FS2004 British Midland Boeing 767-200ER G-BMIA

This freeware package brings a faithful virtual rendition of the Boeing 767-200ER in the British Midland livery, meticulously crafted by the team at iFDG with paintwork by Rene Bruun. Featuring a fully integrated base model and refined external surfaces, this release caters to enthusiasts looking for a detailed, wide-bodied simulation experience in FS2004.

Distinctive Exterior Model and Animated Surfaces

The included 767-200ER model reflects attention to detail across multiple visual elements. You will notice precise animations for core control surfaces alongside flaps and flaperons (combined flap-aileron devices). Furthermore, the textured fuselage highlights reflective qualities that replicate the way real aircraft surfaces catch environmental light. These refined details provide an immersive look, especially when the aircraft is positioned against varying skies within the virtual environment.

Insights on the British Midland Configuration

G-BMIA, flying under the British Midland banner, highlights the airline’s dedication to operating efficient and passenger-friendly routes. British Midland, often recognized for serving key European destinations, adapted twin-aisle aircraft such as the 767 to provide added passenger comfort on mid-range services. This model brings that same blend of performance and versatility to your sim world, extending realistic air travel options.

Family of Wide-Body Variants

As part of the broader 767 family, the 767-200ER resides alongside the 767-300ER and 767-400ER passenger variants, plus freighter adaptations. The series benefits from aerodynamic refinements, powerful two-engine design, and carefully tuned flight decks. These upgrades support reliability, fuel efficiency, and relatively quiet cabin environments—attributes that airlines rely on for both short and transoceanic flights.

Key Performance and Operational Traits

Occupying a middle ground between the single-aisle 757 and the larger 777, the 767-200ER balances operational prowess and passenger capacity. Users will appreciate the attention to flight dynamics and systems modeling, mirroring real aircraft handling. In the cargo variant (inspired by the 767-300ER), aerodynamic and materials advancements carry over to save fuel while preserving operational adaptability.
