model.HK2 and HK.3 question

[burcham]

Guys -

I notice that the B727-200 ADV folder has three separate model files. Yet, none of the repaints I've downloaded (actually a LOT) use them.

Which repaints use these models? What are the differences between the 727s?

Thanks in advance for the info...

There are indeed 3 VISTALINERS B727-200 ADVC models .... as you've correctly observed .... and each of these is labelled as follows ....

MODEL

MODEL.HK2 (Stage 2 Hush-Kit)

MODEL.HK3 (Stage 3 Hush-Kit)

Each of these models are now currently assigned to the B727-200 ADVC textures hosted by HJG.

By far the majority of our B727-200 ADVC textures are assigned the standard non-HK equipped model .... "MODEL" .... featuring the original short exhaust tail pipe on each engine.

A number of our B727-200 ADVC textures are assigned the HK2 model .... "MODEL.HK2" .... and among which include all the HEWA BORA aircraft, both AEROSUR aircraft, both DHL freighters, and I think th CARGOJET ITL feighter as well .... among others which feature the long FED EX type exhaust tail pipe on each eangine

1 only B727-200 ADVC texture is so far assigned the HK3 model .... "MODEL.HK3" .... the AIR ALGERIE aircraft featuring the daisey petal type exhaust tailpipe on each engine.

Here's a much earlier posting of mine which introduced these models and was intended to explain the differeces relating to each of the VISTALINERS B727 models we host here ....

That should help you out .... I'm sure !

Is there an accurate imitation showing for a FEDEX B727 Hush kit installation commonly used by FedEx on its jets still in service as well as other customers who purchased and installed this mod?

Thanks

The HK2 model was built by Eric CANTU/VISTALINERS to represent precisely that particular configuration .... the long FED EX type nacelle exhaust pipe.

As may be observed per imagery accompanying the forum link in my first response above.
