This comprehensive freeware package offers a high-fidelity Airbus A300B4-200 modeled by SGA (Stewart Global Aircraft) dressed in a refined Continental Airlines paint scheme by Steve Drabek. It merges all essential components into a single download for FS2004, ensuring quick installation and smooth setup without the need for additional files. Enthusiasts can immerse themselves in this classic wide-body experience while enjoying plenty of realistic animations and attention to detail.

Classic Design Influenced by Airbus Innovations

The Airbus A300B4-200 first entered commercial flight operations in the mid-1970s, pioneering twin-engined, wide-body travel. This simulation reflects the real-world aircraft's hallmark features, such as a spacious fuselage cross-section and advanced aerodynamic elements, including Krueger flaps (special leading-edge devices) for superior low-speed handling. By integrating these flight characteristics, the SGA model delivers an authentic recreation that pays tribute to a milestone in passenger aviation.

Key Features and Technical Highlights

Detailed Exterior Modeling

SGA's team implemented dynamic shine techniques that accurately replicate metal reflections under varied lighting. Pilots will notice the effect changing during different phases of flight, emphasizing shading along the fuselage and wing structures.

  • Full animations: These incorporate moving ailerons, spoilers, and flaps, reflecting actual surface deflections in real-time.
  • Opening passenger and cargo doors: Gain a close-up view of baggage loading and cockpit entry points.
  • Wing views: Internal vantage points that enable panoramic glimpses over the wings.

Realistic Livery Application

The included Continental Airlines repaint—brought to life by Steve Drabek—appears crisp and true to the carrier’s distinctive color palette. Although it is purely a freeware adaptation, it conveys the same style found on classic liveries with distinctive markings and logos meticulously placed for utmost authenticity.

Performance and Handling

By simulating the A300’s typical flight envelope and thrust-to-weight ratios, this model produces a balanced, responsive deck for both takeoffs and landings. The aircraft’s high-lift devices can be deployed with intuitive control inputs, mirroring the real system logic. Operators will appreciate that intermediate flaps can be selected smoothly, aiding short-runway operations while preserving stable airspeed management.

Compatibility and Setup

The package is structured to accommodate FS2004 specifications directly, with matching flight dynamics and minimal adjustment required. After adding the folder to your aircraft directory, the Continental A300B4-200 is instantly accessible within the sim’s aircraft selection menu. For optimum performance, review standard system requirements for FS2004 before loading this wide-body jet, ensuring sufficient memory reserves for detailed textures and complex geometry.
