Installation Guidance

Base Package: Unzip the Dreamwings_erj170_base folder directly into your main C:/ directory or your chosen add-on library. Ensure that the extracted files align with your simulator’s Aircraft or SimObjects folder structure as needed.

Livery Packages: Unzip each Dreamwings_erj170_XXXXX archive into the same C:/ directory. This step merges the new liveries with their respective model configurations so you can seamlessly load the United Airlines variant.

All interior and exterior refinements retain the original Dreamwings lines while building on Dirk Kiefer's specialized paintwork. By installing the dedicated panel and sound enhancements, you can further immerse yourself in the E170’s flight deck environment without straying far from the aerodynamic fidelity and visual quality that made the Dreamwings model an FS2004 favorite.
