Experience a faithfully rendered Air France repaint tailored for the newly introduced Embraer 170 (Version 3) by Dreamwings. This specialized set of textures enhances Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 with an authentic representation of the carrier’s short-haul regional service. The package has you covered if you want an extra layer of realism that matches the visual identity of Air France’s real-world fleet.
Unique Embraer 170 Model from Dreamwings
Crafted by Dreamwings, this Embraer 170 (Origin: Brazil) replicates the aerodynamic nuances of a modern regional jet. The Version 3 release refines several components, including the flight dynamics engine (FDE) and exterior animations. By designing an E-Jet with distinct wing geometry and carefully modeled fuselage contours, the developer ensures that the simulation community can explore high-fidelity cockpit instrumentation and operational performance.
Textures by AJ Nikoley
All repaint work showcased here is credited to AJ Nikoley. He skillfully applied Air France’s recognizable tail branding and fuselage logo, preserving subtle details like door outlines, rivet placements, and engine shading. The end result effectively captures the airline’s iconic silhouette.
