FS2004 ATA Boeing 757-200

This special release commemorates the 25th Anniversary of the ATA Boeing 757-200, featuring Rolls-Royce engines and detailed finishes that replicate the registration N520AT. Built by the Project Open Sky team and skillfully repainted by Jun Kazama, this freeware package includes a complete base model tailored for FS2004 and captures the distinctive characteristics of the real narrow-body twinjet introduced by Boeing in the early 1980s.

Technical Highlights and Notable Elements

• External Reflections – The exterior surfaces use dynamic shine effects, accentuating the smooth metallic finish.
• Cockpit Visualization – Choose between a wingview model or a fully realized virtual cockpit (VC). (Wingview refers to an interior viewpoint that aligns with the wing’s position.)
• Interactive Cabin Features – Operational passenger doors and cargo hatches, plus visible 3D flight attendant models within the cabin.
• All Standard Animations – Functional control surfaces, landing gear deployment, and other routine movements are included.
• Authentic FDE – The flight dynamics have been developed using verified performance data, ensuring accurate handling of the 757-series profile, including variants of the C32A type.
• Precisely Modeled Airframe – Dimensions and engine parameters reflect genuine Boeing specifications.
• Performance Consistency – Fuel consumption rates, thrust output, and climb behavior match real-world documentation, with adjustments for different engine variants.
• Robust Damage Modeling – Key structural areas, such as flaps, engines, tires, and struts, include specialized failure modes.
• Gauges and Controls – Instrument panels vary according to engine type, offering detailed readouts for Rolls-Royce powerplants.
• Landing Gear Variations – Alternate gear setups let pilots balance a realistic appearance and flight performance in the simulator.
• Comprehensive Operations Manual – The package provides performance charts, speed references, and procedural guides for different flight phases.
• Advanced Lighting – FS2004-specific illumination effects deliver a convincing night environment, highlighting wing and fuselage details.

Implementation Steps

1. Extract the package contents, then move the folder labeled “Aircrafts” into your main FS2004 Aircraft directory.
2. Copy the included gauge file into your FS2004 “Gauges” folder.
3. Transfer the supplied effects to the FS2004 “Effects” folder.

If you intend to use the virtual cockpit (VC), acquire the corresponding VC texture set. Afterwards, open aircraft.cfg and insert the letters “VC” after the “model=” line. This adjustment switches from the wingview version to the VC configuration.
