FS2004 Atlas Jet International Boeing 757-200

This comprehensive freeware package for FS2004 offers a rendition of the narrow-body Boeing 757 in Atlas Jet International livery, fully developed by the Project Open Sky team, with paintwork contributed by Maho. It brings together a realistic flight model, detailed exterior visuals, and numerous immersive features that enhance virtual airline operations.

Technical Look at the Airframe

The Boeing 757 series is admired for its efficient twin-engine design, extended range, and short-runway capability. In this add-on, the creators emphasize precise geometry, accurate engine variants, and a sophisticated set of animations. The 3D cabin crew models, along with dynamic lighting, enrich cockpit and passenger cabin immersion. The developers include:

Model Designers

Lee Rosario, Albert Bouwman, C. Vincent Cho, Hiroshi Igami

Flight Dynamics

Highlighted Capabilities

• Multi-variant engine modeling: Equipped with different thrust maps and corresponding gauges.
• Realistic flight performance: Tuned from pilot data and performance charts for precise handling.
• Optional virtual cockpit: Includes a fully modeled flight deck if VC textures are downloaded.
• Animated features: Doors, cargo hatches, and cabin crew figures offer a dynamic visual experience.
• Accurate geometry: Dimensions align closely with actual Boeing 757 standards.
• Optimized lighting effects: Tailored for FS2004 with new illumination elements.
• Custom damage profiles: Covers various airframe areas including engines, flaps, and tires.

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Extract the download and move the resulting aircraft folder into your FS2004 “Aircraft” directory.
2. Place the provided gauge file into your main “Gauges” directory.
3. Copy any effect files into your simulator’s “Effects” folder.

Optional Virtual Cockpit Configuration

To fly with the immersive 3D cockpit, obtain the VC texture set from the developers and place them appropriately. Then locate the line model= in your aircraft.cfg and add “VC” (without quotation marks) right after that line. This switches from the wing view model to the fully rendered flight deck model.

Door and Cargo Operations

Below are the custom assignments for the Project Open Sky rendition of the 757-200:

• PAX Door 1: Shift + E
• PAX Door 2: Tailhook
• Standard Luggage Doors: Shift + E + 2
• Main Cargo Door: Wingfold

All design elements in this Atlas Jet International package reflect the dedication of Project Open Sky’s team. From the FDE adjustments by Warren C. Daniel to the textures pioneered by Maho, every part underscores the developers’ commitment to delivering an accurate simulation experience for FS2004. Enjoy this specialized Boeing 757 release and explore the versatile operations that the 757 platform is known for around the world.
