FS2004 Lufthansa Boeing 767-300 D-ABUV Star Alliance

This freeware Boeing 767-300 package showcases Lufthansa’s D-ABUV in its striking Star Alliance scheme. The add-on incorporates every standout feature one would expect, including reflective textures, a highly detailed fuselage surface, and carefully animated elements such as flaps, flaperons, and other dynamic control surfaces. It even includes an operable exit, cargo hatch, and a visible cabin attendant for added immersion. Furthermore, default panel and sound are embedded in the bundle, so no extras are needed to enjoy it straight away. Original development credits go to iFGD, and Dirk Kiefer is responsible for applying the authentic external paintwork.

Major Visual Highlights in This 767 Mod

Reflective content on the fuselage and wings provides a realistic sense of depth, especially when viewed from certain angles during changing light conditions. Dynamic shine, in tandem with high-resolution textures, accentuates subtle details on the airframe. Animations extend to pivotal flight components, with the flaps, spoilers, and flaperons moving in unison just as one would expect on this twin-aisle aircraft. The Star Alliance title is rendered with careful precision along the fuselage, replicating Lufthansa’s customization.

Insights into the Boeing 767 Lineup

Developed initially in the early 1980s, the Boeing 767 series spans multiple variants, catering to airlines that require between 200 and 300 seats. Common derivatives include the extended-range 767-300ER, which underpins many freighter conversions because of its reliable airframe and cargo capacity. Its streamlined twin-engine design, positioned dimensionally between single-aisle and larger widebody aircraft, has made it a preferred platform among many carriers seeking a balance of efficiency, range, and passenger comfort.

Relevance of the Lufthansa Star Alliance Livery

Lufthansa, renowned as Germany’s primary airline, operates in collaboration with Star Alliance members to connect global destinations. Showcasing the Star Alliance markings on this 767-300 underlines the collaborative spirit of global airline partnerships while retaining Lufthansa’s unique touches, such as logos and tail markings.

Structural Functionality and Extras

Beyond replica surface detailing, the design includes an operational exit doorway, a movable cargo panel for freight handling, and a detailed 3D figure as a flight attendant. The cockpit benefits from a default panel setup, and default engine sounds are employed for seamless integration without extra files.
