FSS 727 - Sound Preview: APU Startup

Our 727 Freighter version for Microsoft Flight Simulator is in its final stage. Enjoy the sound of the APU startup from the Flight Engineers seat!

[@bennett_walters221]

ive been stuck playing xp11 ONLY for the 727. THANK YOU SO MUCH. My days of searching and refreshing every week to see if any dev. is making a 727 is over.....

[@forzaspeedster]

me for the 757, and also this will be great too, then I can prob ditch xplane if the a340 was made lol

[@TriJetSimPilot]

Me too lol

[@PeterESSA]

This looks great! I need a good 727 in msfs!

[@pandamisha]

That looks awesome! I wonder if FSS is considering 737-200 as well? That would be sooo cool!

[@SnaxDesAvions]

yes ! especially when we have absolutely no news on the 732 by Milviz since forever !

[@theworldofflightsim.1169]

Would love this! Do you know how much the 727-200 and 737-200 differ?

[@pandamisha]

@@theworldofflightsim.1169 I can think of few differences :D

[@skypiratez]

Sounds (and looks) very promising. Well done so far.

[@eltesso4910]

This looks pretty good! keep it up! can't wait to fly Aerosucre with 5 tons more like the real thing!

[@geley5285]

Only 5 tons overweight? You need to get those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers

[@eltesso4910]

@@geley5285 You are right! That’s just their regular SOP at this point

[@myZisfantastic]

Looks great to me! I've never flown a 727 in real life but some of my fellow FE colleagues did and they loved her. Thank you so much for bringing this legendary bird in MSFS which, at least for me, was not complete without her!

[@lvwpy]

Oh man, I need this so much!

[@maxdenhaag1]

I flew this bird with my dad back in 1998. I still have all the manuals I look forward to test it.

[@TheGabrieljk]

MADLADS! Great sounds for a great plane!

[@KittraMarino]

Wow! Just like I remember it. Can’t wait!

[@Conti1]

Can't wait to fly this, thank you.

[@flyt0Live]

Sounds as good as the flyjsim one, looking forward for this beauty!

[@ImagenNoReligion]

Looking forward to this one. Sounds great.

[@speedbrake22]

Just release it now pls :)

[@raphaelventura8465]

is the APU motor inside the cockpit???? it's too loud, I hope it gets tuned properly on the final product

[@TheSAfreak]

APU Motor is in near the main wheel well, this is pretty accurate to the real thing. It's not in the tail section like modern aircraft

[@transair27]

@@TheSAfreak exhaust above the RH main well

[@PedroOliveira-jy5pl]

Nice!! Hope to see a random failures generator!!

[@piedmonitor]

Sounds good, but from firsthand experience the APU is not that loud in the 727's cockpit. With the cabin and cargo doors open it is pretty loud, but not that loud. I know it's WIP, just saying.

[@ChaseB1896]

Why does the load gauge teleport to its position? The needle should smoothly move to the current load..

[@BoyHitman88]

omg finally a good 727!!!

[@CapiLeyton]

Excelente cuenten conmigo para tener este avión

[@SWAFanPilot]

This sounds fucking AMAZING!!!

[@taketotheskies6950]

I wonder how this 727 will compared to SimWorkStudios & FSReborn's 727.

[@jfavignano]

yesssssss

[@juancho420]

I'm interested in the 727-100 and the 727-200Adv

[@French28Pilot]

release date? Gps? Autopilot? NAV FOLLOW?

[@filipesiegrist]

I'm curious about how the navigation will be dealt in this aircraft. Will it have something like a retrofit GNX530 for GPS Navigation?

[@stairportsceneries1319]

Yes GNS530, INS and the modern GTN750

[@filipesiegrist]

thanks

[@popo864]

Nice

[@mauwalker]

The original whisperjet.

[@OY-KBA]

You should make a 747 400 or the 200 we really need a new jumbo since the standard 748i is boring

[@juancho420]

Pmdg is doing the -400 Justflight the -200

[@lvwpy]

@@juancho420 these are both outstanding news!

[@managed9348]

You have a lot of folks waiting on a E145…….

[@RuaanSilvaa]

Please tell me it’s going to be released on Xbox at day one! 🤦🏻‍♂️🙏🏻

[@Pato_Online2.0]

Do you intend to launch the 727 on the msfs2020 marketplace on PC?

[@fss-ag]

yes

[@Pato_Online2.0]

Yoooooo bro thanks 🎉🎉🎉

[@Wulfkai]

Will this also be released for the Xbox?

[@fss-ag]

That's definitely planned but will take a while

[@Pato_Online2.0]

The 727 will be realized for msfs2020? Somebody told me that he will be realized for msfs2024. It this true?

[@transair27]

no the freigther out end July they say

[@jjstevenz]

look at all you babies crying about an EJET on a 727 video wow man doesnt get much pettier than that

[@flywithtb5005]

Eargasm

[@Jannik_Stein]

Would you really hear the APU like that in the Cockpit?

