ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual is designed to be a quick guide to the panel and its features.
It's not intended to be a comprehensive manual on 727 systems. I've tried to
make it light and easy reading - I don't like reading manuals myself.
Please glance through it.
Differences between this panel and the real aircraft will be noted in italics.

THANKS TO
Daniel Steiner for providing the FSSound module. Daniel has made the process of adding high quality sounds to gauges painless and enjoyable.
Wilco van Deijl for permission to use the GPWS warning sounds, specifically the Pull Up, Windshear, and Altitude Alert which come from the old GPWS 7.2 adventure set for FS98.
And all of you for the testing and feedback.
HOW THIS PANEL WAS MADE
Gauges were programmed with MS Visual C++ 6.0 Standard, while the artwork and photo editing were done in Paint Shop Pro 6 and Gimp 1.2. It was developed on an Athlon XP2400+, 5700LX 128MB, SB 5.1, WinMe/RH9.
