FS2004 Air Pacific Boeing 767-300 DQ-FJC

This freeware package features a fully integrated Air Pacific Boeing 767-300 (registration DQ-FJC) for FS2004 that encompasses all essential elements, including the aircraft model, custom sound pack, effects, and a specialized panel. It includes contributions from several creators: Project Open Sky designed the core model, John J. Schumacher provided the panel configuration, and Jean Francois Colombain compiled the complete installation files. Additionally, the well-known iFDG team contributed key Boeing 767 elements that enhance visual realism and flight dynamics.

Aircraft Background and Unique Features

The Boeing 767-300 is a twin-engine, medium-to-long-range airliner known for its efficient performance and comfortable cabin layout. Air Pacific, the national carrier of Fiji operating under the famous island-friendly branding, typically uses such aircraft for transoceanic routes. This add-on adheres to the real-world livery details, showcasing reflective textures and precise animations (for example, flaps and flaperons). The primary model boasts advanced materials, and the flight deck reflects the typical digital avionics suite one might expect in the 767 family.

Selected Technical Highlights

The 767 series, which also includes the 767-200ER and 767-400ER, has established a reputation for reliability and versatility in the 200- to 300-seat market. This release incorporates various design improvements taken directly from the real-world variants. For instance, the freighter model and extended-range (ER) features are reflected in the included configuration, demonstrating low noise output, improved fuel efficiency, and distinctive flight deck technology.

Included Components

• Project Open Sky model: High-fidelity exterior and 3D animations.
• John J. Schumacher panel: Tailored instrumentation and cockpit layout for authentic 767 procedures.
• Jean Francois Colombain package assembly: All items bundled into a single installer.
• iFDG Boeing 767 assets: Enhanced flight dynamics and reflective texture mapping.

Installation Details

The installer streamlines configuration by placing effects, sounds, and other necessary files into their correct directories. After running the installer, add the sound.dll to the “FS2004\modules” folder to ensure compatibility with the custom audio environment. The following adjustment in the FS9.cfg file is also required to allow older modules to run without error:

[OLDMODULES]
FSSound.dll=1

Locate your FS9.cfg in C:\Documents and Settings\[Your Windows Login]\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9 and insert these lines using a text editor such as Notepad. Once this step is completed, you can enjoy seamless in-flight audio, visuals, and performance reflective of a real Boeing 767-300 in Air Pacific colors.
