FlightSim Studio AG has released their Boeing 727-200 Passenger variant for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This release follows their previously available freighter version of the same aircraft. The B727-200 Passenger edition was released on April 17th, 2025. Microsoft Flight Simulator Marketplace users will need to wait longer, as that platform’s release is scheduled approximately 2-3 months after the initial launch, according to the developer’s announcement. The aircraft is currently optimized for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, while a version compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is reportedly under development. You can purchase the B727-200 Passenger ⭐ here on Flightsim.to.
Owners of the 727-200 Freighter version qualify for a 20% discount when purchasing this new passenger variant, with the discount automatically applied during checkout at supported retailers. However, FlightSim Studio AG notes that this special pricing will not be available through the Microsoft Flight Simulator Marketplace when the product eventually launches there. The passenger edition is a standalone product and does not require prior ownership of the freighter version to function.
Aircraft Features
The Boeing 727-200 Passenger variant includes several features. The exterior model features textured surfaces using PBR (Physically Based Rendering) technology. The aircraft includes animations that represent typical passenger operations. The package includes over 20 airline liveries representing various operators such as Lufthansa, PanAm, Alitalia, American Airlines, Air Canada, Olympic, Iberia, Southwest, United Airlines, ANA, and British Airways (Comair).
