Airbus A340-300 GE (new colors), registration G-VBUS. By Project Open Sky. Paint by Ben Hewitt.

The Virgin Atlantic Airbus A340-300 is a long range four engine wide body commercial passenger jet airliner that entered service in 1991. It was designed to hold 297 passengers on long range flights. It is also available for flight simulation enthusiasts.

The FS2004 Virgin Atlantic Airbus A340-300 package gives you both the basic and high gross models and includes the A340-200 and -300 models with -5C2 and -5C4 engine options. You also get the A340-313E model with -5C4/P engines and increased MTOW. The makers of this add-on made the simulation as life-like as possible including fully animated control surfaces and dynamic wings that respond to turbulence. This Airbus has fully reflective, detailed textures and cargo and passenger doors that really open.

A new addition is the full night effects and rain effects on the windshield. All the data included with this simulation are taken from actual Airbus data and it’s even tested by an actual A340 pilot. If you get stuck, there is also a flight operations manual to help you through.
