Meet Boeing 727
Boeing developed the 727 after the 707, arranging three engines around the rear fuselage and a high T-tail. The first flight took place in 1963, with service following in 1964. Its elaborate high-lift wing supported the programme's airport-access ambitions.
The -100 and longer -200 have different proportions, while freighter conversions add another role. In the cockpit, a flight engineer and period autopilot installations create a very different workflow from a modern 737. The simulator developer documents which installation its aircraft represents.

Period autopilots and hydraulic flight controls
FlyJSim's 727 v3 documentation distinguishes FD108 and SP150 autopilot installations. It also describes custom control-surface behaviour for hydraulic pressure, blow-down and standby operation. Those details help explain the aircraft as a period trijet with its own systems, rather than a modern Boeing cockpit behind analogue instrument faces.
