FS2004 Polish Airlines Boeing 767-25D(ER)

This freeware package offers an authentic Boeing 767-25D(ER) experience in Polish Airlines livery, integrating a highly detailed iFDG Gmax model with advanced animations and other faithful design elements. Developed as a complete install for Fly Away Simulation, it includes custom liveries from Ben Jones as well as dynamic features that capture the notable characteristics of the 767 airframe. Enthusiasts of virtual aviation will appreciate the realistic control surfaces, wing flex, and other technical refinements present throughout this rendition, reflecting the engineering excellence of Boeing’s 767 series.

Distinctive Airframe Details

iFDG has meticulously designed this 767-200 model to bring out a variety of operational elements. Control surfaces, such as ailerons and flaperons, move independently and accurately. Rolling wheels, thrust reversers, and dynamic textures underscore the realism. The flex-wing structure (which ensures more efficient lift in actual flight) is captured in the simulator model, adding an extra layer of immersion.

This rendition features full FS2002-style lighting and compressing landing gear, enhancing overall authenticity. The texture set, repainted by Ben Jones, exhibits reflective qualities and fine detail. Additionally, the cabin area includes a 3D attendant figure, emphasizing visual fidelity.

Polish Airlines Legacy

Polish Airlines (often recognized as the flag carrier of Poland) has long operated Boeing aircraft across numerous routes. In reality, the 767 series enhanced the airline’s capacity for intercontinental flights, offering reliability and comfortable cabin arrangements. This virtual adaptation attempts to replicate Polish Airlines’ unique livery and operational flair, honoring the airline’s significance in both European and global travel.

Technical Focus on the 767 Family

The twin-engine Boeing 767 family is known for its performance and adaptability in mid-to-long-range operations. It sits between the company’s narrow-body 757 line and the larger 777 models. The series includes passenger configurations (such as the 767-200ER, 767-300ER, and 767-400ER) and a dedicated freighter variant. This particular 767 Freighter platform—derived from passenger versions—incorporates advanced avionics, refined aerodynamics, and enhanced propulsion systems, ensuring lower noise levels and improved fuel efficiency.

Notable Simulator Integrations

• Full animation of all major flight surfaces and landing gear compression.
• Reflective textures rendering dynamic shine and realistic surface responses.
• Opening doors and thrust reverser operations.
• High-accuracy flight dynamics representative of the 767 series.

Repainting Guidelines

The developers encourage custom liveries while maintaining certain rules:

• Notify the iFDG team of any new airline repaint plans and intended upload location.
• Avoid profiting from these textures.
• Always include the original documentation, including this file.
• Respect the intellectual property of iFDG and other creators.
• Obtain permission if using textures originated by someone else.
• Virtual Airlines should provide their website address when submitting a sector-specific repaint request.

Contributors & Development Support

This project is credited to iFDG for the foundational Boeing 767-200 creation. Ben Jones supplied the Polish Airlines repaint. Technical assistance and insights were generously provided by:

• Robert Versluys (notable for his 757 FDE knowledge and Gmax input)
• Erez Werber (expanded Gmax support)
• Udo Lemmob (additional Gmax collaboration)
