FS2004 Korean Air Boeing 737-800

Elevate the experience in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 with a meticulously crafted representation of a Korean Air Boeing 737-800. This freeware release integrates a complete base model and a detailed livery to immerse users in every stage of flight. It includes advanced modeling work, refined flight characteristics, and precise techniques that showcase authentic airline visuals.

Technical Aspects and Moving Components

The model uses Gmax, a specialized modeling tool that enables high-polygon detail and realistic features. In particular, it incorporates:

• Full moving parts for smooth animations around the wings and landing gear
• Dynamic shine to mimic varying light conditions
• Custom lighting that adapts to dusk, night, and day operations
• Scratch-built visual geometry to reflect actual aircraft proportions

These capabilities establish a robust environment for takeoffs, landings, and transitions between different phases of flight.

Refined Flight Dynamics and Testing

All flight parameters have been developed from the ground up, resulting in a flight model that has never been utilized before. Moreover, these flight dynamics have undergone assessments by a commercial pilot who holds a Boeing 737 type rating. This ensures the aircraft responds to inputs in a way that closely reflects actual operations, particularly in climb, cruise, and descent profiles.

Authentic Airline Livery

Korean Air is widely recognized for its distinctive light blue fuselage and red accent colors, which are accurately captured in this package. The repaint, created by Joe Tan, showcases a clean application of the airline’s branding along the entire airframe. Subtle details, such as logo placement and correct paint layering, enhance the realism when viewed from multiple camera angles.

Accredited Contributors

The base model presented here has been produced by Kittyhawk. Additionally, Erick Cantu refined the model and textures to ensure a faithful recreation of the aircraft’s silhouette and branding elements. The flight dynamics (FDE), spearheaded by Shawn Anderson, deliver an immersive in-cockpit and external performance profile.

By encompassing all of these traits and more, this freeware aircraft package adds a new dimension to any Boeing airliner collection. It captures the unique style of Korean Air alongside reliable modeling methods, creating a standout addition for those looking to enhance their civil aviation fleet in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004.
