FS2004 Condor Classic Boeing 767-300 D-ABUD

This add-on presents a classic Condor Flugdienst Boeing 767-300, registration D-ABUD, for FS2004. It comes as a fully assembled freeware package, complete with default panel and sound. Condor, known for serving major holiday routes from Germany and across Europe, once integrated this iconic wide-body twinjet into its fleet to support long-haul operations in a comfortable, reliable manner.

Distinctive Attributes of the 767-300ER

The Boeing 767-300ER (Extended Range) variant is built for intercontinental flights, carrying medium to large passenger loads with high efficiency. Its advanced aerodynamic profile and twin-engine design help conserve fuel while preserving robust thrust for transoceanic missions. Moreover, the 767 lineup spans several passenger and cargo configurations, ensuring optimal operational versatility. The central positioning of the 767 family—between the single-aisle 757 and the broader 777—made it a preferred choice among carriers seeking a balanced aircraft.

Design Highlights and Animation

iFDG (international flightsim design group) has meticulously developed this 767-300 model, featuring reflective liveries, animated flight surfaces, and functional flaperons. The external textures showcase realistic shading and metallic reflections, accurately capturing the Condor color scheme of the era. The cockpit experience is supplemented by a standard FS2004 panel and audio package, ensuring that virtual pilots enjoy a seamless setup without needing extra components.

Technical Background

Condor’s 767s historically handled a variety of holiday routes, often flying to North American and Caribbean destinations. With this add-on, simming enthusiasts can replicate those journeys or branch out to other international airports, taking advantage of the 767’s sturdy cruising performance and moderate fuel burn. True to the real jet, the digital freighter configuration—if chosen—can also mirror cargo operations where weight and range factors come into play.
