixes include resolving issues with INS DME position updates, the slats animation, and the A/T not idling at 30 feet. Improvements have been made to nosewheel steering, the auto glide slope behavior, and the alignment of trailing edge flaps and ailerons. The GNS-XLS system is now undergoing internal testing, with a special surprise teased for the end of November.
