I just got a 727 and i know there is no FMC in this plane but I was wondering how do I figure out which direction i need to go to get to my destination? Or how can I follow a certain path to my destination in this plane?
Thank You

If it was a payware 727 it probably uses INS to navigate... ➡

If it was freeware, I guess the only way to navigate without GPS is to follow navaids like VOR's 😉

First of all, congratulations on acquiring a 727. A whole new world of "hands on" navigation opens up. Forget GPS, forget FMC, forget computers. This bird requires planning a route on a chart, keeping notes, rechecking position every now and then and - finally - learning to operate an Inertial Navigation System. It will take a good long time probably, but I think it's worth it.

Happy flying!
