Although I don't have a TWA paint for her, have really started to like this XCrafts payware E175 I picked up on a sale over the Holidays.  In my non-commercial-pilot-passenger-only-experience, the sim 'feels' appropriate for her regional jet status and can be quite challenging in weather and cross wind landing.

That is one fine picture!

I really like the older paint schemes ... all the new boring military gray stuff may be great for camouflage, but it sure don't do a thing for PR or pzazz!

I'm using the kACars free with my X-Plane 11.
It's been a while since I did that install, but I think all I had to do was to use XUIPC instead of the old FSUIPC.  Works just like it does in FSX / P3D.  I do have to right mouse click on it an select "run as administrator", but that is due to WinBlows 10.

Try a google search for kacars x plane 11.

I have the v2 version, and I looked at the receipt and it does say "study level".  I think I just have mine set to make it easier to get going.  I've only been in the XP11 since Christmas of last year.  A lot to learn ... but I do like the better 'feel' of the flight dynamics and how the outside world moves more realistically.  I run a custom rig that uses the NVidia surround features to stretch 3 displays into a 5780x1200 main monitor.  Love the sensation of speed during takeoff and landing ... and the way the sim responds to throttle inputs.

I also have the Wilson 707 and L-1011 which are a blast.  My next foray is to look at the X-Life Traffic.  I do miss my custom traffic I had in P3D.

Which 727 is that? 

I have the FlyJSim for XP11 which is not study-level, but is somewhat the level of complexity scales pretty good.

With a maximum push to get supplies to people in need, there sometimes is a shortage of pilots with available hours to keep the chain moving.  Received a request in the KLAX office for 727 pilots.  Gladly offered some service.

Position and hold for a short hop KCLT-KMYR:
