Now you're talking 
Hmm, have you gone through the manual yet?  That's what we meant by "steep learning curve".

I got the download version and can treally find the manual. I have found the GA727 Tutorial, and the GA727 QRH. Both while informative do not exactly pinpoint what I need. This a/c is going to take a while to learn but I more than look foward to it.

Chad,
Glad you purchased the Dreamfleet 727 it is truly is one of the most rewarding aircraft to fly! What you are looking for is the 727 Aircraft Operation's Manual (GA727 AOM.pdf) file that should have installed in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Aircraft\Flight One 727\Manual & Checklists location. Most of the questions you have will be answered in the AOM but feel free to ask any questions.
Again welcome to the dark side!

Thanx chief, like I said I love it but it's going to be a bit before I think I am proficient.

Yep. If you're starting cold and dark, make sure that after you start all the engines, that you've got all three generators online and all three bus tie and field switches are closed.
