FS2004 Boeing House Colors 767-400(ER)

This freeware Boeing 767-400ER package showcases the signature Boeing House Colors while incorporating a high-detail Gmax model created by iFDG. Enthusiasts can explore a twin-engine widebody design known for efficiency, medium- to long-haul capabilities, and a balanced passenger capacity. Repaint work was completed by Ben Jones, delivering an exterior finish that faithfully represents Boeing’s distinctive livery for this 767 variant. Below, you will find comprehensive information regarding features, installation steps, and repaint guidelines for this enhanced FS2004 release, presented in Fly Away Simulation style.

Key Visual and Operational Elements

Advanced Animation: This model incorporates full control surface motion, rolling landing gear assemblies, and realistic thrust reversers. It also features flexing wings that respond dynamically during flight.

Lighting and Texture Effects: Reflective effects, FS2002-style illumination, and dynamic shine highlight the exterior, while the cockpit region supports refined texturing.

Structural Overview: The design leverages Gmax geometry for accurate fuselage contours, wingspan details, and compressing gear functionality. In addition, the package includes a 3D flight attendant figure visible through the cabin area.

Flight Dynamics: Aerodynamic precision was implemented with attention to twin-engine performance, stability, and handling—critical factors for simmers desiring authentic 767 behavior in a virtual environment.

Insights on the 767-400ER Series

The Boeing 767-400ER is an extended-range variant within the 767 family. Its widebody configuration allows comfortable seating for mid-sized passenger loads, fulfilling the demand between the 757 narrowbody and the bigger 777. Boeing’s lineup also includes the 767-300ER and freighter adaptations, each benefiting from similar aerodynamic innovations and avionics enhancements used across the range. Cargo models popular with logistics carriers share the same structural platform for efficiency and operational flexibility.
