This aircraft and manual are for entertainment purposes only. Not for real-world training.
Thank you for downloading the Tenkuu Developers Studio (TDS) Boeing 727. This aircraft is available as freeware, the authors of this aircraft do this as a hobby and for the Flight Simulator Community. If you paid anything for this aircraft, you got ripped off!
This manual is to be used as a guide to installing, customizing, how to use the features included with this aircraft, and tips for flying. This is not a pilots operating handbook, and does not include any tools used for flight planning.
This aircraft was tested on various computers running various add ons such as scenery, weather, replacement textures, etc. It was found to cause no damage on any computer. Tenkuu Developers Studio is not liable or responsible for any problems caused by downloading, installing, or using this package. Under no circumstances may this package be edited, recompiled, and redistributed, with the exception of the necessary edits for repaints.

Common Problems:
Panel problems, animation, exterior model issues, gear issues (all visual, the flight model is not affected)
The TDS727 uses several .xml gauges used to trigger animations and exterior features. These are included and already installed, ready for use, in the panel folder. The panel included is an edited version of the default Boeing 737 panel. If you edit or replace the panel.cfg that is included in this package then your aircraft will not work properly. If you chose to use a different panel, you must edit the panel.cfg and include information from the TDS 727 panel folder and .cfg files.

Wings not showing up
Due to the increase in file stealing, TDS has implemented new security to ensure that anyone who uses our aircraft know who the original author is and also showing that it is freeware. If your wings are not visible, then someone has removed certain lines from the aircraft.cfg.
In the aircraft.cfg file, there is a line that says ?title=? This line MUST include the following entry:

title=FREEWARE_(C)_TDS_01AUG2014 _721 +D00 +T8F40 [your aircraf airline name here] no braquets.

Utility Panel Guide:
The TDS Utility panel included in this package controls all of the ground service vehicles and equipment, as well as all of the aircraft lights. Some light switches, such as the Landing Gear and Strobe lights are tied to the default keyboard commands. Others, such as the Cabin Lighting, is only controlled by the Utility Panel. By default, this panel may be brought up by pressing SHIFT+8 at the same time.

Happy Landings!
Feliz Aterrizaje!
Bons pousos!
Joyaez aterrajes!
Ha noen fine landinger!