[@fss-ag]

Listen yourself ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/npu9nn98jtR7eM0

[@Jannik_Stein]

@@fss-ag impressive... where is the APU located?

[@stairportsceneries1319]

The exhaust is at the tail of the aircraft but the intake is in the wheel well of the main landing grear afaik

[@lvwpy]

I maintain E190s for a living, APUs are loud on regional jets since they're relatively small aircraft and you're close to the APU. Engines are almost deafening if you have the doors open. That's some aspect the sim fails to simulate properly.

[@lvwpy]

@@fss-ag The APU exhaust temp in your sound preview video ends up being too low at the end of the startup sequence (below green band) while in the link above, in ends up in the 400s.

[@ilm-def8920]

Been on many actual 727's on the flight deck with the AOPU running, this is NOT how they sound. These sounds are external. The flight deck is very quiet with both the APU and Engines running. Here is a sample of the cockpit: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqrRYaGfq6plabs

[@TheSAfreak]

Your video isn't really that different from this one.... they're both really loud. Only differnce I can see is in the FSS video the cockpit and I'm guessing exterior doors are open which would make the APU ignition a lot more apparent

[@bencalhoun8216]

Please release VNAV on the Ejets before you release the 727.

[@Rhinozherous]

It is way too loud... I cant believe the apu is that much audible in the cockpit.

[@TheSAfreak]

The APU is in the main wheel well, not in the rear like most modern aircraft. This is true to the real thing. Feel free to find irl videos

[@lvwpy]

Yes they're, MSFS generally fails to properly convey the loudness of jet engines. I think FSS got it right.

[@TheSAfreak]

@@lvwpy How would that be MSFS' fault? That's on dev to provide a good soundset

[@lvwpy]

@@TheSAfreak you're right, I meant that that's apparently a mistake most of the devs make at least in this sim.

[@dimanovorok90]

I don't understand how you could put an unfinished E-Jet on the market and now do another airplane. Either you do one thing very well, or you put out a lot of crap that nobody wants.

[@stacythomsen6226]

You do realize what the term “early access” means right?

[@432Point]

Yeah for real. How can steam games still in early access for 10 years? 😂

[@stacythomsen6226]

@@432Point Ok well like thats jsut stupid but lets take for example to lunar 767 being developed if they just released it right now, unfinished, wouldnt you call that early access? the E-jets development isnt super fast meaning that if they hadnt released it at all, it still wouldnt exist for another year or so so arent you glad you atleast have this?

[@razorseal]

Wish you guys kept concentrating on the E-Jet series and getting that done instead of starting a new project. Now we will end up with 2 unfinished products when this is released. E-Jet has alot of work still to be done besides the FMS/VNAV... Many systems aren't modeled...

[@portilho1310]

the team working on the 727 is not the same that the one working on the E-Jet

[@flight3xxx]

​@@portilho1310 So all the more reason they should have taken this team, and put it towards improving their E-Jet, rather than grabbing it all at once

[@lvwpy]

The 727 is going to be released this month as a finished product. Their "new project" are actually the E-Jets.

[@rydawg7629]

How's the VNAV in the Ejets? Maybe finish that first?

[@maffarick]

Guys, release version 1 of the E-Jets before releasing this I BEG YOU!

[@ender2gold693]

Different team working on it

[@razorseal]

@@ender2gold693 So assign that team to it to speed up the process? Now we're going to end up with 2 unfinished planes.

[@TheSAfreak]

@@razorseal Adding more people to a project doesn't speed things up. You can't ask 2 people to drive the same car at the same time. The 727's team has no bearing on the speed of work of the e-jets development. They already said this

[@flight3xxx]

@@TheSAfreak bullshit

[@sethr371]

This is cool and all but get the E jets out. Merge the teams and stop starting other stuff I beg you. Money pool running dry I get it but Jesus please just give us the full EJET.

[@razorseal]

Yeah... their excuse for we're going to wait for FS24 is kinda weird. But not going to wait on this one? Join up the teams, get your 1st product out instead of having 2 half assed products out. this sucks....

[@sethr371]

@@razorseal it’s so insane man. Just one empty date after the other.

[@sethr371]

@@razorseal As a community we can’t allow this to keep happening. Half assed releases with the promise of making it better later.

[@BjrnJnsson-ro1ni]

If you don’t like their products then just don’t buy it and shut up. No one says that you have to get all their addons. If you want the E JETS so much then just get it now and fly with it. It’s getting better with every update. It takes time to make a product that’s not trash and it is their right to start making another one if they want so. I am really exited for this one but you don’t have to be

[@TheSAfreak]

Adding more people to a project is not going to suddenly make development faster. Two people can't work on the same piece of code, model or texture at the same time. At a certain point time becomes your constraint not development effort
